1
00:00:36,537 --> 00:00:38,306
So I went over
to Harold Becker and I said,

2
00:00:38,330 --> 00:00:39,582
"Listen, man, I’m not quitting.

3
00:00:39,665 --> 00:00:42,001
You can’t get me to quit,
you fucker."

4
00:00:42,084 --> 00:00:43,729
I’ll kick that guy’s ass
in the last scene.

5
00:00:43,753 --> 00:00:45,171
You know?

6
00:00:45,254 --> 00:00:47,673
So the next day, they said,
"No, you got to go."

7
00:00:49,341 --> 00:00:51,260
You ever been fired before?

8
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:52,803
- Fuckers.
- I’ve been fired.

9
00:00:52,887 --> 00:00:54,180
Yeah?

10
00:00:54,263 --> 00:00:56,307
I’ve almost been fired
from all of my movies.

11
00:00:56,390 --> 00:00:59,101
Every time, they start
looking for someone else.

12
00:01:02,021 --> 00:01:04,690

My name is Val Kilmer.

I’ve lived a magical life.

56
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:02,618
And I’ve captured
quite a bit of it.

57
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:09,959
I was the first guy I knew
to own a video camera.

58
00:04:13,462 --> 00:04:16,298
I have thousands of hours
of videotapes and film reels

59
00:04:16,382 --> 00:04:19,176
that I’ve shot
throughout my life and career.

60
00:04:21,512 --> 00:04:23,305
I’ve kept everything.

61
00:04:25,391 --> 00:04:27,476
And it’s been
sitting in boxes for years.

62
00:04:27,559 --> 00:04:29,228
Writing.

63
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,192
Hi, my name’s Val.

64
00:04:35,275 --> 00:04:36,735
Audition tapes.

65
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:42,449
Behind the scenes.

66
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:44,785
Hi, buddy.

67
00:04:44,868 --> 00:04:47,287
You look
strangely natural in that.

68
00:04:47,371 --> 00:04:48,872
Look what?

69
00:04:48,956 --> 00:04:52,710
You look
strangely natural in that.

70
00:04:55,754 --> 00:04:57,297
Home movies.

71
00:04:59,591 --> 00:05:02,219
Does that thing record
your voice, too?

72
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:03,887
Mm-hmm.

73
00:05:06,849 --> 00:05:08,976
Ideas for films.

74
00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:12,187
I’ve wanted to tell
a story about acting

75
00:05:12,271 --> 00:05:13,731
for a very long time.

76
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:19,319
About the place where you end

77
00:05:19,403 --> 00:05:21,780
and the character begins.

78
00:05:23,365 --> 00:05:26,910
About truth and illusion.

79
00:05:30,164 --> 00:05:33,459
Now that it’s more difficult
to speak,

80
00:05:33,542 --> 00:05:35,294
I want to tell my story
more than ever.

81
00:05:39,048 --> 00:05:40,883
A story about my life...

82
00:05:45,596 --> 00:05:47,556
that is also not my life.

83
00:05:55,773 --> 00:05:59,026
It’s like I’ve lived my life

84
00:06:00,152 --> 00:06:01,945
and

85
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:04,323
it’s sort of

86
00:06:04,406 --> 00:06:08,202
all in these boxes,

87
00:06:08,285 --> 00:06:09,828
but what

88
00:06:09,912 --> 00:06:12,164
is part of the

89
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:14,708
profound sadness

90
00:06:14,792 --> 00:06:16,794
is that

91
00:06:16,877 --> 00:06:19,588
I know it’s incomplete.

92
00:06:20,464 --> 00:06:22,633
As much as I’ve

93
00:06:23,675 --> 00:06:27,429
filmed and as hard
as I’ve tried,

94
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:30,516
there’s nothing I can do

95
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:32,976
to make

96
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:35,562
any of it understood.

97
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:37,689
I know that

98
00:06:37,773 --> 00:06:39,900
that’s not true,

99
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:42,986

108

This was no boating accident.

109
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:24,069
I know you want this fish dead.

110
00:07:24,153 --> 00:07:27,322
And I’ll find him.
And I’ll kill him.

111
00:07:27,406 --> 00:07:31,201
But not for no measly $3,000.

112
00:07:31,285 --> 00:07:35,497
I’ll find him for three,
but I’ll kill him for ten.

113
00:07:35,581 --> 00:07:37,624
$10,000?

114
00:07:37,708 --> 00:07:39,877
Ten boxes of crackers.

115
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,881
Once upon a time,
there were three brothers:

116
00:07:43,964 --> 00:07:45,841
Wesley,

117
00:07:45,924 --> 00:07:48,260
Mark

118
00:07:48,343 --> 00:07:51,138
and me, Val.

119
00:07:51,221 --> 00:07:53,849
Our father Eugene
was an industrialist

120
00:07:53,932 --> 00:07:55,434
and real estate developer.

121
00:07:55,517 --> 00:07:58,145
He named his company
Liberty Engineering

122
00:07:58,228 --> 00:08:01,273
after the greatest
large sculpture in America.

123
00:08:02,941 --> 00:08:05,152
Our mother Gladys
was a spiritual woman

124
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:07,613
who loved horses.

125
00:08:07,696 --> 00:08:10,199
It was their shared devotion
to Christian Science

126
00:08:10,282 --> 00:08:12,159
that brought
my parents together.

127
00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:15,120
They raised us
in Chatsworth, California,

128
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:18,373
deep in the San Fernando Valley,

129
00:08:18,457 --> 00:08:22,211
adjacent to Hollywood,
the movie capital of the world.

130
00:08:22,294 --> 00:08:25,589
My younger brother Wesley
was an aspiring director,

131
00:08:25,672 --> 00:08:29,176
an artistic genius whose
imagination dwarfed mine.

132
00:08:29,259 --> 00:08:31,595
He spent most of his time
making art...

133
00:08:33,055 --> 00:08:35,349
and remaking the films
he loved most.

134
00:08:38,143 --> 00:08:40,145
We lived down the street
from Roy Rogers’ ranch,

135
00:08:40,229 --> 00:08:42,481
and when it went up
for sale in 1971,

136
00:08:42,564 --> 00:08:45,150
my father bought it
and moved us in.

137
00:08:46,735 --> 00:08:49,988
Wesley turned the ranch
into a full-on movie set.

138
00:08:51,198 --> 00:08:53,617
Ha-ha! Push the button.

139
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:58,205
With this rocket, I intend
to cover the measured mile

140
00:08:58,288 --> 00:09:00,749
in approximately 12 seconds.

141
00:09:03,377 --> 00:09:05,045
Activate the rocket.

142
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:07,714
I wanted to act early on.

146
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:15,472
who trained on the stage
and went on

147
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:16,765
to light up the screen.

148
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:19,476
Stella!

149
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,146
I remember the first time
I made a real audience laugh.

150
00:09:24,648 --> 00:09:26,251
Don’t wake the bomb.

151
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:27,985
It was then and there
that I realized

152
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,987
- there was nothing better.
- That small bomb,

153
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:32,864
if it explodes, will blow up
all of New York.

154
00:09:32,948 --> 00:09:35,534
Also, Philadelphia and Boston.

155
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:37,035
And that was that.

156
00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:39,705
Repeat after me:

157
00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:42,874
- I...
- I...

158
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:45,210
- am...
- am...

159
00:09:45,294 --> 00:09:47,129
- listening!
- listening!

160
00:09:47,212 --> 00:09:50,716
- I don’t believe it!
- I don’t believe it!

161
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,759
This is the first time
for Chatsworth.

162
00:09:57,180 --> 00:09:59,266
If you believe
in something enough,

163
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:01,476
it becomes real.

164
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,396
After years of dreaming
about going to New York,

165
00:10:04,479 --> 00:10:06,565
I was the youngest kid
ever accepted

166
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:08,900
into drama school at Juilliard.

167
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:12,070
Mr. Kilmer, just...
just what did you feel

168
00:10:12,154 --> 00:10:14,072
at the time when they said

169
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:16,908
Tales from Chatsworth
is the play?

170
00:10:16,992 --> 00:10:19,369
All I felt
was this numbing sensation

171
00:10:19,453 --> 00:10:22,539
in my left ear saying,
"We won!"

172
00:10:30,213 --> 00:10:32,758
I was about to start
school in New York

173
00:10:32,841 --> 00:10:34,760
when I had a dream.

174
00:10:38,221 --> 00:10:41,141
In it, I was talking to
my high school girlfriend Mare

175
00:10:41,224 --> 00:10:44,061
and her mom about death.

176
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:46,188
Her mom said it wasn’t
something she feared

177
00:10:46,271 --> 00:10:49,649
because it was where
she would meet her creator.

178
00:10:51,902 --> 00:10:53,612
I woke from that dream
to a phone call

179
00:10:53,695 --> 00:10:56,823
from my older brother Mark
telling me that Wesley

180
00:10:56,907 --> 00:11:01,703
had an epileptic fit
and drowned in our Jacuzzi.

181
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,710
He was 15.

182
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,176
The sky wept.

183
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,058
No more home videos.

184
00:11:23,141 --> 00:11:25,727
No more makeshift plays.

185
00:11:25,811 --> 00:11:30,732
My confidant had
disappeared into dust.

186
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:36,822
And our family
was never the same again.

187
00:11:56,299 --> 00:11:57,509
Hi.

188
00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:01,179
I’m meeting the director
of the drama division

189
00:12:01,263 --> 00:12:04,307
to show my son the school.

190
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:07,811
When I finally started school,

191
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,855
I was raw with grief.

192
00:12:17,737 --> 00:12:22,159
I put Wesley’s drawings up all
over my apartment to help me.

193
00:12:28,373 --> 00:12:30,041
Juilliard was tough.

194
00:12:30,125 --> 00:12:32,377
The courses were rigorous,
and it was made clear to us

195
00:12:32,461 --> 00:12:36,298
on the first day, whatever
we thought we knew was wrong.

196
00:12:39,634 --> 00:12:42,095
When did you write
a volume of poetry

197
00:12:42,179 --> 00:12:46,141
called My Edens After Burns?

198
00:12:46,224 --> 00:12:48,185
’87, ’88.

199
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:50,812
There’s a poem in here
called "Acting Class."

200
00:12:50,896 --> 00:12:53,273
"These acting scenes
are death pennies

201
00:12:53,356 --> 00:12:56,651
"hanging over my head.

202
00:12:56,735 --> 00:12:59,446
"But we’re all friends here,
sitting in chairs

203
00:12:59,529 --> 00:13:01,907
"designed by Satan...

204
00:13:01,990 --> 00:13:05,076
"a million miles away
from this pontificator

205
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,289
juicing over the eternal springs
of moment-to-moment acting."

206
00:13:14,002 --> 00:13:16,588
- She was so hard on us.
- She was hard?

207
00:13:16,671 --> 00:13:19,216
We were schooled
in everything: Euripides,

208
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:21,801
Chekov,
and Shakespeare, of course.

209
00:13:21,885 --> 00:13:23,261
There you go, Val.

210
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:24,971
Here’s your name.

211
00:13:25,055 --> 00:13:27,098
Right under...

212
00:13:28,975 --> 00:13:32,020
- Do you know who that is?
- I do not, no.

213
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:33,939
That’s a famous actress,

214
00:13:34,022 --> 00:13:36,066
Kelly McGillis.

215
00:13:38,485 --> 00:13:40,588
- Does this look familiar?
- It sure does.

216
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:42,405
This is cool.

217
00:13:42,489 --> 00:13:45,033
There was no playwriting
program at the time,

218
00:13:45,116 --> 00:13:48,203
which was odd,
so we started one.

219
00:13:48,286 --> 00:13:50,497
We wrote a play called
How It All Began,

220
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:52,374
based on the memoir
of Michael Baumann,

221
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:54,459
a former leftist
German militant.

222
00:13:54,543 --> 00:13:55,961
Well, now,

223
00:13:56,044 --> 00:13:58,630
Michael Baumann will
be able to tell his story.

224
00:13:58,713 --> 00:14:00,674
The play was about terrorism,

225
00:14:00,757 --> 00:14:03,593
a topic as relevant
as ever today.

226
00:14:05,345 --> 00:14:07,889
Before the Central Committee
of the Roaming Hash Rebels

227
00:14:07,973 --> 00:14:11,643
or anything like it existed,
I was a perfectly normal person.

228
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:13,371
And then I got this feeling
from it that’s like,

229
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:15,397
just like the Rolling Stones,
like, you know,

230
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,898
it’s a downtowner!

231
00:14:16,982 --> 00:14:19,317
We dreamed
that play into existence

232
00:14:19,401 --> 00:14:23,363
and I experienced the joy of
performing my own words onstage.

233
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,924
- It’s-it’s abstract.
- Abstract.

234
00:14:24,948 --> 00:14:26,908
It was life-changing.

235
00:14:26,992 --> 00:14:29,160
You can’t look at
any one element in isolation

236
00:14:29,244 --> 00:14:31,246
and say this is
the only thing that’s true.

237
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:33,248
The play was such a success

238
00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:35,792
that we were invited to
perform it at the public theater

239
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,128
after graduation.

240
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,547
As the lead,
it was my first step toward

241
00:14:40,630 --> 00:14:43,049
becoming a young theater star
in the city.

242
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:06,114
Here we are, filming ourselves.

243
00:15:06,197 --> 00:15:10,952
The date is April 3, 1983.

244
00:15:14,205 --> 00:15:15,832
Two years after graduation,

245
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:17,500
I get my first big break

246
00:15:17,584 --> 00:15:20,920
on the New York stage
in a play called Slab Boys.

