"The great problem with people is that they believe they have to be in love to be happy. They don’t. They have to be in love to reproduce."
"I don't think that films should provide answers. I think they should raise questions."
"I'm not interested in making films that are politically correct. I'm interested in making films that are honest, and that reflect the truth, even if it's an uncomfortable truth."
"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything."
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.
