I love these older movies, because it gives me a flavor of yesterday's moral structures, and an extensive word power our society has lost!!!¡!¡¡!!
This movie is enthralling.
@@Johannes-lw5kr Total concurrence!
CG seems to be the smoke and mirrors to hide POOR dismal SCRIPT WRITING!
Oh by the way fellow citizen of Earth: many blessings and may FREE WILL be your treasure!
Absolute classic!
I totally agree about the old films. But, I lived my whole life with those social mores, civility, no confusion on what’s right and wrong and acceptable/unacceptable for our culture. Makes me very nostalgic for times when we knew what’s what. And bratty 10 year olds didn’t run the household.
Right!
The days MOTHERS asked their children, "What do YOU WANT TO EAT." Was the day society suffered a child mentality!!!
Now: it's beyond childish,
into plain straight down INSANITY!!!

About 47 minutes in. Brando is so believable in this role, weird, all these years, and I never saw this brilliant film. Thanks for posting!
I have always been told all my taste is in my mouth. Although I was captivated by the story I found (find) Brando to be a heavy handed character in all his roles. He does way too much "Acting" if uyou know what I mean. Even in "Viva Zapata" all I could here metaphysically was "I'm so pretty." I try imagine Bogart in those roles. can you see how much better that would be? No wish to offend here so if u are then just shut the hell up
This may be an old good film but if you listen to what the story is imparting, the relevance is so close to what Col. Douglas Macgregor has been been saying. Even Major Ritter's assessment of the current events is themed in this movie.
Watch this film and see why Marlon Brando's role captures the American system.. dragging everyone down because no one wants to admit their misreading of a "country's" aspirations.
Most of this is actually a true story. And happened in Thailand. The american goal was two folded: a) open up the country for deforesting the tropic forest. Run by american companies of course, and have a highway to transport the wood down to the harbours. b) be able to deploy tanks and other weaponry quickly to the north of Thailand to the Chinese border.
The result? The king realized that bullshit, survived the assassination attempts, reduced american influence to airbases - which later got used in the vietnam war, declared most forests to natural sanctuaries, and: forbid foreigners to own land. It is complicated (or was, now there are intentional loop holes) to found companies for foreigners. And as a side note: with varying degree that happened all over south east asia, as no one who survived the Portuguese, French colonization attempts, and the Japanese occupation did want to exchange that for American dominance.
Vietnam and Korea: America tried to bomb into the stone age. After fucking up the freedom movement in Vietnam, which was mostly dirigated by the CIA. How was it possible that people thought it is a good idea, after we kicked out Japan, that France gets its "colony" back? Instead of releasing the country to itself? Same with Korea. Declaring as part of Japan, that was conquered in the north by Russia and in the South by Brits and Americans. What was so freaking difficult in saying: we liberated Korea from Japan occupation and now it is own country?
And then the Americans did one of the most horrible things: they established an military dictatorship in the Philippines. Which lasted nearly 50 years. And supported it against every democratic movement that wanted democracy.
@@angeloschneider4272 The US supported the slaughter of Indonesian communist party members, and helped the local dictator Suharto! You missed it!
@@internetcensure5849 I will read up on that. Thanks for the hint!
Brando was such a handsome young man and great actor throughout his career.
He was ,but kinda Sissy fide some. and turned into Gluten? sad!
Never liked Brando. The critics were right: He does mumble. Imagine Val Kilmer in this role. There is an actor.
@@davidb2206 Pearls before swine. And you certainly are not a pearl...
@@DrAgan_tortojed Mumble much? Nothing removes that impediment. I know a pearl, when it doesn't mumble (on screen).
@@davidb2206 What you refer to is just the part of his "self", just the way he is, one of his "specifics". Many other great actors have (had) theirs - some of these use(d) "swallow" certain letters, some use(d) to speak on the verge of recognition... Think of Humphrey Boggart, Edward G. Robinson... To the difference from kings of "articulate speaking", actors like Vincent Price, Charles Laughton, David Warner, John Hurt, Audrie Hepburn...
