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.

"I think that the greatest works of art are the ones that are the most ambiguous, that can be interpreted in many different ways."
"What I'm trying to do is make films that are a little bit ahead of their time, that will still be relevant in twenty or thirty years."
"The only way to make a good film is to be obsessed."
"The future is always a little more complicated than you think."
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.
