More from Stanley Kubrick
"Perhaps it's a good thing that we are not always able to understand the things we create."
"I like to work with actors who are a little bit crazy."
"I've never been interested in making films that are easy to understand. I want to make films that challenge people, that make them think."
"What I'm trying to do is make films that are a little bit ahead of their time, that will still be relevant in twenty or thirty years."
"The problem with most people is that they're not willing to take risks. They want to play it safe, and that's why they never achieve anything great."
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.
