More from Stanley Kubrick
"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
"Violence is one of the most dramatic forms of human interaction."
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
"I've always been fascinated by the dark side of human nature. I think it's important to explore that, to understand it, even if it's uncomfortable."
"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."
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.