247
00:15:25,842 --> 00:15:27,844
But after being given the lead,

248
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:29,846
I was asked by the director
if I would mind

249
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:33,600
playing the second lead because
Kevin Bacon was available.

250
00:15:35,685 --> 00:15:37,854
Come on, man.

251
00:15:37,937 --> 00:15:39,731
Is that, uh, is that
a video camera?

252
00:15:39,814 --> 00:15:42,442
- It’s rolling, yeah.
- Oh, that’s really cool, Val.

253
00:15:42,525 --> 00:15:44,361
That... that is boss.

254
00:15:44,444 --> 00:15:46,154
Do we have a television here?

255
00:15:46,237 --> 00:15:48,281
Then I was asked
to play the third lead

256
00:15:48,365 --> 00:15:51,242
because Sean Penn was available.

257
00:15:51,326 --> 00:15:56,915
♪ There’s a moon out tonight ♪

258
00:15:59,709 --> 00:16:02,295
♪ That I adore. ♪

259
00:16:02,379 --> 00:16:05,674
That’s gonna be worth
some money.

260
00:16:05,757 --> 00:16:09,678
Now, what I’d like you to do
is when I leave,

261
00:16:09,761 --> 00:16:11,971
I want you to get
as close as you can.

262
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:13,431
You only have a couple of feet.

263
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,600
And zoom in on the box.

264
00:16:15,684 --> 00:16:18,937
And then you’ll hear me say,
"I’ll take a tea, please,"

265
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:22,399
onstage, while Mark and Cheryl,
my brother and...

266
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:25,860
you know who you are...
well, they’ll be watching it.

267
00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:27,445
Bye.

268
00:16:27,529 --> 00:16:29,447
About to go onstage.

269
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:31,533
Val’s just about
to make his entrance.

270
00:16:31,616 --> 00:16:33,118
- Jack.
- Hi, Archie.

271
00:16:33,201 --> 00:16:35,203
- And this is Phil McCann.
- Howdy, Andy.

272
00:16:35,286 --> 00:16:37,080
And last but
by all means least...

273
00:16:37,163 --> 00:16:40,166
Hector McKenzie...

274
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:42,627
I went from being
the star of the play

275
00:16:42,711 --> 00:16:45,880
to playing the character
that was the butt of every joke.

276
00:16:45,964 --> 00:16:50,593
It wasn’t an easy pill
to swallow, but I did it.

277
00:16:50,677 --> 00:16:52,220
Whoa!

278
00:16:52,303 --> 00:16:53,989
It’s true that
there are no small parts,

279
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,141
only small actors.

280
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:59,394
It’s also true that not all
characters are created equal,

281
00:16:59,477 --> 00:17:01,688
and it became clear to me
that my mission should be

282
00:17:01,771 --> 00:17:05,567
to chase down those roles
that would transform me.

283
00:17:17,620 --> 00:17:22,542
I’m really determined
to do Hamlet...

284
00:17:23,710 --> 00:17:27,172
by about 27, maybe 28.

285
00:17:27,255 --> 00:17:29,257
I really am.

286
00:17:30,717 --> 00:17:33,803
I’m gonna work on it very hard
and be very dedicated to it,

287
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:38,057
just like
a weekend camp counselor.

288
00:17:41,352 --> 00:17:44,856
In Hamlet, Shakespeare
suggests it’s the actor’s job

289
00:17:44,939 --> 00:17:47,984
to hold a mirror up to nature.

290
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:52,822
To capture everlasting truth
through an illusion.

291
00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:55,992
What we strive for as actors
is a performance so true

292
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:59,162
that the audience can
see themselves in it.

293
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:02,916
Good, bad or ugly.

294
00:18:12,300 --> 00:18:18,223
Oh, that this too, too solid
flesh would melt,

295
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:20,767
thaw...

296
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:25,897
and resolve itself into a dew.

297
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:28,233
Oh...

298
00:18:32,403 --> 00:18:36,741
that this too, too solid
flesh would melt,

299
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:38,535
thaw...

300
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:44,290
and resolve itself into a dew.

301
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:46,292
Oh...

302
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:51,297
that this too, too solid
flesh would melt,

303
00:18:51,381 --> 00:18:55,343
thaw and resolve itself
into a dew.

304
00:18:57,512 --> 00:18:59,180
That this...

305
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:03,518
too, too solid flesh would melt,

306
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:08,356
thaw and resolve itself
into a dew.

307
00:19:09,983 --> 00:19:12,026
Or that the Everlasting
had not fixed

308
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:14,529
his canon
’gainst self-slaughter.

309
00:19:14,612 --> 00:19:16,823
Oh, God.

310
00:19:16,906 --> 00:19:18,116
God!

311
00:19:18,199 --> 00:19:20,785
Your body was literally, uh, um,

312
00:19:20,869 --> 00:19:22,704
responding to
what was happening.

313
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:25,707
Turmoil was going on inside...

314
00:19:25,790 --> 00:19:28,585
your head this time.

315
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:32,881
Um... why such
an extreme response?

316
00:19:33,923 --> 00:19:35,508
Uh, these words,
when he says that,

317
00:19:35,592 --> 00:19:37,594
"I don’t want to live anymore,
I wish I was dead,"

318
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:40,513
I’ve-I’ve never thought
those thoughts, really.

319
00:19:40,597 --> 00:19:42,891
I’ve never...
and I took them to be true.

320
00:19:42,974 --> 00:19:44,350
It’s not just like a...

321
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:46,074
"Fuck, I wish I was dead."
Or, "I wish..."

322
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:49,814
There is no way,
absolutely no way

323
00:19:49,898 --> 00:19:52,692
you never thought
those thoughts.

324
00:19:52,775 --> 00:19:55,653
There is no way.

325
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:58,531
Every actor
must finally accept that.

326
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,283
Well, yeah,
in the context of what...

327
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:02,952
of the situation where
the character expresses...

328
00:20:03,036 --> 00:20:05,121
Yes, so you had those thoughts

329
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,581
even as
this character expresses.

330
00:20:06,664 --> 00:20:08,207
Yes, you’ve had
these experiences.

331
00:20:08,291 --> 00:20:10,793
Yes, you have had this response.

332
00:20:10,877 --> 00:20:13,212
There are no limitations

333
00:20:13,296 --> 00:20:16,966
to the actor’s capacity...
the creative capacity...

334
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:19,469
to have experienced
even that which is not

335
00:20:19,552 --> 00:20:22,931
a conscious experience in your
life, and it’s for this reason

336
00:20:23,014 --> 00:20:26,601
that I have held firmly
to the belief

337
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:30,355
that there never is a need
for substitution.

338
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:33,149
Because, "I never had
this situation in my life.

339
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,984
I never experienced this."

340
00:20:35,068 --> 00:20:36,903
There is nothing

341
00:20:36,986 --> 00:20:39,948
that you have not
experienced and known.

346
00:20:57,924 --> 00:21:01,177

To this day, I have trouble

explaining
what the film is about.

352

who fell in love

with a girl he met
in a restaurant,

354

who then turned out to be
the daughter of

355

a kidnapped scientist,

last seen on a deserted island

00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:21,114
and who turned out
15 years later

358
00:21:21,197 --> 00:21:23,282
to be the leader
of the French Underground.

359
00:21:23,366 --> 00:21:24,617
I know. It...

360
00:21:24,701 --> 00:21:27,954
It all sounds like
some bad movie.

361
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:35,753
I approached the character
the only way I knew how,

362
00:21:35,837 --> 00:21:37,714
which was with everything I had.

363
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,508
♪ How silly can you get,
yeah, yeah... ♪

364
00:21:40,591 --> 00:21:42,635
I spent four months learning
how to play the guitar,

365
00:21:42,719 --> 00:21:44,637
but when I got to set,

366
00:21:44,721 --> 00:21:48,975
the directors thought
it would be funnier if I mimed.

367
00:21:49,058 --> 00:21:50,768
They watched me
make my fingers bleed

368
00:21:50,852 --> 00:21:52,603
just to see the look on my face

369
00:21:52,687 --> 00:21:54,814
when they told me,
"We like it better

370
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:57,692
when you can’t play,
like Elvis."

371
00:21:57,775 --> 00:22:00,570
We filmed the movie in London,

372
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,488
but it was my initiation
into Hollywood.

373
00:22:02,572 --> 00:22:04,157
♪ Cross my heart... ♪

374
00:22:07,744 --> 00:22:09,620
I miss London bad.

375
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,914
It’s just, you know,

376
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:14,292
the first big city I came to

377
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:17,378
after New York.

378
00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:24,552
While I was filming,
I stayed in an apartment

379
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:27,180
just down the street from
the famous Royal Court Theatre.

380
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:32,226
Great actors like
Laurence Olivier

381
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:34,896
and Alec Guinness
have graced that stage.

382
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:38,191
At the time,
an unknown Danny Boyle

383
00:22:38,274 --> 00:22:40,818
was directing a play there
called The Genius,

384
00:22:40,902 --> 00:22:43,488
and I went eager for
some culture and inspiration.

385
00:22:43,571 --> 00:22:45,156
I immediately fell in love

386
00:22:45,239 --> 00:22:47,241
with a young actress in it
named Joanne Whalley.

387
00:22:50,453 --> 00:22:52,997
I watched her in that play more
times than I’d like to admit.

388
00:22:53,081 --> 00:22:55,333
And one night, I followed
her and her cast mates

389
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:58,127
to a local pub, but I was
too intimidated and shy

390
00:22:58,211 --> 00:23:00,296
to introduce myself.

391
00:23:00,379 --> 00:23:01,672
She was brilliant.

392
00:23:01,756 --> 00:23:04,759
♪ And love me tonight... ♪

393
00:23:04,842 --> 00:23:07,553
And I was in town making fluff.

394
00:23:30,159 --> 00:23:33,496
Fuck. This is our set.

395
00:23:33,579 --> 00:23:36,249
Welcome aboard, actors.

396
00:23:51,514 --> 00:23:55,101
Here it goes.
The rails are up.

397
00:24:06,237 --> 00:24:07,697
Rick.

398
00:24:13,244 --> 00:24:15,580
And follow me.

399
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:19,125
Believe it or not,

400
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:21,878
I didn’t want
to do Top Gun at first.

401
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:24,088
I felt the script was silly,

402
00:24:24,172 --> 00:24:25,673
and disliked
warmongering in film.

403
00:24:28,176 --> 00:24:30,636
But I was under contract
with the studio,

404
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,764
so I didn’t
really have a choice.

405
00:24:33,848 --> 00:24:35,933
It was the director
Tony Scott’s colorful vision

406
00:24:36,017 --> 00:24:38,895
and energy that made
the whole experience enjoyable.

407
00:24:40,271 --> 00:24:43,608
It was hard
not to be seduced by it.

408
00:24:51,407 --> 00:24:55,077
On the page, there was very
little to the character Iceman.

409
00:24:55,161 --> 00:25:00,291
♪ I don’t like the film,
I don’t like the film... ♪

410
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:03,127
So I attempted to make him real.

411
00:25:03,211 --> 00:25:05,379
♪ Play it all back,
and I don’t like... ♪

412
00:25:05,463 --> 00:25:07,465
I manifested a backstory for him

413
00:25:07,548 --> 00:25:10,384
where he had a father
who ignored him,

414
00:25:10,468 --> 00:25:12,970
and as a result,
was driven by the need

415
00:25:13,054 --> 00:25:14,972
to be perfect in every way.

416
00:25:15,056 --> 00:25:16,849
♪ But I like the actors... ♪

417
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:21,437
This obsession with perfection
is what made him so arrogant.

418
00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:31,614
That was great.
That was a good shot.

419
00:25:31,697 --> 00:25:33,342
I would purposely
play up the rivalry

420
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:35,910
between Tom’s character and mine
off-screen as well.

421
00:25:35,993 --> 00:25:38,579
And what ended up happening
is the actors,

422
00:25:38,663 --> 00:25:42,208
in true Method fashion,
split into two distinct camps.

423
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:44,669
You had Maverick and Goose
on one side

424
00:25:44,752 --> 00:25:48,923
and Slider, Hollywood, Wolfman
and me, Iceman, on the other.

425
00:25:49,006 --> 00:25:52,802
It was fun to play up the
conflict between our characters,

426
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:55,972
but in reality, I’ve always
thought of Tom as a friend,

427
00:25:56,055 --> 00:25:58,724
and we’ve always
supported each other.

428
00:25:58,808 --> 00:26:01,185
- It was Val.
- Val, that smelled great.

429
00:26:01,269 --> 00:26:03,104
- Great.
- Hey.

430
00:26:03,187 --> 00:26:05,106
Inserts.

431
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:07,108
Inserts can be valuable.

432
00:26:10,111 --> 00:26:12,989
Each night after wrap,
our camp would party hard

433
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:14,573

but because we had
that experience in common,

438
00:26:24,834 --> 00:26:27,086

the box office went "pow!"

00:27:35,696 --> 00:27:37,531
None of us knew at the time

466
00:27:37,615 --> 00:27:40,618
what a crazy commercial success
the film would be.

467
00:27:40,701 --> 00:27:43,204
All of a sudden,

468
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:46,290

So, as you have seen now
several times,

489
00:28:46,183 --> 00:28:51,564
I can’t speak
without plugging this hole.

490
00:28:51,647 --> 00:28:53,107
This is because

491
00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:54,859
they put a piece of plastic

492
00:28:54,942 --> 00:28:57,862
down my breathing tube,

493
00:28:57,945 --> 00:29:00,906
which is also,
as everyone knows,

494
00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:03,117
where your food goes down,

495
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,204
and because the hole
is so small,

496
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:10,458
you have to make a choice,

497
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:13,544
when you have this
kind of problem, whether you

498
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:15,296
breathe or eat.

