More from Stanley Kubrick
"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."
"I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect film. It's an impossibility."
"I think that the human race is capable of great things, but it's also capable of great evil."
"To be honest, the end of the book [The Shining] seemed a bit hackneyed to me and not very interesting."
"What is there in the human spirit that makes it so difficult for us to be happy?"
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.
