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.
I'm glad to see so many people citing Kubrick as their inspiration, calling him a genius, etc... I've been talking to too many people saying Tarantino is a god, praising other film directors like Nolan like a deity, and so on. They're good at their craft, but nothing as groundbreaking as Kubrick!
@@nobad6843they’re both great film makers at the top of their game..world class..but like all film makers standing on the shoulders of giants and Kubrick was a giant among giants..
There is no film like a Stanley Kubrick film. When you see his films, it's like experiencing a new medium of art. Truly. The imagery, the vivid colors, the direction, the camera work. It is a true genuine shame that he died.
@@victorparedes4863 No, as a matter of fact, I'm embarrassed for him. There's nothing more shameful on a man than death. I certainly didn't see it coming. lol
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.
@@gavinbrando8255 It's really weird how people treat his death as some untimely tragedy. He'd been making movies since the early 50s -- he had one of the fullest careers of any filmmaker, and his final film became one of his most beloved. Sure, a heart attack is always gonna be sad, but the dude was 70 years old.
***** The question is: "can you make a Kubrick film in this day and age?" I don't think you can. No corporate studio head would stand for it. Just like no studio could stand a Sam Peckinpah or his type of film making. I wouldn't want to be "another Kubrick"; I would want to establish MY type of film making.
***** Him, Nolan, Tarantino are my favorites and the reason I want to be a director, as well. Their films are beyond phenomenal and just take you to a different place and no matter how disturbing, confusing or controversial they may be, they are always amazing
"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling." - Stanley Kubrick -
Kubrick took it to the next level because he had the creative spark that seems to be lacking in most of film makers today. There are a few exceptions but they could never achieve that high level of creativity and quality that only Kubrick could do with a movie camera, good script, and the process of directing.
I couldn't help but feel very sad at the end of this documentary about a man that changed cinema forever and is my personal favourite filmmaker and he always will be. Such an incredible man and his films were so far ahead of there time. Stanley will continue to inspire generations of aspiring filmmakers including myself. Thank you for your truly ground breaking films Stanley they hold a very special place in my life which was changed forever when I started seeing them.
All his movies are holiday for eyes Just look a year that movie is made and everything will be clear Paths of glory is masterpiece made 1957 Unbelievable
I tremendously enjoy this upload, of this documentary on the legend of one of the all time greatest directors in cinema history. Thank you Chase Beasley.
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.
With regards to Eyes Wide Shut, I had a boss in London who rubbed shoulders with high society in the 70's and 80's. In 1992, he told me a story, of how he ended up this party which turned into some type of ritual. There were people in robes chanting. He freaked out and left.
When I saw "2001: A Space Odyssey" in the theater, I thought I was having a seizure!-Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and GSU
I remember me an' a fren' leavin' outta' Clockwerk Orange feeling inspired an' ripping down the highway at full throttle, laughing like madmen. Fortunately we were in a VW and could only do 80 miles per hour. Art is a dangerous medium. Kubrick lives!
And now we have CGI physics defying comic book movies about peoplewho can fly and have super strengths. Another shining example of the decline of western civilization and the dumbing down of human beings. At least we can still watch Kubrick's ten or so masterpieces over and over and use our brains and emotions to thoroughly enjoy them.
Every film he ever made was an Epic in its own genre.He is up there with Lean as a wide screen Film Maker and all the other stuff aswell.It’s a tragic shame he couldn’t make all the Films he spent half of his life researching because of circumstance and the studio’s.
Personally, as much as I have respect for Stanley Kubrick, his approach to perfectionism in moviemaking had ended up becoming an obsession for him. It's no wonder that NOT everyone wanted to work with him for years. After all, Shelley Duvall was an example of what Kubrick did in the making of "The Shining" in 1980 and it even made her such an exhausted performer as a result.
@@DREADL Like what, for example? After all, Kubrick should have learned to be more compassionate towards actors and crew members on his films but his perfectionism had simply got in the way.
We want to see great works of art being made. We do not care about all that. Sound like a gossipy women,lol. We dont care if he treated Shelley like shit. She got over it. His attention to detail is how you get the films he made. To begin with. All great creative artists have an obsessiveness to them in their process. Its how they produce masterworks. The quality of the works produced speaks for itself.
@@MijoShrek Well, Shreky, your comment does so little to help with this issue and it is unfortunate that what Stanley Kubrick did with his approach to absolute perfectionism can often drive people to insanity as a price for cinematic achievement in the end. And who's "we" anyway, you pathetic numbnut fool? Like get a grip, will ya?
Eyes wide shut has become one of my favorite films.. I love it as a piece of art. It's truly one of the most haunting films I've ever watched. The thing that made Kubrick the best was that he wasn't trying to be an original, he just was an original. The sad fact is we live in a world where posers and cheap immitation is rewarded and originals are often buried by the plastic as they try to control their creative impulses. It's painful yet beautiful.
True, I've only seen Barry Lyndon once, but I loved it then. If some critics think its cinematography is better than Clockwork and 2001, I'll definitely watch it again.
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!
Thank you so much for sharing the pure magic of this SINGULAR...VISIONARY...FILMMAKER...What's that?...My eyes?...Oh, must have got something in them:)
Full Metal Jacket and my cousin recruited me into the Marine Corp. Nobody has ever overshadowed him in my book. Full Metal Jacket is the only Vietnam movie I still watch. Sorrry Oliver.
We were young and dumb. I am no longer young and hopefully not quite as dumb. I appreciate Kubrick for his direction and his cinematography and he's from my old "hood", da Bronx.
The soundtrack of the film is by composer and musician Jocelyn Pook, who had previously worked with Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut. As far as the last song I will try to find the exact name of it on the end credits
The Shining may not be as influential, but I think its cinematography is the most complex of all his films. The colors in the Outlook Hotel are intensely interesting, and the fact that it's one of the first movies to have Steadicam doesn't stop it from using the technology masterfully for elaborate shots. As a hidden detail, the Outlook has numerous instances of impossible architecture (there's a TH-cam video showing them) to disorientate the viewer. I'd put the Shining up there with his best.
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.
I love this documentary. I am a rabid Kubrick fan, but why did it have to be Cruise doing the narration. Was Malcolm Macdowell busy? Anyone but Cruise. Despite that it is a great portrait of a great director.I will never forget seeing A Clockwork Orange for the first time of HBO some twenty five or thirty years ago. Nothing was the same. The bar was raised just that much higher for films. Everything seemed dull and unimaginative after that experience. I knew he was someone to follow and I did.
Absolutely right-on! Nuttin' against Cruise, but Stanleys widow Christina would be a fine choice and voice for narration. And Thanks Stanley, for your infinite universial IMAGINATION and DRIVE!!!

