The Genius of Marlon Brando: Acting Techniques That Changed Cinema
In this video we will learn about The Genius of Marlon Brando: Acting Techniques That Changed Cinema

Marlon Brando grew up in Nebraska before moving to New York to study acting at the Actors Studio, where he trained under Stella Adler in Method Acting. His breakthrough came on Broadway in "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1947) as Stanley Kowalski, a role he later reprised in the 1951 film adaptation, launching him into stardom.
Brando is considered a pioneer of Method Acting, a technique that emphasizes deep emotional connection and realism. His naturalistic performances, intense presence, and rebellious persona transformed Hollywood acting, influencing generations of actors like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) – As Stanley Kowalski, Brando brought raw masculinity and intensity to the role.
On the Waterfront (1954) – Won his first Oscar for playing Terry Malloy, delivering the famous line: “I coulda been a contender.”
The Godfather (1972) – As Vito Corleone, he gave one of the most legendary performances in cinema history, winning his second Oscar, which he famously rejected in protest of Hollywood’s treatment of Native Americans.
Last Tango in Paris (1972) – A controversial but critically acclaimed performance.
Apocalypse Now (1979) – Played the enigmatic Colonel Kurtz in Francis Ford Coppola’s war epic.
Brando was not only a great actor but also a strong advocate for civil rights and Native American rights. In 1973, he declined his Academy Award for The Godfather, sending Sacheen Littlefeather in his place to protest Hollywood’s negative portrayal of Native Americans.
His personal life was tumultuous, marked by troubled relationships and family tragedies. Despite his complex personality, he remained one of the most respected and influential figures in film history.
