This is very true...if you watch him in "On the Waterfront" you get so emotionally caught up in his character, you want to cry when he cries.

I almost did cry when he was holding the gun to his union bosses at Johnny Friendly's bar, and when the priest tried to take it away from him and talk some sense into him, and Brando said, "It's none of your business!! It's none of your business!!" mad frown

It captured me.

Also in the last scene when he went to the docks and yelled out, "Hey Friendly!!!" I can't remember the exact lines, but when he said, "I'm glad what I done to you, and I'm gonna keep doin' it..." mad Beautiful acting.

"You was my brudda Cha'lie, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money."

"Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money."

"You don't unda'stand, I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody.... instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Cha'lie."
