Marlon Brando....the actor that wanted to save the world.....but no one cared....truly a tragic figure
@Magnolia Trees in the Meadow u mad bruh?
I want to cry watching this. Marlon still kept talking despite people yelling, and I find that so commendable. It reminds me of when Michael tries to talk and people can't stop screaming for two seconds and just fucking listen.
Wouldn't be surprised if the people screaming and distracting were set-ups, "plants" ,to stop others hearing that important message.
My hope is that all of Marlon Brando‘s long lifelong experience fighting for social justice had his back in this moment to be standing there alone obviously he wasn’t well and he put himself out there when he wasn’t well to speak about such an important issue my hope is that he didn’t take that personally he was an intelligent man and understood the workings of things so I really hope that his heart wasn’t hurting and he could gain an objective perspective about herd ignorance
During the Golden Age of Hollywood era, people were dying to meet this extraordinary actor. These people don't know how privileged they were-.-
that generation needs to learn respect. that is a big word
@The Road Warrior they have to regret it now
they need to get off their medications. Their good friends or parents should at some stage convince them to see a naturopathic doctor to get themselves clean, off their cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, whatever they're addicted to.
He was the most Beautiful man on earth.
He was no Huntz Hall, but the late great Mr. Brando certainly did have charisma!
Ironically, 9/11 happened a few hours after Marlon's speech at Michael's concert, so the New York audience got to learn about people suffering & dying first hand in front of them. When the towers fell, these are the same people who expected the rest of the world to cry for them. Where were their tears when Marlon was telling them about the suffering of others?
MrAlbertSquared IDIOT! 911 did not happen a few hours after this, you toehead.
@@italianstallion9148 he meant a few days it was 4 days after
Stupid comment
Life works in strange ways. Sad that the only way some people can learn is when they experience it first hand. I wish Michael would have went on stage and condemned the audience period
@@ElvarMasson nope relative comment people want compassions for their own suffering when they show zero empathy for others suffering.
It is so true what he is talking about. Those people there have never seen a child die of hunger, but the people who have seen that, like him and Michael, have made an impact in their lives. No child should go to bed hungry, Michael Jackson said that and it is so true !!
@Bill Patrick Jones what? Well the only reason is cos Michael Jackson was BLACK. also, he was internally bleeding, had arthritis, and a lot of other stuff. Even then he tried to help.
@Bill Patrick Jones I bet you wouldnt
@@joshheinink Who said anything about that?
Milk and cookies at Neverland. No child left behind.
Even being overweight, old and having difficulty breathing, Brando was so damn attractive. Unfortunately people don't know what respect and compassion are. So sad and painful to see how hard it was for him to speak and move. Truly great and outstanding person.
He actually looked like he lost a bit of weight here.
This is so sad this guy was talking about children dieing but this idiotiotic fans are booing this man......
Paid shills with top connections . Otherwise how could they have secured a position so close to his mike to be able to disturb him? Just shows that Hollywood just like big business often doesn't care about anything but securing more power at our expense.
Now I know why he hated fame and Hollywood.
Exactly. Your comment is the most relevant comment here. This is the greatest example why Marlon hated the industry he worked in for so long. Just one word describes it all really, ignorance :(
Why?
@@johnb.8687 Why? He is being ignored and bood
@@spiritanimal8836 Even when they didnt boo Brando he hated Hollywood.
Not likely.He was an 🐏🐏🐏(ARIES).And we don't like Peoples attraction or fame.We like loneliness & logical people(with class,introvert,smart).We know nothing is permanent.Neither our Wealth,Fame nor our wrong doings.We are helpful but in our way(Being lonely not praising by others).Because of Peoples not think that We are special or far behind of them.For this reason Peoples think fully opposite that We are egoistic & self centric.That is not true.We are Special(Some sort of ways)among all ZODIAC SIGN'S.
the Great Marlon Brando delivering a heartfelt speech only to be interrupted by ignorant people. My all-time favorite actor. Even at this age, he looks stunning, as classy as could be. Poor Michael, must have been extremely ashamed.
Thank you for posting this!
