CZcams is the closest thing we have for a time machine.
Poignant observation.
Wow..so true 👍
I really like that concept
Brilliant remark...all of Brando's black male lovers must love him for his political stand...
Have a hard time picturing Brando and Richard Pryor as lovers...sheesh.
Surely his sphincter was ready.
no childish giggling, no interrupting, no stupid games, what a glorious time to be alive
NO TRUER WORDS WERE EVER SPOKEN!
So, you take one moment in time and think life was better 55 years ago? It was a serious interview there was no room for jokes. That is how it was planned. What a glorious thing prepping can do.
@@DonovenGreyshh
Jimmy Fallon haha
Says you
Many were always impressed by Brando's brilliance as an actor. but as a black man, I was more impressed by his social conscience.
Which is more important as MB himself would attest.
I think he would agree with you.
It's nice to see people using their celebrity for good. Decent guy.
Me too bro as a black man what I learned about this guy blew my Mind
🙄 Oh ffs
Marlon Brando was just incredible during a time that it was almost unheard of for a celebrity to speak on the topic of racism.
gibberish
@@lewisc215not gibberish at all
@@IoansChanneldefinitely not gibberish smh 🤦🏽♂️ Thanks for Saying that Marlon Brando 🙏🏾🙌🏾🫶🏾
@@CameronWilliams-gy8bw did u mean to tag me cos I said it’s not gibberish
@@IoansChannel no no no no my bad that top comment my apologies 🙏🏾🤦🏽♂️💯💙
He said acting was an over-rated profession. He said he got into acting because he wanted to find a job that paid a lot with the least amount of work. He said people act every day. He's right. The fact he was so concerned about civil rights just makes me like him so much more.
Interesting.
❤he got into acting because he wanted to find a job that paid a lot with the least amount of work. He said people act every day. He's right.
That's true thinking ..he s a true philosopher
@@hajamoinudeen1399
All while fleecing emotional sheep.
Marlon Brando said he got into acting to meet women. Not that he had a problem in that area.
CZcams made me a recommendation I could not refuse.
Lol
Very good
Very clever comment:)
Ditto!! 😁 There's a picture of him n a shop in Melbourne in bike riding gear - awesome!!
Your hot
wow, I had no idea Marlon Brando was such a sensitive and empathetic soul - makes sense why people loved him as an actor so much. He searched for answers and found them. He shared what he learned with others and even took action. Class act man, respect!
GREAT
Yes ❤❤❤
This is terrific. Any pre-1970's
Carson interviews are like gold, because so few have survived.
Yes. I wonder how this part segment happened to be preserved?
Yes . in the 60's The Tonight Show had more serious interviews of controversial guest and subjects .
Check out the Jim Garrison interview. Not to say the later, more comedic shows aren't great also.
Dick Cavett interviews were great too. Nowadays we have mindless reality shows. No one wants to think anymore, do they care?
HE has a gransion Black do you know? he dont reconiced never
@@sailorlac🎵 What are words for? 🎶 When NO ONE listens anymore!
Many years ago, I had the unexpected pleasure of being in an actor's workshop with Mr. Brando directing. I can say unequivocally that he was a gentleman of the highest order. He was well-spoken, intelligent, and a bit shy! At the closing of the workshop, he unexpectedly invited the entire class up to his home atop Mulholland Drive. He had a reputation for going out of his way to support up and coming actors. I still have the highest respect and affection for this lovely man. May he rest in eternal peace!!
Great anecdote thank you for sharing. Did you go up to his house? Tell us more about what happened there.
Amazing experience. I can’t imagine how rich this memory is for you.
Please do tell in detail your experience at Mulholland drv
Thanks for sharing that 😀
I did not know he was that intelligent, articulate, and caring. My favorite Brando movie is the one he directed in Mexico.....forgot the title. He and Carson were the tops in their fields.
