Well, for today’s cinema spectacular, I want to focus on Marlon Brando in 1996’s The Island of Dr. Moreau. Also starring Val Kilmer (though nobody would mistake it for one of his best movies), the serendipitous moment in question is when Marlon Brando wore an ice bucket hat on his head because he was hot, and it made it into the movie.
Serendipity, which is also known as “a happy accident,” is something that I’m always quick to point out since it happens so rarely. Usually, serendipitous occasions occur with discoveries, like finding mold in a Petri dish, or learning that two foods go together remarkably well. I always like the moments in films that were initially unintentional but ended up creating movie magic.
