"You don't have any respect for me, you don't consider me a friend, you don't even want to call me the "Godfather"... What the hell did I do to make you so disrespectful to me"?
The master of this voice, representing justice and justice, is named Vito Don Corleone, whom the world reveres as the "Godfather."
He sat in a chair, a cat coddled in his arms, across from him was someone asking for help, godchildren Tom listening, old pipe organs playing lonely in the corner... This picture is the beginning of "The Godfather".
Since then, backlights, vistas, small elevation angles, small backs of conversation... It has become a must-use shooting method for "gangster movies".
"The Godfather" has not only become the "Bible of Men", but also a "milestone of gangster cinema", and Vito Corleone has become the "eternal godfather" in the minds of the audience...
There is a rumor: After the release of "The Godfather", the mafia boss in New York at the time found Marlon Brando, the actor of Vito Corleone, and asked him to teach himself "how to be a real boss".
This shows how deeply vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando, is. As the accolade goes: Marlon Brando, the greatest godfather, cruel and warm, the most elegant mafia boss in history.... No matter how hard Al Pacino works, there is only one godfather, and that is the eternal Marlon Brando.

Marlon Brando was born in 1924 in Nebraska, usa, and his father Brando Sr. was a mystery, some people said that he was a pesticide and chemical businessman, and some people said that he was a tourist salesman... His mother,Dottie, was an actress who had served as theater manager, and Marlon Brando's talent as an actor was inherited from her mother.
Marlon Brando's mother was an extraordinary woman in that era, who loved to smoke, to drive, to wear pants, to drink... These acts, for the women of that era, were wanton and sinful.
So Marlon Brando's childhood was spent in the quarrels and beatings of his parents.
The unbearable childhood made Marlon Brando rebellious, did not love school, and was dropped out of school several times, including a military school.
In Malone's memories, when he was a child, he was very resistant to going to school. In order to complete the arduous task of letting him go to kindergarten, the second sister Joslin had no choice but to undo his belt, put it on Malone's body, and drag him to his destination.
Marlon Brando, who did not like to go to school since childhood, almost spent his school career in absenteeism and fighting, and his father sent him to a military school in order to make him less rebellious, and as a result, in the military school, Marlon Brando was expelled for bumping into his superiors.
Marlon Brando, who was expelled, decided to follow in the footsteps of his sisters and went to New York to study acting.
New York, where Marlon Brando's life and unruly legends began!
While in New York, Marlon Brando became a student of Stella Adler, and his talent for acting surprised Stella.
After seeing Marlon Brando's talent, Stella decided to pass on her acting skills to Marlon Brando without reservation.
This gives the future Marlon Brando a foothold in Hollywood.
Stella knew that Marlon Brando was only rebellious on the outside, but in fact extremely insecure and loving inside, so she often took him back to her home and gave Marlon love.
The empathetic Stella is the white moonlight in Marlon Brando's life, illuminating Marlon Brando's young life.
However, Stella did not expect that she would leave a "suspense case" that could never be solved because of her kindness to Marlon Brando.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">02、</h1>
Marlon Brando lived up to Stella's cultivation.
After graduating from Stella, Marlon Brando became a rising star in the theater at that time with stage plays such as "Nostalgia for Mom" and "The Birth of a Flag".
In 1950, at the age of 26, Marlon Brando was favored by the film industry and came from New York to Los Angeles to write his own "Hollywood bad boy" legend.
In 1950, Marlon Brando starred in The True Colors of Boys, marlon Brando's screen debut, and was directed by the famous Fred Kimmani.
Unfortunately, at the time, the response was mediocre, and Marlon Brando did not become a hit.
What really made Marlon Brando popular was in 1951, when director Ilya Kazan brought the play "Desire Streetcar" to the big screen.
Kazan had seen Marlon Brando perform the play many years ago, so he was the best candidate for the male lead in Kazan's mind.
Sure enough, Marlon Brando, with his unruly personality, succeeded in playing the rogue image of the proletarian Stanley.
The character of Stanley became Marlon Brando's most iconic and often imitated film image.
Before Marlon Brando, the films of the world cinema had always been gentle and elegant, but the beastly masculinity and brutality of Stanley in "Desire StreetCar" opened a new chapter for the film industry.
Los Angeles magazine said, "In an era when no one knew what rock 'n' roll was, Brando was rock' roll."