499
00:29:15,379 --> 00:29:18,340
Obviously, if you can’t breathe,
you can’t eat.

500
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:19,967

00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:21,844

Oh... don’t. Don’t, Val.

509
00:29:47,328 --> 00:29:50,581
My mom filed for divorce
when I was eight.

510
00:29:50,664 --> 00:29:52,249
My father had several affairs,

511
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:54,668
and my mother finally left him
because of it.

512
00:29:54,752 --> 00:29:56,253
She’s trying to hide.

513
00:29:56,337 --> 00:29:58,088
My father used
his power and money

514
00:29:58,172 --> 00:30:00,257
to win custody
of my brothers and I.

515
00:30:00,341 --> 00:30:02,176
You can tell everybody it was...

516
00:30:02,259 --> 00:30:04,428
it was the Swedish cooking.

517
00:30:04,512 --> 00:30:08,015
Growing up,
Mom was as enigmatic to me

518
00:30:08,098 --> 00:30:10,226
as Ingrid Bergman,

519
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:12,228
who was also Swedish.

520
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:14,813
She was strong but aloof,

521
00:30:14,897 --> 00:30:17,900
which made me seek out
her approval and love even more.

522
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:20,528
Carla’s got eight grandkids.

523
00:30:20,611 --> 00:30:22,571
And they’re all darling.

524
00:30:22,655 --> 00:30:25,741
After the divorce, she
moved to Wickenburg, Arizona,

525
00:30:25,824 --> 00:30:28,953
and married Bill,
the love of her life.

526
00:30:29,036 --> 00:30:33,040
That’s not fair,
Val Kilmer, you turkey.

527
00:30:40,756 --> 00:30:42,883
Bill was the life of the party,

528
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:44,969
who loved to drink
till he slurred

529
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:47,471
and told dirty jokes
that my mom loved to laugh at

530
00:30:47,555 --> 00:30:50,933
and then would admonish with,
"Oh, Bill."

531
00:30:55,104 --> 00:30:57,106
Yeah, yeah, get it, get, get!

532
00:30:57,189 --> 00:30:59,775
I didn’t take to him
right off the bat.

533
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:03,654
I eventually came to recognize
what a good soul he was.

534
00:31:03,737 --> 00:31:06,532
Hello.

535
00:31:06,615 --> 00:31:09,910
I think I’ll have
another Diet Coke.

536
00:31:16,917 --> 00:31:19,587
My mother rarely shared
her personal feelings,

537
00:31:19,670 --> 00:31:21,547
but I always
felt connected to her

538
00:31:21,630 --> 00:31:24,842
through the faith
that she passed on to me.

539
00:31:24,925 --> 00:31:26,927
That faith has helped me weather

540
00:31:27,011 --> 00:31:30,222
some of life’s
most devastating hardships.

541
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:39,023
I used to hate the Valley
with an absolute passion.

542
00:31:40,858 --> 00:31:42,276
I hate it.

543
00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:45,487
It’s so, uh...

544
00:31:45,571 --> 00:31:46,780
it’s the rim of hell.

545
00:31:46,864 --> 00:31:49,533
It’s where hell begins,
right here.

546
00:31:49,617 --> 00:31:51,452
If you look over the edge,

547
00:31:51,535 --> 00:31:53,579
you can look down into hell.

548
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:02,421
I haven’t been out here
in 15 years.

549
00:32:02,504 --> 00:32:06,175
The last time
I was out here was making

550
00:32:06,258 --> 00:32:10,679
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
with Robert Downey Jr.

551
00:32:12,222 --> 00:32:14,141
That house was there,

552
00:32:14,224 --> 00:32:17,227
but the rest
of these houses weren’t here,

553
00:32:17,311 --> 00:32:20,147
and my dad
bought all the property

554
00:32:20,230 --> 00:32:21,230
and

555
00:32:21,273 --> 00:32:23,734
sold each one of the lots

556
00:32:23,817 --> 00:32:26,195
so he could

557
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:29,365
decide who his neighbors
were gonna be.

558
00:32:30,199 --> 00:32:32,868
This is my old house.

559
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:35,037
The second house.

560
00:32:37,831 --> 00:32:40,626
It’s full of death.

561
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:52,554
Dad blamed himself
for Wesley’s death.

562
00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:55,683
Wesley was under his care,
and he wasn’t as strict

563
00:32:55,766 --> 00:32:57,226
as he probably should have been

564
00:32:57,309 --> 00:32:59,353
about making him take
his epilepsy pills.

565
00:32:59,436 --> 00:33:02,523
Moses and his band
of faithful followers.

566
00:33:04,692 --> 00:33:07,069
We’re coming
to the promised land.

567
00:33:08,237 --> 00:33:11,407
That’s over Jordan
and beyond the Red Sea.

568
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:13,117
♪ Look over Jordan ♪

569
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,494

- Just outside of Egypt.

570
00:33:15,577 --> 00:33:18,872
♪ Coming for to carry me home? ♪

571
00:33:29,383 --> 00:33:33,846
After Wesley died, all of
my father’s charisma vanished,

572
00:33:33,929 --> 00:33:37,933
and he became a detached
and vacant version of himself.

573
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:49,319
What you thinking about?

574
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:53,490
I’m thinking about
how nice it is to be away from

575
00:33:53,574 --> 00:33:56,118
the civilization called
Los Angeles.

576
00:33:58,036 --> 00:33:59,955
Life seems to have
more meaning out here

577
00:34:00,038 --> 00:34:02,750
if you can just get connected
to it, huh?

578
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:06,587
His finances had also
taken a turn for the worse.

579
00:34:06,670 --> 00:34:09,131
But he was unwilling
to give up his dream:

580
00:34:09,214 --> 00:34:11,467
becoming one of California’s
biggest land barons.

581
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:13,469
So he asked for my help.

582
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:16,805
After starring in a few films,
I’d begun to make my own money

583
00:34:16,889 --> 00:34:19,141
and was asked to cosign
on his loans.

584
00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:20,851
That’s our property line
right there?

585
00:34:20,934 --> 00:34:23,228
Yeah, that’s the property.
This is lot number three.

586
00:34:23,312 --> 00:34:25,272
I wanted to be a good son to him

587
00:34:25,355 --> 00:34:27,357
and agreed
without much hesitation.

588
00:34:27,441 --> 00:34:29,943
My father bought all of this.

589
00:34:30,027 --> 00:34:32,321
All of this.

590
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:42,372
Come over, Val,
so we can show you...

591
00:34:42,456 --> 00:34:43,999
- Okay.
- what we’re doing here.

592
00:34:44,082 --> 00:34:45,292
Good deal.

593
00:34:45,375 --> 00:34:47,255
So, we’re coming here
with a ten-foot...

594
00:34:47,336 --> 00:34:49,505
I gave my father
power of attorney,

595
00:34:49,588 --> 00:34:51,924
and he put my name
on over 20 phantom companies

596
00:34:52,007 --> 00:34:55,177
that were shells
in order to avoid taxes.

597
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:58,972
He hoped it would work out,
but when it didn’t,

598
00:34:59,056 --> 00:35:01,225
I had to make a choice:

599
00:35:01,308 --> 00:35:03,435
sue my own father

600
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:06,855
or write a check
for everything I had.

601
00:35:06,939 --> 00:35:10,692
I wrote the check
and got back to work.

602
00:35:18,367 --> 00:35:20,369
Whoa.

603
00:35:23,664 --> 00:35:26,959
What are you staring at?

604
00:35:38,804 --> 00:35:42,015
A few years after first
seeing her perform in London,

605
00:35:42,099 --> 00:35:45,143
fate miraculously cast
Joanne Whalley and I together

606
00:35:45,227 --> 00:35:46,937
in the movie Willow.

607
00:35:47,020 --> 00:35:50,482
I fell in love with her
all over again.

It’s too late to stop now, Val.

615
00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:10,460
- No, I-I’m fine.
- All right.

616
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:12,337

620
00:36:24,308 --> 00:36:26,977
My father was born in Texas,

621
00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:30,397
but raised on Native American
land in New Mexico.

622
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,691
When we were kids, he brought
my brothers and I there

623
00:36:32,774 --> 00:36:35,986
to visit my grandfather’s grave.

624
00:36:36,069 --> 00:36:39,615
That day, something deep
in my spirit awoke

625
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,242
and New Mexico
became home to me.

626
00:36:42,326 --> 00:36:45,078
Joanne agreed
to make it hers as well,

627
00:36:45,162 --> 00:36:49,458
and we decided to build
a beautiful life there together.

628
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,418
This is the reason I’m here,

629
00:36:51,501 --> 00:36:53,837
and it’s the reason
you’re here. - What?

630
00:36:53,921 --> 00:36:55,881
My daddy, Gene Kilmer.

631
00:36:55,964 --> 00:36:59,551
He spawned me now
some 28 years ago.

632
00:36:59,635 --> 00:37:01,678
- Yeah, about that.
- Mm-hmm.

633
00:37:01,762 --> 00:37:04,056
Well, we’re
gonna go cut the cake, Pop.

634
00:37:04,139 --> 00:37:06,183

Okay.

642
00:38:42,237 --> 00:38:46,450
He’s freaked out and he said
he saw the bogeyman, okay?

643
00:38:46,533 --> 00:38:50,078
So I took it away for him.
That’s all.

644
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:52,039
I took it away.

645
00:38:52,122 --> 00:38:54,124
That’s all I’m saying.

646
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:57,836
Though I had starred
in a few films,

647
00:38:57,919 --> 00:39:00,839
I was hardly walking
in Brando’s footsteps.

648
00:39:00,922 --> 00:39:03,508
The best character roles
were few and far between.

649
00:39:05,010 --> 00:39:07,137
So I’d go out of my way
to make audition tapes

650
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:09,681
for directors
that I wanted to work with,

651
00:39:09,765 --> 00:39:12,017
for roles that I wanted to play.

652
00:39:14,603 --> 00:39:18,023
Marines are not allowed to die
without permission.

653
00:39:18,106 --> 00:39:19,983
’Cause we are...

654
00:39:21,485 --> 00:39:23,528
government property.

655
00:39:23,612 --> 00:39:25,655
I made multiple tapes
for Stanley Kubrick

656
00:39:25,739 --> 00:39:27,949
when I heard he was making
Full Metal Jacket.

657
00:39:28,033 --> 00:39:29,409
I’m gonna give you
about four takes

658
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:30,660
with some different voices.

659
00:39:32,662 --> 00:39:35,165
I sure do like shooting people.

660
00:39:35,248 --> 00:39:38,376
I sure do like shooting people.

661
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,800
I sure do like shooting people.

662
00:39:44,883 --> 00:39:47,385
I sure do like killing people.

663
00:39:47,469 --> 00:39:51,348
I even flew 6,000 miles
to hand-deliver it in person.

664
00:39:51,431 --> 00:39:54,059
I’m in England now for
a couple of days because I made

665
00:39:54,142 --> 00:39:57,938
a film here last year
and I still have a ticket back.

666
00:39:58,021 --> 00:40:01,024
And I thought
that I would come by and...

667
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:04,361
see how you felt about this.

668
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:07,864
I also made a film
for Martin Scorsese,

669
00:40:07,948 --> 00:40:10,367
where I played Henry Hill
around the time of Goodfellas.

670
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:12,285
The feds spent so much
money to hook me.

671
00:40:12,369 --> 00:40:14,704
They had wiretaps,
surveillance, helicopters.

672
00:40:14,788 --> 00:40:17,207
They had a list
a mile long for him.

673
00:40:17,290 --> 00:40:19,060
I had a lot of money
out on the street to collect,

674
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:20,585
several scores to wrap up.

675
00:40:20,669 --> 00:40:23,547
I mean, I was really scrambling
the last days there.

676
00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:25,674
It was very dangerous.

677
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:28,176
Those attempts didn’t work.

678
00:40:28,260 --> 00:40:31,388
But when I heard they were
making a Doors movie,

679
00:40:31,471 --> 00:40:33,765
not playing Jim
was not an option.

680
00:40:34,975 --> 00:40:38,520

00:40:43,150 --> 00:40:45,861

the producers, and I was given

687
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:01,334
the character that I would live
in for the next year of my life.

688
00:41:01,418 --> 00:41:02,836

689
00:41:02,919 --> 00:41:05,797

Might be death.

697
00:41:24,316 --> 00:41:27,861
I would watch videos
to study Jim’s movements...

698
00:41:39,497 --> 00:41:41,333
and memorize them
so the way he moved

699
00:41:41,416 --> 00:41:44,377

He wore
these leather pants for years,

708
00:42:11,446 --> 00:42:13,281
so I wore them
as long as I could,

709
00:42:13,365 --> 00:42:15,325
which was about a year.

710
00:42:15,408 --> 00:42:19,913
For Joanne, my wife,
it was total hell.

711
00:42:21,831 --> 00:42:25,543
Home was just
another place to rehearse.

712

00:42:58,326 --> 00:43:00,287
fleeting

721
00:43:00,370 --> 00:43:02,664
ethereal truth.

722
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:08,044
I think it’s Yeats who said,

723
00:43:08,128 --> 00:43:09,879
I’m paraphrasing, but

724
00:43:09,963 --> 00:43:11,506
the idea is

725
00:43:13,049 --> 00:43:17,262
you see a tree
and you observe a truth

726
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:19,723
about the tree.

727
00:43:20,807 --> 00:43:22,142
You see a tree,

728
00:43:22,225 --> 00:43:25,312
and you observe a truth
about the tree.

729
00:43:25,395 --> 00:43:27,063
And you’re hit with it...

730
00:43:27,147 --> 00:43:29,566
And you’re hit with it...

