Well, that were one idea about it; but Oil were in fact but one of 6 peaks in the American Financial System, the other 5 being Agriculture, Commerce (the Stockmarket), the Military, and its Allied Heavy Industry, Entertainment. Follow up on Big Money from out the pits and valleys of slums and common runs, and those are the 6 Mountains-of-Money peaks you will find, down which run the Currents of Fortune. [Also, simply because Money (may be/)is the driving motor of Civilisation, that does not necessarily imply that Profiteering is the gear box thereof.]
Many film fans hail the DeNiro/Pacino movie scenes as the greatest superstar actor pairings. There have been others - Tracy/March in Inherit The Wind, Caine/Connery in The Man Who Would Be King, Hackman/Washington in Crimson Tide. You can put this scene right at the top.
I wonder if that earpiece he has in this scene was a character choice,or so that he could get his lines fed to him as per his rumoured way of working...? Great relaxation. Legend.
Marlon Brando always had this “young presence” I can’t explain. Here it seems like he’s wearing a fat suit. I could never visually see him past the age of 30
You'all forgot to mention the most memorable line for me when these to "inquisitors" are standing at a hwy. Overpass watching the traffic, the oil goon says "there are no adversaries only customers. Well that's a deep subject! Steve

his argument was good for the logic behind why big oil HAS TO exist. But we can all agree, and imo strangely argue, oil companies should pay taxes like every other business on a reasonable f(x) = tax rate, and practice all business ethics(even for activity out of juristriction to penalized accordingly). Gas is what gets us around, where we go and what we do inside the law is the American Dream, but you still need gas. If they own the next fuels, I just dont care, everyone else would be the same.
I imagine Scott doing his first scene with Brando and thinking, "Good Lord - is that the voice he's going to be using in every scene? What have I gotten myself into?" 😳
Had a lot of promise on paper, Brando and Scott in the same film, and an interesting story very revelant at the time. Decent just not great. They had these Texaco commercials running at that time with Bob Hope, saying how gas was going to be made from coal coming in the near future. Then America became independent for energy and we had to give it up for mother Earth, while everyone else gets to produce away appearantly without any concern. It never fucking ends.
I don’t think I can improve on work George C Scott said. You’re not in the oil business you’re in the oil shortage business. If there isn’t relevant to what’s going on right now I don’t know what it is.
George C Scott could just dominate everything he was in. What a legend. Was the master of the violent erratic outburst years before Nicolas Cage..lol In this scene it’s Scott who has my attention, not Brando’s taking the piss performance. I think Brando is laughing from wherever he is as people laud performances where he probably was having a laugh and seeing how far he could push being absurd in certain projects. Especially after squeezing super high payday’s out of the studio (which I applaud him for. Make those fuckers pay). Lol
This whole film is about what happens in this downtown LA office (at rush hour, while you can see the real LA freeways clogged with miles of crawling traffic, burning...burning...oil... Skip the movie, but find and watch this whole scene between Scott and Brando, because it so lays bare the black heart and avaricious soul of Big Petroleum -- up against plain morality, ecological respect, and consequences contrary to quality of life over base profit... Watch it all...
I saw The Formula a decade ago, and my take away was that the entire movie gets nullified when a rich guy calls another rich guy and they make a deal. Such a subtle take on capitalism you'd be surprised it was decades old.
@wheelinthesky300 That's a fantastic answer. Thank you very much. There was something i just couldn't put my finger on what it was... isn't it strange how your OWN teeth can change the way you look... I'll leave you with that thought...
This is a great scene, but you cherry picked or just blew it, with the editing. As it stands, its pro oil. George C. Scott's detective character asks Brando's oil executive about (I am going from memory) other means, alternatives, etc. Brando says of course. Scott says why not USE them, or the like. Brando just says they will (when?)..."When the oil runs out". THEN, after Scott leaves, he calls some other fat cat turd, with regards to some inventor or scientist with an alternative answer, and gives him shares of whatever, tons of money, to SIT ON IT FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS or so. That is the REAL crux of the scene...not that we'd bust their fat asses and "kill the American Dream". As has been said, the only reason we aren't doing Solar is because the oil companies don't own the sun. Brando, FWIW, personally, was the antithesis of this ass he is playing, to tell a truth...one you either omitted in error or did so to paint some rosier picture for a Corporatocracy.
It was the formula to make synthetic fuel from coal, which the US has the most of any country in the world. George C Scott's character leaked the formula to a swiss businessman Tauber. But the Marlon Brando character calls Tauber at the end to bribe him into keeping the Formula secret until natural oil runs out because then the formula will be worth a lot more than today (1980) and they will both make a fortune with it when oil runs out.
And then I might add that the formula had initially been recovered from the Nazis by the US Army in 1945, when a nazi general used it as a bargaining tool to escape.
And the fact Brando is convincingly playing the antitesis of himself here is what makes him the actor he is. Marlon Brando was, in fact, a pioneer in conservationism, a champion of environment. One of the reasons he bought an island in the Polynesia back in the 1960's was to preserve its stunning ecosystems, i.e.; Flora, wildlife, and waters. Of course, there was also more personal reasons to buy the island in the first place, since his wife at the time, who he met in the set of "The Bounty", was a native Tahitian herself.

his worst is far better than the best acting of the majority of actors. I think the Razzie was more for the film than the acting, a terrible film gets nominations for every category.
A fascinating choice for Brando to speak in a manner in which no human being has ever spoken before.
And yet it's believable.

Brando as Dick Cheney. He should get an award for a spot on revelation.

The exact quote was "money, not morality, is the principal of commerce and commercial nations." 1810, to be exact.
Every time I hear George C. Scott speak, I hear his Patton speech in my head.
For the movie that came out in 1980, completely sums the world we live in today
