You can't make a movie for the critics. You have to make it for yourself and hope that enough people like it.

More from Stanley Kubrick
"I like to think of myself as a storyteller. That's what I am, essentially."
"I don't think there's any such thing as a perfect film. It's an impossibility."
"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."
"The thing about life is that it's a tragedy, but it's also a comedy. It's both at the same time."
"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."
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.