731
00:43:29,649 --> 00:43:32,319
the magic of the tree.

732
00:43:32,402 --> 00:43:34,863
The magic of the tree.

733
00:43:34,946 --> 00:43:36,823
It’s a spiritual thing

734
00:43:36,906 --> 00:43:39,492
beyond the physical life-form
of the tree.

735
00:43:39,576 --> 00:43:42,037
So, then you write and write

736
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,290
and write
about the form of the tree

737
00:43:45,373 --> 00:43:49,502
and the life of the tree
and the spirit of it...

738
00:43:51,671 --> 00:43:55,091

I see this

775
00:46:16,024 --> 00:46:17,233
hole in my throat

776
00:46:17,317 --> 00:46:18,651
and I wonder

777
00:46:20,195 --> 00:46:22,947
whether people wonder

778
00:46:23,031 --> 00:46:25,700
if I’ve had any fear of dying.

779
00:46:28,995 --> 00:46:31,956
Because I obviously

780
00:46:33,416 --> 00:46:35,752
am

781
00:46:35,835 --> 00:46:38,004
sounding

782
00:46:38,922 --> 00:46:42,467
much worse than I feel.

783
00:46:42,550 --> 00:46:46,638
But it’s an obstacle
obviously that

784
00:46:46,721 --> 00:46:48,598
is, uh,

785
00:46:48,681 --> 00:46:52,477
very present
with whoever sees me.

786
00:46:53,895 --> 00:46:55,522
And

787
00:46:57,899 --> 00:47:01,528
I have had fears

788
00:47:01,611 --> 00:47:04,364
but none that have ever

789
00:47:06,282 --> 00:47:08,451
been overwhelming

790
00:47:09,661 --> 00:47:11,788
about my life,

791
00:47:13,957 --> 00:47:16,042
because I

792
00:47:17,043 --> 00:47:19,420
don’t believe in death,

793
00:47:19,504 --> 00:47:21,839
and my whole life I’ve

794
00:47:21,923 --> 00:47:26,052
tried to see the world

795
00:47:26,970 --> 00:47:29,013
as one

796
00:47:29,097 --> 00:47:31,140
piece of life.

797
00:47:31,224 --> 00:47:33,268
That’s how
I understand it right;

798
00:47:33,351 --> 00:47:35,478
when you pull back

799
00:47:35,562 --> 00:47:37,814
from the planet, you see that

800
00:47:37,897 --> 00:47:40,650
we’re all one

801
00:47:40,733 --> 00:47:42,318
life source.

802
00:48:03,965 --> 00:48:05,216
Hello?

803
00:48:05,300 --> 00:48:08,261
- Hi, sweetheart.
- Hey.

804
00:48:08,344 --> 00:48:09,887
You’re not quite ready yet.

805
00:48:09,971 --> 00:48:11,806
Almost.

806
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,308
Okay.

807
00:48:13,391 --> 00:48:14,851
I’m going to come...

808
00:48:14,934 --> 00:48:16,374
I’m going to come over
to you, right?

809
00:48:16,436 --> 00:48:17,770
- Pick you up?
- Okay.

810
00:48:17,854 --> 00:48:19,939
- All right.
- Bye.

811
00:48:46,841 --> 00:48:48,509
It’s a peach.

812
00:48:48,593 --> 00:48:50,178
It’s a peachy little bum.

813
00:48:55,725 --> 00:48:58,394
What did you do?
It’s all over your belly.

814
00:48:58,478 --> 00:49:00,605
You dirty mate. Look.

815
00:49:00,688 --> 00:49:02,565
Oh, my God.

816
00:49:02,649 --> 00:49:04,376
You think you’re funny,
don’t you? -

817
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,361
Well, let’s get this off,
as well. - Ew.

818
00:49:06,444 --> 00:49:07,654
Ew.

819
00:49:12,992 --> 00:49:15,286
Mercedes’ first
over the shoulder.

820
00:49:20,625 --> 00:49:23,002
Don’t wake the child.

821
00:49:48,444 --> 00:49:50,697
Yeah, you can do it.

822
00:49:53,783 --> 00:49:57,495
We’re just one big happy family,
aren’t we, honey?

823
00:49:57,578 --> 00:50:00,540
One small happy family.

824
00:50:22,061 --> 00:50:23,372
- My trailer.
- You’ve arrived.

825
00:50:23,396 --> 00:50:25,314
You’re a... you’re a pro.

826
00:50:25,398 --> 00:50:28,276
In close.

827
00:50:28,359 --> 00:50:30,403
Who’s the real...?

828
00:50:30,486 --> 00:50:34,198
See, what a historian
would say during the credits,

829
00:50:34,282 --> 00:50:38,286
if you don’t show a picture
of Wyatt Earp, it’s what?

830
00:50:38,369 --> 00:50:41,748
This Wyatt Earp
or this Wyatt Earp?

831
00:50:41,831 --> 00:50:43,875
Which one is Memorex?

832
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:46,544
You be the judge.

833
00:50:46,627 --> 00:50:48,796
You’re out of focus.
You can’t get that close.

834
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:50,774
Do you have
a macro lens on that thing?

835
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:52,300
Listen, conk.

836
00:50:52,383 --> 00:50:54,010
- Listen, conky.
- I’ve been conked.

837
00:50:54,093 --> 00:50:56,512
Lot of love on this location.

838
00:50:56,596 --> 00:50:59,557
Lot of love
in these tumbleweeds.

839
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,618
It’s
an extremely unusual experience.

840
00:51:01,642 --> 00:51:02,935
It’s one we used to talk about

841
00:51:03,019 --> 00:51:04,419
in the theater,
that you really want

842
00:51:04,479 --> 00:51:06,105
an ensemble feeling
and all those things

843
00:51:06,189 --> 00:51:08,149
that are rarely,
if ever, achieved.

844
00:51:08,232 --> 00:51:10,777
- Are you filming?
- Uh-huh.

845
00:51:10,860 --> 00:51:13,905
Whoa!

846
00:51:13,988 --> 00:51:15,656
Doctor’s in.

847
00:51:15,740 --> 00:51:18,034
I’ll be your huckleberry.

848
00:51:18,117 --> 00:51:21,204
Doc Holliday
was a highly educated aristocrat

849
00:51:21,287 --> 00:51:23,372
and-and a dentist.

850
00:51:23,456 --> 00:51:24,665
Really?

851
00:51:26,417 --> 00:51:28,461
- Roll, Liz.
- We’re rolling.

852
00:51:28,544 --> 00:51:30,421
He was also dying
of tuberculosis

853
00:51:30,505 --> 00:51:33,716
and lost everything, including
his practice, because of it.

854
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,520
Tough roles are when
the writing’s not good,

855
00:51:35,551 --> 00:51:37,762
and the writing was good.

856
00:51:37,845 --> 00:51:41,474
Doc Holliday’s
a very well-written character.

857
00:51:41,557 --> 00:51:43,434
Five hundred.

858
00:51:43,518 --> 00:51:46,270
Must be a peach of a hand.

859
00:51:46,354 --> 00:51:48,064
So it was just a pleasure,
but it’s all...

860
00:51:48,147 --> 00:51:50,191
it’s in the writing.

861
00:51:50,274 --> 00:51:53,778
I saw Tombstone
as a love story between two men.

862
00:51:53,861 --> 00:51:56,489
In the final scene,
Doc, who’s dying,

863
00:51:56,572 --> 00:52:00,743
tries to get Wyatt to leave him
and go live his life.

864
00:52:00,827 --> 00:52:03,287
I got the art department
to fill my bed with ice

865
00:52:03,371 --> 00:52:05,456
so I could lay on top of it.

866
00:52:05,540 --> 00:52:08,334
I wanted to create a pain
for myself equal to the pain

867
00:52:08,417 --> 00:52:10,545
Doc must have felt
in saying goodbye.

868
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:12,797
It was the best way
I could come up with

869
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,425
to do justice
to their beautiful friendship.

870
00:52:16,509 --> 00:52:19,762
Live, Wyatt.

871
00:52:19,846 --> 00:52:22,014
Live for me.

872
00:52:23,099 --> 00:52:26,018
Wyatt, if you ever were
my friend,

873
00:52:26,102 --> 00:52:29,313
if you ever had even
the slightest feeling for me,

874
00:52:29,397 --> 00:52:30,982
leave now.

875
00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:33,985
Leave now.

876
00:52:38,155 --> 00:52:40,199
Please.

877
00:52:46,706 --> 00:52:48,559
- You want to throw a tomahawk?
- Sure, why not?

878
00:52:48,583 --> 00:52:49,750
Come on.

879
00:52:50,877 --> 00:52:52,044
Hey!

880
00:52:52,128 --> 00:52:54,589

00:53:15,443 --> 00:53:18,154
Steve, this is Val.

888
00:53:18,237 --> 00:53:19,989
Holy cow.

889
00:53:20,072 --> 00:53:21,908
- This is for you.
- Howdy.

890
00:53:21,991 --> 00:53:23,618
- How you doing?
- Not bad.

891
00:53:23,701 --> 00:53:26,078
Hop in there. I’ll get
your photo. - All right.

892
00:53:27,872 --> 00:53:29,540
I enjoy your films.

893
00:53:29,624 --> 00:53:31,375
Thank you so much.

894
00:53:31,459 --> 00:53:32,877
Thunderheart.

895
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:34,170
Yeah.

896
00:53:38,716 --> 00:53:40,259
Thank you very much, sir.

897
00:53:40,343 --> 00:53:42,887
We’re nerds,
so we play Magic: The Gathering.

898
00:53:42,970 --> 00:53:44,180
It’s a card game.

899
00:53:44,263 --> 00:53:45,783
- So we made that for you.
- Thank you.

900
00:53:45,848 --> 00:53:47,326
There’s a Bible verse
on the back there for you.

901
00:53:47,350 --> 00:53:49,143
Fantastic.

902
00:53:49,226 --> 00:53:52,063
Val Kilmer "Chosen by God."

903
00:53:54,148 --> 00:53:55,733
Thank you very much, sir.

904
00:53:55,816 --> 00:53:58,069
One, two, three.

905
00:54:03,824 --> 00:54:05,159
He blew my mind in South India.

906
00:54:05,242 --> 00:54:07,578
- Val gets around.
- Yeah, man.

907
00:54:07,662 --> 00:54:10,373
I blew his mind in South India.

908
00:54:10,456 --> 00:54:12,333
Who’s next?

909
00:54:12,416 --> 00:54:16,295
Val Kilmer is here,
and we’re gonna watch Tombstone

910
00:54:16,379 --> 00:54:18,047
on this screen.

911
00:54:19,256 --> 00:54:21,425
I always love it here

912
00:54:21,509 --> 00:54:23,219
in Texas because

913
00:54:23,302 --> 00:54:25,471
my father was born here.

914
00:54:27,139 --> 00:54:30,184
Even though he passed on,

915
00:54:30,267 --> 00:54:33,980
I always feel close by
when I come to Texas.

916
00:54:34,063 --> 00:54:35,940
And, um...

917
00:54:37,566 --> 00:54:38,651
and, um,

918
00:54:38,734 --> 00:54:41,237
I’m having such
a great time here.

919
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,406
I’d like to thank everybody for

920
00:54:43,489 --> 00:54:46,575
putting on such a great show.

921
00:54:46,659 --> 00:54:48,762
Ladies and gentlemen,
Val Kilmer is here with us

922
00:54:48,786 --> 00:54:51,414
for Tombstone in a Western town!

923
00:55:05,845 --> 00:55:08,139
Sometimes

924
00:55:08,222 --> 00:55:12,852
I feel so low
and I have the blues

925
00:55:12,935 --> 00:55:15,312
really, really hard

926
00:55:15,396 --> 00:55:18,107
about having to,

927
00:55:18,190 --> 00:55:21,610
you know,
fly around the country.

928
00:55:23,612 --> 00:55:25,698
I don’t look great and

929
00:55:25,781 --> 00:55:31,662
I’m selling basically
my old self, my old career.

930
00:55:33,664 --> 00:55:35,041
For many people,

931
00:55:35,124 --> 00:55:38,461
it’s like the lowest thing
you can do is

932
00:55:38,544 --> 00:55:44,216
talk about your old pictures
and sell photographs of...

933
00:55:44,300 --> 00:55:47,094
of when you were Batman or

934
00:55:48,095 --> 00:55:51,182
the Terminator.

935
00:55:51,265 --> 00:55:54,393
I don’t want to insult
any of the other actors

936
00:55:54,477 --> 00:55:56,228
that fly around the world.

937
00:56:03,652 --> 00:56:04,945
Five hundred.

938
00:56:05,029 --> 00:56:07,865
Must be a peach of a hand.

939
00:56:07,948 --> 00:56:11,952
But it enables me to

940
00:56:12,036 --> 00:56:14,622
meet my fans and...

941
00:56:17,333 --> 00:56:19,293
and what ends up happening is

942
00:56:19,376 --> 00:56:25,091
I feel really grateful
rather than humiliated

943
00:56:26,467 --> 00:56:29,261
because there’s so many people.

944
00:56:29,345 --> 00:56:31,180
Come on.

945
00:56:31,263 --> 00:56:34,767
Come on, show.

946
00:56:36,519 --> 00:56:39,146
Is everybody paying attention?

947
00:56:39,230 --> 00:56:42,233
I will help you solve
the greatest riddle of all.

948
00:56:42,316 --> 00:56:45,111
The mother of all riddles.

949
00:56:46,278 --> 00:56:49,406
Who is... Batman?

950
00:57:04,755 --> 00:57:06,173
You see him?

951
00:57:06,257 --> 00:57:08,425
- See?
- Yeah.