Asking Woody Allen for his opinion of 2001 A Space Odyssey is like asking Ronald McDonald for his opinion of Cordon Bleu cooking. In many ways Allen and Kubrick were opposites as directors. Allen makes a film a year (and, sadly, it shows) whereas Kubrick often took several years to complete his films. And Allen is well-known for shooting very few takes (particularly when he wanted to get to a Knicks game), whereas Kubrick was famous for his preference for many takes and his perfectionism.

Dinastía Chow Fan Really, how fucking amazing is that movie!! And especially since it came out before any sort of computerized graphics. That movie looks amazing by todays standards- let alone when it was made.
well, we all feel so enlightened now having that explained to us by a man so utterly lacking any 'pretentions'. (slow clap echoing in an empty theatre)
Everytime I watch a tv/film set in space and I hear sound, I wonder why Kubrick (apart from Whdedon in Firefly/Serenity) is the only one who got it right in 2001. God it's annoying hearing sounds in space.
Nadav Erlich Here Kubrick is using a "lens viewfinder" in order to more freely experiment with different camera angles and, very importantly, variations in different lenses' characteristics. It simply is a viewfinder attached to the end of the lens. There Are a wide number of reasons why a particular lens may or may not require a special viewfinder. The more important reason to consider is: what, by removing the camera body from the setup, are you missing? (e.g. often camera bodies "crop" the lens' frame of view)
I've just recently discovered Kubrick and he is the most frustrating director ever! Yet, it's clear that in that frustration lies the genius. That's a hellavu feat!
So when he release the Killing in 1956, the person who watched it in the theaters said that Kubrick was not made for that and when he release the next year, Paths of Glory, everybody were without a single word.
They're great movies, but they don't even compare to his later works. It's not an insult to Kubrick; I think his talent and his skills both matured with him.
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.

This documentary brought tears to my eyes.
Stanley Kubrick was an inspirational human being. I absolutely enjoyed this documentary, on many levels.
"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling." - Stanley Kubrick -
Privilege is not a verb
@sharpskilz are you illiterate, or trying to be deep? Both are bad
This documentary is such a fitting tribute, a great piece of work in its own right.

There are a few exceptions but they could never achieve that high level of creativity and quality that only Kubrick could do with a movie camera, good script, and the process of directing.

The greatest movie maker of all time!!! Such a genius in so many ways..
Just like Kubricks movies, this doc is one that has to be seen more than 1 time to be appreciated.
I absolutely love this director. Its so easy to recognize a Kubrick film because he's the only director what that style
WHAT!? Paths of Glory and Dr. Stranglove are both masterpieces. You SHOULD be a fan of those because they are brilliant.
All his movies are holiday for eyes
Just look a year that movie is made and everything will be clear
Paths of glory is masterpiece made 1957

The late, great Mr. Pollack clearly respected the late, great Kubrick and even received a cameo in Stanley’s last film 🎬”Eyes Wide Shut” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It was more than a cameo.
Thanks for posting this great documentary.
I love all of the films of Stanley Kubrick and I find it said that there will never be another Kubrick film made.
