VICE Talks 'Sicario' with Benicio Del Toro
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- For this episode of VICE Talks Film, we sit down with Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro to discuss his latest film, the atmospheric, morally complex drug-trade thriller 'Sicario.' The film follows a young FBI agent (Emily Blunt) who is enlisted in a secret CIA task force, along with Del Toro's ominous character Alejandro, to eliminate a Mexican cartel boss.
Del Toro also shares his perspective on America's war on drugs, the hurdles of being a minority actor in Hollywood and how eating 16 donuts a day prepared him for his legendary role in 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.'
Sicario is still in theaters around the country and this interview contains minor plot spoilers.

Benicio Del Toro made Sicario amazing. It was great, but it wouldn't be half as good with anyone else but him as Alejandro.
agree
just imagine sicario 2 now how much better it will be with him and brolin as the focus of the film instead of blunt. Not that she is horrible actress but next to those two guys she holds no candle to a commanding presence on screen.
But the whole point of the film was the contrast between her and the commanding presence of borderline-sociopathic alpha males. I'm worried it won't stand up to the first.
Javier Bardem could have played this role without a problem.

Ahhh....
Such potential to become one of the greatest sequels. But man the part 2 story bombed so hard
Benecio Del toro and Brad Pitt have unusually similar facial structures
+kuwait85 He also looks like Max Keiser from RT!
+Adrian Mulligan I can see it
+kuwait85 he looks like Mr. Bean
+kuwait85 It is the eyes bro.
Brad Pitt + Elon Musk
Benicio Del Toro deserves another Oscar for his performance in Sicario. Puertorican pride.
+Volcom Green - Yeah i saw the movie.. not nearly enough to win an Oscar..
+javier negron spiniard
best and only Puerto Rican actor till now since acting was invented 😂😂
+javier negron agreed, he was superb in Sicario, I also think sicario should win the best picture Oscar, sadly I think its almost inevitable that Di Caprio will get it for The Revenant and it'll most likely win the Best Picture Oscar too
+javier negron Not until Will Smith gets one.
Underated actor
+GuitarBrother ... even the bit parts in early 007 and Tales from the Crypt
+GuitarBrother u forgot one of the best "usual suspects"
he's actually famous... lol
+ELBandido Do you even know what exactly the word "underrated" means?
Drew Clayton yes i do
Benicio's face has both super good looking and ugly side, it's outstanding and characteristic, he can play happy man and exhausted man simultaneously.
Takashi Kashiwase i find this comment hilarious ...cus its true lol
Takashi Kashiwase 😂😂
Takashi Kashiwase its called THE EXOTIC LOOK, hes not a pretty boy nor unattractive, nor average looking either but possesses a bizzare magnetic appeal about him
@@amorlove4023 He looked like brad pitt when he was young
He should have been cated for ''Joker''
How he didn’t get an Oscar nomination for this role is insane. Incredible performance
In "Traffic" he's even better!
this guy has some range, he can play anything. One of the best actors alive.
why are people saying hes underated?
hes pretty fucking popular worldwide
+Frankie Andre because this gives you likes.
+eloforfree
and people feel like they know more than others.
+Frankie Andre Popularity has absolutely nothing to do with being under rated.
+Frankie Andre they are projecting their own personal feelings because they are only just now realizing how great of an actor he has always been from the beginning.
O
This film was the definition of brilliance
thanks to denis villeneuve
@@jean-lucdavid9368 yeah but not just him. the cinematography (roger deakins) and soundtrack (jóhann jóhannsson - rip) were also incredible. not to mention some of the acting!
absolutely. One of my all time favorite films
ANYTHING that Benicio is in, I'll watch. He's incredibly intense and his acting draws you in. He's awesome!
He's still hotter than most of those handsome young ass new actors. Great vibe, charisma and talent.