952
00:57:09,635 --> 00:57:11,887
- Oh. Whew.
- He’s pissed.

953
00:57:11,971 --> 00:57:14,098
Fuck, look at
that head, eh? - Yeah.

954
00:57:14,181 --> 00:57:16,517
I was in Africa
when I got a call from my agent,

955
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,979
who had been frantically trying
to get ahold of me.

956
00:57:20,062 --> 00:57:23,440
He asked me how I’d feel
about being the next Batman.

957
00:57:27,486 --> 00:57:30,239
I was in shock and disbelief,

958
00:57:30,322 --> 00:57:34,243
mostly because I had just been
exploring a remote bat cave

959
00:57:34,326 --> 00:57:36,787
and that’s why
I was so hard to reach.

960
00:57:38,831 --> 00:57:40,791
It was a sign.

961
00:57:51,010 --> 00:57:54,305
Every boy dreams
of being Batman.

962
00:57:54,388 --> 00:57:58,017
Batman is a superhero
without any superpowers.

963
00:57:58,100 --> 00:57:59,560
Just a normal guy.

964
00:57:59,643 --> 00:58:02,646
Some days, you just can’t
get rid of a bomb.

965
00:58:02,730 --> 00:58:04,315
But he does incredible things

966
00:58:04,398 --> 00:58:06,233
using his own intelligence

967
00:58:06,317 --> 00:58:09,111
and the amazing gadgets
he invents.

968
00:58:10,321 --> 00:58:13,908
Every boy dreams of being Batman

969
00:58:13,991 --> 00:58:16,660
because it actually is
possible to be him.

970
00:58:19,205 --> 00:58:21,457
When I was in second grade,

971
00:58:21,540 --> 00:58:24,877
our family was invited to
the set of the Batman TV show.

972
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,504
To this day,
one of my dearest memories

973
00:58:27,588 --> 00:58:31,508
is that of my father
lifting me into the Batmobile.

974
00:58:31,592 --> 00:58:33,260
By Hollywood standards,

975
00:58:33,344 --> 00:58:35,429
Batman is
the ultimate leading role

976
00:58:35,512 --> 00:58:37,306
and a dream come true.

977
00:58:37,389 --> 00:58:40,059
I took the part
without even reading the script.

978
00:58:40,142 --> 00:58:42,645
Michael Keaton has moved on.

979
00:58:42,728 --> 00:58:46,106
Val Kilmer has moved into
the rubber body armor of Batman.

980
00:58:46,190 --> 00:58:48,192
Mark.

981
00:58:48,275 --> 00:58:52,029
But whatever
boyish excitement I had going in

982
00:58:52,112 --> 00:58:54,782
was crushed by
the reality of the Batsuit.

983
00:58:56,116 --> 00:58:58,577
When you’re in it,
you can barely move

984
00:58:58,661 --> 00:59:01,497
and people have to help you
stand up and sit down.

985
00:59:01,580 --> 00:59:03,082
Poor Val would
have to put the mask on

986
00:59:03,165 --> 00:59:05,000
and couldn’t hear
when he had it on

987
00:59:05,084 --> 00:59:06,627
and couldn’t breathe properly.

988
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:08,420
You also can’t hear anything.

989
00:59:08,504 --> 00:59:10,839
And after a while,
people stop talking to you.

990
00:59:12,091 --> 00:59:14,385
It’s very isolating.

991
00:59:14,468 --> 00:59:17,388
Do about an hour of acting,
and then you fall down...

992
00:59:17,471 --> 00:59:20,933
Hyperventilate
and need oxygen and water.

993
00:59:21,016 --> 00:59:22,351
It was a struggle for me

994
00:59:22,434 --> 00:59:24,645
to get a performance
past the suit,

995
00:59:24,728 --> 00:59:27,856
and it was frustrating
until I realized that my role

996
00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:31,610
in the film was just to show up
and stand where I was told to.

997
00:59:32,736 --> 00:59:34,738
Actors like Tommy Lee Jones...

998
00:59:34,822 --> 00:59:37,157
Ha! Our kind of day.

999
00:59:37,241 --> 00:59:40,369
had designed
this whole performance,

1000
00:59:40,452 --> 00:59:43,080
and so had Jim Carrey.

1001
00:59:43,163 --> 00:59:46,250
Riddle me this, riddle me that.

1002
00:59:46,333 --> 00:59:48,919
Was that over-the-top?
I can never tell.

1003
00:59:51,213 --> 00:59:53,716
It was just so huge.

1004
00:59:53,799 --> 00:59:57,386
I think it made no difference
what I was doing.

1005
00:59:57,469 --> 01:00:00,389
I tried to be like an

1006
01:00:00,472 --> 01:00:03,392
actor on a soap opera.

1007
01:00:03,475 --> 01:00:06,895
The way I would turn to Nicole.

1008
01:00:08,147 --> 01:00:09,857
Bat-Signal is not a beeper.

1009
01:00:09,940 --> 01:00:13,527
Well, I wish I could say
that my interest in you was

1010
01:00:13,610 --> 01:00:15,404
purely professional.

1011
01:00:15,487 --> 01:00:18,532
Go count how many times

1012
01:00:18,615 --> 01:00:21,160
I put my hands on my hips.

1013
01:00:21,243 --> 01:00:24,705
I don’t know how
they come up with this

1014
01:00:24,788 --> 01:00:26,206
style of acting,

1015
01:00:26,290 --> 01:00:29,126
but they seem to go...

1016
01:00:29,209 --> 01:00:31,170
go to soap opera school.

1017
01:00:31,253 --> 01:00:34,840
"Why, why,
why would you say that?"

1018
01:00:37,343 --> 01:00:39,136
The day I wrapped Batman,

1019
01:00:39,219 --> 01:00:42,639
I jumped in the car and went
immediately to the set of Heat.

1020
01:00:44,433 --> 01:00:46,560
Compared to the massive
production of Batman,

1021
01:00:46,643 --> 01:00:48,604
Heat felt like an indie film.

1022
01:00:52,274 --> 01:00:54,651
Working with Al Pacino,

1023
01:00:54,735 --> 01:00:56,320
Robert De Niro

1024
01:00:56,403 --> 01:00:58,655
and director Michael Mann
was pure joy.

1025
01:00:58,739 --> 01:01:01,200
Remember Jimmy MacAwain
on the yard used to say,

1026
01:01:01,283 --> 01:01:03,535
"You want to be making moves
on the street?

1027
01:01:03,619 --> 01:01:04,953
"Have no attachments.

1028
01:01:05,037 --> 01:01:06,705
"Allow nothing
to be in your life

1029
01:01:06,789 --> 01:01:08,916
"that you cannot walk out on
in 30 seconds flat

1030
01:01:08,999 --> 01:01:11,293
if you spot the heat
around the corner."

1031
01:01:11,377 --> 01:01:13,253
Remember that?

1032
01:01:19,593 --> 01:01:23,013
For me, the sun rises
and sets with her, man.

1033
01:01:24,473 --> 01:01:26,558
Well, let’s talk
about Batman now.

1034
01:01:26,642 --> 01:01:28,685
Now, this is kind of neat.
You’re playing Batman.

1035
01:01:30,396 --> 01:01:32,082
Batman became
the number one movie of the year

1036
01:01:32,106 --> 01:01:34,566
with $183 million.

1037
01:01:34,650 --> 01:01:36,068
Val Kilmer is Batman.

1038
01:01:36,151 --> 01:01:37,337
Most of the time,
all you see is his lips,

1039
01:01:37,361 --> 01:01:38,862
so who would know anyway?

1040
01:01:38,946 --> 01:01:40,239
Hot entrance.

1041
01:01:40,322 --> 01:01:42,574
Batman Forever got mixed reviews

1042
01:01:42,658 --> 01:01:45,035
but was a commercial success.

1043
01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:47,955
They wanted to start
the next one immediately.

1044
01:01:48,038 --> 01:01:50,124
I turned it down.

1045
01:01:50,207 --> 01:01:52,501
I was already committed
to The Saint,

1046
01:01:52,584 --> 01:01:55,129
a remake of
a British spy thriller series

1047
01:01:55,212 --> 01:01:57,297
where I’d get to play
a character who dons

1048
01:01:57,381 --> 01:01:59,675
multiple personas and disguises.

1049
01:01:59,758 --> 01:02:03,971
It was like ten roles in one,
and I wanted to do that more.

1050
01:02:05,055 --> 01:02:07,558
What’s that I see, Jack?

1051
01:02:07,641 --> 01:02:09,518
Batmobile!

1052
01:02:09,601 --> 01:02:12,312
- Is that mine, Daddy?
- Yeah!

1053
01:02:16,984 --> 01:02:18,152
Ready?

1054
01:02:18,235 --> 01:02:20,112
Are you all ready, Batman?

1055
01:02:20,195 --> 01:02:21,297
Quick, turn left.

1056
01:02:21,321 --> 01:02:22,781
That’s this way. Turn, turn.

1057
01:02:22,865 --> 01:02:25,951
Yes, every boy
wants to be Batman.

1058
01:02:27,202 --> 01:02:29,496
They actually want to be him.

1059
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:34,251
They don’t necessarily
want to play him in a movie.

1060
01:02:47,639 --> 01:02:50,642
- Val, Val, Val, Val, Val.
- Val, Val, Val, Val Kilmer.

1061
01:02:50,726 --> 01:02:53,562
Is it possible to write "You
can be my wingman" on there?

1062
01:02:53,645 --> 01:02:57,274
Sorry, can you put
"Iceman" on that one?

1063
01:02:57,357 --> 01:02:59,485
Would you write
"You can be my wingman"?

1064
01:02:59,568 --> 01:03:01,278
"You can be my wingman"
on this one.

1065
01:03:01,361 --> 01:03:03,614
Can you put "Iceman" on it
as well, please, Val?

1066
01:03:03,697 --> 01:03:05,949
Can you put "You can be
my wingman anytime"

1067
01:03:06,033 --> 01:03:07,326
and then "Val Kilmer, Iceman"?

1068
01:03:07,409 --> 01:03:08,994
I wanna take a break.

1069
01:03:09,077 --> 01:03:10,787
You want to take a break anyway?
Okay.

1070
01:03:10,871 --> 01:03:12,724
- Yeah, my stomach...
- Okay, okay. All right. Let me...

1071
01:03:12,748 --> 01:03:13,999
- Hey, Kim?
- Yep.

1072
01:03:14,082 --> 01:03:15,518
Can we just finish
these last few people?

1073
01:03:15,542 --> 01:03:16,853
Want to lock it down,
if they would...

1074
01:03:16,877 --> 01:03:18,879
Yaseem, tell them
to hold the people.

1075
01:03:18,962 --> 01:03:20,380
Hold the people. Thank you.

1076
01:03:20,464 --> 01:03:21,798
Okay.

1077
01:03:22,758 --> 01:03:25,344
- I wanna lay down.
- Okay.

1078
01:03:28,347 --> 01:03:30,390
- Thank you.
- Hey, thank you so much.

1079
01:03:30,474 --> 01:03:34,353
So, Val, what do you want to do
with that guy’s autos?

1080
01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:34,037
Testing for Fatman.

1081
01:04:52,806 --> 01:04:56,476

Look, there’s a fence!
How we gonna get out?!

Ha-ha. Push the button.

Okay.

I’ll take that ticket,

01:06:03,418 --> 01:06:04,670
Thank you.

1093
01:06:04,753 --> 01:06:07,130

Really appreciate it.

1104
01:07:06,815 --> 01:07:08,442
Hi, Daddy.

1105
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,322
Hello, Mercedes.

1106
01:07:14,406 --> 01:07:16,908
We were talking about
things that are scary,

1107
01:07:16,992 --> 01:07:19,619
and you said the only things
that you were afraid of

1108
01:07:19,703 --> 01:07:21,747
were your dreams.

1109
01:07:28,295 --> 01:07:31,298
Not many things scare me.

1110
01:07:31,381 --> 01:07:33,550
But one thing kind of is, um...

1111
01:07:33,633 --> 01:07:35,677
Scary.

1112
01:07:35,761 --> 01:07:37,345
It’s not exactly scary

1113
01:07:37,429 --> 01:07:39,973
but one thing
that I’m concerned about.

1114
01:07:42,768 --> 01:07:45,562
I’m concerned

1115
01:07:45,645 --> 01:07:49,483
about making
a really beautiful home

1116
01:07:49,566 --> 01:07:51,777
for you and Jack

1117
01:07:51,860 --> 01:07:54,529

01:07:54,613 --> 01:07:56,615

1126
01:08:48,875 --> 01:08:52,045
of when I’m standing
on a high cliff

1127
01:08:52,128 --> 01:08:54,047

it’s one of the brand-new ones.

1138
01:09:29,708 --> 01:09:31,334
If you could all just
scooch in a little.

1139
01:09:31,418 --> 01:09:33,458
Okay, thanks. If we can
clear the frame please.

1140
01:09:33,503 --> 01:09:35,380
- Umbrellas out.
- Wait, wait, wait.

1141
01:09:35,463 --> 01:09:38,091
Want everybody that’s
not in costume off the set.

1142

Let’s all, let’s all kiss.

1143
01:09:41,887 --> 01:09:44,222
The Island of Dr. Moreau
was my chance

1144
01:09:44,306 --> 01:09:47,058
to finally work
with Marlon Brando.

1145
01:09:47,142 --> 01:09:49,811
The movie was doomed
from the start.

1146
01:09:49,895 --> 01:09:53,231
Our first director, Richard
Stanley, who was talented

1147
01:09:53,315 --> 01:09:56,109
but had never directed
anything of this scale,

1148
01:09:56,192 --> 01:09:57,777
was replaced
after he started shooting

1149
01:09:57,861 --> 01:10:01,781
by the experienced
John Frankenheimer.