Very satisfying to see a movie which you’ve never seen before, especially one starring, without doubt, the worlds greatest actor. Every gesture and movement which comes from Brando, from a simple twitch of an eyebrow, to a full-blown heated angry statement, seems effortlessly choreographed to perfection making him totally unique! IF anyone wanted to really see the young Godfather, Don Vito Corleone, he is unmistakably here in this movie.
The mustache makes Marlon look like a young Vito Corleone.
Apart from the convincing crowd scenes and the obvious political narrative, it's Brando, simply Brando. Apart from his screen-presence, it is the fascination with his left-side facial profile. It is both striking and powerful. No wonder it featured so often!
Another masterpiece of Marlon brando!!! Both left vs right arguments really incredible
Living and working in Siam since 1985 ... first time seeing this movie.
This story dates from the 1958 novel. I was surprised that an American author would have written such a pessimistic view of the foreign policy so early on, and I hadn't been aware that Americans were active on the ground that soon after the french were evicted. Considering how things eventually turned out, that book must be quite something.
I believe it is considered superior to the movie.
Nothing new, its a military model used since antiquity, read the old testment of the bible and hindu texts as well as Roman history all exactly. Greed has no bounds.
My history teacher assigned the book while Nixon was in the middle of expanding the war into Cambodia and Laos. The book made a huge impact on me, because it was ridiculously clear that people realized more than a decade earlier that this was a war we could have avoided if we had a quality diplomatic corps that spoke more languages and understood the importance of culture. But it seems that we are painfully slow learners. At least in Afghanistan, for 20 years women could work and girls could go to school and complete their education for a career, not stopping at 6th grade. But then the pumpkin headed grifter signed a surrender agreement with known terrorists, and another tragic ending..... Anyway, please look for the book. It is definitely better than the movie. 🗽🌎🗽
The novel _The Ugly American_ by Burdick and Lederer was first published on June 19, 1958 and what applied 65 years ago still applies.
This book, and 'War is a Racket' by Maj-Gen Smedley Butler, should be required reading for every American high-school Social Studies class.
This movie is very profound. I first saw it in junior high class in the early 1970s. Now i am in my 60s.
The book is much better. I haven't read it in a very long time, but I remember it made a huge impact, and I still have it on my book shelf.
I admit I have only seen the movie a few times but never read the book. I will look for it. Thanks for your comment. @@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288
My 9th grade history teacher showed his class this film.
It was for the section on American Foreign Policy post WW2..
He also played us The Mouse that Roared.
The man had a sense of humour.
This film was vaguely based on a novel written in 1958. It was a critique of American Foreign Policy and the US State Department in the 1950s. The novel was unironically very influential in terms of the policy the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations adopted in South Vietnam. The "hearts and minds" policies of the Vietnam War era were a direct reaction to "the ugly american".
Yes, and the book was much better.
It's scary how up to date this is. I guess because American foreign policy never changes.
Just us, right? The US is always The Bad Guy? Grow up, snowflake.
@@leelarson107 WOW ... I could say "It takes one to know one" but that's too easy. The point @tdirtyatl made was very valad. If he would have included CIA/MOSSAD before American foreign policy would that have untriggered You ?
@tdirtyati ... I was only a teen when this film came out but understood the World Hated Americans because of their Zion Run Government ... to say it's gone from "Ugly" to Hated" would be an understatement. Now in my 70's I don't see the World's perception improving.
@@leelarson107 US swine is the leader in foreign aggression. Nothing comes close. YOU, grow up from your high school years.
Amazing that the novel was written and this movie filmed before we got heavily involved in Vietnam. It's proof positive that there actually were people around that could see reality for what it was, and not give in to hysteria and fear.
Or than it was all a theatre
Like LBJ all the way crowd in 64'.
The movie/novel deeply influenced Kennedy and Johnson policy on Vietnam. It encouraged the policies that led to heavy involvement in Vietnam. It was the whole basis for the "hearts and minds" campaign in Vietnam. And the assassination of Diem in South Vietnam.
