Marlon Brando in his youth
and the director Elias kazan , made a marvellous film with criticism in society ..the film took 8 Oscars
Such a great cast. A wonderful movie - you'll wonder why you waited so long to see this.
Excellent classic movie with some unforgettable performances. I don't really know what I can say about it that I am sure someone else has already said better.
I know Elia Kazan did something wrong, but it doesn't have anything to do with this powerful, moving, indisputable masterpiece. Marlon Brando stands out in the role of his life.
A tight, well-written, classic drama. More about the human contradictions that the political ones, especially the struggle of workers to build better lives for themselves and their families. The overall theme is the importance of overcoming fear.
Elia Kazan's classic On the Waterfront is a sensational piece of work. Not to mention Brando's performance as Terry Malloy, his performance is one of the greatest in film history. The entire cast does well, but Brando just out does everybody. Everytime I hear that "I coulda been ...( read more)
Features the famous "Me.. I coulda been a conteda" speech. Great Brando performance and a superbly shot film
Brando is in three of my top 15 favorite movies. That's pretty impressive.
Brando oozing power and vulnerability in the same shot...some of the best acting ever
I'm not going to deny that this is a brilliant film but it somehow left me cold.
I've always been a big fan of water, so you can imagine how excited I was when I heard about this movie.
Eva Marie Saint was wonderful but I felt Brando was a bit overrated in this one
I call The Godfather The Father of all mafia films, but before The Godfather there was On The Waterfront, which i call The Grandfather of all Mafia Films, Marlon Brando gives a performance that you will never forget, and the whole last scene you will never forget.
Brando reminded me of De Niro in this movie watch this then watch taxi driver youl see what i mean
Terry: You think you're God Almighty, but you know what you are? You're a cheap, lousy, dirty, stinkin' mug! And I'm glad what I done to you, ya hear that? I'm glad what I done!
This is my favorite Marlon Brando peformance. No one else could have played this part so memorably.
Was Karl Malden ever fortunate enough to receive top billing in a feature film? He always seems to be playing second fiddle. Nonetheless, Malden really pulls his weight along with Eva-Marie Saint in another teaming of Kazan and Brando in this drama about couldabeens and wouldabee...( read more)
Best Brando Ever! Not to mention most powerful Elia Kazan ever. This is the movie that defines Brando's movie persona forever. He went from being underrated(Streetcar Named Desire), miscast(Viva Zapata!), robotic(Julius Caesar), to being an overnight superstar. I also like The Wi...( read more)
Great dialouge, acting and story. Marlon Brando at one of his finest moments.
Yankee dockworkers in the 50s unite against mobsters. Not a movie I can easily identify with, and I find the style of film-making in that era both boring and irritating.
Brando is great, as are the rest of the cast, but I find the plot to be fairly predictable and the ending unrealistic and too light. The score was awfully manipulative as well. Another gripe I have doesn't relate to the quality of the film is that Kazan tries to justify his act...( read more)
this was the first movie i saw that actualy live dupt o every single review i had read about it. this moive is a masterpiece.
This movie is very complicated. I had to stop it in the middle of it (to my friends great annoyance) and just think about the situation.
WHAT TO SAY. SEE IT. Hudson River's HOBOKEN, NJ, waterfront IN 1952 (?) approx. Ah, Karl Malden. Great story of trying to get the movie made in the Elia Kazan biography. Funded by some sort of coloful hollywood character who took a chance on the script.
One of the finest flics in Moviedom. Brando shows why he was one of the world's rare pre-eminent actors, a select crowd. Woof!
absolute classic
tremendous performance by marlon brando and the ensemble .
great screenplay with hard to forget dialogues
one of the best movies i have seen
No matter how insignificant you feel, you can be important to a lot of people
The perfect movie. Perfect cast, directing, writing and score. Flawless.
Vintage Brando. This movie is perfectly paced and injected with plenty of action, a little romance and an excellent storyline.
