Day #21 of 30 Day Film Challenge

The prompt is A Film that you dozed off in

Watch on YouTube

I not only dozed off - I fell asleep. It was at least on my television set - rented, not in the movie theater. I don't fall asleep in movie theaters.
And I didn't just fall asleep once. I rewound it, and did it again.

Interesting. Brando was an interesting actor. Very good in films like "Streetcar Named Desire", "Guys & Dolls", "On the Water Front", and "The Godfather", but he despised acting and everything associated with it. He just happened to be very good at it - and couldn't do anything else.

Hollywood kind of ate him alive. He was a sensitive soul - and fame is toxic. I saw the Brando documentary - and it's painful. He was addicted to food and used it to deal with pain. And could not lose weight as a result.

Also he was in the studio system - and didn't get to pick a lot of his own movies - like you said. So ended up getting a lot of roles he hated and basically walked through.
