More from Stanley Kubrick
"The screen is a magic medium. It has power that can transform a person's life. It can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can make you think. It can change your mind."
"I'm not interested in making films for critics. I'm interested in making films for audiences, and if they like them, that's all that matters."
"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."
"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 thing that's always fascinated me about movies is that they're a dream that you can share with other people."
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.
