Marlon Brando stood as a towering figure in modern American cinema, profoundly reshaping the landscape of film acting. He became the quintessential exponent of the "method" acting style, his raw magnetism and mercurial performances earning widespread acclaim. Brando's impact was so significant that his career marked a clear division in acting, described as "before Brando" and "after Brando." His enduring legacy lies in his transformative influence and the elevated standards he set for cinematic artistry.
