In 1954, "The Docks" was released, and Marlon Brando also won the 27th Academy Award for Best Actor for this film.
At that time, he was in the limelight, acting in what fire, not as deep as "The Godfather".
In the same year, a movie starring Marlon Brando was also released, and the plot alone cannot be compared with those classic films, and the simple and straightforward plot is even easy to make people fall asleep.
But even so, this movie was popular all over the world at that time, and now it seems that this movie is still a classic, and even became a god in the hearts of countless motorcycle enthusiasts.
The film is about the story of the motorcycle party, even if the motorcycle only plays a role in the whole movie, but the image of Marlon Brando riding a motorcycle in the film was popular all over the world at that time.
The film is called The Wild One in English, and if it is directly translated, it should be redone as "Wild One", but in China, the film has a more direct name - "Biker Party".
If you look at it from the perspective of people now, this movie is nothing more than a handsome man posing all the way, with the vase actress staging a cliché story of "sadness and joy".
But because of the blessing of the locomotive, the film itself has added some subcultural elements, and it is these subcultural elements that make this film an eternal classic.
Simply speaking of the plot of the movie, there is really nothing remarkable:
A group of motorcycle parties led by John Marlon Brando (later called Marlon Brando) played by Marlon Brando happened to encounter a motorcycle race while passing through a small town, and they made a big fuss about the race, and then stole the second-place trophy from the arena.
After arriving in town, Marlon Brando regarded the trophy as his spiritual sustenance and staged a story that made people laugh.
The protagonist places the trophy on the head of the motorcycle
The Locomotive Party Gate had planned to take a break in the town and continue on its way, but all this was disrupted after Marlon Brando entered the town bar.
He fell in love with the waitresses in the bar, so the town, which was originally intended to be a place to stay, became a temporary place for the group of motorcycle youths, who went to the bar every night and clashed with the townspeople.
The waitress's father, a policeman, initially had a natural affinity for Marlon Brando, but Marlon Brando said he hated the police, and there was a gap between several people who came and went.
This life lasted for a few days, until Marlon Brando's former friend, now rival (name forgotten) Bearded arrived and changed.
The two fight in the street, after which bearded man was taken away by the police, while the others still lived a life of spending time and drinking.
I don't know how long this life lasted, until one day the young locomotive came into conflict with the people of the town, and this time the townspeople remembered the vendetta, and they pointed the finger at Marlon Brando, because he was the leader of the group.
Once when the locomotive youth flirted with the waitress, Marlon Brando heroically rescued him, but the townspeople believed that he was flirting with the women of the good family, so the people rushed to arrest him and teach him a lesson.
At the end of the story, Marlon Brando left the town on his triumphant locomotive, coming in groups of three or five, but he was the only one who was alone when he left.
And the story of him and the girl has no ending, the encounter may be only a moment, or perhaps because he is a biker party, so the two are doomed to not be together.
Everyone understands it differently and has a different view of the outcome. The story is also an open-ended ending, which has become one of the few "golden strokes" in this film.
The whole film is basically centered on the elements of rebellion, song and dance, and alcohol, and from the beginning to the end, the audience sees the motorcycle party drinking and dancing in the bar, Marlon Brando and people fighting, and young people smashing and robbing in the town.
And there is also an interesting point in the movie - in addition to the protagonist, the image of the other characters is ugly and obscene, I don't know if it is deliberately arranged by the director.
On the contrary, several beautiful women in the play have become attractive places in the film this time, perhaps the movie itself tells the love story between handsome men and beautiful women!
Whether it is marlon brando's "ex-girlfriend" who has a relationship with Marlon Brando or her heart-set bar waiter, she has a proud figure and an angelic face.
With beautiful women, what motorcycle do you want?
In fact, after watching this movie, my first reaction is that if the plot is reversed, will it become an inspirational drama that promotes positive energy?
(The following plot is my imagination)
In a quiet and peaceful town, the residents live a simple and industrious life, this is a group of heinous motorcycle parties broke into the town, they flirt with women, for wrongdoing, the good residents of the town also dare not speak out against them.
In the end, after the townspeople experienced several failed struggles with the Biker Party, they united as one, used their wisdom and strength to arrest the leader of the Biker Party, and rescued the pure girl in the town from the Biker Party, and finally expelled these evil Biker Party.
If you act in this movie like this, I don't know if you can make this movie have the status it has today?
Although the whole movie tells the life of the motorcycle party, but the motorcycle in the play seems to play only a role in the play, in the film except for a few handsome motorcycle shots, there is almost no science for motorcycles, that is to say, if you do not understand motorcycles, after watching this movie, you still can't call the name of the motorcycle that appears in the film.
Even if the motorcycle is changed to an off-road vehicle, the plot can still develop normally, and it has little impact on the film.
But people only remember the motorcycle in the film, and Marlon Brando's handsome leather jacket jeans. Even if you open any search engine now and search for Marlon Brando, there will be a dashing poster of him wearing a navy hat, wearing a leather jacket, riding on a motorcycle.
Think about it, people who understand will naturally understand, people who don't understand say it in vain, you just need to think he is very handsome after watching this movie, as for what car the protagonist rides, what is the harm in knowing and not knowing?
I heard that Takuya Kimura's influence on fashion culture in Japan is very huge, and the clothes he wears, the bags he uses, and even the lipstick he endorses have become popular items, but if he meets Marlon Brando, it is estimated that he will have to call him a master.
After the release of this movie that year, black motorcycle leather jackets and white T-shirts became the fashionable styles that swept the world in those years, and young people who like fashion rushed to follow suit, which also made the brand of Triumph a household name.
This, the film "Quadruple Personality", which also uses motorcycles as the theme and tells about the Mord people, has also done it.
Fashion is often reincarnated in this way, and nowadays motorcycles are no longer a subcultural phenomenon, as long as everyone wants to have their own motorcycle.
Today's motorcycles are diverse, and today's movies are just as well-made, but in the hearts of many motorcycle players, the movie is still a classic. Perhaps compared to the plot, the rebellious spirit expressed in the film was what young people worshipped at that time.
There are many reasons why a film can become a classic, not even necessarily by the plot, such as the flawed plot and embarrassing acting skills in this movie, which cannot hide marlon Brando's handsome aura of riding a motorcycle and wearing a leather jacket.
