Mann, I sometimes wish that I was born in the late 80's or 90's so that I could've experienced what the world was like before the internet became dominant, social media was around and the rise of smartphones!
Actually, the ketchup scene is one of many that makes Goodfellas great. It's the (seemingly) little things that enchant us and bring us closer into their world.
There will never be another Kubrick. EWS was his magnum opus and he for sure was trying to tell a story that some very powerful people didn’t want him to tell
The Shining overrunning also impacted Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back which was filmed in the same studio. Even more so when one of the stages burned down
He was successful and people liked his work, “His” work. His vision, which he thought through and wanted to be shown correctly. Who is it for people to cry about him. It’s his work
Seriously overrated Director…I have only enjoyed three of his films…2001, Spartacus and Dr Strangelove…found most of his others were watchable, but sterile and inert….Also, he was a loathsome jerk of a human…just NOT worth putting up with a nasty bully
I commented suggesting to make a video about Kubrick when you brought the shining in your "hardest films to make" video. Thanks for accepting my suggestion. :)))
The ironic thing is that Kubrick put his actors through all that work and yet, despite the great work he made, he never won an Oscar for best director.
Why didn't you talk about Kubrick's unrealized projects, like "Napoleon" and "Aryan Papers", and how some of those unfinished projects have caused long gaps between movies like between "Full Metal Jacket" and "Eyes Wide Shut", which were 12 year apart with nothing in between? Or how The Beatles approached Kubrick to direct them in a "Lord Of The Rings" film adaptation (not kidding)?
We hired them. They must do anything the director want as long as it not about sexual, violence and not too much torture I think in shelley duvall case is the only case is stanley kubrick do too much
It must be tough trying to live up to being the "master" that everyone has you made out to be. You have to come up with films that try way too hard to impress theatergoers instead of making quiet, organic films like Ozu.
he was probably one of the first hollywood director whom i was facinated with. One day i somehwo stumbled on the trailer of 2001 a space dddysey, and i was shocked learning that it was from 1968. Then when i saw it, i knew he was some beast. Then the shining and A clockwork orange. Sad that he just made 13 films, but all of them are masterpieces. The greatest movie director of all time for me.