I was there and it was so uncomfortable and shameful to hear the crowd’s reaction/to be part of that crowd. Booing such an iconic man with such an important message. The lack of understanding about why the message was relevant to Michael was shocking. This is a really valuable piece of footage as it wasn’t shown on the special (for obvious reasons). Most people probably have not seen it so again thank you for posting!
I was at the Sept. 7th show
How was the concert?
Unedited of course
Wouldn't be surprised if the people screaming and distracting were set-ups, "plants" ,to stop others hearing that important message. Just like the fake activists who go looting and being violent and so destroying the credibility of an otherwise peaceful protest.
Apparently this audience was largely comprised of privileged people with no appreciation for their good fortune to even be there. I don't care how late the show got started; real MJ fans would NEVER have behaved this way. What a disgrace.
i was there, it was a great speech and a great show!
jesus i've never felt so ashamed as i feel after seeing and hearing those reactions to a such humble and respectful man who's talking about a very serious topic! this is something i would expect from beliebers but not MJ fans!!some people certainly don't understand his message, so disappointed right know. it also has nothing to do with age just lack of maturity smh :/
Right? They should show some respect. Poor Marlon and MJ. He must have been so embarrassed his fans acted that way.
My bet is that they were paid shills of the same company of people who tried to get him convicted on false charges that they themselves are probably guilty of. Hollywood crap.
We all love you Marlon.
Is there a transcript of this Brando speech? Deserves to be in a venue where it can be understood, respected and shared.
Send me
Sad to say but the mainstream masses are usually ignorant af and they certainly aren’t leaders of a generation like Marlon and Michael
i found this video on yt where mj had a simulcast chat with his fans and they asked him about any possibility of a tour in america, and he said like, i dont think so. this is probably the reason why mj preferred to entertain in other countries. i mean just look at the behavior of the audience here in marlon brando's speech
They should know to respect their elders. Damn shame they did this to Brando
"Plants" i bet. Saboteurs. So the message won't be heard.
That’s one thing you will never see I’m the Asian And Native American cultures they revere their elders.
I truly believe Michael was embarrassed of his fans at this moment.Michael and Marlon were friends.How do you show disrespect like this.damn
dude was too drugged to even give a shit.
Yes, One thousand percent because his message was the same ""about respecting and valuing children. The hypocrites at Hollywood truly suck here.
I think if I had been there, to see marlon brando, I would have died of happiness
He may have gained a lot of weight by this time, but he was still a figure with notable cultural impact and achievement nonetheless.
He was still being a very handsome and intelligent person
Those people were so fuckin' rude. I mean come on! thats MARLON BRANDO show some mothafuckin' respect. Just like what Michael Jackson is to music, Brando is the same to acting, a fucking LEGEND. Not only is he a legend in the acting world and was a great activist but he was a close friend of Michael, if these people loved MJ so much they would'nt have disrespected his friend especially while he was on stage were Michael witnessed it. R.I.P Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando.
Werd
Right on ComptonCool Iv'e commented the same as you in the comments section, your so right and it's unfortunately also so sad! I just hope both Great Men are in heaven right now if you know what I mean cause I sure hope there is one!!!🙏👍
Audience: 'Say something, Godfather!'
Brando: 'I see children dying in front of me...'
Audience: 'Booo'.
Props.
It's amazing that this was only a day before sept 11th
He could sit there and say his peace without caring if he is disrespected as long as he gets his message across with confidence. May Marlon Brando, Michael Jackson, and Elizabeth Taylor rest in peace. 😔🌹
didnt marlon do something wrong once with a r*pe scene in a film
UNBELIEVABLE. how the audience is laughing and jeering to a heartfelt speech from Marlon.
Some people like Marlon Brando are so valuable to our Society because they care about the unfortunates of the World. Look how Marlon responded for the American Indians in his lifetime and Michael with We Are The World, no wonder Michael and Marlon were close friends. Caring Loving Men.
RIP Michael, RIP Marlon
R.I.P. Both Marlon and Michael !..
My idols 😓😓😓😓😣
I was there to see that! At first I couldn't believe that I was actually seeing Marlon Brando live in the flesh! This was after I was already shocked at seeing (thru some lent binoculars) a dais with Michael Jackson, Liz Taylor, and McCauley Culkin. Thinking this was a once in a lifetime moment further couldn't believe that he was talking about children being hacked to death or that he was asking for money. This wasn't aired because he was booed off the stage. Unreal
If I was Michael, I would have refused to perform the rest of the show.
