Listen to Me Marlon is pointless.
One critic said it was "the greatest, most searching documentary of an actor ever put on film." Uh, let me guess...he doesn't
read books. All of the information herein has already been known for decades. Sure, there's a new footage here and there, most
especially the house he lived in, but really, to sit through this 103 minutes of nothing? I can do without the
digitalized image of his head.
At one point, the actor said he had nothing to do with the failure of
Mutiny on the Bounty. Wrong, apart from the
unpredictable weather, script issues, and the challenges of shooting in Tahiti, Brando was 100% the reason why. The movie ruined
his career and therefore his reputation. It took him a decade to rise from the dead when he did
The Godfather.
All in all, if you want to start somewhere, then I recommend you to check out the actor's autobiography
Songs My Mother Taught Me and Conversations with Brando by Lawrence Grobel which contain more
revealing information than Listen to Me Marlon.
