. . .he was very freeform, Stanley.
He'd try anything.

1:47:04
He'd ask the actors in for meetings. . .
1:47:07
. . .and say, "There's no such thing
as a stupid idea in this context.

1:47:11
If you have an idea just say it. "
1:47:14
And he'd often adopt them.
1:47:17
I'm not saying Stanley
wasn't a control freak.

1:47:20
I would never say that.
1:47:22
But there were many ways
he was not controlling.

1:47:26
You should probably not be...
Should be more. . .

1:47:30
. . .frightened, then get into that.
1:47:32
Do something brilliant.
1:47:34
I loved him, I enjoyed his sense
of humor, but I would be lying. . .

1:47:38
. . .if I didn't say there were times
when he was incredibly difficult.

1:47:43
If you weren't willing to solve
the problem as much as he was.

1:47:47
If you weren't. . .
1:47:49
. . .as devoted to understanding. . .
1:47:54
. . .what it was
he was trying to go after. . .

1:47:57
. . .it was really hard for him.
1:47:59
Sometimes you didn't know
what it was he was looking for.

1:48:03
I remember walking around
Beckton Gas Works by myself. . .

1:48:08
. . .and he drove up in the jeep
and said:

1:48:10
"What's wrong?
Why are you walking around?"

1:48:13
I said, "I don't know
what it is you want from me. "

1:48:17
And he said,
"Are you crazy? Get in the jeep. "

1:48:20
He said,
"I don't want you to do anything.

1:48:22
I want you just to be yourself,
that's all I want. "

1:48:26
You put "Born to Kill" on your helmet
and wear a peace button.

1:48:28
Is that some kind of sick joke?
1:48:32
Well, what does it mean?
1:48:34
-I don't know, sir.
-You don't know very much.

1:48:36
Get your head and your ass wired
together or I will shit on you!

1:48:41
Answer my question
or you'll stand tall before the Man.

1:48:44
I was referring to
the duality of man, sir.

1:48:48
The duality of man.
The Jungian thing, sir.

1:48:52
Whose side are you on?
1:48:53
Kubrick shot part of
Full Metal Jacket in London. . .

1:48:56
. . .where a derelict gasworks was made
into the city of Hue, Vietnam.
