I've never understood what's so attractive about Marlon Brando. It's baffling.
Something tells me this is going to be the Marlon Brando frink thread.

I think that his reputation for being attractive was created so long ago and the world was so different that we couldn't understand it today. For one thing he was an artist and took his work seriously, was not just a movie star. I think that earned him respect in a very Modern way.
I think that what made him a Movie Star though was the way he could portray a different sort of character than you might see Henry Fonda or James Stewart play. Those guys seemed to keep it clean. I saw Grapes of Wrath not too long ago, and Henry Fonda was very good, and possibly his All American image helped his role be even more effective. He just got out of prison, but he could still be on his way to choir practice and he can't quite believe the way the establishment has turned against his family.
Marlon Brando seems much more streetwise than that. The way he is dressed was sort of a scandal at the time. The way he cuts through the nonsense with the character of Blanche, and still doesn't come across as entirely unsympathetic probably made him stand out at the time.
To me this movie is about Blanche, though most of her story is already over by the time she shows up to visit.

People are considerably more interesting when they are slapping and spitting, even more so when they are slapping and spitting at you. Particularly females, otherwise only yawns and orgasms, cesarean scars and vacations to Malaga or the cinema or some other useless place - there's no shelf-life for such flickering fancies. Of course, the fact still remains that many people need someone to kick the picalilly and hope from them, thus;
I'd burn myself with cigarettes for an abusive relationship.
You're insane..maybe that's a good thing?
