Marlon Brando: il mio amore, la mia ferita
Sie liebten und sie schlugen sich …
Tarita ist 19 Jahre jung, als sich Marlon Brando, Ikone und Enfant terrible des amerikanischen Films, 1960 während der Dreharbeiten zu „Meuterei auf der Bounty“ in die bildhübsche Tahitianerin verliebt. Der bereits zum zweiten Mal verheiratete Schauspielrebell lässt sich scheiden, und eine Liebesbeziehung zwischen Hingabe und tiefem Leid, Zärtlichkeiten und Demütigungen beginnt, die bis zu Brandos Tod im Jahr 2004 dauern wird.
Zum ersten Mal erzählt Tarita Teriipaia die ganze Wahrheit über die 43 Jahre dauernde Beziehung zu Marlon Brando, den sie nie aufgehört hat zu lieben. Ein ergreifendes Porträt eines Schauspielers, der an seinem eigenen Erfolg zerbrochen ist, aber auch die Geschichte einer unmöglichen, zerstörerischen und zugleich grenzenlosen Liebe.

Read finished in 4 hours but I was deeply impressed. This woman is a greatest mother and wife . I think she and marlon are truely loving each other from beginning till the end , just in a inappropriate way . They love with hurting each other to express the love hidden love which I am not sure if marlon knows it .. their love is magic and beautiful but what is the most pitiful in this relationship is their family .Too many people deaths and psychological mental problems involved doomed they cannot obtain happiness like a usual family does .

“you know, Tarita, I still love you. I waited and now you’re here”
This book is so underrated, I think this is one of the greatest memoir i’ve ever read. The story is heart breaking and Tarita is such a strong woman. She had to surpass all those obstacles, and yet she’s still here.
I really like the fact that even when Marlon was being an asshole, she still tried to explain his actions by picking passages from Brando’s autobiography.
That’s very sad to think that a woman -and more generally all the Brando family- has to go through all that.
Moreover, the contrast that Tarita faced between her island girl initial life and her evolution in the hollywood world is really striking, all along the book she compares herself to her brothers and sisters all living simple lives in Tahiti, and yet being happier than her.
Even though their relationship was kinda controversial I think that it was a very beautiful and romantic story -yet not ethical ofc-, and that they showed each other love through despair, which in some way remind me of a song that could make lana del rey lol

Tarira je jedna od Marlonovih žena. Imao je dvoje djece prije nje, pa sa njom dvoje+jedno što je ona dobila sa drugim čovjekom. Nakon toga je imao opet brak sa Japankom i tamo djecu pa na kraju sa sluškinjom i sa njom troje djece.
Nisam bio upućen u taj dio života, jednog od omiljenih glumaca.
Fokus knjige je na njemu i Tariti.
Uz svu slavu, moć i novac, nesreća svuda.
Djete umrlo od droge, sin iz prvog braka ubio muža te iste kćerke od njega i Tarite.
Bezbroj ljubavnica.
Takav način života što ga većina slavnih osoba vode, jednostavno nije rješenje.

Fantastic Book, Tarita is so honest and sincere, i felt her pain and torment, she has suffered a lot and frankly her life had been ruined by Marlon Brando even if she wouldn't admit it herself..