I know that Michael Jackson is it quiet type of guy but I really feel like he should’ve stepped up there and said something to the crowd somebody should’ve said something
Mr. Marlon Brando is one of the greatest men in history. We bow in respect for his WONDERFUL words that are always full of deep meanings.
@@Ajidam I would be inclined to side with you, but I cannot approve of your homophobia-not only because I'm bisexual, but because Marlon Brando himself was bisexual.
the crowd...thats america, what a culture...oh wait, it doesnt have 1
what a great man ..but all I can hear zombies in back ground
exactly paid shill zombies, with only one job, laugh at anything, make a racket, stop him talking.
I am curious if the individuals who are displaying their moronic deportment ever apologise of regret their childish actions. To disrespect Mr. Brando, who is Mr. Jackson's friend and to mock a serious topic is a sign of no integrity or decorum.
They were probably covert "plants" whose only job was to make Brando's message unheard.
I feel bad for Marlon here the fans are so disrespectful they are stupid, attention seeking and childish. What he was saying was true and they just wanted michael it's not all about michael
@killwill83 really? You just said that above in the first reply to the comment
If Marlon or anyone wanted to make a speech at a place where there weren't "stupid, attention-seeking and childish" people interrupting, doing it live at the fucking Madison Square Garden where there are thousands of people who paid a lot of money to see Michael Jackson, a scenario known for thousands of years to generate human jubilee and energy, is among the WORST places to achieve that goal. I mean c'mon.
Consider this analog to illustrate the point: yeah, it's wrong for someone to steal your car, no one should do that, but you parked the car in the worst part of town, loads of obviously shady people right there on the street, left tons of cash spread out on the seats, didn't roll up the windows, didn't lock the car doors, didn't even CLOSE the car doors and left the keys right there in the ignition. The other people around may be the slime for stealing the car, but there comes a point where it's YOUR fault for allowing it to happen for your wildly unrealistic expectations practically asking for someone to take the opportunity against you.
@@MeteoXavier You totally missed the point. Michael Jackson was all about "children being safe". When Brando made this speech, he was only repeating what Michael said countless times before: think of the children because they are all our responsibility and they could be our children, your children that are impacted. Children are dying every day from racism, starvation, malnutrition, disease, war, sex trafficking, slavery, racism.
@@andreafomasidirector He was probably set up because like Michael he believed in goodness that affected others' profits.
@killwill83 He was probably set up like many others who refuse to be scummy dirt bags.
WE TOTALLY NEED THE VIDEO CLIP WITH NO NOISE /WAY LESS NOISE, SO THAT WE COULD HEAR THIS GREAT ONE SPEAK OMG.MCHAEL, YOU ARE CLASS ONE AND BEYOND .YOU KNEW PEOPLE AND THEN SOME..OH GOSH WOW.!!!!!.
OH MY GOSH!!! ITS THE MARLON BRANDO!! Just Amazing!
Marlon Brando was not only the greatest actor of all time, but he was also a great human being,
He’s a legend this crowd is ignorant
I agree, I feel sorry for both Micheal Jackson and his friend Marlon Brando, I'm a huge fan of both these men, both were tremendous humanitarians and entertainers in their perspective fields. RIP in Heaven forever Marlon Brando and Micheal Jackson. People on here are right many of these people in the audience should have showed more respect to both of these Great Men!!!! At least not all of them were like that. Please let the man speak, after all both M.J. and Brando worked tirelessly for us all to enjoy their Great entertainment in movies and song!!!!!!! Stay safe everyone!!!!!!!!!🤗✌️🙏
god bless marlon x
What a disrespect to a legend! The audience yelling and screaming and you couldn't understand what Marlon was saying. I'm a Michael fan too but if I am there I will be glued to Marlon 'cause Michael respected Marlon so much. I give respect to Marlon the way I give to Michael! These people have no idea who he was. I am sorry for them!!!
Big,big,bigggg respect for this legend...every young man who dont respect this movie legend it's bastard...
