    Vincent D'Onofrio (Law & Order, Full Metal Jacket) joins us this week and opens up on his process of letting go on set, fully embracing the idea of failure in service of a better artistic performance. Vincent is candid about his decade long experience on Law & Order - from the burnout he suffered on set, to the disdain certain crew had for his choices in the role, to the gratitude he had for the actor it helped him become. We also talk about the intensity on set shooting Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, growing up introverted, and having to teach actors certain lessons.

    The boot camp portion of the movie is so good that the Vietnam half of the film almost feels like a letdown without Pyle in it. He played the heck out of that role. The transformation was unreal.

      @@SnoopyReads What wrong message? The movie's message isn't anti-Marine. I think it addresses the cognitive dissonance that runs rampant through a warfighter's head: Do the thing you've been trained to do all while fighting that deep-rooted programming that says killing is wrong.

    Most people probably wouldn't know this but the second half of the movie was actually shot first... they filmed the entire "vietnam" section and then had a break in filming for a couple months before they resumed to filming the boot camp segment. Just before shooting commenced on the boot camp part, Lee Ermy was in a car accident and had multiple ribs broken. When they were shooting his scenes, Ermy was in huge pain the entire time, having to yell and scream his lines, other actors on set reported him keeling over in between takes and clutching at his torso and struggling to catch his breath. Absolute legendary performance he managed to put on still.

    This movie was released the year after I completed my own USMC recruit training (boot camp) and it sure brought back memories. MCRD training did not change much between the 1960's until the end of the 80's so everything except for being choked by a DI actually happened. There were a few injuries and fatalities of recruits, mostly at Parris Island but enough to make changes. I was the first group to enjoy those changes as the DI's could no longer actually strike you or choke you, however you would be amazed at what they came up with. Instead of hitting you they just slammed you into a wall or on the ground. They spit on you as in hocking a big one on you, and they would slap you and even kick you. It sucked, it was not fun. At least not in 86'.

    Vincent’s first movie was: “The First Turn-On” 1983. FMJ wasn’t his first movie.
    R. Lee Ermey’s first film was: “The Boys In Company C” 1978. FMJ was not his first movie.

    Vincent says Lee was green and then goes on to say that it was his first movie himself. Wouldn't that make you green also?

    • @TheIronDuke9
      @TheIronDuke9 2 месяца назад

      Yeah that was the point he was making, he was green but he felt like Lee was even greener - because Lee hadn't trained as an actor so he would seem green to someone who chose acting as a primary career even if it was both their first film

    I think Vincent is mistaken. FMJ was not his first film. He was in Adventures in Babysitting.

    Lee played in, “The Boys in Company C” in 1978. I really don’t think he was green. He had been around acting for a while by the mid 1980s when Full Metal Jacket was made.

    R. Lee Ermey wasn’t green in 1987. He had already been acting for 10 years prior to FMJ.

    No one could do the Marine Drill Instructors voice inflection or "sayings" unless you had been on Parris island during Vietnam and experienced them...but having said that, anyone who was there heard the exact same things as were said in this movie and can reproduce them as second nature. It's one of those Had to be there things...Semper Fi.

    Two pieces of information that likely surprises almost everyone, as it surprised me:
    1. The majority of Americans who fought in WWII were draftees, not volunteers.
    2. The majority of Americans who fought in Vietnam were volunteers, not draftees.
    We tend to expect otherwise because we have been fed the narrative that most people were opposed to the war. They were not. People saw it as necessary to stop the spread of Communism and many volunteered to fight.
    Now, one can argue whether, in retrospect, that assessment was correct or not, but at the time, people supported the war. The anti war movement didn’t represent the majority of Americans on either side of the political isle.
    But everything we have been fed in the media including popular culture has made it appear that nobody supported the war (yet somehow we kept fighting it) and every soldier was an unwilling conscript who wanted nothing but to get back home as soon as possible.

      Could you clarify your comment? As I interpret what you are attempting to convey is confusing, to say the least.
      It also would present an impossibility, as I read it. That would be especially true if by, "...got us to learn our drill on the exact same lines and position as in the movie...", you mean some of the exact land marks depicted in the movie. Mainly because the ENTIRE movie was filmed in the UK.
      Did you boot camp in the UK? I didn't. Rather, I went to boot camp at MCRD, PI, SC at the same time that Ermey was in boot camp at MCRD, SD, CA!