As a result, Marlon Brando gained the reputation of "Hollywood Bad Boys", which made him famous in one fell swoop and also made him a label.
So many years later, Marlon Brando said:
"Even today I meet people who naturally think I'm the ruthless, insensitive, rough-mannered man Stanley Kawalski. They couldn't help but think so, but it was troublesome for me. ”
"StreetCar Desire" made Marlon Brando nominated for an Oscar, but unfortunately, because his performance was too "hard" and contrary to the "righteous hero" in Hollywood movies, he missed the Academy Award.
Since then, Marlon Brando has filmed "Julius Caesar" and "The Wild Man" and other works, all of which have been nominated for Oscars, but for various reasons, they missed the Oscars.
It wasn't until 1954, when a low-budget film, Pier Storm, came out, in which Marlon Brando played a dock porter.
In order to play this role well, Marlon Brando personally went to the dock and worked as a porter for two months, so he played the role to life. This time, nothing could stop him from winning the Oscar.
After "The Docks", Marlon Brando became a pivotal figure in Hollywood, and he began to attend high-society balls, which ushered in new problems for him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">03、</h1>
Marlon Brando, after entering high society, is out of step with high society, always wearing ripped jeans and shuttling among successful people in suits and shoes, which is eye-catching.
Such a personality made him labeled as a well-behaved and unruly personality by the good deeds, coupled with the extreme charm of Marlon Brando in his youth, countless girls were fascinated by him. This drove the columnists who liked to create celebrity gossip crazy, but Marlon Brando always spoke harshly to these people, even beating them up.
Once, after recording a show, he went home with the female host, was followed by paparazzi Grera, and when Marlon Brando found out, he shot the other party and seriously injured him, and finally spent $40,000 to reach a settlement. This led to the fact that later when Grala attended the party, she heard that Marlon Brando was also present, and he put on his rugby helmet before entering the ball...
For his debauchery and mercurial life, Marlon Brando never hides it. Then he violated Hollywood taboos.
In 1957, Marlon Brando married his first wife, Anna Cashfie.
For this wife, Marlon Brando did not have much love with her, but only to show his political position: Anna Cashfie is half Indian.
Marlon Brando's behavior directly violated the taboo of Hollywood at that time, because blood was very important in the United States at that time.
This marriage lasted for two years, but due to internal insensitivity and external pressure, it was broken, and the two were pregnant with a son, Christian Brando.
At this time, Marlon Brando must not have imagined that his daughter would die because of this son.
In 1960, Marlon Brando fell in love with actress Movita while filming Long Live Sabada, and the two soon married.
Movita is a full 7 years older than Marlon Brando, and the marriage is a flash marriage, and love comes and goes quickly.
In 1962, Marlon Brando filmed "Rebel Ship Blood" and fell in love with 19-year-old actress Tarita Terepia, who was 19 years younger than Marlon Brando.
With the addition of Tarita, the marriage of Marlon Brando and Movita was broken.
In August, Marlon Brando married Taretta, who became Malone's third wife.
However, while Marlon Brando was with his petite wife, fate played a big joke with him: he was involved in a movie lawsuit.
In 1961, Marlon Brando signed a five-film shooting agreement with Universal, which ushered in Waterloo in Marlon Brando's life.
Universal's five works, in addition to the 1963 release of "The Ugly American" box office is acceptable, the follow-up "Boudoir", "Abalusa", "Hong Kong Countess" and "Three Wolves Blood" all ended in defeat.
Coupled with a 1965 "Spy Ship", Brando was completely reduced to "box office poison", and Universal sued Marlon Brando for not retracting the box office.
At this time, Marlon Brando, because Chaplin's "instructional preaching" was very unhappy, was in a fight with others...
Marlon Brando lost a lawsuit with Universal, and Marlon Brando was in debt.
After many consecutive works on the street and huge debts, Marlon Brando began to completely release himself and became a famous "prodigal son" in Hollywood.
In Marlon Brando's recollection, he had 11 women in his lifetime, including Marilyn Monroe and Kannanshi.
But according to U.S. media statistics: Marlon Brando's lifelong women, at least 25, including 6 more committed suicide for him.
