Leon Vitali is such a great "unknown" actor and filmmaker -Stanley Kubrick placed much value and responsibility on this man, and he was the MVP of Stanley's later films. great to see him here, along with two fine actors, both humble and likeable man. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, could you imagine Gunny Hartman walking down the Barracks and seeing Mr. Vitali as a new recruit . The metaphors and names that would come out of the Gunny's mouth would be priceless.
He looks like Kuklinski here, and they are talking about a guy named "Stanley" (in this case Kubrick)-- thats probably as far as "Iceman" as its going to get.
The largest segment of the homeless population in the US is comprised of military veterans, people who volunteer their lives to ensure the well-being of others. 1Matters.org deserves our donations because they work tirelessly to put those disenfranchised veterans back in homes.

30 years later Modine was trying to "splash blood on the audience". At the time, I bet he was simply trying not to pee his pants every time Kubrick told him to "Do it again!"...
I feel like you’re very very wrong. He had the presence of mind to take notes take pictures of his thoughts and everything that was happening during the movie, he seemed very present and I’m pretty sure he knew exactly what the point of that final scene was.
The 22 vet suicides are TOTALLY misunderstood by Modine in this reference. It includes ALL veterans, retired, etc. MOST vets served in peace time. HENCE....
True, Modine doesn't speak for Veterans. What he says about the Marines turning people into killers and that's not how the were brought up that's all we need to know. Young people grown up and understand that evil needs to be faced. He is such a fancy little person.
It’s still a lot of suicides and shouldn’t be swept under the rug. And his points about what society asks our children, yes children, to go and do overseas is totally valid and totally worth stating.
Very cool interview, up to a point, because the interviewer didn't even ask Vincent D'Nofrio a question. What the heck was up with that? I mean he was a major part of Full Metal Jacket and just as important as Matthew Modine and Leon Vitali.
Vincent's part was more complex and the interviewer apparently didn't do the prep work to come up with questions for him. Vincent's character didn't make it past boot camp (what with shooting the DI and all) so it would have made sense to ask him something like "What do you think Kubrick's reason was for including Private Pyle the way he was portrayed?" "Well Interviewer, I think Private Pyle was really a tragic figure, an example of the loss of innocence so to speak, and really illustrative of what happens with society as a whole that's been transformed by wartime trauma and alienation...etc, etc. And we see that today manifested with mass shootings and random violence."
@@koriko88 Yes, interviewers have to do their homework or as you say prep work which the interviewer definitely failed to do. Thank you for adding to my thoughts.
Fuck...Now i want to watch FMJ for probably the 30th time and i can't because video stores don't exist anymore and Netflix don't have it,Crave don't have it....Fuck today's movie industry.
Too bad one has to strain to hear Koster’s voice in this interview. It’s like listening to a stereo recording with the balance turned to one side only.
I was a teen and active in the anti war movt post the 1968 Tet Offensive. The turning point for American civilians. As the war dragged on more and more Americans (youth in particular) openly sided with the NLF. Myself included.
I'm sorry, but for all the stops this movie pulled out in it's gritty, tragic telling of the story, you're gonna tell me that they omitted the beheading because they were afraid it would offend the Vietnamese? FFS...Joker just saw Cowboy be killed by that sniper, saw other squad members be tortured to lure more of them to kill...effectively...and he fuckin snaps! In that case, i'd totally get that scene...first, he'd care enough to know the culture of the Vietnamese and why beheading them is significant...and 2nd, he'd do it for revenge...Peace/Kill em All. It would have been the complete telling of his "Duality of Man".
Once you see Joker's face as he shoots the girl, there is no need for the scene to go any further. The point's been made. Happy-go-lucky journalist Sgt. Joker has now become a stone cold killer. His helmet has a peace sign with "born to kill" written next to it. Duality of man. Animal Mother cutting the girl's head off serves no point to the story after that; it would just be gratuitous gore and would distract the audience from Joker's transformation, since Animal Mother is not the main character.
Kinda Hypocritical for Mathew Modine to claim he didn't want to be the lead role of Maverick in an exploiting War Mongering movie like Top Gun in 1986 . But then he jumped at the chance of playing the lead role in an intense gruesome exploiting War Mongering movie like Full Metal Jacket .

I met Matthew Modine he's a very down to earth man.
RIP R. Lee Ermey
Damn ,I didn't even know he passed away
I am a great admirer of Leon Vitali and wonderful to see those other two actors.
D’Onofrio should have played Richard Kuklinski in The Iceman.
But the guy Who played him was good.
@@Mr.56Goldtop Michael Shannon does no wrong. Well, except for when he tried to play Elvis
.
@@MisterRlGHT Common, his Elvis was great, although not "physically" convincing, he captured his heart well.
@@anthonybrett Nah.
@@MisterRlGHT Alright, well maybe not his heart, how about his left kidney?
Wow, could you imagine Gunny Hartman walking down the Barracks and seeing Mr. Vitali as a new recruit . The metaphors and names that would come out of the Gunny's mouth would be priceless.
Vincent D'Onofrio is brilliant...
Leon Vitali was Stanley’s right hand man. He’s the most interesting guy there.
Kubrick's Igor...according to Modine.
He looks like a cancer patient.
He's Lord Bullingdon!
I thought that was Willem Dafoe... damn
wrong Vietnam flick
Interesting...that you have a mouth and fingers. This was posted 3 years ago, I am interested if you fingers are in your mouth.
I always am amazed how actors are real people different than their roles, It shows the quality of American film
Man, D'Onofrio looks like Richard Kuklinski.
I wonder if he's doing a movie about 'Iceman'.
GREAT suggestion.
You’re right, he does!
Nah...Shannon did a good enough job!
He looks like Kuklinski here, and they are talking about a guy named "Stanley" (in this case Kubrick)-- thats probably as far as "Iceman" as its going to get.
I hope so.
Totally forgot that Keith Richards was in this movie.
Of course he was, they "paint It black" at the end credits...
that isn't Keith Richards..... it's Steven Van Zandt
@@JuandeFucaU
Hehe
Leon Vitali looks nothing like Keef Riffhard.. lol
Richard Lecomte haha
Matthew Modine sounds very intelligent
Lord Bullingdon is it you??
FMJ Diary is on Apple Books (at least the audiobook) for $9.99. Great listen... :)
FMJ is the greatest war movie ever !