Seulil P because his masculinity Is in tact and he's a g
this man is like in his 50's pulling 20 year old chicks
@@jeremys3951 i fucking know right
@@malakaneesmohsin4952 was it necessary to swear
@@legionofgod6691 fucking yes
He deserves some kind of recognition or prize for this role, he played the single most focused and collected killer in any movie i've seen apart from javier bardem in no country for old men, very professional
Samuel Gonzalez have you seen The Hunted. His psychos in the movie was nailed.
Havent seen any movies of Javier Bardem since No Country for Old Men. The sight of him alone, even without the presence of his Dora-esque hair style, still terrifies me to date. 😱
John Wick took that title now 😂
Haha true he was a monster in that movie
Don't watch if you haven't seen Sicario, then come back and watch lol
RedoranGuard-SkyrimBattles Glad you liked it! I think the plot wan't that important, but the score, image and acting is on point.
+Frederic Beaudet There is a part they are torturing a guy and it sound weird xD
+Frederic Beaudet Benecio is wearing The Hunt tracker jacket
I rewatched the film immediately after I first saw it because its that good, never donr that before. It's a masterpiece
Watched it and it is brillant.
How is it possible not to be nominated and get an Oscar for his performance?He's an underrated actor!I almost melted the dvd player watching countless times Sicario!!!
Sicario was fucking amazing and so was Benicio
This story points out how complex the cartel problem is. There is no morality or clear lines of right and wrong. Del Toro is an amazing actor and both of the movies are worth watching.
the govt too. any organiztion with power, really
"Dont ever point a weapon at me again". Best scene!
Met Benicio many years ago on the street. A very nice and humble man. What more can I say??
I cant even remotely picture him as Alejandro by his actual looks in real life. Alejandro looks physically huge , deep in thoughts, quick and ruthless
What a class act. I've always liked him as an actor but he was exceptional in Sicario
The most underrated actor. His game is subtlety and he's such a master at it. Such an intelligent actor.
Benico Del Toro made me feel that characters pain, seething anger, determination to make things right. Emily Hunt portrayed her character so well I became frustrated with her not understanding the bigger picture. Great story, director and most importantly actors.
@Son of Anubis & Lilith I hate autocorrect
It's amazing you thought Alejandro was trying to make things right. He wasn't. He was a product of what happened to him and he became a wolf. Simple as that. His objective is morally gray and in no way shows he's trying to make things right, as you say.
@@bradydavis5791 Make things right for him. He was all about revenge for the brutal murders of his family.
That's one of my favorite actors, this Puerto Rican guy can really act and has a face to remember, good luck to him he's a nice guy.
As your attorney, I advise you to take a hit out of the little brown flask in my shaving kit.
+Eric06410 i wish he'd talk more about fear and loathing, such a great, ferocious performance. Do u have of any interviews where he goes in depth about the movie/performance?
+Juanito Alimaña I'd rather not say. My brother is in politics. Yeah, you understand.
Eric06410
looool
you took too much man, you took too much, too much
Backdoor beauty?
Del Toro looked really handsome in Sicario. Weird how different he looks outside of the film.
Hair, makeup and color correction. :)
SCHIZOPHRENlC Yeah, his usual sleazy slick back needs to go. He should keep the scruff too.
Yeah, he looked like Brad Pitt In some scenes.
+Dylan O Brown
+Darkman especially That last scene where Kate is holding him at gunpoint.
i love how he looks at her when she asks if he had ever received a standing ovation like he did in canes. Perfect "bitch please" moment
He looked at her like "I ain't an award winning actor for nothing, honey" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Lucky Patrick =
Lucky Patrick her questions were mostly loaded agenda based typical left wing liberal type questions nothing honest or just truth based.. She had underlying reasons..
I don't like that feminist type rhetoric
Just ask honest human based questions... Not loaded with Hilary clinton type politics.... Just be cool and be a human being and have a conversation with another human being who happens to be an actor...
Bryan Calhoun what? Chill with the blaming liberals for everything ppl my goodness. All I see in UA-cam comments is ppl bashing liberals.