I'm so saddened by this as an American. I think it's very important to remember that this was in NYC, just FOUR DAYS before 9/11, and these rude assholes (who all sounded shallow and drunk), who thought they didn't have a care in this world so they didn't care about anyone else's problems,, were about to get a SERIOUS wake-up call. Brando was TRYING to tell them about MJ's generous charity work in children's hospitals and was encouraging them to give,too. These assholes were crying later.
Omg this comment
I love Brando. He could have said anything and it would be entertaining. And he did say...anything.
They make me sick and not proud of many Americans who don't listen to what he's saying. Wake up young people. Maybe you need to experience hunger and starvation and maybe you will someday, let's hope not. Wake up, but you won't.
..a great and sincere friend of Michael Jackson...thanks, thanks for this video!
Again, just like his Oscar win, Brando used his platform and attention to advocate for those who were suffering, and the audience savaged him for it. Good thing he didn't care what people thought of him.
I agree but he’s so human and that had to be hard to be especially older and fragile like that because obviously his health was waning at that point to sit up there with a legendary background that he has in the boot when you’re talking about children suffering it had to hurt at the end of the day the man is still human.
Kurt Cobain once said "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not". Brando has the same mentality
Just 4 days later.....
9/11
Thank you so much for posting this. I have waited 8 years to hear this, this infamous speech. I only saw some small piece about it in the paper. The deleted it from the actual telecast. In case no one remembers this was just days before 9/11
wow cannot believe those annoying rude M.J. fans.
fake fans, shills to distort that important message. racism is alive unfortunately. My your eternal spirit stand strong. Fear not.
Damn the guys an icon, maybe a bit eccentric, but show a little respect.
+lblythe01 Boo fucking hoo. There are people in certain parts of the world who don't have the luxury of being able to block out these kinds of atrocities from their mind because it's an every day reality for them. And these entitled cunts have the nerve to complain because they had to listen to an 8 minute speech before a concert? Get fucked.
+James Oakes I would be willing to bet that if brando wasn't known for being a bit out there he probably wouldn't be treated the way he was. though the fact that he actually took part in causes and really attempted to make a difference IE with native Americans should have given him some clout in that regard
The thing is, they should no better. Michael was a humanitarian and would have and was grateful for Brando doing it.
@Alrimate I don't think he was on welfare but the rest is true. What does that have to do with the crowd acting the way they did?
@@FilmThePoliceFTP I don’t think that had anything to do with it I just think the crowd was ignorant
Thank you for putting this on You Tube!
That was very disrespectful, I feel embarrassed for those people.
It's crazy how heavily edited the concert was on television....
One of the greatest actors ever ... Marlon brando ... god bless Michael
That was not fair to him. The treatment they gave him was deplorable. On seeing humanity's current state of consciousness, I wonder why the universe or god or whatever you want to name it hasn't come yet to rid from us. I wish I could have known you, Marlon :(
omg, mj fans shame on you for this, mj wanted you to get this message hello? and there you guys go with no heart.
they were unlikely fans, they sabotaged the message, they were shills.
@oismackhead I agree! .......... I can't believe these are fans of Michael. Any Michael Jackson fan knows that Marlon Brando was like a Dad to Michael (as Michael referred to Marlon as his 2nd father at the 2002 AMA's). I'm sure Michael wasn't happy about fans booing Marlon Brando, considering he's also giving a message Michael believed in and wanted fans to know.
Michael looked soo disappointed.
Brando and Jackson in the same room is surely the most iconic thing ever! RIP legends😎😎
this video doesn't make marlon brando look bad
its a reflection of how ignorant the audience are.
why are people laughing and joking when he's making a serious, heartfelt speech?
immature and senseless
42BorTirb very
@meowthyy Like Janet Jackson said in one interview overseas(I can't remember if she was in Paris or Italy) she said that other countries really show great appreciation for American artists. Her guess was because other countries don't get to see these American entertainers as much and that America is 'spoiled'.
The very definition of casting pearls before swine.
What none of you bashing marlon brando realize is that he was mIchael's friend. If you respect Michael Jackson you have to respect him too.
do they not know who’s literally talking in front of them 🧍🏽♀️
So sad ,that it's happend to a great , intelligent ,awsome and wonderful actor.
