More from Stanley Kubrick
"The truth of a thing is in the feeling of it, not in the thinking of it."
"The very meaning of life is suffering. We are born to suffer, to suffer to help others to suffer."
"I think that the human mind is a very fragile thing, and that it can be easily corrupted."
"I think that the most important thing for a filmmaker is to have a strong vision and to stick to it, no matter what."
"It's Funny How The Colors Of The Real World Only Seem Really Real When You Viddy Them On The Screen."
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.