@@Jim-Tuner Encouraged the policies? This movie makes the point that the goals of the revolutionaries were nationalistic, not communistic, just as was the case in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh actually worked with the allies in WW 2, and approached the US after the war for help in gaining independence from France, and was rebuffed. Ho's original goal was a US type constitution, and later turned to other powers in order to fight off France and the US. In the 50's after the defeat at Dien Bien Phu, we agreed with a UN resolution that an all-Vietnam election would take place - then did our best to make sure it didn't happen. If Kennedy and Johnson were influenced by the novel and movie, that influence had nothing to do with the point being made in them. My comment above is that the writers knew before we got involved that Vietnam was not about globalized communism, it was about Vietnamese nationalism. It seems odd that Kennedy and Johnson would be influenced by either missing the point of the movie, or actively taking the opposite view in response to it.
@@stevebrooks4th about the puppet ho chi min ,mason 33° of the french brotherhood, ped ophil ic hom osexual , financed by London and EEUU ,Is not curious for you? It means nothing to you .the comunism was fabricated by London to keep the huge Asian mass outside the consumer system and keep the market captive .the division of the world in two blocks one capitalist religious democratic and other a dictatorship atheist communist was determinated in 1873 ,that's why they made the hoax of the atomic bombs in Japan or everywhere,there is not atomic bomb in the real world but in Hollywood.was the city of London and wall street who made possible the comunism .the comunist leaders are employees of london .
Ah Marlon Brando. One of the most handsomest Hollywood actors and acting to boot!! So natural
Brando was superb. Very convincing. Very well executed. Surprise with what transpired. All actors did an excellent job. Excellent movie. TU for presenting.
You have no standards, do you? Marlon Brando???? Fraaalf.
Brando is amazing in this role!
For me it was his best
I love Marlon so much❤
M. Brando is the greatest actor Ever.
It's easy to imagine Mac morphing into Colonel Kurtz in "Apocalypse Now."
"The horror! The horror!"
60 years later and nothing changes 😵💫😵💫😵💫
That's not true some of us are changing. We Are Spiritual truthers and and take a lot of s*** from people who don't know anything. People are afraid to know the truth. They better start waking up!
Worse now.
That's right, Brando still stinks.
Try to read the book; so much better.
This film is a slow burner. I kept watching because it starred Marlon Brando and I’m so glad I did . It’s getting so good now. And only 1/2 way through.
The book is SO much better.
This movie mirrored America's confusion between Nationalists and Communists; BOTH SEEKING/FIGHTING FOR INDEPENDENCE "BUT" FOR DIFFERENT CAUSES. I vividly remember how Vietnamese VIETMINH/NATIONALISTS, fighting against the Japanese World War II occupation, were ALSO simply anti-colonialists against the French colonial plantation owners who (FRENCH) using the "EUROPEAN" MARSHALL PLAN to reclaim Vietnam as their colony, the Vietnamese fought back; America was caught in between. When America broken it's World War II promise offered by Roosevelt, (U.S. administrative changes and FDR's death), to the VIETNAMESE NATIONALISTS, who helped the American submarines with intelligence to sink Japanese oil tankers in World War II, all hell broke loose (U.S involvement in the war, hence the later SECOND VIETNAMESE WAR as we know today.). Those Vietminh who would did NOT accept new American action against the French went over to the Communists hence the "VIETCONG/VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS"
Eisenhower, whom I admire without reservation, was wrong in his assessment of the "domino theory" precisely because he did Not understand that nationalists were Not always communists.
The Communists betrayed the Nationalists to the French which purged the nationalists from the Vietminh making them in charge of North Vietnam in 1954.
I would agree with you except that in the film, the Communists were already there, sabotaging the road, poisoning the mind of Brando's pal (he was the one who was confused) and threatening villages. The Americans should have stood their ground but done it in ways that had a more immediate benefit to the peoples' way of life. Building a new hospital was a good idea, among other things (like schools and helping the people feed themselves), and having a military presence to keep the Communists from gaining a foothold was necessary, but it needed to be done intelligently and with respect for the people. Interestingly, Marxism has changed a lot since that movie was made. From the 60s on, its leaders took their cues from the Frankfurt School to transform Soviet-style methods into insidious cultural Marxist techniques which created the "wokism" that's taken over Western media, governments and many institutions.
Truman was the big problem there , he could have stopped it from happening if he had said no to the French and yes to Hi Chi Minh . It is more complicated than that , but Eisenhower was already backed into a corner on Vietnam , and Trumann never gets blamed .
