Why do people like to pretend he's more talented than he actually was? Yes, he was talented, but in a limited sphere. Look at what he had done to lolita. He completely lacked the vision how to convey a literary work on screen. He developed a better eye by the time he got to clockwork orange, but the point still stands that he wasn't inherently embedded with an artist gene.

fuck off pedo

Im pretty sure Kubrick had some sort of super autism. He barely passed high school. Was a photographer for a couple of years. Then he made like 1 or 2 low budget movies and just walked into hollywood

Anti-Kubrick and Anti-Keanu contrarians are the best

Are you shitting me? Look at that magnificent bastard. That is the face of a passionate, half-crazed genius. I would pay to see a movie about the BTS of any of his films.

The beginning part is me. How do I land into a high position in Hollywood so I can utilize my autism?

>He completely lacked the vision how to convey a literary work on screen.
Almost every single film he made was a book adaptation.

change your name to moshe goldberg stein and make it the 1960s instead of 2019

Dude used to leave multi-paged notes for his house sitter on how to feed his cat.

It's super autism for sure but that's why he had such a focus on the details.

He got lost in his work and it shows in everything.

His most famous one wasn't. 2001 was written afterwards.

I think actors loved working for him. Even set clips on Eyes Wide Shut you have fucking Tom Cruise barely making a presence and just nodding along at every direction he gave him.

it was written at the same time, they literally collaborated with each other

The reason Lolita and Paths of glory felt watered down was because of the standards at the time. They weren't allowed to do too racey things, studios barred things, censorship etc, which is why he moved to england, he'd had enough of it. And why things like clockwrok orange were great at the time because no one had done anything that insane in a big way before

> Frederic Raphael, who authored the Eyes Wide Shut script for Kubrick recalled that Kubrick once remarked that "Hitler was right about almost everything," and insisted that any trace of Jewishness be expunged from the "Eyes Wide Shut" script. Kubrick's bizarre relationship to his own ethnicity deeply troubled Raphael, a fellow Jew. Raphael was further puzzled over Kubrick's cryptic praise for Hitler, unable to decide if Kubrick was jesting. Raphael was equally puzzled by Kubrick's trashing of Schindler's List. "That was about success, wasn't it?" Kubrick reportedly said about Spielberg's movie, "The Holocaust is about six million people who get killed; 'Schindler's List' was about six hundred people who don't."

I wish I could be more “critical” about it but Kubrick is literally perfect and I don’t trust any filmmaker that doesn’t worship him

There is the great quote by Kubrick i cant remember. He said he wanted to make his movies like a Beatles album. He wanted to appeal to some trucker in the middle of nowhere and to an ivey league guy.
He wanted to make movies that were art but also for the proles

>people
nope. only hack snyder cult and plebbit loves this guy. he is the definition of hack
>muh glorious cinematography
yeah? good visuals are not the only criteria to be a good director. ensuring good story, scores, character are some of the many duties a director has.

He accomplished it for sure. I love all his work but whenever his threads get into deep discussion all that goes right over my head and I didn't even realize it at the time.

He also said something very sappy.

That despite all our differences we are all connected by emotions

They're kind of their own genre in some ways at least in the way they're filmed. Instead of trying to superficially add things for a perceived audience he just turned the projects into some pretty deep dives, enough to latch onto multiple things.

For the life of me I can't even picture what Kubrick sequel would be like. It doesn't seem possible.

I rewatched a.i. with a friend who's a brand new mom and she made mention the entire film was like a bullet pointed list of every uncertainty and fear a new parent could have. I've never caught that but fuck me she was exactly right.

> I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the world.

There's just something deeply unnerving about a boy automaton programmed for unconditional love.

When he was directing the voice actor for Teddy, he didn't let him read the script or know anything so he would come out drab and monotone.

I imagine if he ever did a full out horror film it'd be balls to the wall.

All of which he has.