1150
01:10:01,865 --> 01:10:04,492
Frankenheimer, tasked
with getting a production

1151
01:10:04,576 --> 01:10:07,037
already weeks behind
under control,

1152
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,998
was intent on finishing
the film as quickly as possible,

1153
01:10:10,081 --> 01:10:11,917
and was unwilling
to take the time

1154
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,377
to explore Marlon’s ideas.

1155
01:10:16,296 --> 01:10:18,590
When this became clear
to Marlon, he stopped trying

1156
01:10:18,673 --> 01:10:21,551
to inject his own genius
into the film.

1157
01:10:22,969 --> 01:10:25,347
This was devastating to me.

1158
01:10:25,430 --> 01:10:27,807
That’s not Marlon.

1159
01:10:27,891 --> 01:10:30,226
He’s not coming in today.

1160
01:10:32,020 --> 01:10:33,740
Did anybody tell you
that Marlon wasn’t

1161
01:10:33,772 --> 01:10:35,231
- working today, David?
- No.

1162
01:10:35,315 --> 01:10:37,192
- No one told me, either.
- You don’t notice.

1163
01:10:37,275 --> 01:10:38,777
- Can you tell it’s not him?
- What?

1164
01:10:38,860 --> 01:10:40,504
- Can you tell it’s not him?
- No, you can’t even tell,

1165
01:10:40,528 --> 01:10:42,530
to quote John Frankenheimer.
What’s the problem?

1166
01:10:42,614 --> 01:10:44,866
- You can’t even tell.
- This guy’s exactly like him.

1167
01:10:44,950 --> 01:10:46,493
What’s your name?

1168
01:10:46,576 --> 01:10:48,495
- Norm.
- Norm.

1169
01:10:48,578 --> 01:10:50,246
You’re rockin’, Norm.

1170
01:10:50,330 --> 01:10:53,291
Marlon Brando’s played by Norm.

1171
01:10:53,375 --> 01:10:56,795
Back! Back!

1172
01:10:59,339 --> 01:11:01,508
No! Douglas, no!

1173
01:11:01,591 --> 01:11:03,593
No! No!

1174
01:11:03,677 --> 01:11:06,137
He won’t hurt us.

1175
01:11:07,430 --> 01:11:09,516
Can I help you in any way?

1176
01:11:09,599 --> 01:11:11,518
Um...

1177
01:11:13,561 --> 01:11:15,563
Maybe if I acted better?

1178
01:11:15,647 --> 01:11:17,607
No, that’s not it.

1179
01:11:17,691 --> 01:11:19,818
Okay. Let me know

1180
01:11:19,901 --> 01:11:21,945
if there is anything
I can do for you.

1181
01:11:22,028 --> 01:11:24,280
- The writing.
- Writing.

1182
01:11:24,364 --> 01:11:26,032
Should we get together
and write?

1183
01:11:26,116 --> 01:11:27,367
Sophie, was I smoking in this?

1184
01:11:27,450 --> 01:11:28,868
Get those umbrellas
out of there.

1185
01:11:28,952 --> 01:11:31,454
- Let’s go! Roll!
- Roll?

1186
01:11:31,538 --> 01:11:32,974
What do you need?
Tell me what you...

1187
01:11:32,998 --> 01:11:34,416
Speak English. Go.

1188
01:11:34,499 --> 01:11:35,875
Right. He won’t let me get in.

1189
01:11:35,959 --> 01:11:39,045
You want shoes
for the cast? -Yes.

1190
01:11:39,129 --> 01:11:41,047
I have no shoes on.

1191
01:11:41,131 --> 01:11:42,632
Very observant of you.
This is blue.

1192
01:11:42,716 --> 01:11:45,510
- Remember, I saw that.
- I’m right over there.

1193
01:11:47,804 --> 01:11:50,515
Thanks for
your-your concern, Bill.

1194
01:11:50,598 --> 01:11:53,351
Have we discussed the blocking
or what happens in this scene?

1195
01:11:53,435 --> 01:11:55,812
- No.
- No. Did you say "no"?

1196
01:11:55,895 --> 01:11:57,605
- No.
- Yeah. Thank you.

1197
01:11:59,149 --> 01:12:01,109
The chance to make a great film

1198
01:12:01,192 --> 01:12:03,069
with my hero, slipping away.

1199
01:12:03,153 --> 01:12:04,904
And on top of everything,

1200
01:12:04,988 --> 01:12:07,657
the strain of our careers
and too much time apart

1201
01:12:07,741 --> 01:12:10,410
had taken its toll
on my marriage,

1202
01:12:10,493 --> 01:12:13,246
and I was served
divorce papers on set.

1203
01:12:14,664 --> 01:12:16,517
You know, John Frankenheimer
can say "action" and "cut"

1204
01:12:16,541 --> 01:12:19,002
all day long, and it will never
make him a director.

1205
01:12:23,548 --> 01:12:24,716
Action.

1206
01:12:30,722 --> 01:12:33,391
Okay. Uh,
this has just gone too far.

1207
01:12:33,475 --> 01:12:35,101
I can’t do it.

1208
01:12:35,185 --> 01:12:36,603
If we’re going to work this way.

1209
01:12:36,686 --> 01:12:37,705
Shut the video camera off.

1210
01:12:37,729 --> 01:12:39,105
Are we rehearsing?

1211
01:12:39,189 --> 01:12:40,482
We are about to rehearse.

1212
01:12:40,565 --> 01:12:42,084
Would you please
shut the video camera off?

1213
01:12:42,108 --> 01:12:44,069
No, because I’m in
a highly emotional state,

1214
01:12:44,152 --> 01:12:46,029
because you said earlier
to David and I

1215
01:12:46,112 --> 01:12:47,697
you were going
to leave this movie.

1216
01:12:47,781 --> 01:12:50,158
If this continues, I will not...

1217
01:12:50,241 --> 01:12:53,453
I do not see how I could
function under these conditions.

1218
01:12:53,536 --> 01:12:55,288
I’m supposed to be
doing creative work

1219
01:12:55,371 --> 01:12:57,749
and this is not conducive
to creating a good scene.

1220
01:12:57,832 --> 01:12:59,250
Well...

1221
01:12:59,334 --> 01:13:01,395
can I have a minute, because
I’m in an emotional state

1222
01:13:01,419 --> 01:13:03,171
and I won’t be able
to read my lines.

1223
01:13:03,254 --> 01:13:04,964
By all means,
please have a minute.

1224
01:13:05,048 --> 01:13:07,383
I’ll tell you what. When you
guys are ready to rehearse...

1225
01:13:07,467 --> 01:13:09,385
I’m ready to rehearse right now.

1226
01:13:09,469 --> 01:13:11,096
Shut the video camera off?

1227
01:13:11,179 --> 01:13:14,265
I need a witness
because of things you’ve said.

1228
01:13:14,349 --> 01:13:15,600
Things that I’ve said?

1229
01:13:15,683 --> 01:13:17,519
Yeah.

1230
01:13:17,602 --> 01:13:19,979
You’ve debated in front of
your two lead actors

1231
01:13:20,063 --> 01:13:23,066
on whether you will continue
to direct this film.

1232
01:13:23,149 --> 01:13:25,610
That puts me in a state of mind

1233
01:13:25,693 --> 01:13:27,779
not conducive to creating.

1234
01:13:27,862 --> 01:13:30,073
Please shut
the video camera off.

1235
01:13:30,156 --> 01:13:32,742
I will keep it on
until we’re rehearsing.

1236
01:13:39,165 --> 01:13:40,834
¿Donde esta Marlon?

1237
01:13:40,917 --> 01:13:42,627
Uh, he’s around the corner.

1238
01:13:42,710 --> 01:13:44,671
Thanks.

1239
01:13:57,350 --> 01:14:00,061
What’s your earliest
childhood memory?

1240
01:14:04,107 --> 01:14:06,818
Gimme a shove.

1241
01:14:08,528 --> 01:14:11,990
Can you... Do you have memories
from before you could speak?

1242
01:14:12,073 --> 01:14:14,701
Big, big, big shove.

1243
01:14:14,784 --> 01:14:17,495
Yeah. That’s good.

1244
01:14:17,579 --> 01:14:19,831
Ah, there we are.

1245
01:14:22,917 --> 01:14:24,794
This is a nice fade-out.

1246
01:14:32,802 --> 01:14:34,971
I have a legal right
to have my children

1247
01:14:35,054 --> 01:14:37,891
and use my best discretion.

1248
01:14:37,974 --> 01:14:40,185
Uh, we don’t have anything
written in the agreement,

1249
01:14:40,268 --> 01:14:42,687
and I don’t remember
saying that anyway.

1250
01:14:42,770 --> 01:14:44,606
If that’s what
the court order says,

1251
01:14:44,689 --> 01:14:46,357
then that’s what I’ll do.

1252
01:14:49,611 --> 01:14:52,197
Well, the...
that happens every single time

1253
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:56,701
we don’t make separate time
and agree about the time.

1254
01:14:56,784 --> 01:14:58,578
I’m not saying you did it.

1255
01:14:58,661 --> 01:15:01,581
I’m saying we cannot do
a schedule in front of them.

1256
01:15:01,664 --> 01:15:03,458
And if you’re willing
to do that,

1257
01:15:03,541 --> 01:15:05,543
you’re willing to experience
conflict like you had.

1258
01:15:05,627 --> 01:15:07,712
I’m not willing
to experience it in my home

1259
01:15:07,795 --> 01:15:09,464
or in your home.

1260
01:15:09,547 --> 01:15:12,008
I’m not blowing off steam.
I’m speaking directly

1261
01:15:12,091 --> 01:15:15,303
to the children’s best interest,
which is the quality of time

1262
01:15:15,386 --> 01:15:17,805
that they have
with both parents.

1263
01:15:19,140 --> 01:15:20,740
If you’re unwilling
to negotiate with me,

1264
01:15:20,767 --> 01:15:22,894
then we have to negotiate
with someone else.

1265
01:15:22,977 --> 01:15:25,521
I’ll lodge a legal complaint
with the sheriff’s department

1266
01:15:25,605 --> 01:15:27,440
since we can’t go
through the court

1267
01:15:27,523 --> 01:15:29,210
’cause it’s the holidays
and no one’s there,

1268
01:15:29,234 --> 01:15:30,914
that you’re unwilling
to negotiate with me,

1269
01:15:30,985 --> 01:15:32,487
and someone else has to do it.

1270
01:15:32,570 --> 01:15:34,364
And I’ll check out
what... what I have to do.

1271
01:15:34,447 --> 01:15:36,491
If I have to legally
bring them back by 6:00,

1272
01:15:36,574 --> 01:15:39,953
then I’ll try to legally,
just like I did 15 times

1273
01:15:40,036 --> 01:15:41,829
in the last two years...

1274
01:15:43,957 --> 01:15:45,041
Enough!

1275
01:15:47,418 --> 01:15:49,671
Good morning.

1276
01:15:49,754 --> 01:15:52,090
Hi, Jack. Hi, Mercedes.

1277
01:15:52,173 --> 01:15:56,469
Happy Easter from New Mexico.

1278
01:15:56,552 --> 01:15:58,930
Look what I found...

1279
01:15:59,013 --> 01:16:00,974
in a cactus.

1280
01:16:01,057 --> 01:16:03,726
What a clever Easter Bunny.

1281
01:16:03,810 --> 01:16:05,353
A beanbag duck?

1282
01:16:05,436 --> 01:16:07,855
What are you doing
in New Mexico?

1283
01:16:10,108 --> 01:16:12,819
Oh, there’s another one.

1284
01:16:12,902 --> 01:16:15,613
My name is Pinky.

1285
01:16:15,697 --> 01:16:17,448
Hi, Pinky.

1286
01:16:17,532 --> 01:16:19,450
Will you come with us
to California?

1287
01:16:21,077 --> 01:16:23,079
There’s the river.

1288
01:16:23,162 --> 01:16:26,958
It’s beautiful this morning.

1289
01:16:32,171 --> 01:16:34,173
Wish you were here.

1290
01:17:13,171 --> 01:17:15,381
It’s really interesting
in acting,

1291
01:17:15,465 --> 01:17:18,217
where you do so many things
that are...

1292
01:17:18,301 --> 01:17:20,636
very final
about your personal life.

1293
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:22,930
There’s no turning back.

1294
01:17:23,014 --> 01:17:24,932
You say yes
and agree to do a film,

1295
01:17:25,016 --> 01:17:30,146
then it’s-it’s a... what they
call a "pay-or-play contract,"

1296
01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:33,733
and a lot of them have been
lawsuits through the years.

1297
01:17:33,816 --> 01:17:37,195
They become final
if you verbally agree.

1298
01:17:38,654 --> 01:17:40,239
And, uh...

1299
01:17:41,783 --> 01:17:44,369
it’s your, uh...

1300
01:17:44,452 --> 01:17:48,122
actual life
that you’re agreeing to...

1301
01:17:50,750 --> 01:17:52,668
forfeit.

1302
01:17:56,381 --> 01:17:59,175
It’s one of the things that
they buy for all that money.

1303
01:17:59,258 --> 01:18:02,387
They-they actually buy your...

1304
01:18:02,470 --> 01:18:04,389
life for a period of time.

1305
01:18:04,472 --> 01:18:07,183
Your experience,
your opinions, your...

1306
01:18:09,936 --> 01:18:12,105
soul in a way.

1307
01:18:14,107 --> 01:18:17,693
The Indians thought
that-that a photograph

1308
01:18:17,777 --> 01:18:21,072
or the image took away...

1309
01:18:21,155 --> 01:18:23,866
the soul, and it’s...

