Well it's clear he has a "I don't give a shit and I'm just doing what I want" attitude in his performance (which makes it bad), but by the same token that's what also makes it work for some people. It's so bizarre that there is a compelling factor to it. I didn't think it was clear that he had a "I don't give a shit attitude and am just going to do what I want." I only realized that once I read about Brando in his later career (he stopped giving a shit long before The Island of Dr. Moreau). I just assumed the director wanted him to play the character as an eccentric nutball because it fits with everything else in the movie. Either way I find the movie itself and his performance very strange and creepy. To be fair the movie was a clusterfuck long before he came on set. I read he was just doing what he wanted in Apocalypse Now too and that is one of the greatest supporting performances in movie history imo. I feel like Brando's work in Apocalypse Now is a mix of doing what he wanted, what Coppola and the script wanted, and doing things out of necessity.
