More from Stanley Kubrick
"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."
"Never having had a religious upbringing, I'm not burdened by any of the guilt that seems to go along with it."
"I'm not interested in making films that are purely entertainment. I want to make films that make people think."
"I think that the greatest works of art are the ones that are the most ambiguous, that can be interpreted in many different ways."
"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."
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.