You don't see real men like this anymore! Cool, calm, collected, and mature! Not to mention 1000% more talented and funny than anything today.
and being a real man he faced his bisexuality with grace and dignity
Don’t forget good looking!
@@bonniewep Indeed in the closet until he died
@@bravefreedom8283 Back in the day and even now, one had to protect their careers so they kept their sexuality private....apparently his ashes lie with his best friend Wally Cox.
Later he was overbearing in interviews
This is the greatest actor and one of the most brilliant minds we've ever had. Dude was next level
🙌🏻
How far have the late night TV shows fallen. Johnny Carson was a class act and so was Marlon Brando. Great and deep interview.
Marlon Brando was not only a legendary actor but a great humanitarian. Johnny Carson definitely a class act. Both are sorely missed.
Totally agree.
Yes, he was those things, but not a good husband or father for the most part. He did like to philander.
Seriously? Everything about this guy seems fake.
Francis Hoang, he was very earnest. He meant what he said.
@@lrwiersum Part of the issue with narcissist's like Brando. They really do believe what they say at the time they say it... and then they quickly forget it and do something hypocritical.
You don't see intelligent conversation like this anymore on late night shows. Shows today are nothing more than toilet comedies. Brando and Carson were class acts
You got that right Steve! The only show I like now is Conan's. I like to go on CZcams and find old TV shows.
@@biglee93 Not sure why but everyone is forgetting Steve Allen. Super intelligent, great musician and author and funny as hell!
@@gsdsteve8825 Don't know who he is, I'm sorry. I'll check him out. Thanks, bro!
Bignose Harry finally, someone who fucking gets it. I hate how everyone has a fantasy over the old days. Of course no ones going to remember the bad late night hosts and awful celebrities. I mean there are plenty of well mannered celebrities and shitty celebrities. No one remembers the shitty old celebrities, only the good ones.
Man! So true and so sad. Folks it’s time to get serious now!
“You can’t legislate hate in the human heart” Marlon Brando…….POWERFUL
Because he spoke of MLKs life and death, I adore him.
That's not the only reason!
He’s the most beautiful human being I’ve ever witnessed. Not just physically but morally as well. He was way before his time. Happy birthday Marlon❤️
Girl he is like 60
@@elcatadiaz12 I love older men, he was only 44 at this time and I prefer older Marlon🤍
Girl i heard he raped his own daughter he aint that good
Absolutely
He was a Sex Perv.!!!
He had the courage to stand up for people who did not have a voice to stand up for themselves....beautiful man...great interview on both sides and cheers to mr Carson.
That is the definition of courage. U got it so right. I got choked up that carson gave him a check on the spot. Seeing marlon touched it was such a lovely moment. If u read anything about carson he was very generous & did do it privately so he was not doing this to show boat.
Aries ♈️ they will fight for the underdog
Sure, but he also raped a woman.
This clip is *16 minutes long,* whereas the average late night segment is now 7 minutes before they have to go to commercial.
That's part of why we don't get deep, meaningful conversations anymore.
I admire Marlon Brando in many ways. His interviews are so insightful and introspective
That's why we listen to podcasts now
Love listening to Brando...The truth can be beautiful...
They’re aired as such because they’re edited but the conversations on today’s shows generally go longer. Colbert often puts the longer form interviews on his CZcams, for instance. It makes no sense really to compare
It takes Johnny Carson to get a high calibre actor like Marlon Brando to appear on TV; Bravo, I rarely saw the early Johnny. What a guy!
Thank you for uploading this rare piece of entertainment
Wow! I love Marlon Brando words and his support as a citizen in this country, USA. First time seen this classic interview with Johnny Carson. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us! Greetings from Texas! ❤❤
52 years Ago, Marlon Brando was a Truth Teller, and very prophetic
Prophetic is right - especially 11:23
Now actors talk about their diet and fitness. Shallow times
Aries are forward thinkers.
Well lots of people were speaking this - just that majority of folk didn’t want to listen or learn, or else went back to sleep.
