Marlon Brando was a renaissance man. People who were close to him all know that he was well-versed with almost every subject and his intellectual curiosity was unbounded. He was an avid reader of all subjects. He was also an acute observer of people and life, which explains why he was such a fantastic actor. He didn't need to pretend to be an intellectual he was.
Brando is the one person I would have wanted to meet and have a conversation with. It may have been difficult or easy but it would have been fascinating.
I thoroughly agree - Marlon was a great human being: should NEVER be forgotten. He stood out then and will continue to do so. He will be remembered mostly as a genius at acting, but, for me, he should be remembered for his COURAGE.
Quality of Thought; Articulateness; Subtle Wit. These qualities used to be on TV when I was growing up. Where has it gone, why has it gone, and can it ever return?
I enjoyed this interview very much and isn't Marlon Brando's smile just lovely, he would have been great company on a one on one....he has a twinkle in his eyes that cannot be overlooked
Brando is 100% right. Cavett tried to combine entertainment with real issues. A number of interviewers in that time did - Tom Snyder, David Frost, Davis Susskind,.... Forty years later you can't find anyone on television that is allowed to do this.
James Xenophon I'm not a big fan of Charlie Rose. He always asks the question and then tries to answer it himself. lol BUT - I do agree with you - he's about all that's out there. Others I could name don't have his intellect. I did watch Charlie Rose the other day with Bernie Sanders and I thought Rose did a great job. That was one of the best interviews that I've seen in a long time.
+James Xenophon Charlie Rose is similar in form but he is anything but counter-hegemonic in his approach. There was much more of a tendency of counter-hegemony in the work of Frost and Cavett, but then corporate owners of media were at a loss in those days because social movements were having such an influence that there was money to be made off it. I work in public radio, and the "public" broadcasting sector - now very much privatized - is no less immune to such influences than is the private sector. So what we have are hosts such as John Stewart and Steven Colbert who engage in entertainment to make their points. They are ironically the Cavetts and Frosts of today.
Brando is being so openly and candidly subversive towards the media agenda that Dick Cavett is part of, yet to empower his act of sabotage, Brando plays sympathetic to Cavett's predicament of having him as a guest on his show. Hilarious!!!
I would argue that Brando's honesty is subversive in and of itself, and when he discusses Cavett's ability to juggle audience expectation and personal obligation as being impressive, he means it. The fact of the matter is subversive activism like this is not readily publicized, on television or in print. Brando chose to appear on Cavett's show because he understood the necessary trade-off. There is no publicity without advertisement. Whether you like it or not, ads pay for air time. That is as true today as it was then.
Marlon Brando was one of the greatest actors and activists we have seen since the 60's and we need him more than ever now. Mr. Brando was a real human being who had compassion for all people and helped the Native Americans. He boycotted the 1973 Oscars and allowed Sacheen Littlefeather to speak on his behalf while exposing the bad treatment of American Indians in the Movie Industry.Marlon Brando was much more intelligent than his scripts allowed him and was pure Genius. What an interesting life he had and history he left us. Research Marlon Brando. God Bless him! See other interviews by Larry King as well. (Movies: Mutiny of the Bounty, Sayonara, Missouri Breaks, Godfather, etc.. are just a few of his greats)
John Drake: Back then, 1973, when he didn't show up for the Oscar, I don't know, it may have been more effective had he been there to speak instead of sending the woman to do so on his behalf. The woman couldn't even get the words out before being booed off the stage. I watched those Oscars and it appeared arrogant of him to do it that way as if he left her out on a limb.
@@judyweeks1480 the funny thing to me us you had Wayne playing a asian warlord. I think Burt lancaster played a indian. Paul Newman same. At this time in our history people have been made to feel threatened by anyone of color. They claim its OUR country. Yet usa was started by people who were repressed by religion and class . Then we come and do to the natives what we left europe for. One person who stoked the fire for last 7 years. His family has only been in US for 120 years. I bet 70% of blacks in this country can date their ancestors back 200 years.
@@AskMeddi Geniuses rarely if ever come without major flaws that often originate from deep scars or trauma. That's the same place their genius comes from. This is true on artists especially. But Brando wasn't a cold monster, he had a lot of shades. I think he was a sensitive man at the core and wasn't devoid of empathy.
