More from Stanley Kubrick
"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything."
"I do not believe in God, but I am very interested in the possibility that there is something else."
"I never learned anything at all in school and didn't read a book for pleasure until I was 19 years old."
"The human mind is a wonderful thing. It starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public."
"I don't like to talk about my films. I like to let them speak for themselves."
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.