@JackKlumpass The majority of people were not that interested in the problems of America's minorities.
And here it is coming right back at us.
The process of evolution moves very slowly=SOMETIMES.
This is fascinating. His level of awareness was serious.
And fucking REAL!!!!
Today nothing but cheap imitations!
Guests and hosts included!
In the past they had style.. class... Maturity respect and realness.
Today... Blechh!
Yes
yep
He’s the Man 😍
He was so spot -on and intuitive in his observations that, even now (over a half -century later!) the disinformation apparatus and extremist elements in this country are breaking their necks and working overtime in a desperate bid to discredit/ marginalize the man and deny/ minimalize the things that he stood for as is the case with many of the brave in our society who dare to speak truth to power! ! !
brando was so ahead of his time. he wasn't just an amazing actor but an amazing humanitarian.
You obviously know very little about this very sick soul.
This is the first time I’m hearing about his character.
Wow !
What a package of brilliance and conscience.
My jaw just hit the floor! Brando just got way more respect than I've given him over the years. Marlon is gangsta. He's absolutely right. It took massive balls to talk like this on the biggest night time show with 20 million people watching.
True & he had so much power in films that he earned the right to be able to talk this way & people listened.
Listen to what he said about Hollywood and you ll understand why they never hold up Brando as the absolute Giant he was.
AMEN THAT 🙏
Absolutely
A man that fought against racism,injustices, discrimination and defended Native Americans tribes rights and black Americans civil rights movements .He didn't like hypocrites people.
Shalom CCS You mean a traitor and puppet.
Neither group wanted him as a spokes-person but they did take the millions he donated and tolerated his attempts to help
while turning a blind eye to the disgusting pedophile nature of himself and the murder and crime that went on in his own children as well as his abuse and neglect. Sure big role model!
@@millertheory7935 How can you say he was a traitor ,do you even know what that really means or are you some sort of trump waving idiot?
Tim Smith Trump’s a traitor too. You’re slow.
Johnny Carson was a class-act. The synergy between Marlon and Carson was great. It's powerful when two people of consciousness have a conversation.
So much more enjoyable than ANY of today's late-night shows and we could say what we needed to.say
I admire his likeness for the American Indian, and peace for our country. His talent for acting is way beyond gifted. RIP Marlon!
Sure, but he also raped a woman.
Brando was a great man. He helped my people also, the American Indian.
He was a great Indian supporter. 👍
The greatest thing that helped the American Indian were the Indian casinos providing tribal members with free jack.
@@johnnypastrana6727 And also helped many Mexicans in California. In general minorities, my grandfather knew him, and payed medicines to many Mexican Kids.
Lakota Nation supported Ron Paul. Now that's considered racist.
You mean THE Americans.
One doesn’t see eloquence like this anymore. Bravo, Mr. Brando!
@Actually Jeanne, you didn't see it much in that era either. He really was something else, that guy.
Absolutely agreed
You're not looking hard enough. It may be rare on mainstream American television, but it's out there, and more than ever. It just gets drowned out by all the fart jokes.
The man possessed a truly tremendous rhetorical gift. It made him a transcendant actor and, as here demonstrated, an impassioned and persuasive speaker. I am in awe of the nearly perfect flow of his words, rarely broken by "uh" or "er", and penetrating deep into the awareness of the listener. A genius!
And add those eyes of his to it as well…
See 9:24 and after.
Brando's greatest strength, as both an actor and as a man, could possibly have been his ability to listen. A rare and wonderful gift.
This RARE video should become a VIRAL video. Never realize how deep Marlon Brando was. Carson was a master host on The Tonight Show one who has not yet been eclipsed and perhaps never will. The GOAT
And he was bi, i guess!
@@mollyharlen2627 isso didnt understand your comment!
Brando was Uber-cool
Carson-class.
@@matheusmacedo4909 who cares about ???
