My grandpa is in this movie!! I am so happy to see this clip- He is the one who says " he's a square' don't you get this at all" Rock on Grandpa Charlie- you are on RU-vid!!!!
He said Brando was cool- he came over to my grandpas house alot- I even have a pic of Marlon Brando giving my dad a horsey ride on his back. He said Brando asked him specifically to include this part in the movie- I guess he liked it. He also was in Guys and Dolls with him. Charlie died a few years ago and it is nice to see this.
I'll explain ... When Johnny says, "What do you got?", he's basically saying that he'll rebel against anything. It's kind of like an invitation to give him something and he'll rebel against it.
as far as Brando's age and weight in this film, you have to understand this motorcycle club is not teenagers...these are men who served in WW 2, ten years earlier and are now bored factory workers of age 30 or more...
Well technically this takes place in 47 since it’s based of the hollister incident of that year but I get what your talking about ww2 vets needed something crazy to do and riding motorcycles was just that
Thanks decay 1966. I have shared your video with another channel because TheEndlessKurtis should meet his celebrity doppelganger. Hello, Kurtis. Hello, KurtisKids. Hello, Devin Brines.
The one scene where Brando (Johnny) is told to hit the road by the cop at the Dirt track racing, slightly after the beginning of the film. He puts his glasses on and takes his sweet time about it with a slight F U attitude. Essence of cool and rebel at the same time. He was perfect in that role.
johnny strabler is one of my favorite marlon brando characters. this movie is so fantastic!!!!!! i like the part when johnny kisses kathie... phenominal acting.
if someone has this film - the whole film please send me a mail, letter anything because my dad wants to see it so much or if someone knows a webpage where i could load it down... - it would be great! thanks
yeah you're right on that comment. I'm assuming you read that book on the real Boozefighters. That's a good one. It's funny how the media blew this situation all out of porportion. Turns out the boozefighters just had a good time drinking beers and having fun. Not creating chaos. Damn media would do anything for headlines. Even back then. NEway nice comment ...so true.
Gorra agree with the comments: Brando was too hot, for a big guy he had such a sweet face and voice! What makes him special are those "I don't give a damn" looks he spreads.. I love how he says "I have to straighten you out". thanks.
@Xx1TeamXxEdward1Xx What Kat You Don't Dig What Them Greasers Had To Say Back In Those Days Well If You Ain't Likin' The Score They Rockin' Out Then Youse Someone To Judge Ain't Ya!i!i Besides They Still Use Those Phrase Man, I Mean Its Way Hipper Then Gangsta', Walk It Out, Biatch, Bro =]
Jazz was probably used because it had been associated with "deviant behavior." I have seen the jazz musician branded as deviant by a 1960s sociology textbook. Charlie Parker's problems with heroin were well known by the public.
Take it easy. evilchynette just made a simple comment that's all. Didn't mean anything by it. Just enjoy the clip. Plus i read " Songs my mother taught me" Brando biography. In it,he makes a couple of cracks about his speech, too, as well as james dean's seeing they had the same slurred speech time to time. Chill out.
The local biker bar would carve these "cream puffs" up and flip their remains in the dust bin. Nothing like big band bozos raisin' cane with the rubes in this flick. Pure corn with plenty of grease on the side.
He's great here but I love him most in "A Streetcar Named Desire" they should show that to all wanna be hunks: ) He's just 300% sex-appeal, I think T.Williams was excited, too.. lol.
Hold on there, downparka00! Let me get this straight,...you're gay and you think REAL bikers don't dance. Well, I know for a fact that there are Gay bikers. So if a Gay man can be a Biker,... why can't a straight Biker dance?? Why can't a Gay Biker and Straight Biker dance together? Look, if you want to have your fantasy as Brando being Gay, that's cool. But please don't be a person who sets standards or a generally approved model. Those models can become so boring :)
he's hardly even porky, and he's in his mid 20s. Mind you that this generation of outlaw bikers were war vets coming home from Europe and the Pacific theater, so they weren't all teenagers. If the younger ones faugh in atleast 1945 (the last year of world war two) that would have been eight years latter which is where this film takes place.
