It's been confirmed that Marlon Brando has died at the age of 80. An old age for someone who definately deserved to live that long.


I remember last seeing him in The Island of Dr. Moreau in 1996 and he was looking pretty rough, to say the least.

I heard the news and sadly it is true. The entertainment business has lost another great actor. His fans and myself will missed him. He was just one of a kind.

RIP Marlon Brandon.

Greetings, fellow primates! Normally, I don't frequent the Movie Celebrities section of these forums, but thought it would only be appropriate to reflect back on one of Hollywood's well known fixtures in cinema.

As some of you may know, Marlon Brando, most noted for his parts in Apocalypse Now, Godfather and Streetcar Named Desire, passed today at age 80. Not one to elevate celebrities onto a pedestal more than they already have been on their own, I do feel that society has lost yet another member of a film generation long since replaced by explosive film budgets and mass SGI.

For those of you who actually liked Brando as an actor, I'd be curious to know which portayal of his is the most memorable to you. This is an opportune time to reflect on a great career... in his own words, "an offer you can't refuse".

seriously? that sucks big time

Who the heck is Marlon Brando?

I just heard about his passing about 30 mins ago such a big shame, he was a great bloke and fab actor of his time...will be sadly missed !!

ok... he's the Godfather in the Godfather, one of his most recent movies.

he was a great actor...i wish the best for his loved ones...r.i.p

Never seen em :/ Oh well, ill look up some pics of him to see if i know who it is

RIP Mr. Brando, you were one of the greatest actors of our time.

i wont be sorry he died. He was old and no one deserves to suffer in old age. So be glad he has moved on to another path

And i am extremely thankful for the legend he proved to be on screen. Without him we would never have known how great an actor can get.

So rest in peace Mr. Brando and thanks for the masterpieces.

my thought exacty.

i was watching the news and they announced this.


i was like holy sh*t.


thats weird because i was watching the godfather last night and then wack brando dies.

Sorry I didn't see your posting before mine went up, botankus. Could have sworn I went up and down the page to make sure this thread hadn't been started before throwing my own up there. Alas, they probably shall be merged before long....

he had it in the movie discussion first...had been moved here.
juts to clear that up

i couldn't believe it when i heard he died..i'm so sad he was a great actor

Today is a black day for cinema.

R.I.P. Mr Brando

That's really sad, I've saw it today on the news... he was an excellent actor!

hmmmmmmm obviously all_for_orlando is OBVIOUSLY A CHILD

cause only a CHILD will be asking who MARLON BRANDO is?!?!?

damn another great actor of an era is gone...... RIP Marlon Brando

i was on imdb and i saw it and burst into tears and called my friend and parents to tell them....my parents didnt seem 2 care that much but i couldnt hold it together....the man was a genious and sadly with all his debt and medical problems it was probably for the best

But he's the Godfather! Who's going to take care of me when my parents die? Bye Bye MB.

I'm surprised no-one else has said this;

It's not just that Brando was a (sporadically) great actor it's that he utterly re-wrote the rule-book for movie acting. Pre brando yer hero type was all clean cut and speaking clearly, brando was a bruised looking almost feminine brute who mumbled and glowered - I don't think it's wrong to say that he almost single handedly changed what the notion of hero and leading man should be, and so - changed cinema.

Not to mention long after his debut once he'd been written off, he strolled back onto the scene with Last Tango and made a whole new generation seem forced and self conscious AGAIN.

I doubt we could name an actor who wasn't influenced by him to some extent, and he made it look effortless. Thats some legacy.

i'll miss the guy, his decline in later years was especially sad.

he just settled on his private island, and became obese, coming out to act strangely on talk shows and making unsavory comments about jews (he apoligized).

It upsets me that one of the greatest actors of our time spent his twighlight years as a running joke on the critic.

Have you seen the film Don Juan De'marco with Johnny Depp? He was in that...good film..and Johnny looked so yummy

ironic

forever may he live in our hearts

RIP Brando

Marlon Brando was handesome back in the day!

I've been a huge Brando fan for a couple of years now, and I have seen a lot of his work, and although he had many iconic roles, the one that I saw first is the one that transformed me into the fan that I am. The film was not The Godfather- the film that most of our generation would associate him with, but A Streetcar Named Desire- the film that made him a star for the first time and blew audiences away. No-one had ever seen this kind of acting on the screen before, he was so realistic in his actions, the way he spoke and he had such an incredible presence. Every time Brando is on screen, you can look at no-one else. As Stanley Kowalski, he is animalistic, sensual, powerful and brutal...I could not imagine any other actor in the role. Definitely my favourite Marlon role.

I'm so sad to see him go and I cried my eyes out, even though I knew that he would be going soon. He embodied everything that was great about classic Hollywood cinema and he has left an incredible legacy- there is not an actor today who hasn't been influenced by the mighty Brando. May he reign forever as the best actor the world has ever or will ever see.

Did I mention how beautiful the man was back in the day? Wow! The sexiest thing I've ever seen.
