More from Stanley Kubrick
"Perhaps it's a good thing that we are not always able to understand the things we create."
"I think that the most important thing for a filmmaker is to have a strong vision and to stick to it, no matter what."
"I've always been interested in the dark side of things."
"The great thing about being a director is that you get to play God. You get to create your own world, and you get to control everything in it."
"Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all."
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.
