More from Stanley Kubrick
"You can't make a film without being a bit of a dictator. You have to be able to say, 'This is what I want,' and everyone else has to follow."
"I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect film. It's an impossibility."
"I don't think there's any such thing as a happy ending. I think there's just an ending."
"I don't believe in God, but I'm not an atheist. I'm an agnostic. I don't know if there's a God or not, and I don't think anyone else does either."
"Violence is one of the most dramatic forms of human interaction."
About Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999)
American filmmaker (2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr. Strangelove, The Shining) whose perfectionist year-long shoots and 100-take method redefined auteurist cinema. Closely associated with Orson Welles (auteur predecessor and Citizen Kane director) and Steven Spielberg (younger collaborator (A.I. Artificial Intelligence)). For an intellectual contrast, see Quentin Tarantino, postmodern American filmmaker — Kubrick's films erase influences into singular monolithic vision; Tarantino's foreground every reference as a deliberate tribute. The two opposite ways auteurist cinema can be made.
