"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
"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 think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything."
"The very meaninglessness of life forces a man to create his own meaning."
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.