1310
01:18:24,951 --> 01:18:27,537
it sometimes feels like that.

1311
01:18:45,471 --> 01:18:47,432
All these stories about

1312
01:18:47,515 --> 01:18:49,684
how tough Val Kilmer,
who pulled out of Batman,

1313
01:18:49,767 --> 01:18:50,768
is to work with.

1314
01:18:55,440 --> 01:18:56,983
Spoiled and immature,

1315
01:18:57,066 --> 01:18:59,193
a perfectionist
obsessed with detail.

1316
01:18:59,277 --> 01:19:01,737
Stop it. Stop!

1317
01:19:01,821 --> 01:19:04,031
- Let that man alone!
- I’m guessing

1318
01:19:04,115 --> 01:19:06,617
that probably not much
of those things are true.

1319
01:19:06,701 --> 01:19:08,077
- None that I heard of.
- Yeah.

1320
01:19:08,161 --> 01:19:09,537
You’re not difficult

1321
01:19:09,620 --> 01:19:12,290
- to work with?
- No, I care very much about

1322
01:19:12,373 --> 01:19:13,791
telling the story well.

1323
01:19:16,502 --> 01:19:19,255
I’m frustrated because what I
have to do isn’t getting filmed

1324
01:19:19,338 --> 01:19:22,633
’cause the director
isn’t able to bring it out.

1325
01:19:22,717 --> 01:19:25,636
Not very long ago, it mattered
if you knew how to act.

1326
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,406
Smile through it, Val.
Smile through it, Val.

1327
01:19:27,430 --> 01:19:29,599
Now it actually is a deterrent.

1328
01:19:29,682 --> 01:19:31,476
Yeah, if you know how to act,

1329
01:19:31,559 --> 01:19:34,562
you know, you-you know, you-you
could be a problem actor.

1330
01:19:34,645 --> 01:19:35,813
Is there a problem?

1331
01:19:35,897 --> 01:19:38,524
Yeah. There’s a problem.

1332
01:19:39,775 --> 01:19:43,029
You, ’cause you’re dangerous.

1333
01:19:43,112 --> 01:19:45,281
You are a perfectionist.

1334
01:19:45,364 --> 01:19:47,575
You are an intense individual,
would you not say?

1335
01:19:47,658 --> 01:19:49,368
Val is his own man.
You understand?

1336
01:19:49,452 --> 01:19:52,580
The only thing
that I’ve obligated myself to

1337
01:19:52,663 --> 01:19:54,874
is to be, uh, the best

1338
01:19:54,957 --> 01:19:56,709
actor that I can be.

1339
01:19:56,792 --> 01:20:02,006
I didn’t want to address
also being a politician.

1340
01:20:03,966 --> 01:20:07,470
You don’t turn down Batman.

1341
01:20:07,553 --> 01:20:08,846
You know, you don’t.

1342
01:20:08,930 --> 01:20:11,140
Val is a puzzle inside

1343
01:20:11,224 --> 01:20:13,518
a mystery wrapped in an enigma.

1344
01:20:13,601 --> 01:20:15,269
He sees deeply.

1345
01:20:15,353 --> 01:20:17,673
I think he was always right,
and sometimes it’s convoluted.

1346
01:20:18,689 --> 01:20:19,982
Like, here it goes again.

1347
01:20:20,066 --> 01:20:21,786
Here’s that thing.
You’re the difficult guy.

1348
01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:27,490
No, he’s not.

1349
01:20:43,172 --> 01:20:45,800
Now collecting
one through 15 general boarding.

1350
01:20:45,883 --> 01:20:49,387
Keep in mind that you are going
to preboard the aircraft...

1351
01:20:49,470 --> 01:20:51,222
service to Oakland.

1352
01:20:51,305 --> 01:20:54,100
My name is Matt. I’ll be your
operations agent this afternoon.

1353
01:20:54,183 --> 01:20:56,686
Want to welcome you
to start lining up now, please.

1354
01:20:56,769 --> 01:21:00,189
A1 through 30 on your left.
A31 through 60 on your right.

1355
01:21:00,273 --> 01:21:02,191
If you have a boarding pass
with a B or C,

1356
01:21:02,275 --> 01:21:04,169
please stay seated
until I make that announcement.

1357
01:21:04,193 --> 01:21:07,697
The reason I’m wearing an AZ hat

1358
01:21:08,739 --> 01:21:10,408
is that

1359
01:21:10,491 --> 01:21:12,493
I’m going to Arizona,

1360
01:21:13,828 --> 01:21:15,329
because

1361
01:21:15,413 --> 01:21:18,040
my mother passed on,

1362
01:21:18,124 --> 01:21:20,543
and

1363
01:21:20,626 --> 01:21:22,295
she, uh...

1364
01:21:22,378 --> 01:21:25,798
right now she doesn’t have
anyone to cremate her.

1365
01:21:39,478 --> 01:21:42,648
Don’t... don’t get my dress.
Don’t get me wet.

1366
01:21:42,732 --> 01:21:45,401
Val, stop it. Stop it!

1367
01:21:45,484 --> 01:21:46,986
Oh, Val.

1368
01:21:47,069 --> 01:21:49,113
That’s not funny. Look.

1369
01:22:00,833 --> 01:22:04,503
That’s not funny, and it’s
not kind, and it’s not nice.

1370
01:22:04,587 --> 01:22:06,631
And it’s not
environmentally friendly.

1371
01:22:12,053 --> 01:22:15,848
Yo... you got me.

1372
01:22:15,931 --> 01:22:18,768
It glows in the dark.

1373
01:22:18,851 --> 01:22:20,645
It’s very pretty.

1374
01:22:20,728 --> 01:22:21,729
Awesome.

1375
01:22:21,812 --> 01:22:24,982
These ones or the big ones?

1376
01:22:26,192 --> 01:22:29,070
I like those with that dress.

1377
01:22:30,529 --> 01:22:31,989
Okay, time to go.

1378
01:22:32,073 --> 01:22:34,867
Okay, let me just do
my eyelashes, then we can go.

1379
01:22:58,974 --> 01:23:01,352
Hi, Val.

1380
01:23:09,652 --> 01:23:11,821
I’m happy you’re here.

1381
01:23:44,937 --> 01:23:46,856
Hey, boy.

1382
01:23:49,775 --> 01:23:52,027
There he goes.

1383
01:24:04,290 --> 01:24:05,916
Val.

1384
01:24:09,336 --> 01:24:11,881
Oh, lookee at you.

1385
01:24:11,964 --> 01:24:13,799
Lookee at you.

1386
01:24:13,883 --> 01:24:15,426
Oh, yeah.

1387
01:24:37,448 --> 01:24:41,452
Hey, Val,
here’s something for you.

1388
01:24:43,579 --> 01:24:46,373
This is for you.

1389
01:25:02,932 --> 01:25:04,892
Val.

1390
01:25:06,352 --> 01:25:08,521
Oh, Val.

1391
01:25:18,906 --> 01:25:20,533
No, no. Come here.

1392
01:25:20,616 --> 01:25:23,118
Come here. Sit. Sit.

1393
01:25:24,078 --> 01:25:25,287
See the camera?

1394
01:25:27,915 --> 01:25:31,418
I wrote something nice
last night all about her style.

1395
01:25:31,502 --> 01:25:34,505
Her hairdo and her jewelry...

1396
01:25:34,588 --> 01:25:36,507
they always popped.

1397
01:26:44,909 --> 01:26:47,786
I miss my mama.

1398
01:26:53,083 --> 01:26:55,336
But I had a vision

1399
01:26:55,419 --> 01:26:58,839
that she was so happy

1400
01:26:58,923 --> 01:27:02,593
with her youngest son.

1401
01:27:09,433 --> 01:27:12,102
The kind of acting that
I’m really interested in,

1402
01:27:12,186 --> 01:27:15,439
I haven’t very... I haven’t
done very much of in movies.

1403
01:27:15,522 --> 01:27:18,692
So it’s a strange feeling,
because I can’t really complain.

1404
01:27:18,776 --> 01:27:21,320
I’m very, very fortunate, and...

1405
01:27:21,403 --> 01:27:23,906
and, um, you...
you can’t really discuss it

1406
01:27:23,989 --> 01:27:25,783
with other fellow actors,

1407
01:27:25,866 --> 01:27:29,828
because nobody has a job
in acting, so you can’t...

1408
01:27:29,912 --> 01:27:34,166
you can’t, uh,
complain about jobs

1409
01:27:34,249 --> 01:27:35,834
or, especially, successful jobs.

1410
01:27:35,918 --> 01:27:39,254
Then they just think you’re
crazy or a pig or something.

1411
01:27:39,338 --> 01:27:41,048
So, uh,

1412
01:27:41,131 --> 01:27:44,843
it’s-it’s a difficult thing,
uh, trying to reconcile.

1413
01:27:44,927 --> 01:27:48,055
And the business changes
all the time, so...

1414
01:27:48,138 --> 01:27:52,309
But I-I don’t have the kind
of doubts I did when I started.

1415
01:27:52,393 --> 01:27:54,436
And I’m in...
I’m still interested

1416
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:57,856
in pursuing acting,
and it’s-it’s, uh,

1417
01:27:57,940 --> 01:28:01,986
fascinating studying people,
but, uh,

1418
01:28:02,069 --> 01:28:04,863
I-I don’t think
I would let myself

1419
01:28:04,947 --> 01:28:07,783
get as worked up as I used to.

1420
01:28:42,317 --> 01:28:44,236
It’s very hard
in the movie business

1421
01:28:44,319 --> 01:28:48,991
to do something different
on any level

1422
01:28:49,074 --> 01:28:52,327
without being on your own.

1423
01:28:53,996 --> 01:28:55,873
And so that’s
what happened to me.

1424
01:28:55,956 --> 01:28:59,376
I just ended up in sort of
constant conflicts with people

1425
01:28:59,460 --> 01:29:02,337
that wanted me
to do commercial work.

1426
01:29:04,465 --> 01:29:09,678
I was looking for
a big American story to direct.

1427
01:29:09,762 --> 01:29:11,680
I came across

1428
01:29:11,764 --> 01:29:14,641
the story of Mark Twain
and Mary Baker Eddy.

1429
01:29:16,143 --> 01:29:20,397
I spent ten years writing
the screenplay on and off.

1430
01:29:20,481 --> 01:29:22,399
When I got close
to finishing the script,

1431
01:29:22,483 --> 01:29:24,943
I felt I needed
to understand the character

1432
01:29:25,027 --> 01:29:26,904
I was going to play in my movie.

1433
01:29:26,987 --> 01:29:29,656
I started writing
a one-man play.

1434
01:29:31,158 --> 01:29:34,119
I play the character
of Mark Twain,

1435
01:29:34,203 --> 01:29:37,498
who was arguably
America’s greatest writer.

1436
01:29:37,581 --> 01:29:40,793
He was also
the first stand-up comedian.

1437
01:30:00,521 --> 01:30:02,189
I speak cow.

1438
01:30:03,565 --> 01:30:05,859
It’s very hard to write
a good movie,

1439
01:30:05,943 --> 01:30:09,321
and I’ve been trying to write
a great movie.

1440
01:30:09,404 --> 01:30:12,825
Uh, I might even... I might
even go further than that,

1441
01:30:12,908 --> 01:30:16,537
say I’m trying to write
a classic.

1442
01:30:16,620 --> 01:30:20,040
In order to bring Twain
to life onstage,

1443
01:30:20,124 --> 01:30:22,668
I needed money and a lot of it.

1444
01:30:22,751 --> 01:30:26,004
And at the time, I was in
a lot of debt from the divorce,

1445
01:30:26,088 --> 01:30:28,132
and the economy had crashed.

1446
01:30:28,215 --> 01:30:30,717
The only thing I had
of significant value

1447
01:30:30,801 --> 01:30:34,638
was the 6,000 acres of land
I’d accumulated in New Mexico,

1448
01:30:34,721 --> 01:30:38,100
with the dream of one day
building an artist community.

1449
01:30:39,893 --> 01:30:41,895
It was going to be my legacy

1450
01:30:41,979 --> 01:30:45,065
that I passed on to my children
and their children.

1451
01:30:46,150 --> 01:30:47,818
I made the impossible choice

1452
01:30:47,901 --> 01:30:49,987
to sell the land
that was so dear to me

1453
01:30:50,070 --> 01:30:51,864
in order to pay off my debts

1454
01:30:51,947 --> 01:30:55,617
and pursue the role I believed
I was destined to play.

1455
01:30:58,078 --> 01:31:00,289
If a man picks up a cat

1456
01:31:00,372 --> 01:31:03,250
by the tail,
he learns something about life

1457
01:31:03,333 --> 01:31:06,253
that he cannot learn
in any other way.

1458
01:31:09,214 --> 01:31:12,843
Man is the only animal
that blushes,

1459
01:31:12,926 --> 01:31:15,095
or needs to.

1460
01:31:15,179 --> 01:31:19,141
Civilization is
the limitless multiplication

1461
01:31:19,224 --> 01:31:21,894
of unnecessary necessities.

1462
01:31:23,395 --> 01:31:28,025
If you had to pick a narrator
for the story of America,

1463
01:31:28,108 --> 01:31:31,111
you can’t name...

1464
01:31:31,195 --> 01:31:36,074
a more qualified man, because...

1465
01:31:36,158 --> 01:31:39,494
he really understood everything.

1466
01:31:50,964 --> 01:31:53,508
Please forgive me
if you’re having trouble

1467
01:31:53,592 --> 01:31:56,720
hearing me in the back.

1468
01:31:56,803 --> 01:31:58,555
I’m dead.

