More from Stanley Kubrick
"The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it goes along, even when the mind wants to wander."
"I think that the most important thing for a filmmaker is to have a strong vision and to stick to it, no matter what."
"The very meaning of life is suffering. We are born to suffer, to suffer to help others to suffer."
"If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered."
"I have always been interested in the question of how to be human."
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.
