You can't make a movie for the critics. You have to make it for yourself and hope that enough people like it.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"The greatest victory is to conquer yourself."
"The most overrated film of all time is 'Citizen Kane'."
"Perhaps it's a good thing that human beings are not immortal. If they were, they'd get tired of living and fall into a state of profound boredom. It's the knowledge of death that makes life precious."
"The only way to deal with the insane is to become insane yourself."
"A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later."
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.
