More from Stanley Kubrick
"The great thing about being a director is that you get to play God. You get to create your own world, and you get to control everything in it."
"One of the most important things in life is to be able to laugh at yourself."
"I don't think that films should provide answers. I think they should raise questions."
"The most important thing for any director is to have a good script. If you don't have a good script, you might as well not bother."
"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.
