I love watching Martin Scorsese talking about film because he totally loves them and he's so unpretentious ... it's like somebody who totally loves ice cream eating it in front of you sharing it with you and just talking about how wonderful it is
Yes, Marty is an extremely bright guy and has such a great reverence for film. I certainly share his enthusiasm for One Eyed Jack's, and many other wonderful films, throughout history. And, I'm a huge fan of his films. Many are classics.
He seems so humble - It's like he doesn't realize that he is one of the greatest directors that ever lived. Like he thinks he's just a guy who loves films and stumbled into making some here and there.
@@Purplenpinkk yeah he is humble that's one of the things I like about him and that he's down-to-earth and still has a good sense of humor . I think he's so grateful for help his interest his hobby his love of film turned into a full-time career for him that he doesn't have an entitled attitude because he seems so appreciative and grateful for everything
@@Benji306 Yeah biggest Hollywood L is that we didn’t have a Brando/Kubrick collaboration perhaps the best actor and director ever together would have been something
Marlon Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel in THE WILD ONE. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, a Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.
One Eyed Jacks has always been one of my most favorite films, and now I just must see it again. It is so profound and wonderful on so many levels. Really enjoyed Martin's comments.
That film was a masterpiece: every actor, the director and cinematographer did a phenomenal job. If there was a director's cut it would be a national treasure if it ever surfaced.
I just happened to have watched it a couple of weeks ago. It was the first time I watched the whole film uninterrupted and it is a masterpiece. For 1961 audiences who were used to John Wayne movies, it probably went over their heads.
I always loved Marlon Brando as an actor since I first saw him as a kid but there's some things about him in his personal life ; he could sometimes be a horrible human being . I believe his ex-wife when she talks about how he used his money influence and lies to get custody of her child and how he paid off some psychiatrist to have her deemed mentally unstable so that he could get the custody . There's a clip here somewhere of either the woman or her husband or both of them talking about it ... I think I recalled the husband saying she had been on some kind of strong medication for a long time only to find out from other doctors later that she did not even have that mental illness . and what they are saying is very credible . Anyway , I saw some clips here of people talking about how he basically slept around with a lot of people of both sexes , including believe it or not , Richard Pryor , whose own wife said yes it's true . However , I do feel bad for him because early on when he was having success there was an interview with his father and Marlon ... you just get the impression his father didn't really like his own son that much and wasn't proud of his success .... and perhaps even jealous .
@@gardensofthegods We will always be drawn to the man, and the myth of people like, Marlon. The glaring intensity and performance genius (if such a thing exists) of his work on screen will always, imo, always outshine and outlive all of the 'stories' about him as a man or a husband or a father or a son or a lover or even an activist. Such great art will always dwarf the artist, if not the man.
@@bunny.thebest9103 I’d agree, I think Welles had a huge impact on Brandos generation of actors (Dean, Clift, Newman,etc) brando has impacted every generation since everyone from Meryl Streep, to Johnny Depp to edward Norton has talked about his impact on them
If only we got a Scorsese/Brando project. Scorsese is a master of getting phenomenal performances out of any actor and a collaboration with one of the finest actors ever would have been magic.
@@ricogomez4020 I always felt Brando became so openly greedy as a way of criticizing/exposing the grotesque face of the film industry. It’s almost as if his later life was a performance where he played the “role” of the very type of bloviated, tempestuous, hypocritical, obnoxious hack job Movie Mogul that he saw dominating the studios. Privately, Marlon never lost his love for the arts or the craft of storytelling. He would occasionally phone friends and perform entire soliloquies of Shakespeare from memory. I feel the tragedy of Brando is not that he didn’t respect the arts, but that he respected the arts so deeply he was broken by seeing how little Hollywood respected the arts and ignored its power (in Brando’s view, its moral obligation) to raise important questions and assist social movements. Marlon sank his own ship, which is a shame because there were many filmmakers doing the kind of work he wanted to see and his involvement might have helped elevate them in the public eye-if not in his own time, then certainly nowadays.
