More from Stanley Kubrick
"I think that the greatest works of art are the ones that are the most ambiguous, that can be interpreted in many different ways."
"The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can be meaningful."
"The greatest enemy of art is good taste."
"Never having had a religious upbringing, I'm not burdened by any of the guilt that seems to go along with it."
"I think that the human mind is a very fragile thing, and that it can be easily corrupted."
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.
