Oscars are always a yearning for the world cinema, but not for Marlon Brando.
Because on March 27, 1973, Brando rejected the Oscar award for his endearing performance as Don Corleone in The Godfather.
Not only refused, Brando was not present in the event.brando later represented actress Sacheen Littlefeather who at once conveys the actor's message.
Through Sacheen, Brando said the refusal was related to his attitude protesting the way Hollywood displays the figure of Native Americans in his films.
Considered one of the greatest actors of all time, Brando earned his first Oscar nomination through his role as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951).
That role is a repetition of Brando's appearance in a 1947 production drama that adopted Tennessee Williams's work.
Through the drama, Brando's acting skills began to look and he got attention.
Brando then re-nominated for his role in the movie Viva Zapata! (1952) and Julius Caesar (1953).she won her first Oscar in the film On the Waterfront (1954).
Brando's career declined in the 1960s, when one of his costly One-Eyed Jacks (1961) films, which he directed himself, failed in the market.
Similarly, the movie Mutiny on the Bounty (1962).brando is talented but then he is also known for his "mood" that often changes, often demands, and the outdoor life of the screen that can not be arranged.
When Francis Ford Coppola, the young director who handles The Godfather, he has to fight hard to get Brando who will play Don Vito Corleone.
Brando gained that role after casting and deducting his salary of $ 250,000 from what he asked for.
Sure enough, Brando's acting in The Godfather is considered a masterpiece and continues to be remembered.through the film also Brando re-grow his film career.
