“Now it’s Brando’s 100th birthday. I read two articles and I found them both really annoying, and this posthumous sanctification […] to make him […] a mythology,” Waltz told Interview magazine while in conversation with Caleb Landry Jones. “And it’s ridiculous, because he was a ham.”
Waltz added of Brando, “In the beginning he was fantastic. No one had ever seen anything like it.” However, Waltz also called Brando’s performance in “The Missouri Breaks” “difficult to watch.” He added that Brando’s reputation of being “difficult” on sets, or accusations of inappropriate conduct on the set of “The Last Tango in Paris,” did not affect his perspective on Brando’s acting ability.
“瓦叔”刚谈到白兰度时表示其一开始时给人的感觉棒极了,闻所未闻,见所未见(In the beginning he was fantastic. No one had ever seen anything like it);但之后又称白兰度在《大峡谷》中的表演“糟糕透顶/difficult to watch”。
瓦叔还认为白兰度是一个很自私的人,并以《大买卖》幕后举例: Jones said, “I know people say he’s ‘difficult’ and all, but I don’t know if the folks he was working with were always ready to… There’s that great YouTube video behind the scenes of ‘The Score’ with [Robert] De Niro and Brando doing a few takes in a row, and Brando’s just grasping at straws for anything that’s alive, anything that wasn’t his. Maybe it’s selfish for Brando to work this way.”