Marlon Brando: not only one of thespian history’s finest actors in the English language, but also a gentlemen who presented his views with quiet fortitude and respectfulness to those he spoke to and spoke of. Carson gave him some space and was a kindred spirit. Pure class.
My God Brando was otherworldly handsome.
he had average good looks.
Susie E YES!! And even more handsome with each year, all the way to a much older man!! He was on the picture of a magazine, many years ago, and I remember picking it up, and thinking, " Oooohh myyy gosh, he is one of the most beautiful men on the planet!!" And now hearing this interview, what a wonderful heart he had!! ❤️
@@maxsmith695 No. He broke his nose early on and still looked like this. I saw an early screen test of his on youtube. Average? Ok
@@maxsmith695 says by the dude who lived in his mom basement.
@@maxsmith695 ngl that nice man
He was the best of Hollywood and was so aware and compassionate. These 2 are great acts!!!
Johnny Carson was the greatest tonight show host ever.. It's a joke these days..🙂 RIP Johnny and Marlon..
bill staples Johnny was in a class all his own. True clean comedy! I watched him every night till he went off the air.
Definitely the greatest ever .
There's nothing wrong with the guys doing late shows today. Johnny Carson was better though.
the guys doing talk shows today are terrible ...
marlon & johnny were discussing this 1968...so sad that its 2020 & racism and division still flourishing.
This man was enlightened. May he rest in peace for eternity ❤❤
Now....we still need a person-to-person effort. This is a very powerful exchange between Carson and Brando. And, alarmingly, Brando’s predictions came to be.
. . to a "T"****! . . . . .
Who in the entertainment world today can hold a candle to Brando? Talented beyond measure, intensely intelligent, morally staunch and beautiful!
Brad Pitt, maybe.
Robert Redford.
That's about it.
Leonardo Dicaprio . Check out his philanthropist works.
Heath Ledger had similar Intellect, Sensitivity, Talent and Beauty.
I always put Brando and Rod Steiger on the same level.
I think Sacha Baron Cohen does stand up in his own way
Johnny was actually pretty good in these serious moments.
He was the best
Also.. 2 men from Nebraska!
Johnny Carson is the 🎉greatest talk show host of our time! He is such a great interviewer!
He was so ahead of his time!! It’s 2021 and I’m watching this and it’s exactly what he said would happen!!!
I wasn't aware that Marlon Brando was so socially conscious and such a deep thinker. My respect for him has gone up quite a few notches. I already respected him for his role in several movies. But I never got to see a glimpse of him as a person. This was very striking. I'm, glad I saw this video. Long live his memory. ANd long live the memory of Reverend Martin Luther King junior.
Muddle headed left-wing idealist...which is what I was most of my life...but no longer.
thanks Johnny Carson
Gave up an OSCAR
@@fuzzyflick9905 . Yes, but he should have had the guts to go there himself and turn it down!
@@johnnypastrana6727 - So when is your next Constitution voiding fascist insurrection scheduled for?
Incredibly complex man. He thought acting was a silly profession and he always was an activist for philanthropist causes to help people. I love him.
He didn't think acting was silly. That was nonsense
@@BeatlesFan1975 He said it to me personally. Who am I to doubt the man?
This was using the medium of television to it's best potential. To discuss, to state, to think, to advocate for real change. We need this today.
Such a profound thinker and he walks the walk!
“Most of us act all our lives.”
-Marlon Brando
He was acting alright. Got Carson’s (and other’s) money, then walked off! 😆
How did you mean that exactly?
Did you think he was being insensir? If so I disagree. If not I missed your message. Do you have evidence to the contrary?
Did he not give the $ to the cause. He was quite a philanthropist to several under-dog groups and races and the poor when I researched.
@@allisonloxsom7203 It was HIS quote. Meaning that in all of us, there is emotion, pathos within our existence. We are all actors. And all the world's a stage.
"If we do nothing, people will get angrier and angrier and angrier,
frustration will rise, tensions will mount and violence will occur."