1469
01:32:01,934 --> 01:32:04,561
Please forgive me
if you’re having trouble

1470
01:32:04,645 --> 01:32:07,147
hearing me in the back.

1471
01:32:08,732 --> 01:32:10,651

01:33:58,091 --> 01:34:00,802
Twain lost his river.

1496
01:34:00,886 --> 01:34:02,637
I lost my river.

1497
01:34:02,721 --> 01:34:04,264
I took a measureless pride

1498
01:34:04,348 --> 01:34:07,684
in being a steamboat captain.

1499
01:34:07,768 --> 01:34:10,354
He lost his daughters.

1500
01:34:11,396 --> 01:34:14,608
I lost my brother.

1501
01:34:14,691 --> 01:34:16,068
I stopped writing

1502
01:34:16,151 --> 01:34:18,987
my autobiography that day.

1503
01:34:19,071 --> 01:34:22,949
Twain had to go
on the road to pay his debts.

1504
01:34:23,033 --> 01:34:25,786
I’m on the road to pay my debts.

1505
01:34:25,869 --> 01:34:28,205
In a one-man show,

1506
01:34:28,288 --> 01:34:30,499
Kilmer takes on
the life of Mark Twain.

1507
01:34:30,582 --> 01:34:33,210
I can probably
self-finance the movie

1508
01:34:33,293 --> 01:34:35,545
in about three years
of doing the play,

1509
01:34:35,629 --> 01:34:37,756
so I’m out on the road now.

1510
01:34:39,716 --> 01:34:41,361
Are you gonna bring it
to New York, maybe Broadway?

1511
01:34:41,385 --> 01:34:43,029
Yes, yes. I’ve been
meeting producers here,

1512
01:34:43,053 --> 01:34:44,596
- and, uh, I don’t have a...
- Yes!

1513
01:34:44,679 --> 01:34:46,515
Bring this to Broadway!

1514
01:34:46,598 --> 01:34:47,682
- I’ll do it!
- Yes!

1515
01:34:47,766 --> 01:34:49,434
- I’ll do it here.
- You must do it!

1516
01:34:49,518 --> 01:34:51,895
♪ Knock, knock, knockin’... ♪

1517
01:34:51,978 --> 01:34:55,565
What’s the most important
question in the world?

1518
01:34:55,649 --> 01:34:58,193
Why are we here?

1519
01:34:58,276 --> 01:35:00,362
’Cause you paid 70 bucks. I...

1520
01:35:25,387 --> 01:35:28,098
When I...

1521
01:35:28,181 --> 01:35:30,684
was away, uh,
our youngest daughter,

1522
01:35:30,767 --> 01:35:34,062
our favorite daughter...

1523
01:35:35,397 --> 01:35:37,566
Susy, died of a broken heart

1524
01:35:37,649 --> 01:35:41,570
because I was away too long
touring to pay my debts

1525
01:35:41,653 --> 01:35:44,072
because of my folly.

1526
01:35:46,283 --> 01:35:49,911
And my wife took ill
and she also passed.

1527
01:35:51,079 --> 01:35:52,747
I used my influence

1528
01:35:52,831 --> 01:35:57,169
to get our youngest daughter,
Jean,

1529
01:35:57,252 --> 01:36:00,297
released from the sanatorium.

1530
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:09,431
My poor Ophelia...

1531
01:36:11,016 --> 01:36:15,479
drowned in a bathtub in 1909.

1532
01:36:18,315 --> 01:36:21,693
My poor Ophelia

1533
01:36:21,776 --> 01:36:25,113
drowned in a bathtub in 1909,

1534
01:36:25,197 --> 01:36:27,949
the last year I suffered Earth.

1535
01:36:32,204 --> 01:36:35,457
How do you heal a broken heart?

1536
01:36:40,754 --> 01:36:45,133
What are the words
that heal a broken heart?

1537
01:36:47,135 --> 01:36:50,680
I know that’s not the most
important question in the world,

1538
01:36:50,764 --> 01:36:55,894
but that’s the ball and chain
around my memory tonight.

1539
01:37:32,138 --> 01:37:35,725
I was getting ready to put
on Citizen Twain in Nashville

1540
01:37:35,809 --> 01:37:38,103
when I lost my voice.

1541
01:37:39,729 --> 01:37:43,483
I postponed the show for what I
thought would be a month or two.

1542
01:37:44,943 --> 01:37:46,695
My voice didn’t get better.

1543
01:37:46,778 --> 01:37:49,823
It got worse, and one day
I started coughing up blood

1544
01:37:49,906 --> 01:37:52,492
and was rushed to the hospital.

1545
01:37:54,119 --> 01:37:57,622
Through treatment and prayer,
I slowly recovered,

1546
01:37:57,706 --> 01:38:01,751
but how much I would regain
my voice remained unknown.

1547
01:38:03,378 --> 01:38:07,257
I wrestled with the possibility
of my career being over,

1548
01:38:07,340 --> 01:38:10,385
and fell into darkness.

1549
01:38:13,138 --> 01:38:16,099
If heaven exists, what would
you like to hear God say

1550
01:38:16,182 --> 01:38:18,476
when you arrive
at the pearly gates?

1551
01:38:19,352 --> 01:38:22,981
Well, I had this dream once.

1552
01:38:24,816 --> 01:38:27,611
And, uh...

1553
01:38:27,694 --> 01:38:29,779
this happened.

1554
01:38:31,197 --> 01:38:36,494
And she opened
what would be her arms,

1555
01:38:36,578 --> 01:38:40,749
that feeling, and enveloped me
and said, "I love you."

1556
01:38:55,764 --> 01:38:58,683
In the hospital,
I began to paint again.

1557
01:39:02,771 --> 01:39:05,023
The way we did
when we were kids.

1558
01:39:08,652 --> 01:39:10,904
When I finally got out,
I threw myself

1559
01:39:10,987 --> 01:39:13,073
into making art.

1560
01:39:18,286 --> 01:39:20,789
I found a studio big enough
for my ideas.

1561
01:39:23,291 --> 01:39:27,128
That studio has become
a sacred space

1562
01:39:27,212 --> 01:39:29,005
where artists gather
and collaborate...

1563
01:39:30,715 --> 01:39:32,384
and help the next generation
of artists

1564
01:39:32,467 --> 01:39:34,052
in our community grow.

1565
01:39:36,513 --> 01:39:38,473
Here on Earth,

1566
01:39:38,556 --> 01:39:40,517
the distance
between heaven and hell

1567
01:39:40,600 --> 01:39:44,521
is the difference
between faith and doubt.

1568
01:39:44,604 --> 01:39:48,358
I have no doubt, for example,
my recent illness shut down

1569
01:39:48,441 --> 01:39:52,487
professional opportunities that
were not opportunities at all.

1570
01:39:53,780 --> 01:39:55,824
Healing is not born of vanity.

1571
01:39:55,907 --> 01:39:57,784
It is born of honesty.

1572
01:39:57,867 --> 01:40:00,912
Honesty is born of pure love.

1573
01:40:00,995 --> 01:40:04,165
And love is
the most divine healer,

1574
01:40:04,249 --> 01:40:08,461
the sweetest, holiest
and most effective.

1575
01:40:11,756 --> 01:40:15,093
So we’re going out to Malibu

1576
01:40:15,176 --> 01:40:19,055
because of
my wonderful little church,

1577
01:40:19,139 --> 01:40:20,515
and

1578
01:40:20,598 --> 01:40:24,144
my members there,
I love them very much.

1579
01:40:25,645 --> 01:40:29,774
I’ve studied
all the major religions.

1580
01:40:29,858 --> 01:40:32,861
I’ve always been
interested in religions,

1581
01:40:32,944 --> 01:40:33,987
and

1582
01:40:34,070 --> 01:40:35,947
often when I meet someone,

1583
01:40:36,030 --> 01:40:38,199
I’ll end up
talking about their faith.

1584
01:40:38,283 --> 01:40:39,909
I’ll ask them.

1585
01:40:50,086 --> 01:40:52,046
You okay?

1586
01:40:58,219 --> 01:41:00,597
- I can’t help it.
- That’s not funny.

1587
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,640
I’m a bastard.

1588
01:41:02,724 --> 01:41:05,393
- Not funny.
- And I love you.

1589
01:41:05,477 --> 01:41:07,395
Not funny.

1590
01:41:10,607 --> 01:41:12,400
It’s very, very funny.

1591
01:41:15,904 --> 01:41:17,655
Malibu, six miles.

1592
01:41:21,409 --> 01:41:23,953
Oh, look at the ocean.

1593
01:41:25,914 --> 01:41:30,460
What would happen if
I went into this church service

1594
01:41:30,543 --> 01:41:35,548
and I came out
speaking perfectly well?

1595
01:41:35,632 --> 01:41:37,842
Thanks be to God

1596
01:41:37,926 --> 01:41:41,971
which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1597
01:41:42,055 --> 01:41:47,560
Our master fully and finally
demonstrated divine science

1598
01:41:47,644 --> 01:41:50,939
in his victory over death
and the grave.

1599
01:41:55,026 --> 01:41:59,030
It’s a very good lesson
for me to study

1600
01:41:59,113 --> 01:42:01,324
about victory over the grave.

1601
01:42:08,540 --> 01:42:11,584
I think we got time
for one more story, don’t we?

1602
01:42:11,668 --> 01:42:13,419
I’m gonna tell you
one more story.

1603
01:42:13,503 --> 01:42:16,756
This is as humble
as I’m willing to get.

1604
01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:29,727
I’ve wanted to tell
a story about acting

1605
01:42:29,811 --> 01:42:31,729
for a very long time.

1606
01:42:32,897 --> 01:42:34,357
About truth.

1607
01:42:35,483 --> 01:42:37,110
And illusion.

1608
01:42:37,193 --> 01:42:39,112
My sermon’s gonna be about

1609
01:42:39,195 --> 01:42:41,364
truth and illusion.

1610
01:42:41,447 --> 01:42:43,658
The truth is,

1611
01:42:43,741 --> 01:42:45,577
in order to find each character,

1612
01:42:45,660 --> 01:42:48,454
I’ve had to put
a little bit of me in them

1613
01:42:48,538 --> 01:42:51,332
and find a little bit
of them in me.

1614
01:42:53,084 --> 01:42:55,795
I’ve lived in the illusion

1615
01:42:55,879 --> 01:42:58,965
almost as much as
I’ve lived outside of it.

1616
01:42:59,048 --> 01:43:01,342
I have behaved poorly.

1617
01:43:02,468 --> 01:43:04,429
I have behaved bravely.

1618
01:43:04,512 --> 01:43:07,557
I have behaved bizarrely,
to some.

1619
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:11,561
I deny none of this and have
no regrets because I’ve lost

1620
01:43:11,644 --> 01:43:15,189
and found parts of myself
that I never knew existed.

1621
01:43:16,024 --> 01:43:18,276
And I am blessed.

1622
01:43:38,129 --> 01:43:39,589
Action.

1623
01:43:41,132 --> 01:43:43,301
Let’s just say
I was testing the bounds

1624
01:43:43,384 --> 01:43:45,720
of reality.

1625
01:43:47,096 --> 01:43:49,682
That’s all. I was curious.

1626
01:43:49,766 --> 01:43:53,269
Like Erich von Stroheim
in the movies.

1627
01:43:53,353 --> 01:43:56,022
The man you love to hate.

1628
01:43:57,023 --> 01:43:59,275
It’s meant to be ironic,

1629
01:43:59,359 --> 01:44:02,695
like courage wants to laugh.

1630
01:44:02,779 --> 01:44:07,116
But essentially,
it’s a stupid situation.

1631
01:44:07,200 --> 01:44:09,994
I go out onstage
and howl for people.

1632
01:44:10,078 --> 01:44:14,582
O, vengeance!

1633
01:44:18,586 --> 01:44:21,798
What an ass am I.

1634
01:44:23,132 --> 01:44:26,052
In me, they see
exactly what they want to see.

1635
01:44:26,135 --> 01:44:28,137
Some say a lizard king,

1636
01:44:28,221 --> 01:44:31,599
whatever that means.

1637
01:44:31,683 --> 01:44:34,602
Some black-clad leather demon,
whatever that means.

1638
01:44:36,771 --> 01:44:38,648
But really,

1639
01:44:38,731 --> 01:44:41,818
I see myself as a...

1640
01:44:41,901 --> 01:44:44,612
sensitive, intelligent
human being...

1641
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:48,950
but with the soul of a clown.

1642
01:44:51,577 --> 01:44:53,371
Here’s what I preach.

1643
01:44:53,454 --> 01:44:57,041
Do what you love to do
so well...

1644
01:44:57,125 --> 01:44:59,419
I’m thrilled. It excites me.

1645
01:44:59,502 --> 01:45:02,005
That’s why working here
is so stimulating.

1646
01:45:02,088 --> 01:45:04,298
that someone will
pay you wages for it.

1647
01:45:05,925 --> 01:45:10,596
And then sometimes
there is God so quickly.

1648
01:45:11,723 --> 01:45:14,142
Am I the conscience of America?

1649
01:45:14,225 --> 01:45:16,102
No, I leave that to my betters.

1650
01:45:18,062 --> 01:45:20,940
Perhaps I am the narrator.

1651
01:45:22,108 --> 01:45:23,401
Yes, that’s it.

1652
01:45:23,484 --> 01:45:25,862
All you need is
ignorance and confidence,

1653
01:45:25,945 --> 01:45:28,698
and success is sure.

1654
01:45:30,033 --> 01:45:32,702
Don’t let go
of your illusions though.

1655
01:45:32,785 --> 01:45:36,581
When they are gone,
you may still exist,

1656
01:45:36,664 --> 01:45:39,542
but you have ceased to live.
