More from Stanley Kubrick
"The most important thing for any director is to have a good script. If you don't have a good script, you might as well not bother."
"The truth is that most people are not very bright."
"The really terrifying thing about 'The Shining' is that it's a story about a man who goes mad and tries to kill his family. And that's something that can happen to anyone."
"There's something in the human personality which resents things that are clear, and conversely, something which is attracted to things that are vague, mysterious, or even a little opaque."
"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."
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.
