More from Stanley Kubrick
"No. To see a film once and write a review is an absurdity. Yet very few critics ever see a film twice or write about films from a leisurely, thoughtful perspective."
"The most important thing for an artist is to be true to himself, and not to compromise his vision for anyone else."
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
"I've always been interested in the dark side of things. I think it's because it's where the real drama is."
"The Holocaust was about Jews being killed, but the real story is that six million people were killed for no reason."
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.
