More from Stanley Kubrick
"I'm not interested in making films that are politically correct. I'm interested in making films that are true to human nature, however ugly that may be."
"The very meaning of life is that it is a struggle. We are put on earth to struggle, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
"The greatest truth a man can learn is that there is no greatest truth."
"The greatest danger in life is not to take the adventure."
"I'm not interested in making films that are politically correct. I'm interested in making films that are honest, and that reflect the truth, even if it's an uncomfortable truth."
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.