@@serenity5755 That is a superb analysis.
The book was brilliant. The movie was very well done.
As I watch this Horror Show, I see the same thing, over and over, again and again, all over the WORLD! Then and now! I told some one how war proves nothing, settles nothing, changes nothing! He disagreed and as far as I could tell, he was alluding to particular wars. Which briefly solved a petty issue, in the overall scheme of things. I'm speaking of the concept of WAR!!! My wife likes to say it's all testosterone, but we laugh. The fundamental problem is that we have not outgrown, nor can we control our LIZARD BRAINS!!!!! Db
War is fought mostly by males, so your wife is partially right. But many women fight too. One thing is sure: right or wrong, people in the prime of their lives (in their 20s) are ready to sacrifice themselves in what they believe to be worth dying for, a unique human trait. Glory to those heroic women and men!
I am Thai and I have heard the word "Sarkhan" (TH:สารขัณฑ์) since my childhood, I only knew it was fictional country and were used as ironic word for Thailand during old day.
I don't know where was it from until today, I finally got the to source of it. (The movie was also shot in Thailand, one of the prime minister character was also played by Thai and he actually became Thailand's PM after this movie! look in wiki for it) Crazy stuffs.
Even after this movie (1963) it is still having political unrest even today, Good job Sarkhan I guess. 😁
It's fascinating to watch a good actor cope with a bad one.
THIS IS A CLASSIC FILM. INTELLIGENT AND ENTERTAINING. WELL ACTED, WELL DIRECTED, EXCELLENT SCRIPT, GREAT CAST.
BRANDO IS TERRIFIC.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
easy on the caps brah
"well acted" - NO! That ambassador's acting is annoyingly bad

It was because of this movie and book that I went into the Peace Corps. 1964. I was one of Kennedi’s Kids. 2:41
One of the "Kennedy's Kids, admittedly an outgrowth of the Cold War," Darryl Norman Johnson became an Ambassador to Thaland between 2001-2004. I met him as an elementary school teacher way back in 1965; he returned to U Dub in Seattle to further his graduate studies.
1963 film. Love old movies, but wish for release date in description. Actors, directors, plus synopsis is great.
less is more?
SO GLAD I FINALLY WATCHED THIS MOVIE = GOD BLESS ALL THE PEOPLES-DEMOCRACY-FREEDOM ALL OVER THE WORLD. GOD BLESS AMERICA-
IT IS THE DECISIONS MADE IN WASHINGTON THAT ARE SO WRONG - WE THE PEOPLE ARE KEPT IN THE DARK - TRANSPARENCY - ??? SPEAKING THE TRUTH WHERE IS IT - PRAYING FOR ALL THE WORLD - PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TO ALL PEOPLE- MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HOPING IT WILL A GOOD YEAR 2024 FOR ALL PEOPLE
You look like a nut job using all Caps and your comments are even more revealing.
The greatest actor of all time Marlon Brando
are you gay?
@@gerhardrohne2261 THAT'S TELLING HIM! Brando was ugly, bisexual, and unhygienic. At least all of the women he was married to or connected with said so.
I knew Sarkhan is Thailand. I am Thai. On the other hand, the US is one of our good alliance. 190th years relationship.😊
I am in Koh Chang watching this movie now. I thought it might have been the Philippines until I read your comment. Thanks

@@Cyril_Squirrel I was only 15 minutes into the movie when I commented too
@@Cyril_Squirrel The United States built Mittrapab road(friendship road) in the northeast region. It is useful for Thai people.Thank you. The US. built the hospital in the north of Thailand(Mccormick hospital). That is true.
Ah, the man.. if anyone is as good as Brando it might be joachuin Phoenix ..great actors
Are you male or female? If you're female, you have incredibly poor taste. If you're male, you are incredibly perverted.
18:10 He does stand out have to admit 😮 greatest actor ever
I'm so glad that i found this movie 🔥 an Amazing Marlon Brando 🌟"cool" Classic Movie 🌹 and the book also 💯
Brando, what an incredible actor and person he was
apparently he was a real lazy fuck !
First to play in this film - then last to play in Apocalypse Now - Priceless !
