More from Stanley Kubrick
"The most important thing for me is to try to make films that are interesting to me, and that I would want to see."
"Full Metal Jacket suggests there is more to say about war than it is just bad."
"The very meaninglessness of life forces a man to create his own meaning."
"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."
"The thing about movies is that they're a reflection of life, but they're also a way of escaping from it."
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.
