So refreshing to see an actor actually interested in his role. So many movies nowadays feel like a burden on everyone involved including the viewer, and every interview just shows how much regret the actors have for being in them
To make a great actor, one needs to be super smart. Intelligence in truly understanding, empathizing and emulating the character you are playing. BDT epitomizes that. When he talks about Alejandro and his expression when he says he wouldnt want to mess with him, it says it all. He really studied his character to a T. That is why we the audience feel him so tremendously captivating and true to life. There are no contradictions anywhere in the portrayal, even to a minutest extent. It is really as if a real person named Alejandro who had those life experiences was doing what he was supposed to be doing to avenge his family.
Benicio is just the best ever. Wish the interviewer was better. Sicario is finally fully released everywhere! Super exciting haha I saw it at an advanced screening a couple of weeks ago before the nationwide release and I made a review video on my channel! It would be awesome if some of you guys watch it - and don't worry, there aren't any spoilers!
You're an idiot. DiCaprio is this generation's De Niro. During filming for The Departed, Scorcese stated that DiCaprio's acting versatility is similar to De Niro's.
@@CooManTunes You're the idiot. Cast and crew spout disingenuous bullshit in order to promote their project all the time. It's part of their job. DiCaprio, although I like and respect him as an actor, is not in the same league as Del Toro, even just in terms of versatility. He's good and he's watchable but he isn't great. I like to think of him as a thespian's Tom Cruise; bankable, dependable acting talent. That said, Del Toro is great but he can't stand up in the Brando, De Niro, Oldman bracket. The game's changed and that level of talent just isn't in demand anymore. The rationale being that the performance draws attention away from the piece and the piece cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. No one wants to back a film to that tune just to showcase virtuoso acting performances. No one goes to the cinema to watch good acting. Nowadays it's more about picking a killer script, director and d.o.p with relatable, bankable actors that _can_ act.
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 I was trying to use the word "killer" semi-satirically. Films like MCU on the shallow end of the spectrum and Nolan on the deeper end. Scripts, direction and photography that are all mind blowing in terms of the history of cinema but none of them focus on acting or or the human element. Just the spectacle or experience. It doesn't really add to cinema, it just extends it. Happily, there's plenty of cinema outside of Hollywood, but no doubt inspired by Hollywood, being made.
not even scripted!they (emily, benicio and dennis) didnt like the scripted version and talked 2 hours about it and then shot it!Benicio is a beast in this movie!just watched it 10 minutes ago!
if Benicio Del Toro does not win an Oscar for this movie, I will probably chug an entire 750ml bottle of Knob Creek Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey myself to drown the pain.
Now "Sicario" is fully released for everyone to see (as of this weekend) and I'm so happy that everyone will be able to experience Benicio's perfect performance. I saw an advanced screening of the film and made a review video on my channel - and I ended up mostly raving about Benicio for the few couple of minutes. You could check out my review if you like - and you should DEFINITELY check out Benicio in "Sicario" on the big screen! :) Feel free to comment under my review video as well - about Benicio or anything else related to the film - I LOVE talking about "Sicario" and I'd love to hear what other people think!
Benicio is absolutely incredible ! If it went on with 5 Sicario films .... I'm there 100% ! But bring the lady back guys ! She's tough and hard as nails ! She may not be a Wolf ! , but she's got a Damn good teacher in Benicios character. I thought Emily did a great job ! That writer is stuck on stupid !
Funny how the interviewer says the ending scene "you don't know which way he'd go". Seriously? The scene before he kills like ten guys by shooting them in the head, then before he gets his ultimate revenge, he kills two young kids and their mother. What makes you think he wouldn't have pulled the trigger on Emily Blunt's character?
+Jebi Nivens The reason he might not pull the trigger is because he says she reminds him of his daughter. He loved no one in the world more than her. He just spent god knows how long personally hunting down the people who killed her. My romantic nature would like to believe that he wouldn't have done it.
It wasn't even his subjective experience with the movie, he was just a bad interviewer. Listen to that whole exchange from his asking if alejandro would do it all the way to Benicio stumbling over his words saying "That's.. cool That's cool". lol. He just wasn't listening really to Benic the boss.
Benicio will be punished with maybe being nommed but certainly not allowed to win a 2nd Oscar,simply cause it involves Mexico and Drugs again and he won that time around...that the films and characters are basically night and day won´t matter to that fancy Oscar-crowd.
I have HBO , Showtime and Starz and Netflix and haven't seen this film on none of them . Amazon must have it . I ended up buying it at Best Buys for $7 because I heard a lot about it .
