I think the best plots are the ones that are not too obvious, that are sort of hidden in the subtext, so that you have to think about them a bit.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"The only way to make a good film is to be obsessed."
"I do not believe in God, but I am very interested in the possibility that there is something else."
"I'm not interested in making films that are politically correct. I'm interested in making films that are true to human nature, however ugly that may be."
"Perhaps it's a good thing that human beings are not immortal. If they were, they'd get tired of living and fall into a state of profound boredom. It's the knowledge of death that makes life precious."
"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."
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.
