I have loved SK's movies since I was 14 year old. It's not just about morals and his viewpoint about human society and essence. I loved his images. My father was a journalism photographer and I used to read a lot of photo magazines since I was a kid. Bresson was one of my favorites. I just knew how amazing his movies were when I saw the famous violent ballet scene clips from "Clockwork Orange(!)" on a art movie TV program. One day, I saw a notice of some underground college film students' study group cinematheque would show all of SK movies in Seoul, Korea in the 90's on a movie magazine. I went there for days wearing my high school uniform and I watched all of them with joy and wonder. What a genius he was!
I know the feeling. I was one of the kids you barely see in FMJ, the saigon scenes. Actually the guy that drives the bicycle is my uncle. I'm totally lying. It's pretty easy for losers to make shit up to get attention.
"kubrick was such a genius !" did you actually watch any of his films ? Because people like you find he's pretty boring and shining is too scary to watch. Do you think the end of 2001 meant the next step of human evolution that STAN meant to wake up in every human beings, and human beings just went "meh" ?
This is great! I live in Boulder Colorado and live one block away from the location shot at the beginning of the shining where danny and wendy lived. I only had my Iphone but did a pretty good job replicating the same perspective and view from where kubrick stood.. Even the cars were in the same parking spots, unfortunately the trees had grown at least 50 feet, obstructing some of the view of the flat irons. But it was fascinating just to stand there, especially after re-watching the shining one night and suddenly recognizing thats exactly where I live lol
That's awesome! only problem is Kubrick never took that shot in Colorado...he had a crew fly over to the U.S and get all the shots. He was deathly afraid of airplanes. That's still awesome though that you live so close to that location
Where does the behind the scenes clip come from at 0:13? The Kubrick files is one of my favorite series on youtube. I love that you go in depth on smal subjects because those are the ones that interest me the most.
I have been getting in film cameras a lot lately, and I have to say this has been a very interesting video to me. And Kubrick is probably my favourite director of all time. Great video, looking forward to the next one.
Two of the greatest talents who ever lived: Kubrick and Weegee. That pic @7:12 was, I believe, used for Evan Hunter (Ed McBain) book of stories. Make that THREE of the greatest talents.
oh look, an actual fan. I thought "the killing" was way ahead of it's time and I never saw Barry Lyndon. I think strangelove is sk's best film because he's obviously having such a fun time with it.
Watch it anyway. It’s a period masterpiece, probably the best cinematography in history arguably, and O’Neal plays a total douchebag so you’ll have an excellent time hating him more than usual.
@@SteveSmith-ze5mw Total douchebag is his wheelhouse. He excels in that talent in Paper Moon... I love that movie. Madeline Khan kills me in that scene when she's climbing the hill.
Finished the your Kubrick series today. Specifically the making of 2001: A Space Odyssey and I found it tremendous. I have always wanted an in depth series of the film, and it delivered. Fantastic. So, when I saw in my subscription feed another Kubrick file, I clicked instantly.
You know you're a Cinema Tyler groupie when you click the thumbs-up button as soon as the video starts. Thank you, Maestro! This latest essay of yours is impeccably written and presented. I'll look into Skillshare - having to hand over my credit card information before a two month trial is one thing; not even knowing what Skillshare is, is another! :)
I love how you cover the history of how things were done and how it created a style. I have a greater appreciation of Kubrick. I knew he was great , I just didn't know why.
Man, I just want to say this is a great series. I watched this one again a second time and have learnt something about Stanley's work method a second time. What also strikes me is the amount of care you put into your production, the cutting's well timed and it's presented in a clear and tidy manner. And while I've got your attention, what do you think of "Eyes Wide Shut"? Is it a symbolic work that is mostly misunderstood? Or is it more of a disasterpiece? Thank you.
I discovered Kubrick with "Dr. Strangelove," which at the tender age of 13 left me overwhelmed and unsure if I had a future! Then came "the proverbial 'good' science-fiction movie," as Arthur C. Clarke called it, which has influenced popular culture more frequently than any other movie icon I've seen since. After that, I was just a total Kubrick konvert. The precision of his vision was simultaneously macroscopic and panoramic, and his films evoke humans at our worst and our best, and all the shades in between. Kubrick was not romantic, compassionate or nurturing; do not go to his films if you want to come out whistling the theme song! (FMJ is the WORST DATE MOVIE EVER, BTW) Go and watch them for the beautiful compositions and acid-etched stories of humans caught in conflict with reality.
Your explanation on ambiguity is perfect, and that's why most people those trying to impose a theory on his films are wrong, his movies simply didn't have one big meaning! When I saw the shining I thought that was ambiguity itself, the twin remind you of Diane Arbus, but also of the twins tortured by the Nazis. The viewer can see different things in his movies
Yeah i can see the photography gave so much influence in kubrick's films, feels like his movies are moving photographies from his skill in selecting the best shot of an ordinary moment. thank you for this analysis.