**SPOILERS** **SPOILERS** lol the interviewer wasn't really listening near the end. Asking if he thinks Alejandro would have pulled the trigger in the last scene, Benicio indicates that yes he's convinced he would have. "I don't think this guy pulls out the gun and then just puts it back." As in Alejandro never "bluffs" because he's always 100% serious. Benicio just essentially said "Yeah there's no ambiguity with this guy's threats/actions, he is 100% serious. He doesn't fuck around". Then the interviewer confusingly says "Well that's what I really like and what's great about your performance is you could not tell what he would do". Like bro seriously? Alejandro followed through on everything he had said, and he had ALREADY SHOT KATE once possibly twice in the border tunnel scene. Yeah obviously he knows she's wearing thick body armour that would certainly repel small arms fire, he still fucking shot her. Personally watching that last scene, 0% of the tension came from "Ohh jeezz will Alejandro possibly do such a bad thing oooohh nooo will he??" and 100% from "Oh fuck will Kate sign over her principles? Will she try and argue with him?" Kate had been the one facing tough moral decisions, and bit by bit her soul geting chewed away. /rant Idk, his opinon and subjective experience with the film is obviously his own thing that's cool. But objectively his interview/listening skills need improvement lol I mean Benicio starts stumbling over his words cause the guys contradicting him but implying like Benicio is agreeing with him? He doesn't know wtf to say lol so he says "yea.... thats.. cool, yeah that's cool"hahaha.
I guess cuz he's kind of a method actor. He said so in an interview before that when he does a movie so soon after just filming a different one. He gets reminded of his other characters in past films. He has to be conscious about it the back of his head or else a character will come out while filming a scene. Some actors carry their characters with them for a good 2 years before they completely drop the act.
the moment in the trailer for the next movie where he shoots that gun insanely fast out in the street to kill that guy is enough to make me want to see it. That was like a serious money shot of the entire trailer haah
Entre su performance de Traffic y la de Sicario hay kilómetros de diferencias, es otra energía, en lo personal no me gustó su rol en Sicario, no empatizo en nada con él, no me convenció como lo hizo en Traffic, todas las emociones de ese filme son magistrales, realismo puro.
Anyone that watched that movie knew he would have pulled the trigger. That was a silly question. He pulled her gun to the bottom of her chin and said she would be committing suicide if she didn't sign the papers. She knew he was not bluffing.
I think the character that Josh Brolin played was more devious and dangerous than Benicio del Toro. Benicio was out for revenge/justice. Brolin was in it because he enjoyed it.
Buy an island. On that island, drugs would be offered for a relatively affordable price. The island would have farms. People could earn money growing food, and use that money to buy the food and drugs. Light legalization of drugs throughout South America would also help. Allowing people to buy enough for personal consumption, and to grow, manufacture, and sell drugs in legitimate commercial operations would help decrease crime dramatically. If they set up special clinics on the edges of town, drugs addicts could congregate there, making them easier to police, and REHABILITATE. Cities in Canada have found that it's actually cheaper for their government to provide free housing to the homeless in a special city, because the resources are much more easy to distribute appropriately. If you legalize drugs, you strip the ability of underground organizations to easily profit from the sale of those drugs, because they simply won't be able to compete with corporations that have free-reign to manufacture their product en masse. The money you save from the war on drugs could be used to improve education, create after-school programs that draw children to learn rather than join street-gangs...etc. We obviously know now that military hardware and intelligence agencies are ineffective at stopping this, and at least in some cases, are intentionally trying to keep the issue unresolved. It's time for a change.
We can think actors as a whole are pompous or detached or whatever but I cannot imagine what it must take to BECOME someone else….. like a stone cole hitman
"Traffik" a British based story of the world connections on heroin trafficking is a much better explanation of the many issues. "Traffic" was a Hollywood rip off of the really good story.
Not really. When an actor gets into a character it has to "become" that person for a while. He needs to think of it as it was a real person, with real emotions, why would he do this or that, how that kind of person moves, or dresses, thinks, eats, the little gestures and details that make that character believable and not just an actor readnig a script... and they live with this character for months until the movie is over.
Nothing against Benicio Del Toro, I really like him as an actor, especially after The Usual Suspects, but that dude always looks high or has the look of a Next Morning After A Night Of Being High
So refreshing to see an actor actually interested in his role. So many movies nowadays feel like a burden on everyone involved including the viewer, and every interview just shows how much regret the actors have for being in them
Oscar for this guy. Incredible performance
+Matthew Brando He deserves it, and more! He is the best actor on screen in these days.
+Matthew Brando Should get nominated, but probably won't.
+Andrew Dodderidge That is the sad truth.
+Matthew Brando "...You will not survive here, you are not a wolf. This is the land of wolves", damn, Benicio!
I agree Oscar
This is the best actor of my generation, without a doubt!
@Stephen Strange you're 4 years late
I never thought he could play a deadlier killer than he did in the movie The Hunted but his role in this one blew me away. Oscar worthy!
Sakhele Ntaba what about way of the gun
give him an oscar. what a bloody great performance!!!!!!!!!!!
i think he should keep the beard, he looks more badass
Oscar for this dude!
I love this movie, I keep watching the scenes on CZcams over and over

