On the Waterfront
"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it." - Genuinely brilliant. Marlon Brando is phenomenal in this, giving a classic performance. Loved lots about this, especially the score which was magnificent. Feel like the start could’ve been slightly quicker though as it does take its time to get going. The final acts are all magnificent and this is a worthy best picture winner.

Brando? A legend Eva Marie Saint? Iconic
On the Waterfront
Tense, paired with a tight script and some great acting from Brando, makes On the Waterfront a truly unforgettable film. Yet another film that I have been meaning to watch for some time, but hadn’t thought to watch yet. A magnificent picture, and one that certainly is desrving of its Best Picture status.

I mean, what can I say? It’s just a beautiful, incredible film.

"I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody. Instead of a bum, which is what I am." Well said, Marlon. On The Waterfront is a start-to-finish pallooza of immaculate strength. Marlon Brando in perhaps his finest role is electrifying, spitting lines with such finesse and grip. He's one compelling and hypnotizing actor. I'm in complete worship after seeing his performance astonish the crap out of me. That's how legends do their thang - and On The Waterfront is that film for Brando. GRADE: A-

Film School Drop Outs Weekly Challenge (https://letterboxd.com/goghaliens/list/film-school-drop-outs-weekly-challenge-2019) Week 18: Cinematographer - Boris Kaufman Presently, I don't get the hype for this. Yes, the opening scene was strong, intense and cinematic. And the ending was powerful as Brando's character (Terry) walked with dignity. But other than that and Brando's performance and presence, the film, as a whole, isn't that gripping. There came a point where the main thing that was keeping my interest and excitement alive was the thought (because of the poster), that Terry would snap hard, even as it was increasingly becoming obvious that it wouldn't go in that direction because it would have been so out of character. Maybe this will grow on me on a rewatch.
