BROGOGRADE BRANDOD
St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. Although, according to the actor himself, he then hated this character all his life, fearing associations with this beast -like type. But for the rest of his life, the shadow of the anti -hero followed him on his heels, showing himself in one way or another in the roles that Marlon Brando played in the cinema. In childhood, the boy was called a dietary supplement.
Mom was an actress and played on the stage of the Omakhi Theater, a town in Nebraska. She maintained friendly relations with the future world celebrity - actor Henry Fund. In childhood, Marlon Brando, Marlon, owned his own business for the production of fodder and chemical additives. He was a tough and despotistical person, forbade households to manifest emotions and tenderness.
The only outlet for Dodi called the mother in the family was music: she loved to sing, accompanying herself on the piano. But the patience of the woman was not enough for a long time. Later, Marlon recalled: in early childhood, I had a normal house: father, mother and two sisters, Francis and Joslin. I adored mother, her beauty, charm, lightness. However, this did not last long.
Mother began to disappear from the house. Once she returned home drunk, called the cats into the bedroom and drove them with valerian. When, intoxicated, they lay around her, she fell asleep with such a good expression on her face, as if she were among her best friends. Badu was six years old, his sisters were eleven and eight, when the whole family moved to the town of Evanton near Chicago.
Great depression began. Brando-Sr. was offered a place of sales manager at the Calcium Corporation, which was a good way out of the current situation with his own decline in business. Dodi categorically did not want to leave, because there was not a single theater in Evanston, but she did not dare to argue with her husband. She began to drink even more, the young housekeeper Ermmy looked after the children, to whom the boy became very attached.
Marlon Brando and the older sisters of the children were sent to the prestigious school named after Abraham Lincoln, but the dietary supplement shocked peers for a long time. He felt all abandoned: his mother did not deal with them, Ermy quit and left, his father only scolded him and ashamed him for the slightest misconduct, and sometimes just like that.
The feeling of injustice of this world has settled in a boy and took bitter roots. Marlon Brando with her mother, nevertheless, one friend appeared. Eleven -year -old Wally Cox was fond of cinema and addicted his classmate Bad to him. Together they revised all the paintings that were only brought to the cinema. Then for the first time the boy thought about the fact that he could also become an actor.
Soon Dodie took the children and moved from a despotistical husband to her mother in Santa-ana, a town in California. Mom still drank, but took up the formation of her daughters: Francis was seriously carried away by painting, and Joslin decided that she would follow in the footsteps of her mother and would play on stage. Bad was already a teenager and painfully perceived that nobody cares about him again.
He began to behave defiantly, and at school he constantly conflict with teachers and peers, but he showed success in sports. Meanwhile, Brando Sr. returned the family and transferred everyone to a small village in Illinois, where everyone settled in a large house, which was provided by a farm, hired a man to a leading position. Bad became interested in music, became a drummer in an amateur team.
In addition, there was a drama circle at the school, and he enthusiastically portrayed in the performances of the villains. But he did not know how to play romantic or comic heroes at all, so he soon abandoned classes and took up reading books that were in abundance of his mother. Like many at that time, Brando began to listen to radio feeds and tried to imitate the voices of the artists.
Then he began to parody others and behaved more arrogant in relation to friends and teachers, for which he was repeatedly punished. Marlon Brando at a military school, in order to see the young rebel, his father sent him to Schattak’s military school, where he once studied himself. Bad found suitable classes there for himself: he became a regular in the reading room, enthusiastically attended a cinema and showed his acting talent to the local English professor Erlu Wagner, reading excerpts from William Shakespeare.
He went on the stage of the local theater, already much better than having dealt with the entrusted role and tore off the applause of the audience. After that, the teacher wrote to the parents of Marlon a delighted letter, convincing them that their son has an undoubted acting gift that cannot be buried in a military school. Father was furious. In his understanding, all the actors were homosexuals, and their profession was shameful.
But it was too late. The film career is a stubborn and self-war young man threw the school and went to New York, where his sister lived. He entered the acting studio and did not study for long at the School of Social Research, where the theater class was. The Second World War was still going on when Marlon debuted in the Broadway production “I Love Mom”. He began to be called the hope of American theatrical stage, but Brando was of little interest to the theater.Marlon Brando in the role of Stanley Kovalski his Stanley on the screen - sensual, sexy, like an eternally hungry beast, struck the audience.
Even the famous Vivien Lee was somewhat lost against his background, although she received an Oscar statuette for her role. Brando was so dissolved in his hero that he behaved in a similar way for some time in life. Tram desire. A fragment from the film actor began to be perceived as a rude unbalanced person, and he decided not to dissuade others in this. The shadow of Kovalski pursued him in the next film of the cauldron “Viva Sapata!
Frame from the movie "Viva Sapata!