Every word seems to be coming true today, as we see the violence erupt across this country.
so true.
Yes but alot of it was pointless violence from very entitled spoilt brats

@@alanrogs3990 useless idiots
Marlon Brando was a great leader and a hero ! I admire him very much. I wesh I knew him personally once upon a time. Sadly, I feel like little has been done to solve this immense problem of racism in the USA ! Marlon Brandon was a very deep and empathic individual to help solve America’s problem with racism. Needless to say, Johnny Carson was a real class act. He was the type of person you meet only once in your lifetime. Great interview ! Thank you for showing this one !
Sure, but he also raped a woman.
Shannon Smith, not enough. Seems like two steps forward and one back
Thank god we have these recorded moments of Carson and all the great guests he had. I wasn't allowed to stay up late enuff to remember them, but now i can appreciate why my mom never missed Johnny's show.
Randomly turned this on Martin Luther King Jr Day January 18, 2021. Chilling.
Yes.
@Raven Reda and now the Marxist left is pushing their critical race theory. Dr. King’s teachings are now being ignored. What a disgusting shame
I came across this randomly as well, right after thinking about current race relations in America. I basically clicked the video by accident and had no idea what it was about, but for some reason I kept watching.
The more Brando spoke, the more I realized he was saying what I've always hoped somebody would say. The crazy part is, he said it more than 50 years ago, and the fact that things are still very bad shows how little people are willing to change. It's relevatory and heartbreaking. A glimpse of hope from the past, for a better future.
@@BURSRKR tropes
*Compare the heart felt compassionate eloquence of Marlon Brando then, willing to give up a film job that would have given him millions, to the cheap virtue signalling celebrities of today who give up NOTHING....a world of difference !*
Is it really more than grandstanding? What if he had taken the job and donated all of it to his cause.
Virtue signalling and demanding the poor to use their money & tax money instead of putting their own money where their mouth is describes the modern asshole celebs 100%
Give up nothing but want more,
@@desleykakoulidisgallaway3382 Isn't that the American Way of life?
@@jefftombrello4370 he probably felt he would be an example for others. If he asked others to just donate it all, you sound pretty generous with other people's money, by the way, others would scoff. But asking for a generous donation that they could all afford gracefully was the fair and smart thing to do.
Very interesting to see how relevant his words are still today. It feels as if he predicted the future in 2021. God bless Marlon ❤️
He was a deep-thinking & feeling man and always stood up for injustices and inequality of the races. He was a great philosopher, humanitarian, avant-gardist, future thinking, and a beautiful person all the way around. GOD Bless his soul. We need to have more men & women like him on earth.
What a beautiful human being ❤️
He was a beautiful man and I loved everything about him
Wow, this could have been filmed yesterday. 50 years and the narrative hasn’t changed.
Sadly true.😪
God help us to love each other!
That's because the democrat party hasn't changed....They are still the party of slavery.....Malcom X tried to educate people but was shot for his trouble.....
amazing, isn't it....yet there are many differences between today and 50 years ago....the social problems are real but Jim Crow is as dead as a doornail. Nevertheless a lot of work needs to be done to heal the racial divide. Part of the problem is the absence of great and accepted black leaders of the quality of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Al Sharpton, Keith Ellison, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Stacy Abrams....none of them quite cut it IMO.
@@michaellovetere8033 Yes!
This video should be shared in todays standard especially what's going on in the world now.
Lots of people are speaking on his appearance rather than hearing the message. This is powerful. Thank you Marlon for being part of the solution 💛
Goodness gracious, had tears in my eyes when Johnny selflessly gave him the check. Two magnificent men.
Hardcore.