Love listening to Scorsese talk film making. The labor of love that makes someone a masochist, at times giving 100% of your focus over something that 99 out of 100 people may never notice, and at others having to have the discipline to wrap and move on-mentally move on-and accept that the balance may lean toward preparation or chance.
Just to watch Marty speak about a film he admires is impressive and entertaining. It's very easy to get caught up in his enthusiasm... and he has that unmistakable Italian expressivity.
I concur. He has such a beautiful way of speaking and strong passion for cinema that it's infectious. I think if he'd not become a filmmaker he'd have been a great professor.
If you’re referring to Pina Pellicer, no one knows the real reason for her suicide.... ‘one eyed jacks’ was released in 1961, she committed suicide in 1964.....
the cinematographer Charles Lang was nominated 18 times in his career for best cinematography he was also nominated for this picture.. the movie is shot beautifully. I mean after jacks Charles went on to shoot to How The West Was Won of course 1 year prior to jacks he shot the Classic - The magnificent Seven one of the most famous Dps in hollywood at the time...
You should have directed him Martin Scorsese‼️That wave was amazing but didn't they cut it out of the film? Brando didn't care if that wave took a month or 3. He definitely would have waited‼️It's truly amazing how much knowledge Brando had! He knew something about everything‼️ We'll never see another Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, or James Dean. Not in this lifetime. They were the trifecta of greatest actors in cinema history‼️🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔
What an incredibly underrated film! I absolutely loved it one of my favorites of all time! Brando was brilliant! Karl Malden gave an epic performance! and now seeing Scorsese pointing out directing qualities makes me further appreciate the movie! what a shame Brando didn’t direct more movies! and performing more Movies as well! Unfortunately he wasted epic talent!
Ha! Depends on the shooting ratio, obviously. Dozens of 1000ft reels I reckon. Or perhaps even over a hundred reels. This was shot on 35mm 8 perf horizontal (VistaVision), work prints very likely optically printed onto regular 35mm.
I got a hold of some strange DVD-version of this. The picture quality was really bad but I still liked the movie. I will buy a better version of it someday and enjoy it again. Now when I've seen quite a few Marlon Brando movies.. This is one I would really recommend.
Someone bullied the bully. Lol Two artistic giants that want to run things. Brando vs kubrick. I generally dont love westerns but this one was the most underrated ever. Yeah he brought something else to the western genre. Reuniting again with karl. It was more than just lets get the natives...yeee haw or rescue the girl. It was an anti hero and it influenced leone. It was a deep character study of two men. And their interactions were among some of the best acting you'll ever see.
I doubt Kubrick would have done better than Brando as directing this film. He wouldn’t have been able to catch the tormented energy of Brando. Kubrick was too cold brainy for this.
Especially on the hill when arrested by the federales. With his face facing ahead, his eyes are nearly closed as he raises both arms to the air in defeat.
Honestly I think if someone had committed murder or anything else for hardcore cinemafiles like Marty it just doesn’t matter. Similarly with someone who wrote a great novel or short story. I mean I kind of have to agree the two are separate and only mildly relevant to the other. I say this partly because some actors are beyond eccentric and like other driven elite people in their field hurt a lot of people. Many say Brando was one of those destructive types.
Brandos only directorial debut to this day is an enjoyable movie, Kubrick was so embarrassed of his first he wanted to erase every copy. I can't imagine Brando putting up with Stanley's 60-80 takes 😂
Is Marlon Brando Jesus Christ? He’s an actor. Get a grip, America. He didn’t save lives or conduct research or do anything without faking it. Capiche, Martin. Screaming ‘Stella’ like a violent sociopath and mumbling to Al Pacino is nothing special America baby.
He donated money to many organisations. He was an advocate of civil rights movement and the plight of blacks in America and was one of the first champions of Native Americans in the media back then. He may not have literally saved lives, but he used his position as an actor to bring light to such issues.
