"The Men" - starring Marlon Brando

Over the last few days I have watched Marlon Brando's acting debut in "The Men". It is almost hard to believe that this was his first film. Even from this movie, he was a classic. This is a movie about men that had become paraplegics while fighting during World War II and been confined to a veteran's hospital. I thought that that casting of the men in the movie was really well done. Each of the men had personalities that were much different from the others and provided insight into how each person might handle the hardships that would come. The movie is dated from the standpoint that there is not nearly the stigma about handicaps that once existed in the US, but it is still good to reflect on how we might have other stigmas about people in our own day and age.