Bryan Calhoun what the ...are you talking about weirdo...
Benicio is one of the best actors of this generation without a doubt. He is amazing in every single role he has been in without a single fault
Benicio has a kind nature...
He also does a good job of staying out of trouble in the real world.
Sincerely,
Jack Nicholson
This man needs to be in so many more films
I'm Italian, and I think this amazing actor has been underestimated. His way of acting in these roles is absolutely unique. The director of Sicario 2, is Italian, and had no doubt about his qualities ....
fargneta I'm surprised Danny Trejo wasn't in this movie since he also very good at playing drug lords and latino gangsters.
@@emilio2647 I agree with you. Danny Trejo is a very good character actor
💯 Benicio did an amazing job in the film. Very talented and a beautiful guy too! 💖
Still, one of my all time favorite movies. A lot of modern movies lack the atmosphere this movie brings. Unapologetic and raw. You believe the evil is real in this movie. Love it, even to this day.
He deserved an oscar for "Things we Lost in a Fire" and "21 Grams". Most of his roles are amazing but these two are my favorite and I truly think he deserved more recognition for the intense performances.
Yoh yoh yoh 21 grams. I haven't seen things we lost in the firr
Hand him the fucking Oscar already.. His acting in the final scene is alone an Oscar worthy! Best performance he's had throughout his career
+Thomas Oliver Your crazy. Fear n Loathing in Las Vegas was the role of his career. Just bc it didn't get an "Oscar" doesn't mean it wasn't his best performance. Not every good performance gets a Oscar nomination
this movie, hit me with a 180 I didn't expect from the trailers. This movie kicks ass.
He is so underrated
+Kass Ni Its true ...sadly he's now got to old to really ever be what his potential was .
+Angryconsumernerd he was in tons of great movies.hes not too old.can you elaborate?
+Angryconsumernerd all of his roles were all pretty spot on his whole career I mean he has won Emmys
THEBROWNSTAIN You are taking me wrong ...he is one of my favs ..he just did not have a 20+ year superstar run like lesser actors
+Kass Ni He's not underrated. Anyone who is interested in movies knows Benicio Del Toro and that he's good.
Medellín!
DonJZA no Medellin
Juarez
Benicio is the shit... Has been for awhile... Still haven't seen Sicario yet, but I will soon.
That duck face picture LMAO
Since the posting of your comment I hope that you got a chance to see this movie. Benicio OWNED it!
gotta see this and theyre coming out with a part 2 called soldado in 2017 or 2018. gonna be badass
Did you watch it yet?
@@joelbennett9014 lol.. i dunno if you're just being cheeky, but I did and actually have also seen the sequel. Benicio predictably was great in both, along with Josh Brolin.
He was amazing in the movie Sicario. A real bad-ass, especially at the end of the movie!.
This dude is one of the best actors to ever live. This dude peaks my interest like no other
Hilarious interview, he has a great sense of humor besides being one of the best Actors of his generation without any doubt.
too bad about the VICE journalist, who is just the next liberal moron posing pathetic questions that sound more like statements, such as "but you do think that drugs should be legalized, right?" .
"Time to meet god" Alejandro was bad ass.
I don't blame him, donuts are magical.
Can u shut up
that moment when you ignore the message at the beginning and you regret it.
His kids and wife got murderd, so yea
***** oops... i have tourette
+ludovic Don't worry, the movie sucked shit.
***** really... a poet... lmfao thats all you can fucking think off? really fucking clever you dumb hipster shit
+Alex Maxwell funny guy...
DelToro is one of my favorite actors. In Sicario he plays a former Cartel Member/hitman, who joins forces with the feds, to take down a rival cartel who killed his family. The fact that DelToro is Spanish makes the movie that much more powerful. Great movie!
He speaks Spanish, he's Puerto Rican.
Wrong, he’s not a former cartel member nor a hit man
I think he is lawyer or something?
