According to Matthew Modine (Pvt. Joker) in an interview with Philadelphia radio station WMMR's Preston & Steve Show on May 19, 2017, originally and throughout the shoot, Joker was supposed to die in Vietnam. Director Stanley Kubrick had already scrapped an opening flashback to Joker's funeral, and kept asking Modine what he thought of Joker's death. During one creative argument, Modine blurted out that Joker should live. Kubrick pressed him as to why he should live and Modine explained that Joker saw his D.I. killed in basic training, the recruit he tried to help (Pyle) blow his brains out in a Parris Island head, the only man he knew from basic (Cowboy) die in his arms during battle, and a teen aged female sniper killed by his own hand. Joker had to live because living with those experiences were worse than dying and "that's the real horror of war." Kubrick replied, "that's the end of the movie." Modine never knew if he convinced Kubrick to change the end or if Kubrick already planned the ending and just confirmed it when Modine said it.