He's #1 on the list of actors I can't stand. 💣
I'm a Brit and I'm reminded of Billy Joel's song 'We didn't start the fire'.
Actually, I'm thinking of "Good Night Saigon". 🎶🎵🎶
We never learn from History....that is why we believe the old lies spouted from new generations lips....who think that it is their new ideas...my heart saddenens....I still enjoy people and our wonderful GOD-given minds
That's the problem right there! Religion. Get rid of that and over half the wars will end forever. And I will be so glad not to have it shoved down my throat anymore! What an awful mess of bullshit it is.
Brando was interesting in this playing a conservative guy who realizes he was wrong about a lot of things.
Very timely film...with the downfall of many world leaders....and the downfall of the old America run by the same old crowd that ran Britain.
Boy, I used to get drunk with the Vietnamese on boxiday { rice whiskey } when i worked in the Delta. Good people.
Marlon Brando, a great actor!
He was excellent - best role I have seen him in .
This movie was released in 1963...watching this movie in 2024, the arguments sound identical today (left vs right) as it was in this movie. The struggle against communism and against, well, capitalism, goes on and on.
Read the book years ago. Thought it was far, far better than this film.
As did I.
I read it too. I haven't seen this movie yet, but 99.99% of all movies made from books are never anywhere near as good.
It's not possible to transfer all of the ideas in a book into a movie. It usually takes from 5 to 50 hours to read a book. No matter how hard they try, they can't fit all that info into a film 1.5 to 3 hours long.
They must eliminate parts that are descriptive of visual things, like scenery or clothing, the thoughts of characters, and other complex concepts. It's difficult to even squeeze in all of the action and dialogue, so of course it's not as good!
If you really need to do both things, you should see the movie BEFORE you read the book. If you really have to read the book first, like if you never knew there was going to be a film, you should never expect the movie to be even close to what the book was, because it just ain't gonna happen. If you really loved a book, I suggest you should never see the film. You'll only be greatly disappointed!
@@cattymajiv The movie "PATTON" is far better than his book. The original "MacArthur" (with Gregory Peck) is far better than Mac's own book. "THE DOWNFALL" is better than any two or three books you could read on the German side in WWII.
A film everyone should see.
watching Brando in these kinds of movies is like watching a major league ballplayer playing in a high school league.
Could you elaborate on that, please?
The very end with the TV was great.
Now and then Brando can put forth a pretty good performance - this film shows what not to do.
Vietnam before Vietnam….
Incredible movie …!!!!!
It is about Thailand, not Vietnam.
This film is a virtual documentary on Communist success and American failure throughout the Cold War, and ever after. But was totally unintended.
American failure in the Cold War ? How would you have fought it ? Pull 8 Divisions out of Germany when they built the wall in Berlin ? Leave Vietnam in 1964 ? I want to hear about this .
I understand your point, However, Communism is never a success for humanity.
'But was totally unintended'. Ha ha, the usual refrain after ever US interference in other countries' affairs. Graydon Carter, the Canadian journalist described the USA's interference in Iraq with 3 words: arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence: 'Our president and his administration were arrogant during the lead-up to the Iraq war in that they listened only to those who would tell them what they wanted to hear. They were ignorant in the lack of scholarship and due diligence they brought to the matter of how the invasion would be received by those being invaded. And they were incompetent at almost every level in the execution of the war and its aftermath.'
Communist successes….care to name some of those successes. The countries of Eastern Europe would strongly disagree.
People misinterpret the title as anti-American. It's not meant to be
Now this movie has a Mesage at the end all Americans need to heir!!! GOD Bless America!!!
Sarkhan was based on Thailand at the time it got dragged into Vietnam war with US "to repel the reds and vietcong" they say.
Kukrit Pramoj, A member of Thai Royal family played as Prime Minister of Sarkhan.
This movie struck the wrong tone with the US war propaganda of the early 60s so obviously all the critics hated the movie at the time because the movie tells the truth of the Vietnam war that no one in the US at the time want to admit.
Truth hurts and the US public clearly weren't ready to take it straight up.
The Ugly American flaunt his superiority everywhere he goes and don't know all the carnage and deaths he brings until it was too late.