Poeple are so shamefu🤬🤬l, they didn't realized that they were with one on the last greatest Hollywood's star
IT's sad for hi😪😪😪
RIP Marlon 🌺🌹🌼❣
Jiji Gala rest in peace
@@bekabeka71 ok
He's a great legend and here he is old and sick. Obviously this speech was physically very hard for him - what f***in matter how much he was paid?! Look at him! He deserved respect and honor because of his creativity, because of his age, because of his talent and because of his pains. Its so ashamed, terrible and disgusting!
He is michael best friend and because of that he is there.
thanks a lot,
People have changed since then. They never appreciate anything until it's gone
those people yelling and mocking him live in their own little world
The Americans... they alwasy say about "never forget this, never forget that." but when Mr. Marlon Brando speeching about the childreans dying, they're booing at him... I can't understand anymore, maybe this is the young generation trying to be "no class" in this time of the fucking world.
RIP Marlon Brando, love from Vietnam.
these guys zombies do not how lucky they are to be in the presence of legend
I'm embarrassed for Marlon god bless him the people in there don't know what respect is shame on them
This is why the man hated Hollyweird, hated fame...and three years later, he would be gone! How freaking small and stupid these people were! It’s a true travesty.
im not an american, but this is heartbreaking - especially now with the luxury of hindsight, knowing what followed just 4 days later
unfortunately it was never broadcasted on any TV network. amateur footage is currently all that's available.
Yh I'm not surprised because he spoke truth and 4 days 9/11 happened so this was forgotten
THE BEST ACTOR FOREVER !!!
Brando had it. He was the fucking man. He still had at the age of 77 and he didnt give a fuck about anyone booing him. He never did and never will. Im tattooing his face on my arm
6:03 Is that Elizabeth Taylor? I know she was a mutual friend of both Marlon Brando and Michael Jackson (and she starred with Brando in Reflections in a Golden Eye, after all).
yes thats elizabeth.
Poor Marlon, them so called "fans" are a disgrace. How dare they! Respect your elders especially if they are given an important message
Am I the only one that thinks marlon brando is still fine as a fat old man because he was THAT damn fine when he was young. 😍
Tomato tomoto dude.
Disgraceful behavior and ignorance smh he’s talking about human suffering and these people are booing. Wow. Brando comes from a different generation of class and intelligence and he is the greatest actor of all time. I hope he didn’t take this personally. SMH.
CZcams is the closest thing we have for a time machine.
I m sure MJ wasn't happy
I truly love this man. Bless his soul
I think Marlon and Michael are spending time together up there now :) just as the friends they were, now are again
How disrespectful!!!! 😠😠😑👎👎👊👊🙎🙎
those were not real MJ fans, my God Michael was ashamed...
I TOTALLY AGREE.
"There was nothing that my faather wouldn't do for Michael= acting lessons, anything Michael wanted." Miko, June 25, 2009
Someone should have gone out on that stage and called that audience OUT!!!!!!!
I can't watch this, it's horrendous.
It makes me sooo very ashamed to be an American.
But then there are alot of things that do that unfortunately.
The only thing that keeps me here is the fact that leaving her isn't going to help change her for the better.
What a travesty.
I am surprised he continued, but then again if he only reached of few of them, well that is something.
So painful to hear them. Marlon took the facts of hurt to people who had callous on their hearts. Brutal, disrespectful crowd. 😡
at least michael knows the genius before him
If Michael had heard these idiots he would have escorted them out himself. Mr. Brando had something really important to say and no one listened... I can hardly listen because I can barely hear him! R.I.P Michael and Marlon
What he was saying was probably going over the heads of the average MJ fan.
Marlon Brando demanded $1 million from Michael Jackson to give the speech.
i wish i got to see marlon in person or ever talk to him.. these people probably thought he was a boring business man or something.. how rong they were
Its so surreal to realise Brando lived long enough to see 9/11
The hysteria of being swept up in this maelstrom of pop celebration encouraged intense disrespect and rudeness toward Brando. It's disgusting to watch; people showing such cruelty and shallowness, responding with cheap, mean-spirited joking, to this great man speaking sincerely about things he cares deeply about; things that are, for some reason, a little too unpleasant for them to dwell upon.
