On The Waterfront
The Man Lived by the Jungle Law of the Docks!
Marlon Brando, what a guy, what an actor. A great performance here and a great film as well. Think of your favourite actor....he wishes he was Brando (if you didn't think of Brando
)
On The Waterfront is a powerful film that has Brando as an ex-prize fighter, standing up to the union bosses after he is unknowingly involved in a murder. Brando shines as the torn, uneducated man who decides to take these crooked ego inflated men on. He apparently hated the term method acting, but he brought it out in full force and brought something out in him that graced the screen. People try to reproduce that same style, dedication and pure raw talent today.
A gripping story that is more engaging to the viewer due to the strong performances. On The Waterfront in a classic in all the sense. Two men sitting the backseat of a taxi talking, is such a memorable scene, such an emotional scene and scene that is still quoted today. Bravo to everyone involved in making this film.
I would advise people, specifically the young ones of this generation, to stop for a moment and simply watch this film. Put down the iPod, turn off the computer and watch what classic film is like. What a powerful performance is like, what a emotional gripping story is like. On The Waterfront has all these and more.