Few months after Kukrit Pramoj himself became Thailand PM in his real life, he flew to Beijing and met with both Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai in late 1975, following the complete evacuation of GIs that year. American airbases on Thai soil used for the Vietrnam War operations were closed due to a huge protest in front of the US Embassy in Bangkok on March 9, 1976. However, the "Freedom Road" leading to these airbases (in Sarkhan) remains. Your point: "[T]he movie tells the truth of the Vietnam war that no one in the US at the time (1964) want to admit" is so true.
Which part of it told the "truth" about Vietnam? Let's discuss.
@@terriode Kukrit was relatively progressive. Thai border guards tried to storm his house in Bangkok at one point.
He and his brother (also a Prime Minister) did not last long heading the government. Thailand today is not as progressive as when was PM.

The moustache, the glasses, and the pipe can stay. **Just get rid of Brando.
Is it just me, or did Brando's performance seem less "infectious" in the second half than it did in the first?
I noticed that too. His acting didn’t hold up in the second half,
Very interesting movie and very well acted!
Brando was magnificent in this, as always, outstanding charisma.
Hardly anything else to be seen in the movie except his face
💣
Thanks for uploading 0ld movies.
I love Marlon Brando and this is a great movie with a great message .... Brando style! =) thanks 4 sharing!
I think I watched this movie when I was much younger. Maybe some 55/60 years ago. 1963. Knock-off for Viet Nam. 20 - Served 1971 to 1973. West Germany. US Army. Read the book some 35 years ago along with Street without Joy - Highway One (Viet Nam). Read and studied Much. Interesting perspective. The Tet Offensive devastated the Vietnamese Rebels in the South of Viet Nam. North Viet Nam (China & Russia) took over the Civil War from the North. Our government relished the development of how the young soldiers - Americans - of the Best Standing Army lost the "Conflict" in South Viet Nam.
I absolutely loved how the Ambassador tried to relay his message on the TV and the listener just shut the TV off. Great Movie. Watch. Thank you.
Our government leaders knew - Kennedy knew - that the policy in fighting this "Police Action" would be a failure. Americans paid for this 'Cover-Up'.
Dec.16, 2023. Russia is at it again. Ukraine and the West will lose to Putin if we don't smarten-up and support Ukraine. My thought. Thanks.
I understand your view, it is a common view that has been very effective in clouding the truth.
I would strongly suggest turning off the television and read some nonfiction on the subject of geopolitics. The book; 'The Jakarta Method" would be a good start. Cheers
The book made a huge impact on me (although I have not reread it for many years.). This movie, not so much. Was this movie released in 1963? There certainly are several references to Cuba, so it must be post 1960. I agree that the ending is excellent: turn off the TV I don't want to hear anymore. The emotional fatigue of the USA population has been an isolationist force too often in our history and in our present. I'll try to reread the book soon.
@@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288 It is not only the U.S, the whole western world has been bombarded with emotive nonsense. It began long ago and continues to this day.

The first two minutes and twenty seconds are missing.
Both Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot were nationalists and communists. The irony is that both were trained in the West. The irony of ironies is that Vietnam and Cambodia eventually fought each other.

@@KutWriteAre you refering to his grandfather ?
And the US supported the Cambodian side, it had fought earlier, deeming Vietnam a worse "enemy" than Cambodia, because of US defeat at the hands of Vietnamese.
Whatever your take about US foreign policy back then, Brando certainly gives his own interpretation of it in this film.
WOW! Right on! Thank you DDF!
I wonder, as a movie aficionado, how you manage to stage a riot of such magnitude and level of violence like the one depicted at the begining of this movie, without looking staged at all. Pretty impressive (and scaring) that scene at the airport.
This movie is very good and well acted.
Sarkan's Prime minister in this movie had later become to the thirteenth Prime minister of Thailand. (March 14 1975 - April 20 1976) His name was Major M.R. Kukrit Pramoj (พลตรี หม่อมราชวงศ์คึกฤทธิ์ ปราโมช)
52:20 pretty elaborate set up for a shouting match - sounds like a proxy for "US out of Vietnam"
I was thinking the same thing. It's a parody of the Vietnam war. Using the fictional country of Sarkan as a scapegoat for what happened in the real Vietnam.

