in this thread we discuss the bare genius that is stanley kubrick.

i beleive stanley kubrick is the most aesthestically intellectual and best director of our time. my favorite movie by him is 2001, just because i beleive the genius of that film will never be equaled. something about it. From the soundtrack in his film to the way he sets his shots up its all pure genius. read his biography and you'll see he started out as a photographer and how much of a perfectionist he is. i read an interview where he stated he is always thinking about how he shoots, every angle, every possibility is considered, its a real shame he is gone, as we are left with a void filled with soulless shit now, but the filmography he left behind is unequaled in terms of quality among ANY director that ever has lived or ever will live.

Re: stanley kubrick

waste of time imo ^^^

but kubrick was a brilliant director. love all his films but especially Full Metal Jacket...still so relevant

Re: stanley kubrick

what do you make of 2001 ?

Re: stanley kubrick

Eyes Wide Shut has a final masterpiece. and A Clockwork Orange another great movie from him. His style was unique.

Re: stanley kubrick

never caught 2001. i really need to make a point to rent the dvd.

first film i saw from him was Full Metal Jacket. christ i was 12 or something. young i remember. mom didn't care what i watched when she wasn't home. after that The Shining became my favorite film of his. the special effects are at a minimum and the characters are pretty believable with nicholson in lead of course. very creepy film i will watch time and again. next favorite has to be A Clockwork Orange. that movie is simply twisted but underneath all the freak and wack, there is a strong message that what comes around goes around. Eyes Wide Shut is decent. i can't really get any meaning out of the movie. cheating is bad etc etc. other than it being very eye candy oriented and nice to look at i don't feel it posseses much plot.

started watching dr strangelove recently for the first time, but due to heavy intoxiacation i couldn't continue.

kubrick was all class. his movies will be studied for decades to come.