@@user-hc4lf4pv8m speak English
@@asdsadasdsad9897 dafuq u sayin?
Sicario was pretty good---Benicio was not the one to mess with. Good storytelling!
Love this Puerto Rican actor.
So underrated.
Adversitive I agree
It's my first time watching this and i loved it. A short, informative, fun interview with great questions and great conversation. Thanks!
How is he underrated? He is an oscar winner. He will probably get nominated here. Leonardo DiCaprio should have oscars falling out of pockets and he has 0.
The reason why Leonardo doesn't have oscars is, in every year he was nominated, there was a better performance that year. Leo is a great actor, but unlucky when it comes to oscars, while this man is talented but unlucky everywhere else.
+kulyon I feel like Leo has the same attitude or mindset when it comes to Oscars now, just like the way Joaquin Phoenix doesn't give two shits about Oscars or award shows
Leonardo DiCaprio is an incredibly overrated actor with a very very small range. He does not inhabit his characters, he simply reacts with a few techniques but he is always himself. Yelling, pointing at things to convey authoritative positions and raising and lowering eyebrows are not the marks of an actor that should have Oscars, let alone have them falling out of his pockets. Overrated. Fully.
+cactaceous You nailed it bud. Dicaprio is good, but has never reached greatness. And for the record, he went full retarde in Gilbert's Grapes so that doesn't count.
+kulyon He didn't, though. Sylvestor stallone in his place, lmao. Oscars are all political.
Benicio did such a good job playing Alejandro that if I ever met him I'd always be slightly on edge just in case he actually is a sicario...
Just seen this brilliant film tonight. It was truly amazing. I am born and raised in Tucson Arizona. And to see the film's storyline take place in Nogales Sonora Phoenix and Tucson is mind blowing and right on point. The plot is shocking and sobering the cast was amazing. I really enjoyed this masterpiece.
Just saw the movie and i absolutely loved it. Benicio is such a great actor.
Amazing career in Hollywood.
Much respect to all Puerto Ricans in entertainment from a Dominican NYC.
I think Sicario was one of the most accurate depictions of the drug war between the U.S. and Mexico. The altercation crossing the border and what the cartel's foot soldiers look like and how they would act if the gunfight was real. Overall, there was just a real genuine feeling about this movie. Not to mention, the musical score absolutely intensified the emotional tempo of the movie.
everything about this movie is simply fantastic and Benicio just nailed it. I am surprised he didn't get any award for the outstanding performance.
Give this man an Oscar already: Sicario, Usual Suspects, 21 Grams, Fear and Loathing and a ton of other classic movies.
Traffic
Wolfman
One of the best actors of all time
she is such a weirdo. eating donuts isnt crazy. a guy liking grease is not a big deal. what world does she live in?
+Kris Calapp she was falling in love with the guy... lol
Prolly LA. Hollywood or something
Prolly LA.
Prolly LA. Hollywood or something
I feel sorry for the person who had to edit this. Journalists normally ask questions, opposed to giving answers and ending their sentences with saying "right?"
Terrible interviewer. Let the guy talk. Ask open ended questions, don't try to assume you already know what he's thinking. He's the star - not you.
Shut up man stop being a salty fucker calm ur tits
True, shit interviewer.
"Crack isn't the same as Marijuana" HA! You can say that again.
ITS AN OUTSTANDING MOVIE ... HE is Amazing as Alejandro ... and a Legendary Sicario for that Role.
Sicario blew my mind!! I can't believe I just watched it yesterday. I feel like this movie is really underrated. I only saw Sicario trailer one time! Crazy good movie, it had me on edge the whole time.
He was awesome in the movies,' Usual Suspects and Snatch.'
Finally someone that pronounce Denis's name properly!
Benicio should be up there in the great pantheon of actors, every film I see this man in he plays parts that you think about long after watching the film, his performance in Sicario was one of the best performances ive ever seen.
SICARIO was simply brilliant.
