I think that this documentary spends too much time on "Eyes Wide Shut" and not enough on his other much better monumental films. It's almost as if they are trying to explain away the reasoning behind why Stanley Kubrick did this movie in the first place. That is my main question about "Eyes Wide Shut": Why did he do it? I thought it was the most "unKubrickian" movie in his filmography. I know that his movies are all diverse genres but I still can't believe that he made this movie. I know that it was very well shot with impeccable scenes and dialogue but something is just not right with this movie being in Stanley's catalog . Maybe I'll understand the reasoning behind it someday.
Too bad the credit was cut out at the end of this video. I might be mistaken but I believe the music at the end was the same as 'Far from the madding crowd.' Kubrick was/is the master. His films are beyond time.
Back in the 80s, when just a teen, access to great films wasn’t so ubiquitous as today - that is until the revolution of VHS rentals. A friend and I got together and watched Kubrick’s masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was never the same. Now there were “movies” and then there were “films.” I eventually collected every single Kubrick film made, including his earliest ones. I must’ve watched each one over a few dozen times. Each repeated viewing was always as interesting as the first time. Decades later, I still feel the same.
1:56:20 It’s too bad they couldn’t have released both Holocaust films like Barbenheimer!! Although I doubt that Kubrick would’ve been able to do that since Spielberg shot films so fast and Kubrick…
I don't really understand what's going on at 1:59:50, are they suggesting that he actually shot an intruder?? or is the point that the story was entirely fabricated by the tabloids?
I grew up on a council estate in St'Albans Stanley lived in Childwickbury manor about a thousand miles away but only about a mile and a half away in reality. We used to ride our bikes around Childwickbury and by his house. Never knew it was Mr Kubricks place until I was about 18. A friend of mine cleaned his house and when her husband died (my best mates brother) who was only 28 Stanley took her out for lunch with Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise, which is crazy taking his cleaner out with the biggest film star in the world to maker her feel better!
How many deepfakes does it take for my neighbors to realize that it aint foolin anyone...except maybe foolin yourself you fake ass scardy lame who bas to hide behind tecnlogy
Jack Nicholson is one of those rare people who voice alone is enough to make any scene he's in iconic...he's the very definition of Force of Nature....Jack doesnt become the role...the role becomes Jack....
STANLEY RECEIVED A LOT OF MONEY FROM NASA IN 1960. HE IS AN FRAUD. AMERICA NEVER GOES TO THE MOON STANLEY MADE A FAKE MOON VIDEO FOR NASA. BECAUSE THE VAN ALLEN BELT WrapS AROUND THE EARTH. NO LIVING ORGANISM CAN PASS THAT GENERATION. NO METAL CAN ISOLATE THAT BELT.
1:34:06 - 1:34:23 I love Jack Nicholson but this statement is contradictory and I haven't got a clue what he's talking about when he refers to Kubrick's films as being 'completely conscious'.
I've long felt that the unique originality of Stanley Kubrick's place amongst the great directors of his age is that he remained largely independent and was not owned by any film studio/corporation. While the term "recluse" is largely seen as someone that is considered a disturbed lost soul; he was anything but that. His integrity of discipline and wish to choose time with family and friends over yet another film project, remains for me the most telling point of his enduring legacy. Similar to Daniel Day Lewis, who didn't have to take on an infinite amount of rolls to make a name for himself, neither did Stanley Kubrick need to keep the reels rolling to do the same.
You call KUBRICK just “Outstanding” ?? He is Top English speaking director, and One of the Best filmmakers of All Times! He is among Bach, Shostakovich, Wagner, but in Cinema.✌️🎩
I loved it I wish however to learn more about Kubrick I’m curious was he religious was he a vegan what did he read what was his political views? Hopefully one day someone who knew him well would write a book that sheds some light on it Something tells me there was a lot more to him than movies chess and pets.