Fair enough. Good points. If that's true he is just like millions of Americans. An actor that participates in politics, public life and political causes is exercising a First Amendment right. That's praiseworthy. An actor that condescends to 50% of Americans by telling those Americans each is immoral or unethical is in the arena. The arena is opposition. I don't care if Vanessa Redgrave is a radical for terrorists in the Palestinian Liberation Organization or Olympia Dukakis supports the presidential candidacy of her cousin Michael Dukakis. These two made political statements an issue in public, and each is in the arena that will provoke opinions. Hollywood for 40+ years is a one-party totalitarian state. It is the radical Left and that's why the Academy Awards is a ridiculous emotional confession that the Democrat National Committee can script.
very fascinating the things these auteurs and various associates see in film that the avg. joe /us only occasionally perceive. I say occasionally because some of it I do feel or see but I might be 16 instead of 57 when I watch a picture the 1st time. Artists make the best scientists. They are already innately much more observant than someone who has to Learn observation in a stifling college classroom.

Thank you, Martin Scorsese, for your testimony about Marlon Brando at that time. And your commitment towards Film History 💖
I can only imagine how good a movie with Prime Brando directed by Martin Scorsese would have been monumental
or Stanley Kubrick. Shame he didn't stay on the film, would have been interesting to see the end result...Kubrick/Brando, intriguing....
@@Benji306 Yeah biggest Hollywood L is that we didn’t have a Brando/Kubrick collaboration perhaps the best actor and director ever together would have been something
@@Tonycillian5 Almost happened with "One Eyed Jacks" but sounds like Brand's ego got in the way. Shame.
Now THAT would have been something...especially considering what Brando did with (the other New York-Italian American director) Coppola.

People who share their knowledge and passion make the world a better place.
I just watched One Eyed Jacks the other night.!!! Stunning performances.. I didn’t realize Brando directed it till the end. Outstanding
Fun fact:. Stanley Kubrick was set to direct this film but Brando fired him and took over as director.
I say "Thank you, Y Campbell" for sharing this with the lucky ones who stumble upon your posting.
There is nothing more important in all of American art than Marlon Brando..
Until Machine Gun Kelly came along.
I would say Orson Welles is as important as Brando in American cinema.
@@bunny.thebest9103 I’d agree, I think Welles had a huge impact on Brandos generation of actors (Dean, Clift, Newman,etc) brando has impacted every generation since everyone from Meryl Streep, to Johnny Depp to edward Norton has talked about his impact on them

Wow what a memory, I could listen to Mr Scorsese all day
It’s a great film and though visually aged, the spirit of the film still very much timeless. Every is good in it, not just Brando.
Wonderful to see & hear his admiration for what Brando achieved in his direction & that Spielberg agreed about it's great beauty.
Scorsese loves his craft. Has real spiritual passion about it.
Loved this movie. "You may be a one-eyed jack in this town. But, I've seen the other side of your face!" Best line.
I like "tub of guts" line myself.
“I’ve been rottin down in that pen in Sonora!”😂 I’ll never forget that line!
Its more interesting to listen to this man talk about old classics that to watch his new films.
I could listen Scorsese talk with passion about cinema for hours
It's hard to believe some critics originally were critical of this film . It was very fresh and original .
My favourite western for so many reasons,just beautiful,magnificent,a term widely used,but seldom reality,a masterpiece
The master of his craft talking about the other master of his craft! I am in heaven!
Dont know why this movie is so underrated..I loved his movie...
Even if he had picked another calling in life, Scosese would have been the ultimate university lecturer.
he did it, bcz he was /is an artist 🎨 🎨 🎨
Brando slept with the actress then dumped her. She then committed suicide.
If you’re referring to Pina Pellicer, no one knows the real reason for her suicide.... ‘one eyed jacks’ was released in 1961, she committed suicide in 1964.....
That’s like saying Hitler killed him self because of the evacuations of Dunkirk...
Not really his fault I’ll be honest