I can see him playing Pedro Del Valle. He commanded the 1st Marine Division during the battle for Okinawa during World War II. He retired from the United States Marine Corps as a lieutenant General. Like Benicio Del Toro he's from Puerto Rico as well. He was Chesty Puller's immediate superior during the battle for Guadalcanal in 1942.
Denis Villeneuve did an amazing job with this one.
Del Toro about to drop a gem about working with the best, and this bitch interrupts with: "It's incredibly powerful, ya!"
The best bro! You still Aaron Halam from, "The Hunted" (2003). I love that movie and even bought the TOPS knife.
What an amazing movie. Congrats to you and your fellow actors for your outstanding work
the interviewer was like, "you DO think some drugs should be legalized though, right?"
way to ask a question with neutral intentions...
My favourite. Guy exudes cool and a real, authentic talent.
My favorite film this year
I have never heard of Benicio del Toro until Sicario. I am very impressed of his performance. Then i learned he has a lot acting awards. Now, he has my attention. One of the best among the best.
One of my favourite current actors. I can’t imagine Benicio not in Sicario.
This is the guy who should have muscled up and played Khan in the new Trek universe.
8digitPDX No question! Im sorry Cumberbatch but Del Toro would have made more sense
As much as I would have preferred a South Asian actor, Benicio Del Toro would have done justice to Ricardo Montalbán’s iconic role.
I agree. Why replace a hispanic actor with an english one?
Star trek would have ruin his career.
Such a great actor, one of his best performances.
so candid and hes just such a cool dude, AWESOME interview
Just love this guys talent ,i think he is underrated.
Love his smile
"But you do think drugs should be legalized right?" What???
I think she meant marijuana.
It was Emily's inexperience that made us feel that her POV was not good enough, thats why the switch to Benicios POV was so fluid, you almost want to crawl in his head and find out everything he knows.
the director did a great job with this movie
Benicio is a fantastic actor... Was phenomenal in Sicario
Benicio del toro is an excellent actor, even though hes not the typical pretty boy, hes got that exotic latin look about him, hes one of my favorite actors
Benecio nailed Sicario! really awesome film!
Nailed it.
They’re both so Good.
I can not believe I’m just seeing them.
The interviewer talks about how women don't get as much opportunity to play roles that males would often play. Then she goes:
"No dudes admit to liking Grease". Are you serious?
One of the few men that's 28 years my senior that'd i pork.
Get it gurl lol
Here I am then lol
I loved this movie. 4.5/5 for me.
#BenicioDelToro one of my favorite actors.. always takes on good roles.
this movie had my jaw on the floor for like two hours afterwards
The movie was badass totally caught me off guard I don't even have a clue what the title of the movie meant but damn it was one of the best cartel movie i've seen.
The bridge scene was probably my favorite scene in the whole movie. I originally didn't want to see the trailer cause you can always tell how the story is being told, but with Sicarios trailer, it did a complete 180 lol. Totally didn't expect the story to go how it did, I would love it if they did like a prequel on how Alejandro got involved in bring back Medellin.
I hope that the guys will make a sequel. Brolin and Del Toro were amazing. Make it happen please!
I've been Alejandro from Sicario for Halloween twice. I've gotten a few responses. Everyone else was extremely confused. Sad how people only watch blockbusters now. No matter good movie fans out there.
one of the coolest movies in the last 5 years.....
I'm late with this, i hope this gets back to Benicio. When i watch films i tend to feel what characters are feeling within that world. When i watch Benicio in that world, I cried from his world because i think something of his character lives in every father. We are mortal, we love our children our wives,our family. To get to the point that Benicio gets to in the film is not something to be proud of, we are human and years of memories, it hurts. Even animals feel the pain of loss. This is a dark, soulful, spiritual and deeply felt work of art. I think good and evil are on constant ends of a universal scale and our lives are where we discover which side we gravitate towards. At the end of our lives hopefully our deeds reveal our truest self.
A well-written script along side good actors 👏 It brings out the best in everyone