I wasn't alive during this show, but i watch it on here all the time and it makes me wonder where great tv went. Letterman was the last of them and now it's over.
+gregg mikulla Letterman's approach was much more... 'keep it moving' and 'keep it bubbly' than Dick Cavett's approach. But admittedly these were different times. TV today has got soooo very shallow, to the point of absolute absurdity. And unfortunately it's a direct reflection of the hollow and intellectually dumbed down times in which we live.
Yelling Elk IQ I agree they’re different kinds of shows, but I was essentially saying that the last of them is gone. Now we have a group of political hacks and Colbert is the worst, and most unfunny of all of them
Marlon is just so great looking. His praise for Dick Cavett is genuine because he has no reason to fake it.Cavett is unlike most interviewers. He's very good, but he's very good at implying that he's not good enough for his guest.He is.
Marlon Brando is on another level...the man could read a Chinese menu and make it sound EPIC!!!Everything he says is just amazing...there will never be another!
Marlon Brando was always way ahead of his time. He was so down to earth & had Integrity in Spades. He should have be Cloned. We absolutely 💯 need more of him in the world. He was so Iconic.
Exactly--Brando was profoundly perceptive and honest as the day is long. It's touching watching him do his best to communicate what he knows is true to people whose minds haven't been opened before. He was real, whole, and deeply compasssionate, tho frustrated with the force of the lies most people are in a trance with. He was awake and alive when so many people live life in a fearful coma.
7:34 I love this part, when Cavett sizes up Brando like he's about to get frisky, then Brando looks at him with that smile and I imagine him thinkin', "I'll bus' you open like a god damn watermelon".
Totally agreed. Anyone could be such a good actor like Brando requiring innate intelligence and sensitivity to comprehend human conditions and to inhabit in the various characters. Brando was well-read, with an appetite for life and for freedom. An unique personality and compassionate human being.
A little too demago when it comes to blacks unfortunately but all right as well😘🙋😺if he was blonde with blue eyes he would beware of them!😗😿👹indians mission that makes it some else dimension😉💜he should have sticked to this mainly you can't speak like a communist really😦Marlon was much better I hope😑👻😾
What A Look ! What Smile ! God Bless You, Marlon ! - the greatest actor ever, the most handsome actor of the World, very intelligent, very generous, sensitive soul, kind-hearted. I Like Him most in Last Tango in Paris, Burn !, Reflections in a Golden Eye and all other. Thanks for posting !
im not sure iv seen any of his films so i don't know how well he acted.. this interview was just before my time, i watched the full interview and i saw a real person with real concerns, i think its great when a good character with fame on his side stands up and has the balls to speak the truth and educate and spread awareness. i sense the scripted fictional characters he played bear no resemblance to the real marlon brando...
now im jealous, you didnt seen any Brando movies? well sir, you have the oportunity to discover it as i did 20years ago, to discover the work of the best actor ever
This entire interview is great. Marlon Brando is so we'll spoken, coming from someone who was not alive then or even close to it. We are still dealing with these issues today so it is great to see someone of his status spreading intelligent ideas.
the interview really picks up during this section - highly amusing yet subtle banter, plus some clever insight from Brando regarding the "acting" that all of us are required to engage in on a daily basis
OMG what a presence but in such a quiet humble way. Also an early activist. So articulate. I agree with him on almost everything he said except he is a great actor and what he did was an art. I like him better because he was so humble about it. Also damn he was beautiful that smile and those dimples. The burning gaze. Again DAMN. Takes a lady's breathe.
Pablum for the masses, ie: serialized, vapid trending, trivialized media control, voluntary surrender to big data of personal privacy in exchange for commodified, banal gratification. A weak new world indeed. There are genuine, refreshing individuals among the herd tho. Take over from the Brando's of history. "Her stories" too...
What an interesting person. The way he talks about certain stuff makes it possible to have a deep but still fun conversation, seems pretty easy to get along and trust him. And the slightest facial expression of him totally draws you in. No wonder so many people and a lot of good actors look up to him
He was such a smart man. His words about acting … “… it’s a survival mechanism … it’s a such a social unguent, a lubricant, and we act to save our lives every day …” This is so true, in fact. We all act, every day.
