More from Stanley Kubrick
"I don't think there's any such thing as a truly objective film. Every film is a subjective interpretation of reality."
"The most important thing for an artist is to be true to himself, and not to compromise his vision for anyone else."
"I like to think of myself as a storyteller. That's what I am, essentially."
"The purpose of art is to make you think, to make you feel, to make you question the world around you."
"Man is a ape with a conscience."
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.
