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.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"I don't like to talk about my films. I like to let them speak for themselves."
"If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."
"I think that the human mind is a very fragile thing, and that it can be easily corrupted."
"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."
"Perhaps it's a good thing that we are not always able to understand the things we create."
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.
