How Marlon Brando Changed Acting

Watch video on YouTube.

In his most recent video, Evan Puschak takes a close look at Marlon Brando’s face and gestures in a scene from On the Waterfront to explain how Brando changed film forever.

And this is what makes Brando a genius: when his eyes betray his words. His voice says, “What do you really care?” But his eyes say, “Please care. Please show me that you care.”

Welp, time to watch On the Waterfront, I guess.
