More from Stanley Kubrick
"The difference between a good film and a bad film is that a good film is never finished, and a bad film is never started."
"I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists. Neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are."
"The great problem with people is that they believe they have to be in love to be happy. They don’t. They have to be in love to reproduce."
"The most overrated film of all time is 'Citizen Kane'."
"The most dangerous animal in the world is a human being with a good idea and a bad 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.