He was invited to the roles in the cinema, eminent directors, but Brando starred in the drama of the little -known Laszlo Benedec Dikar, playing the leader of the Black rebels group Johnny Strebler. And again he got to the point. He became an idol of youth, embodying on the screen the image of a biker, which is contrary to generally accepted norms. Marlon Brando in the film “The savage” was the next Mark Anthony in the historical drama “Julius Caesar”, and the first “Oscar” the actor received for the embodiment of the image of the former boxer Terry Malloy, who embarked on the path of the criminal trade union clicked in the crime melodrama “In Porto”.
Marlon Brando in the role of Mark Anthony Marlon became the youngest laureate of the cherished award, but he took it very prosaically: he used a figurine to block the home door. It should be noted that the role of the protagonist was supposed to play Frank Sinatra, with whom the contract was even signed, but the producer insisted on the candidacy of Brando and did not lose.
The samples of the young Brando of the sixties in the actor’s creative career were less successful, despite several main roles. The star of Brando again lit up in the year when he starred in the gangster drama of Francis Ford Coppola "Godfather". His character - Don Vito Corleone - went on the screen for a long way: from a brilliant graying gentleman to a sloppy, unlucky old man. The actor’s game was brilliant, despite the fact that at first he was not wanted to see in the picture the producers who heard about his non -standard behavior on the set.
Marlon Brandnoye, in the role of Don Corleone Marlon, was awarded the next Oscar, but he did not appear at the ceremony, sending a girl named Sashin a light pen from the Apache tribe in his place. According to his instruction, she also did not accept the figurine, thereby attracting public attention to the problems of discrimination of the indigenous American peoples. This was one of the Brando shares for civil rights, which he spent a lot, demonstrating a clear political position.
Separately, it is worth saying about the visual masterpiece of Francis Ford Coppola “Apocalypse Today”, which metaphorically told about the dark sides of the human person, which the war exposes. Brando, who played the former colonel of Kurtz, who imagines himself to be God, is present in the frame for several minutes, but his long -awaited appearance is so staggering that it attracts to himself again and again.
The monologue Colonel Kurtz with another loud role of Brando in X was the image of the aging widow of the field in the drama of Bernardo Bertolucci “The Last Tango in Paris”. Maria Schneider became a partner who played his young mistress Jeanne. The spectators followed the spiritual degeneration of the field with a lurking, living with the actor all Freudian ups and downs.
For the embodiment of this role on the screen, Brando was once again nominated for an Oscar, but he did not get more a figurine, which he reacted before with such contempt. Nevertheless, the film was included in the Golden Fund of World Cinema. Marlon Brando in the film "Last Tango in Paris" in the early eighties, Marlon Brando announced the end of the acting career.
He decided to engage in writing, but subsequently he periodically starred in the cinema. In the eighties, films with his participation were released - “Formula”, “The dry white season”, “Novice” - a total of ten paintings, in most of which the actor appeared in small roles. One of his last roles was the image of a psychotherapist in the Don Juan de Marco melodrama, where young Johnny Depp flashed.
However, Kinodiva soon preferred him the playwright Arthur Miller. Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando numerous novels did not prevent the actor from getting married several times and divorce. His first wife was Indian actress Anna Kashphy in the year. A year later, their son Christian Devi was born, and a year later a divorce took place. Even the six -year -old age difference did not prevent, although Movita understood that she could hardly tie a handsome man to her for a long time.
In this marriage, which lasted two years, Marlon had a son Miko Castanedo. After the divorce, relations from Movit did not end - their daughter Rebecca was born in the year. His chosen one was eighteen years younger, gave birth to two children - Simon Taykhot and Tarita Chainnie. Maimity, born in his first marriage, Marlon adopted the daughter of his wife. Together they lived ten years.
Actor Marlon Brando in his youth in the autobiographical book “The Song that my mother sang”, Marlon admitted that in his life there were also same -sex connections, but he was not at all ashamed. Having made such a “camming out” in the year, the actor even joked that he did not mind if the press attributes his love relationship with his only friend Jack Nicholson.
Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson Death in the late nineties, the former first handsome Hollywood began to suffer from obesity caused by diabetes and liver disease. His weight exceeded kilograms, problems with the lungs began. By the end of his life, Marlon Brando turned fat because of Miko Castanedo's health problems, whom the actor arranged to work as a guard with his friend Michael Jackson, took his father to the ranch, where Brando could breathe fresh air on the open veranda.
Despite the serious condition and oxygen deficiency, Marlon considered the possibility of working on a script about himself a few days before his death. Before the actor was taken to the Ronald Reagan medical clinic, he dictated detailed instructions on his own funeral on the tape recorder: the names of the invited, those whom he does not want to see how to start the ceremony and how to finish.
He bequeathed his ashes over the ocean along with the ashes of a child's friend Wally Cox, whose urn was stored at his house since the death of the latter. The funeral passed strictly according to his will, and the ashes after cremation were divided into two parts and scattered over the ocean near the Tahiti and above the death valley in California.
