“I have seen this movie more times than another”: for Brazilian director, this is the best feature film of all time with Marlon Brando

Among the questions on which the stars are ready are their favorite movies. And we are not talking about their favorite movies here within their own films. One or more of the favorite films are obviously very diverse for reasons: the works that were for them; Because they celebrated childhood because they had a significant impact on their careers, or simply because these works were nourished by their performances.

“I want the world to discover a mutual revenge”

A filmmaker who has an exaggerated imagination, whose artistic career, unfortunately, has been more seriously damaged by very complex production and homerous states, studio -minded leaders, Terry Gillia always nourishes unconditional love for his art, in addition to being a wonderful film buffet.

In 2007, he persuaded American journalist Cindy Perlman in his book You have to see this To be astonishing to be a transverse Western lover and, moreover, the unique production of film legend: Marlon Brando’s mutual revenge.

When this film came out, I was on New York Street 42, when we still had double taxes. I was about 23 years old, I was sitting in this old cinema and saying, “Cool! Send to Brendo!” Before that, I had to go through the terrible movie that they put in front of two types of revenge. It was torture!

I love this movie and I’m still doing it. This is one of Brando’s best performances. I have seen this movie more times than every other, and now I want the world to discover two faces of revenge. ”

Released in 1961, it is a very unique Western, with Marlon Brando having a double role of actor and director. The story? It happens in 1880 in the village of Mexico, Sonora. Rio and Father Longworth robbed the local bank and fleeing agriculture. Rio’s horse hit a bullet, and his father continues his way after Rio returns to another horse after Rio’s promise. But he does not keep his word.

The father actually avoided robbing, and Rio was captured. Years later, she escapes from prison and discovers her companion who is now married to a Mexican woman, except that she has become a small coastal sheriff. For revenge, he decides to seduce his beautiful daughter

“I had absolutely no idea what to do …”

The only production of Marlon Brando, and then at the height of his glory, was originally directed by Stanley Kubrick, who finally dropped out of the project. Behind the camera very uncomfortable, filming was close to Brando’s torture torture. He will also say in an autobiography published in 1994: “I didn’t know what to do …” He used the astronomical number of the film (embezzlement), waited for hours to fulfill his plans …

In five days of filming, he had been scheduled for 15 days. A little delicious anecdote: As a good follower of the actors’ studio method, he claimed to be authentic drunk on the scene where his character was supposed to be … except that he was so drunk he could not perform. That did not prevent him from repeating the same process in the following days …

When Paramount discovered the end result, for 4 hours and 42 minutes, the studio was scared. Not happy with the starting budget blast, from $ 1.8 million to $ 6 million, the film was simply unusable for such duration. Paramount conducted things on their own editing room and reduced the length of the film to 2h21, in addition to finishing.

The film was still a great success, but Brando declared himself bitter: “It’s a good movie for them, but it’s not a movie I made … The characters are now black – white, when I wanted to be gray and man.”

A few years ago, with the support of Martin Scorsese (and Steven Spielberg!), Two faces were revenge as part of the skin classics, and since then he released DVD and Blu-Ray by Carlotta.