Marlon Brando has been in trouble with his housekeeper for many years, has three children, and has an affair with his female assistant Jokalin. In addition, he is most likely the biological father of Linda Kairou, Linda Kairou's mother is Paula, Paula and Marlon Brando's early mentor Stella's daughter Alan is a roommate, Paula often borrows Ellen's house, and Marlon Brando is often brought home by Stella...
After Marlon Brando's lawsuit failed, he gradually lost track in the film circle, active in lace news, and even occasionally talked about his private life, the "degenerate" Oscar emperor, gradually reduced to the public after tea joke.
In 1972, Taretta couldn't stand Marlon Brando's lace news any longer and chose to leave.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">04</h1>
Marlon Brando's acting career was divided into two periods: the peak of the 50s and 70s, and the fallen 60s and later years.
In the 1960s, due to the legal dispute of the film, Marlon Brando was saddled with huge debts, and he once lost his confidence. It wasn't until 1972 that Coppola bought Mario's novel The Godfather and prepared to make it into a movie.
In Coppola's ideal form, there are two candidates who are suitable for the role of Vito Corleone: Marlon Brando and Lawrence Oliver.
Between the two, Coppola recognized Marlon Brando more, but the investment firm Paramount felt that Marlon Brando was too difficult to get along with, and he had become a "box office poison".
But under Coppola's arguments, Marlon Brando was given the opportunity to interview, but needed to comply with three conditions:
Must accept a much lower remuneration than the usual remuneration;
must be financially liable for any delay in filming resulting from his actions;
Must be auditioned.
At that time, Marlon Brando was almost desperate and desperately needed money, and Coppola was the only director who dared to use him, so Marlon Brando paid special attention to this interview.
After hearing the specific details of the movie, Marlon Brando made the role of the godfather look more majestic, with a sense of a pit bull, he stuffed two lumps of cotton in his mouth, and when Marlon Brando appeared, Coppola was instantly impressed, and immediately decided on Marlon Brando.
As a result, Marlon Brando starred in "The Godfather" at a super low price of $50,000.
Of course, Marlon Brando signed an agreement with Paramount that if the box office exceeds 10 million, he can get one percent of the box office as an additional reward, and if the total box office exceeds 60 million, it will increase to five percent.
Unfortunately, Marlon Brando was desperately short of money, so he sold the agreement for $100,000, resulting in a loss of $11 million.
It is worth mentioning that Marlon Brando is the guide of Al Pacino, although "The Godfather" is not Pacino's first work, but Pacino was a proper newcomer at the time, "The Godfather" this work, this round did not come to him to star, Coppola saw his Italian blood, so he had the opportunity to star, but his acting skills are far from enough.
For the sake of the film's effect, Marlon Brando gave Pacino guidance.
Years later, Pacino recalled: Marlon Brando's acting skills were unfathomable, it was a genius, before watching his films, I had already started acting, and I would be proud to say that by the day I died, I was still imitating him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line">05</h1>
Unfortunately, the success of "The Godfather" did not change marlon Brando's life, although with this work, he became popular, and later filmed a classic like "The Last Tango in Paris", which made him pay off his debts and become amazing again.
But Marlon Brando's debt of youth came to him in his later years.
In 1990, he clashed with his eldest son, Christian, born to his first wife, with the boyfriend of his half-sister Cheyenne at the estate, and then with the sound of a gunshot, Christian committed murder and was imprisoned for ten years.
Prior to this, Christian was one of Marlon Brando's most important sons, and Marlon Brando spent more than $100 million to help his son exonerate him, but to no avail.
However, Marlon Brando's debt to the wind is far from being repaid.
Shortly after Christian was imprisoned, Cheyenne was still haunted when crossing the street because she missed her boyfriend, and had a traffic accident and lay in bed for a long time.
In 1995, at the age of 25, Cheyenne became depressed and chose to hang herself.
For the death of his daughter, Marlon Brando did not say too much, not unwillingly, but could not: in his later years, Marlon Brando was plagued by illness, and in order to alleviate the pain, he became obsessed with sweets, once grew to 190 kilograms, in order to lose weight, he almost died in Huangquan.
How dashing Marlon Brando was in his youth, how lonely he was in his later years.
Although he had three wives, dozens of lovers, and children and illegitimate children that even he could not count, Marlon Brando was empty in his later years.
At 6:20 a.m. on July 1, 2004, Marlon Brando, a godfather of the first generation, fixed his time on that moment forever.
