 brando before he got fat and untalented. July 15, 2004
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The entire time length that takes place in this movie is like less than one day. Brando and his Black Rebel Motorcycle Club cronies spend the day being retarded in some bar in some town. The only reason I could think to watch this movie is so you could see that at one point, in a galaxy far far away, Marlon Brando was a cool dude. Before arrogance seeped out of his body like sweat, he was a guy you'd want to see in a movie. Now, obviously, he's dead and like most actors who were in old movies, has been elevated to 'legend' status, despite only being in a handful of good movies. This movie was released in 1954, and I know I've become a bit jaded by Pulp Fiction and anime, but as far as I'm concerned, 1950's B&W movie or not, its not very good. The begining, end, acting, story, etc., just isn't that great, and it's really nothing more than a cult film about motorcycles.
 I AIN'T JIVIN. . . BRANDO DOES ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 12, 2004
I would have to agree with other reviewers that this film is rather corny, but for its time it was revolutionary. Throughout the film I must admit I had several laughs with lines such as, "You're too square" and "Anybody thinks their too good for me, I knock 'em over sometime". And phraseology such as "that's corn ball style". And Brando's faux black accent put me in mind of a 1970's blaxploitation movie, especially with the continual use of the word "jive". Nevertheless, Brando's deliverance is awesome, everything from his facial expressions and gestures to his timing is perfect. The man is stunning in this film. It's hard to take your eyes off of him, but then again, why would you want to?!! Highly recommended!
Cheesy plot but Brando rocks July 11, 2004
Being a huge Godfather fan, I have been curious since Brando passed away to see more of his films. Caught this one tonight on TMC. My dad warned me to remember when it was made before I watched it. I am glad he did because I probably would have thought that it was horrible and instead I came to realize that Brando was a brilliant actor! Yes, I have to agree that there is a lot of 50's cornball BS but Brando was so good in this film that it makes me truly sad to think of the crap that is made in Hollywood nowadays. Oh she has a hit single let's put her in a movie! Yeah that almost works! Looking forward to checking out more of Brando's work!
Mesmerizing plot! July 5, 2004
With this movie Brando became in a icon for all a generation; somehow Brando meant the breakthrough with the past. His style and strong personality let him to establish not only as an irreverent actor but far beyond, but in an actor of multiple skills , with the trademark of a new method far away from the english models as Alec Guiness , John Mills or Michael Redgrave , and cold blood in his acting. He was altogether with James Dean , John Casvettes , Montgomery Clift , Dennis Hopper and Sal Mineo the pioneers , the new beat , the avant garde current of the cold war generation.
This film was a special triumph for Lee Marvin too, another hard guy who would make his own bliss in antihero roles. (Dirty dozen)
In this movie the term Beatles is seen in a special sequence . Try to find it.
This film was clearly a visionary issue , thirteen years before Easy Rider for instance.
Marlon Brando : in memoriam!
Watta ya got? May 30, 2004
All right, it's silly now to see Dick Van Dyke's ex-neighbor as a outlaw biker, to say nothing of overaged juveniles Gil Stratton & Alvy Moore. But then there are the peerless Timothy Carey & Lee Marvin.What really makes this movie work is that it is just a quickie B-movie of the 1950s. They had to scrounge up actors who could ride & then they had to scrounge up the bikes (my understanding is that that was Brando's actual Triumph). And then there's that great Leith Stevens score performed by Shorty Rogers & his all-stars. West Coast Jazz! (Miles hated it, the sound, that is). I saw this one day after school just after it came out. Wow. Changed a lot for me. The way I talked, the way I walked, the way I looked, the way I thought. Needless to say I wasn't alone. We're looking at true history here.