Marlon tried to kiss Johnny but he turned lol. Larry King didn't turn..he got Brando in the kisser lol
No man will ever be like Brando and his presence and outlook for life
Marlon Brando still affects people every day when they watch his films and suddenly become entranced by his beauty, swagger, immense sexual power, phenomenally interesting and humane approach to his roles and just his sensitive essence. He was so lovely and also he was a damaged guy in so many ways. But he gave what he had and what he had still impacts people, especially today in a world with new scary crises like mass shootings and economic inequities, as we lose the American dream, any artistic excellence, our human connection to each other or even the promise of a better world. We can look back and say someone tried to do good with the most sincere intention. He is and always will be a part of my soul, my artistic and human journey and I thank God for him nearly every day.
Brando is a timeless character. I have wactched his interviews and seen that he doesnt care much about movies and defies hollywood. He behaved furious to many actors and film crew because he thaought it was the part of the hypocracy they were living in. When it comes to social issues he is unbreakable, he tells and stands up for anything he believes. And also Carson doesnt interrupt him, as he know a pure genious talks about a serious matter
Your comments and observations are so on -point: I agree with you whole -heartedly! Sadly, we have too few celebrities/ artists/ entertainers these days who are willing to - - as we used to say "put their money where mouth is" and have the guts, the integrity, and the force of character to speak truth to power at often great cost to their careers, their status, and their very lives and the lives of their families.
Brando is superlative in his articulation, sophistication and comportment. Notice the complete absence of the currently ubiquitous ‘like’. Linguistically, it’s astonishing how much society has regressed.
It’s got electrolytes.
Well pausing with “uh” was the equivalent of that it was just changed to “like”
Well, like what you say is like true because in our Now Educational system it like feels like there is like less interest in the way young people express themselves and like how the hell do we Stop this Stupid Talk because it seems to have taken over the speech patterns of young people and it has been ingrained so deep into our culture. I have a feeling the roots of this idiot talk came from the California Valley Girl talk that was so funny at one time but has made it's way into our Culture through the back door of our suffering educational system! WHAT ME WORRY!
@@sophiaestelle6641 A false equivalence, I would proffer - if a modern day offender says "I'm, like, so angry right now" - where in that context would it be a stand-in for 'uh'? What 'like' DOES very much represent is 'duh'...
@@stevekatz4372 Simple, try and find a word that doesn't make you sound like you're in need of a brain transplant - there's a whole dictionary (largely unused by the gen you're so proud of).
His words formed tears in my eyes. His sincerity couldn't be scripted. He truly wanted to change the world and the hearts and minds of all. We all need to watch this video.
A naive fool living i lala land.
❤
He was so ahead of his time. Amazing actor as well as an incredible man
One who was very thoughtful when it came to American Indians, Black Americans, and he was always searching for truth. He did not want his Polynesian children to come to CA because he felt it would chew them up & spit them out & they didn’t listen & so it was, sadly. His thoughts were more along the line of Buddhism. I’m glad to see this & I wish I could’ve met those 2 men. Thanks for this upload! 🙏🏼
Marlon Brando was an extraordinary humanitarian and human being. I am so grateful this is back up and I have shared it with everybody I know that are still fighting for the dream of the promised land. I think he would be weeping in his grave 52 years later knowing where we’re at now.
Why are they Still Fighting. Whites have given the everything! But It Will Never Be Enough!
Sure, but he also raped a woman.
Marlon Brando,-& James dean, no doubt where the #1 !! Powerful!! Actors! Of the 1950,s, the movies they where in, where powerful! Too!, Brando shows in this video, he really !!!! Cared for his fellow man!!!!!, A rare! Thing in Hollywood!!!!, As people there,not all, brag about themselves! Endlessly!!, All! B.s.!!!!!, ,A great! Interview!!!!, Gene,calif.
He speaks so eloquently... And smartly.
My random connections: Marlon is a total INFP and pure Hufflepuff! Look at how he can see both the big picture and be compationate! Damn we need more of these!
We damn sure do . . .
Every word Brando says here is absolute truth. Amazing how sharp witty and wise he really was. A poetic prophet just like Robin Williams and Bill Hicks
Truly a genuine human being who cared about others rather than himself.