THX Ô many THX to You Gentlemen. I love you for your work in this charismatic movie. I remember Sir Kubrick R.I.P.
Sure was nice to get Vince's thoughts in this clip 😐
Indeed. I often feel a little arrogance when I see him in interviews, no matter what they are.
@@AGoodJoe yep. Glad to see he didn't interact much here.
*Is that Keith Richards on the right?*
Google his name, find the documentary about him and learn what he brought to Kubriks work and legacy.
mark d he’s the ice cream man baby, stop him when he’s passin by
That’s what happened to my beautiful girlfriend 6 months on meth!

*What band were these guys in?*
Leon Vitali...Red Cloak.
Who's The Homeless Guy?
Your dad
His name is Leon Vitali. He was the director's assistant. His name is mentioned in the description.
Too bad one has to strain to hear Koster’s voice in this interview. It’s like listening to a stereo recording with the balance turned to one side only.
Just saying. Modine could play Jordan Peterson
and vitali could play a old David lee Roth
Whoever miked this interview did a terrible job. Matthew, Vince and Leon are fine, the interviewer not so much.
Who's the human cigarette on the right?
His name is Leon Vitali. He was Stanley Kubrick's assistant. Looks are fucking deceiving.
That's mainly why RUclips exists,great.
Wheres snowball?
Awesome :)
Do they know about microphones?

They almost laughed as 03s Eeeerrrrr
oh my loved watching this has anyone intervened with the the far right very much respected person about his maybe a problem ?
What's up with D'Onofrio's hands?
Making the illuminati pyramid. Invoking power.
He looks much better than when he was an alien wearing an Edger suit.
Wow i just came to the realization that big boss was in full metal jacket.
😂 1:09 very audible fart 🙄😲😷
Vince's subtle cheek change in the chair gives it away. Going out on a limb here, but I believe he dealt it.
@@rmeastjr Yeah he kind of shifts his eyes down as os of to say..
uh oh wonder if I could do a One cheek sneak
Haha!
Joker Yea ? EVERYBODY HATES ME.....
@@ronfrey5327 lol
"Killed a 12 or 14 year old girl"...who just killed three of your fellow Marines. Is Joker supposed to feel bad about this?
I'm sorry, but for all the stops this movie pulled out in it's gritty, tragic telling of the story, you're gonna tell me that they omitted the beheading because they were afraid it would offend the Vietnamese? FFS...Joker just saw Cowboy be killed by that sniper, saw other squad members be tortured to lure more of them to kill...effectively...and he fuckin snaps!

It would have been the complete telling of his "Duality of Man".
I saw some footage where it was stated that Kubrick thought it was overkill and unnecessary for the story.
🃏Jokers helmet has Born to kill /✌🏼☮️

Vince kinda has a James Hetfield look about him.
3 guesses which one looks like Keith Richards?
@5:15 well, you could always get a real job.
Get the fuck out my interview get the fuck out my interview get the fuck out my interview.
5:49 PLATOON
Who's the tweeker?
Do you really want to know? or are you just playing out a strong trolling desire to say the word "tweaker" hoping to get some reaction?
Keith Richards
Brando
Were there any true blue Marines that played privates in the movie? Were they all actors?
Many of the recruits were actual Marine NCOs including the real Drill Instructors in the background during the opening scene.
Emory was a Marine
There u go meat head, there’s marines in the movie.
R Lee Ermey is the most glaring example of a real Marine in the film.

Very very different movies. Huge difference.
@@nysunflower9439 Both were War Mongering movies . Modine just didn't want to do the Flight Training Required for Top Gun . He was too tall as well .
Some people just age fucking terrible Vincent looks good but the other two Jesus Christ
They stop blinking when they hear the fart. At about 1:09 mark.
I thought it was a "Hmm?" at first.
But when I played it back, close to my ear, it was so clear, I thought I was gonna smell it.
Why is mick Jagger sitting with them......
looks like Vincent DOnofrio had gained all his weight back and more))))
alex smith dont mess with the kingpin
Matthew Modine looks barely any different
Fart at 1:09
How can you shoot women and children? It's easy you just don't lead them so much
I always thought he said "lean in so much" referring to the gun mount. Thanks for the clarification. 👍
Actually it was a quote from our commander Go en. Tolson 229th AVN Bn. AH 1st Air Cav.
It's been an American Military past time since WWII.
