Oo. La mejor actuacion de Brando. No, no fue la de "El Padrino"... I coulda been a contenda...
This classic was pretty disappointing to me. The acting was terrific and everything and the plot was very good. But I found it quite boring in many parts. Still a good movie.
Everything Brando did before was just a warm up to this, his greatest achievement. Elia Kazan's metaphor for the Hollywood blacklist is still an important film over 50 years later. Brando's charisma as the broken down pugilist, now a strong-arm for the mob, stands as one of the...( read more)
the best actor in his finest hour, brando's oscar was a just tribute to an exceptional performance, kazan adds a deep meaning with his own experiences in a cry for true justice, a cornerstone of american cinema
This film is one of the first that I had ever seen that seemed to transcend so many different genres.
Even in an era a widespread hardship, unity brings down the powerfully corrupt. One of the greatest films of all-time.
this film is amazing for the stunning performances if for no other reason, and there are many other reasons to love this movie. brando gives possibly his best performance and every other actor from the biggest roles to the smallest roles was at the peak of acting. possibly one ...( read more)
True Classic, On The Waterfront is a extremely powerful masterpiece with Marlon Brando who is scintillating as a heroic lead.
AWESOME. Brando is so explosive and I can't get enough of him! The famous "I coulda been a contender" scene is so great. Awesome Kazan movie.
The scene when the preacher gives the speech after Dugan's killed is the best part of the movie.
Watched this movie for about the 7th time last night. Riveting performance by Steiger and Brando. Steiger understands the subtlety required to play off a powerful character.
Great movie about a young trouble maker who takes a stand for justice. Beaten and bruised, but still fighting until the end, he manages to find strength through love.
Beautifully made film. Elia Kasan's best film. States that although it may be tough to do there are situations in which you should tell the authorites what you know.
Fantastic movie,with a great performance from the peerless Marlon Brando and a good supporting cast.
Brando & Rod Steiger 2 method actors fighting it out with their screen performances with Brando taking his first Oscar. Great storyline of how Unions controlled "the waterfront".
a terrific, memorable film. Brando is absolutely superb. A true classic that tells the enduring tale of corruption and overcoming it.
Downtrodden and guilt-ridden, Marlon Brando puts in a stellar performance as Terry, an overrun union worker who finds himself torn between loyalty and morality. Things take a little while to shape up, as we are bluntly shown the mean streets of which Terry resides, post-mortem ...( read more)
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.
Brando when he was handsome and good at acting and not crazy and fat.
The classic tale of man stuck between good and evil. Marlon Brando as that man, Karl Malden as the Priest trying to help the union dockworkers stand up for themselves - and a beautiful Eva Marie Saint in her very first role. Directed by Elia Kazan. This swept the Academy Award...( read more)
In my humble opinion, this is the greatest movie I've ever seen. It was the first that opened my eyes and showed me how amazingly moving a film can be.
I don't know what to say about this movie that hasn't been said. It's good on so many levels, in fact, that I might just not know what to say. (Having just watched Raging Bull, though, it will be watched again shortly!)
My favorite movie, and a searing expose of the dark side of the labor unions in those days. Brando is electric and at his simmering peak in this one, and the overall cast is superb. In a way this movie was probably a decade or two before its time.
And it's obvious that Brando was exceptionally good. It's a sad story but very, very good.
I just saw this movie for the first time. I fell in love! Brando is magnetic !
If you ever doubt if Marlon Brando was a good actor... watch this. He's phenominal in this.
Brilliant. Great story, great acting. Its one of them films that is unpredictable. Brando is a great actor.
Marlon Brando in his youth
and the director Elias kazan , made a marvellous film with criticism in society ..the film took 8 Oscars