He was fucking awesome! Oscar!!!!!!!!
Funny profile name
Benicio always plays great characters
He is a very intelligent actor. What an amazing performance. He is probably the most bad ass hitman I have ever seen portrayed in a movie. BRAVO!!!
This Actor made the film for me . Great performance
This movie was great and Benicio was a BOSS!
Benicio DelToro is as good as Brando, without all the baggage. Extremely good actor portraying all his characters.
Why does this guy look so fucking cool???
cause he is.
hahah true
Underwood95 Dr Gonzo
They don't call him the Puerto Rican Brad Pitt for nothing
Because he is

Intense, great movie. This actor was great, so real.
Reference the ending, in my viewpoint, it was clear, at least to me, that Alejandro would pull the trigger, so great acting by Benicio Del Toro!
OSCAR FOR BENICIO.
"I don't agree but I understand where he's coming from"
I'll use this reserve phychology next time I have an argument with someone 😂
I think he's this generation's DeNiro.
brettfavreify agreed
You're an idiot. DiCaprio is this generation's De Niro. During filming for The Departed, Scorcese stated that DiCaprio's acting versatility is similar to De Niro's.

That said, Del Toro is great but he can't stand up in the Brando, De Niro, Oldman bracket. The game's changed and that level of talent just isn't in demand anymore.

@@synchc Sadly these days there’s a lack of “killer scripts”
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 I was trying to use the word "killer" semi-satirically.
Films like MCU on the shallow end of the spectrum and Nolan on the deeper end.
Scripts, direction and photography that are all mind blowing in terms of the history of cinema but none of them focus on acting or or the human element. Just the spectacle or experience. It doesn't really add to cinema, it just extends it.

He's got a great head of hair!
This guy is such a versitale actor every part he plays he kills it awesome actor
HUGE FAN of Benicio Del Toro ! (Y)
Pride of Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷
Is it just me or is the background pretty noisy?
+aMozburger You're right. It is very noisy!
just u, idiot
In middle of the film I was like where is the "Sicario" but then at the end you find out, other than that good performance from Benicio.
+Randy Garcia The last scene with him and Emily is when it hit me, "there's the Sicario".
not even scripted!they (emily, benicio and dennis) didnt like the scripted version and talked 2 hours about it and then shot it!Benicio is a beast in this movie!just watched it 10 minutes ago!
They tell you in the middle of the film whos the sicario. Emily finds out hes from medellin cartels
lmao, the alternate version of this movie where Alejandro is opening a coffeeshop where he sells marijuana
Wtf is happening in the backround lol.
if Benicio Del Toro does not win an Oscar for this movie, I will probably chug an entire 750ml bottle of Knob Creek Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey myself to drown the pain.
i hope your okay

If it went on with 5 Sicario films .... I'm there 100% !
But bring the lady back guys !
She's tough and hard as nails !
She may not be a Wolf ! , but she's got a Damn good teacher in Benicios character.
I thought Emily did a great job !
That writer is stuck on stupid !
Oscar. Double the Oscar for Sicario Two. Excellent.
Filme excepcional. Grande enredo prefeito maravilhoso. Adoro ver sempre .
Sicario was soooooooooooooo GOOD!
he was great in the film
As he said, order is the best they could hope for.

I have HBO , Showtime and Starz and Netflix and haven't seen this film on none of them . Amazon must have it . I ended up buying it at Best Buys for $7 because I heard a lot about it .
So what'd you think of it?
He must be in 2nd part he was main reason this movie was awesome!!!
Great actor!
The modern day Western. Classic.
Amazing actor
Even when he's not acting. You're waiting for something intense to happen. lol
I agree with everyone that says he looks so cool. I think his rugged good looks act for him. lol
Refined Aggressive Actor.....good job
Awesome flick
One cool actor.
He meant, "The end justifies the means."
well willy interrogation! LOL

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alejandro looks like he's always in the movie when he's not in the movie.
He looks so much better with a beard and shorter hair like in the film! Lol
"your little girl,.....its nothing personal" "For me it is......Time to Meet God" Shots
i like!!!!
I liked the music. Very damning and fatalistic to match the themes
The main sound is jaws slowed down like 10 times. Very cool sound all these years later
A war on drugs is a war on humanity
his hair is cool
what a bad interviewer.
+Jaoo Asiz Show us how it's done!
What did Alejandro do to Guillermo in the interrogation room?

They should do like El salvador
Benicio is wearing a GShock square. Curious what model? 😆

i wouldn't mess with him ... lol
If he had only played the same character in The Last Jedi....
No. I would not mess with Alejandro.

Looks a little like Paul Muni.

Hmm that was agood song, I guess.
not so good since Ally Mc Beal.
He should go on the Joe Rogan podcast
How weird it must be to talk about a character as if it really is a person.

Damn...MANCRUSH!!
Drugs are not a complex issue at all. Many Western societies have solved it. Drugs use has a societal cause and a criminal symptom.
Adult Harry Styles?
He needs to get a nap...
Oh look! A talking head!
He should stick with scripts
great actor, fucking clueless otherwise
Nothing against Benicio Del Toro, I really like him as an actor, especially after The Usual Suspects, but that dude always looks high or has the look of a Next Morning After A Night Of Being High
Is he nervous or high? Is nobody listening?
