More from Stanley Kubrick
"I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything by using fear as the basic motivation."
"Never, ever go near power. Don't become friends with anyone who has real power. It's dangerous."
"I've never been certain whether the world is run by smart men who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
"The purpose of art is to make us feel. Not necessarily to make us happy."
"The very nature of the film medium demands that the director be a kind of dictator. You have to be."
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.