I wish I spoke as slowly and cautiously as Marlon: the way he speaks is so thoughtful that it makes me want to catch every word he says. I can imagine him having a really dark sense of humour to the point that you wouldn't be able to tell if he was joking until he gave that cheeky smile...*swoon* PS. Like at 07:47!
I like Brando's combination of high and low fashion (denim jacket, scarf, dress slacks, shined shoes) in his choice to visit Cavett's show. He looked relaxed and it's definitely conveyed through his choice of topic, words and tone during the interview.
WOW! imagine this in 1973, Brando is a very interesting guy, they ended up painting him as a weirdo, but he is clearly a deep thinker. Very courageous. He has been reported to have flaws, but we all are human and make mistakes. At least he tried to do something!
This comment is for all parts of the show. Marlon Brando is so talented that he doesn't need much work to get what he is intended to do.He is a little arrogant,but it's because he knows how good he is. He slowly starts to be a host instead guest and that's the thing i pointed in upper lines of comment.Thank you Marlon for everything,rest in peace.
Marlon Brando was such a human rights activist. He was completely focus on his activisms until the day he died. These interviewers didn't understand Brando at all. Brando was an human rights activist to the core before he became actor. Hollywood was just a money machine for Brando to support his activism. In this case my native American Indians. He's extremely handsome, intelligent, and adorable hustler! Kudos to David Cavette on giving Brando a platform. You don't see these type of interviewers anymore.
I see a lot of signs of depression in Brando. He is very deep in thought, but despite his analytical mind Brando is visibly suffering from depression. Brando carried a lot of pain, that's why he was so empathetic towards other people's suffering. Later in his life he became obese by using food for comfort. I admire his acting a lot, but if there was something to polish I would polish his repressed voice.
I saw & felt the chemistry between these two, I would go as far as to say that Brando was coming on to Cavett. On another note, Kudos to Cavett for going against mainstream America in educating all the men in shorts holding beers.
Don't know why you say that. I've watched a number of Brando interviews, and I think he is extraorinarily articulate. He has a wonderful command of language, is knowledgeable on a wide array of topics, has a playful intellect. A pleasure to listen to.
He said at the beginning that he's tired and jet-lagged. It shows his commitment to his beliefs that he did this shows at all. You know, he was a huge star back then and wasn't selling a movie here or a book, as most big stars do when they go onto these shows. He's doing it out of his empathy for his fellow Americans, particularly the native Americans. It's a very admirable stand and a very genuine sign of his humanity
Marlon Brando was a renaissance man. People who were close to him all know that he was well-versed with almost every subject and his intellectual curiosity was unbounded. He was an avid reader of all subjects. He was also an acute observer of people and life, which explains why he was such a fantastic actor. He didn't need to pretend to be an intellectual he was.
Fascinating guy. Straight shooter. He's not trying to impress anyone - good for him.
Yes. Genuine
Are you kidding me? This guy is the most corny fucker I ever seen. Yet, I fucking love him.
No there was nothing "cool" in his appearance. Only truth.
That's what is also so attractive and charming about him
His voice is so soft I could literally fall asleep to it :)
tara pham I did lol
Hes an artist. Sensative
Brando is the one person I would have wanted to meet and have a conversation with. It may have been difficult or easy but it would have been fascinating.

Beautiful eyes!
that marlon brando smile tho
+theryaner almost makes me gism. Yep. it does did.
Pretty handsome and hot
This entire conversation is fucking wonderful, the wryness and duplicity of the actual conversation amidst the levels of implication....just wonderful
"You incite frankness." That speaks so much about Brando and his acting and him as a soul.
Brando is 100% right. Cavett tried to combine entertainment with real issues. A number of interviewers in that time did - Tom Snyder, David Frost, Davis Susskind,.... Forty years later you can't find anyone on television that is allowed to do this.

Brando was so truthful and humble; I can imagine that he worried a lot of people because he wouldn't maintain their lies for them.
Brando was one introspective thinker.....
Absolutely Genius
Jesus this is Brando at his best
the last four minutes of this are great...
Brilliant human!
That sexy calm confidence. His intelligence and smile. Imagine a night with Brando...wow!
There's nothing wasted about a life spent doing what makes you happy.

He seemed to feel very deeply about humanity - What an interesting man
Man o' man, what a smile on him