RIP beautiful soul 💔 🙏
Thank you for the memories 🙏. ❤
Beautifully said.
Thank you for posting this interview here. Historical documentation like this is a big part of what makes youtube such an essential resource.
He was a very handsome man. He had it all, character, good looks, intelligence, acting ability, compassion, he was a good dude.
In 1959-63 my aunt was a hotel maid in tahiti when they started filming mutiny on the bounty hollywood took every hotel and made everyone on the island an extra she said she made more in one week just running around in the background than she did all year making beds and emptying rubbish bins 😎
Thanks for sharing...loved Marlon
After that movie, Brando married his Tahitian costar. Then he bought his own South Sea island. His life was actually like the characters he played. Fletcher Christian, the Godfather. Years of triumph and tragedy.
Great story..I just read his autobiography. What is says still stands about racism.
This is about 5 weeks after MLK’s assassination and Robert Kennedy had a month to live. Lord have mercy.😞❤️❤️
That was the year I graduated from high school. Seems like yesterday until I watch something like this, and I'm reminded how long ago it really was.
Yes, Lord have mercy on us.
@Mike Studmuffin that's a great fucking answer..👌
Murder worked in se Asia at the time. Why not bring it home? Sad but true.
@Mike Studmuffin
Actually you weren't dead. You weren't.
Brando was truly one of a kind. He was so incredibly talented, and off-screen he showed so much passion for marginalized groups. He freely gave of his time, and felt deeply about his causes and did the best he could.
Perhaps a bit of a prima donna, he was tough to interview, though, and I think he became tougher as he got older.
If you're a Brando fan and haven't seen One Eyed Jacks, it's worth checking out. It's the only film Brando directed, as he stars alongside Karl Malden, Ben Johnson, and Slim Pickins. Great flick.
I have always admired Brando for his stellar acting and his concern for the First Nations people of the USA. However, I had no idea about his refusing to work for E K so he could devote his time for the cause of civil rights. This interview absolutely blew me away. I think he took a huge risk by going on the most watched talk show in America to speak against racism and oh my he did it so well. Thank you sharing this gem of history.
Brando was spot on predicting the future....he nailed it blow by blow.
YES! . . . it almost rises to the level of being unsettling . . .
Agree, plus nice dog face in the picture.
Wow - how impressive! Not just Marlon Brando - Johnny Carson too. Even today, we need to have tolerance in this World.
Especially today...
My God, the eloquence. The way he thoughts flow.
" a polarization will occur"....ya think? Brando was exceptional in so many ways.
Fascinating conversation. Brando was such an interesting and complicated man. And he brought out a side of Carson I've never seen in another interview.
Carson understood full well the somber side of Brando and was wise enough to fully respect his special guest.
@@integralsun I have only seen one interview with Brando where he is happy. He is always somber and serious. I wonder if he was that way at home. I wonder if he had much fun.
I have a new respect for Carson. Already knew about Brando, but this was a surprise. They both had class and put their money on the table. Not just a bunch of talk.
Carson was pretty serious for once.
Notice how many mintues went by without the need for A Word From Our Sponsors....
Or interruptions from the host and audience clapping ridiculously.
Capitalism baby! Gotta keep the money flowing
@@daveruda Till its a piece of crap interrupted every 30 seconds.
They cut them out .
Wow what an amazing man! He was truly ahead of his time. I wonder how he'd feel about where we are today..
He would probably hate it
I didn't know this much about Marlon Brando! I didn't know that he was an activist. Marlon was a lovely, beautiful and handsome man. And Johnny Carson was also very genuine and handsome too! Both heavenly angelic men now. I love you both Marlon and Johnny!
Celebrities were more intelligent and eloquent in 1968. Brando is talking from his heart. Now, they just curse and hurl insults.
Celebrities are much less intelligent nowadays.
