What is it that makes a film good? It's the ability to surprise you, to make you think, to make you feel something you haven't felt before.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"The biggest lie in the world is that you can't do something."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
"I think that man is a very dangerous animal, and that he has a great capacity for evil."
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
"I've always been interested in the dark side of things. I think it's because it's where the real drama is."
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.