Marlon Brando as 'The Ugly American'???? Now, THAT is real 'type-casting'!!💣💣💣💣💣💣
The beginning of the movie is missing; no credits or film title, it just begins abruptly with the truck sabotage scene at the Freedom Road excavation 33:41
I just HATE THAT. I hope they don't also cut off the end credits as some do. I've been told they do it because of copyright, but that's ridiculous and it doesn't make a bit of difference.
I know its a movie but is shows how americans always think the have to “ save” other people or countries!
Whats wrong with them?
The reason America intervened was because of Communism. They attack weak countries and take them over. America never took over countries like the British did.
Nothing wrong ...........only the dollar rules .......the never ending war by the US corporate ..........ever since until it's dollar dies !
Hi
THERE WAS A VERY REAL ‘SAVING’ GOING ON POST WW 2 IN GERMANY ! WEST BERLIN DEFINITELY WASN’T COMPLAINING ABOUT THE AMERICANS FLYING IN ALL GOODS FROM WEST GERMANY DURING THE RUSSIAN BLOCKADE, WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I AM HERE WRITING THIS COMMENT! SAVING US FROM COMMUNISM HAS MY APPROVAL!
Brando fue el más grande
This pic was so well known that I felt sure I had already seen it!
Now I'm wondering if I actually saw Elephant Walk!
Nothing has changed. Sadly
America wants bases everywhere and actually the global elites want a one world government.
The Bible even predicts it.
Parts of the Bible may be literally true.
Nostradamas predicted all sorts of things
a very interesting movie! I really enjoy it!
The ambassador caused all the tragedy. He was wrong at every step
This film completely buried the intent of the novel.
Gr8 story. Writer A+.
Never realized how much DiCaprio resembles brando.
I agree with you. Now that you mention, I think DiCaprio is a dign heir of Brando's immense talent as an actor.
Probably cousins or something
Bull crap Dicaprio is handsome.
This movie was big among the radicals and revolutionaries in college back in the 60's . Who screws them first , The U.S.A or Russia , that is always the reason why they both can't be trusted . And this was the beginning of the Vietnam conflict ..

I have always enjoyed Marlin Brando movies & look toward to watch them eagerly. Great movie once again.
Can AI generate entire movies that seem old and create websites and wikipages to support a narrative?
Great question. It seems so. 😮
I doubt without human understanding it is possible. We may make it unprofitable to work in entertainment.
hold my replicant beer...

It's getting there...I give it 15 years.

One long commercial with a movie thrown in between the breaks
Pay for UA-cam subscription then
@@graciousbeth BETTER YET, buy the DVD and relax at home.
I have read it old and first seen it ( my dad told it earlier). Good one..
Jocelyn Brando looks a good deal like her brother in this movie. By the time she appeared in Mommy Dearest, she
looked EXACTLY like him!
And almost as feminine!
Absolutely brilliant
Only to those with glaucoma.
AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE TO SAVE THE WORLD AND EXPAND THEIR POWER OR GREED WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG - THE POLITICIANS NOT ONLY IN WASHINGTON BUT IN EVERY STATE NEED TO CLEAN HOUSE - CONCENTRATE ON THIS COUNTY AND IT'S NEEDS OF IT CITIZENS AND PEOPLE WHO PAY THEIR TAXES AND OBEY THE LAW - THE HELPLESS - THE HOMELESS - ETC ETC ETC BEFORE GOING AROUND TRYING TO SPREAD THE POLITICIANS EVILNESS -
So. Ignorant about geopolitics.
Huh?

@@Cptblogh The number of ads are different for every user... I rarely get them. Also when I don't want them ever, I just use BRAVE browser
Excellent!
Boy watching this movie is a real tortue. It shows all about the aggression and arrogance of the US. No wonder why the US is not liked by many any countries.
All these fools listen to the news and believe what they hear. God save the queen!
May capitalism prevail worldwide 🌎👍, esp compassionate Christian capitalism
Brando was entertaining to watch in that he brought schtick to everything he did, and it was rehearsed, seldom did he improvise. .
Excellent
I enjoyed it.