@@scott7521 some artists are more heartfelt, more intelligent, better communicators
It is not quite fair to compare Brando, arguably (as Carson pointed out) the greatest of his generation, to average celebrities. In any event, a lot of celebs are smart, but it is true that you will not see them talking on TV in this way. The media now will not generally let anything political rise above the level of propaganda, as this did. They are determined to control the message, and free thought and expression are simply not permitted. They probably would not even let somebody as unpredictable as Brando work in the industry anymore, let alone put him on a talk show.
@@briteness Yes agree. Can I add one thing? Brando had a long interview on Cavett shortly after refusing his "Godfather" Oscar. It came out that they had long talks, negotiations. Something you wrote about control of content nowadays, and you pointing out Brando's elite reputation, gave him the position of power. Hope my thoughts align with the words I'm putting down
Not all of them aren't. They just get call crazy commies or tree huggers for caring about anything.
Or "Why should we listen to him, a celebrity?" OR they're not even given air time perhaps.
He was at his apex of handsomeness, eloquence, and "animal magnetism" during this interview.

One of the worst days in my life was when Marlon Brando passed away.🙏💔 Brando was not only the greatest actor in the history of film/cinema but he had a huge heart & always helped the underdog in any way he could. He really helped more people than anyone can possibly know. And he was the most uber gorgeous guy I've ever seen. RIP🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔 Marlon. I really hope I end up on your cloud in heaven.☁️🙏☁️😇♥️😇🙏♥️♥️
Can you imagine today's talk show hosts giving a guest so much space to speak?
It won't happen
no
that's why we have podcasts buddy
Talented, smart, compromised, beautiful, all in one.
@Jim Newcombe people say hes the most handsome actor and the best actor to ever live
"Composed," you mean?
Anybody here give a thumbs up for Richard Burton 💗💗
Excellent! I love these super oldies. The early years. I am glad something was saved from back then to post on here! Thank you! I have already ordered 3 sets from your online store!
Uber Gorgeous Guy, Greatest Actor & Beautiful Person. So wish I was born then & met him. There will NEVER be another Marlon Brando.
God, he was perfect. Thanks for this. He looked amazing. He said amazing real things
He was a beautiful man and very intelligent
I really loved him especially when I saw On the Water Front. Sad to find out so many years later that he actually raped that teenager in Street Car because he wanted a genuine reaction. Disgusting. The truth sometimes really sucks.
Rita Pacitti The most beautiful man I've ever seen.
Jeff Foster I think you are thinking about Last Tango in Paris. And that is a fallacy. He never did that.
Natural Man Love doesn't stop when someone dies.
After this I want everyone to go watch a clip of 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.' It will break your heart and crush your soul to be reminded of what we've come to :(
hey, at least on Fallon, you know who is the next celebrity on tik tok! what more do you want???
Simply, a technological advanced but dumbed down society. Ironic.
@@dimitreze Muhahahahahaha!!!!!! :) Brilliant
Fallon doesn't deserve a show with the title "Tonight Show" in front of it
How right you are .
This is an absolutely insightful interview by this very intelligent man, Marlon Brando, so much respect for him, Rest In Peace, Mr Brando❤
How prophetic was that! Simply spectacular, 53 years later and racism is our major cause of the most divisive time in our country today 2021 !
Thank you so much for this CZcams post 👍
50 years gone by and his words are still true. How come no one on TV has these conversations these days???
Intelligence is dead. It's useless-- actually counterproductive- to get people to consume as much as possible.
Corporations are afraid of the truth democracy. True democracy unites people and holds tyranny accountable. The corporations who own the media want people disunited, distrustfully of democracy and incapable of holding corporate tyranny accountable
The men who own the media conglomerates don’t want the masses to hear intelligent conversation. They want a world of dumb and obedient workers who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork.
Yeah i wish people would talk about race more on tv...

Rodzilla5332 fantastic
Wow. Nice.
You know, Shel wrote a lot of those great Dr Hook songs.
He was one of a kind.
