More from Stanley Kubrick
"The great problem with people is that they don't know what they want."
"I'm not interested in making films that are purely entertainment. I want to make films that make people think."
"The most terrifying thing is to accept that there is no meaning to life, and then to go on and create your own meaning."
"The greatest danger in life is not to take the adventure."
"I think that the greatest works of art are the ones that are the most ambiguous, that can be interpreted in many different ways."
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.