One stylistic approach that I have noticed in all Kubrick movies that I have seen, from Paths of Glory on up, is that he continually relies on long, uninterrupted takes, and uses minimal cuts. I imagine this stems largely from his still photography background, in which a single image had to tell the story. A well timed and conceived photograph contains a plethora of information, and so it is with all of the shots in his movies. He always allowed the actors tell the story as much as possible, while his camera filled in the details and the mood. I think it is part of the reason why his films feel so immersive, because the long takes allow the audience to fully absorb the scene and internalize it. Most average directors rely far too heavily on editing, and use it more as a crutch. They rely on editing to create mood or energy for lack of a compelling image.
Visually brilliant, comically sardonic, poorly paced and overlong much of the time, his run from Paths to Clockwork is unsurpassed but at the end of the day he needed an editor.
I'd like to request a little help to understand some aspects related to the aspect ratios on Kubrick's films, mostly their color movies as well as Dr. Strangelove and Paths of Glory. For me is relevant since the aspect ratio is completely attached to the composition of the frame. I've done some research but anything conclusive. As an example, I can't understand why apparently Kubrick decided to shot the epic "Full Metal Jacket" in a 4:3 instead of any of the widescreen formats available on those days what I suppose would be the logical choice. Another movie that is intriguing for me is 2001 A Space Odyssey. So far I've researched that there are two equally accepted formats for this film, one The Cinerama 2.21:1 and the other the Anamorphic 2.35:1 but all this information is kind of overwhelming and confusing to me. Thanks in advance for any help provided. Greetings!
I enjoy taking pictures and videos of things I find artistic but I find that the best moments are always when the subjects are not paying attention. I get that I'm a creeper for doing such a thing but the results speak for themself.
The photo at 8:01 is not by Cartier-Bresson, it's actually by Rui Palha, a portuguese photographer. The photo is often attributed to Bresson due to its similarities in style and composition but, in fact, it's not by the french photographer.
Slightly underrated and slipping into obscurity is Andre Kertesz, a contemporary of Cartier-Bresson whose photos always struck me as being more candid and humane while also highly formal. Some of his most famous shots are of Washington Square in winter.
Clock work Orange great I like all his different shots in the shining Without Alfred hitchcock there is no Stanley Alfred Hitchcock started all the shots I'm a pro photographer I use nikon d3. I love photography
I’m going to a Boston comic expo this summer. And Keir Dullea is going to be Signing there. You guys can bet your bottom dollar I’m going to ask him as many Kubrick questions as possible.
I've been finding a lot of video essays tiresome and samey recently, but yours are packed with factual and visual details as well as good editing. Have subscribed!
yeah .. she had that "how dare you ask me to help i need to prepare for my gender studies class" stank face look .. it isnt about the setting or the type of camera .. its all about the subject .. and she was NOT the right subject at all
Hello, CinemaTyler! Fantastic work! These are the best film documentaries I've seen on TH-cam, and I am an avid watcher of these types of videos. I was wondering if you would ever do a video on Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. I am very curious to see what you can uncover from the making of the film -- especially in regards to R. Lee Ermey's performance, and how Kubrick worked with him and allegedly allowed him to improvise most of his lines. Thanks again for the amazing content!

I really enjoyed this series on Kubrick. Thank you immensely for taking the time to make it for us.
Loving the Kubrick files so much. Keep up the good work!
Fascinating, I had no idea that so much of his photographic work had been preserved. Really enjoy the way you've presented all this - kudos to you.
Where does the behind the scenes clip come from at 0:13?
The Kubrick files is one of my favorite series on youtube. I love that you go in depth on smal subjects because those are the ones that interest me the most.
Thanks! That is from the "Kubrick Remembered" doc.
Your videos get better and better Tyler!
& thanks for the info about the museum :) planning a trip to NY now

This series is awesome brother! Super inspiring, thank you so much!!!!
Owen Harris Shining code nice to see you used some of his stuff.
Your videos rock man! You really have an eye for film. Love your content. Hopefully in the future you create an amazing film.
Fantastic Documentary. Here's to you.
Another great insight into Kubrick's work. Thanks.
If you could sit down with Stanley a discuss one and only of his films in depth what film would you pick? Mine would be A clockwork orange.
Two of the greatest talents who ever lived: Kubrick and Weegee. That pic @7:12 was, I believe, used for Evan Hunter (Ed McBain) book of stories. Make that THREE of the greatest talents.
Haces un trabajo increíble, porfavor edita más.
11:22 thats a nice photo mate!
There is a photo @ 8:01 which is by photographer Rui Palha, not by Bresson
Please check and correct. other than that, I love the video.
Thanks for the correction!
Nice.
Hot damn! On location!
3:35, why the fuck?)
Watch Lolita again and realize Peter Sellers' Clare Quilty is a pitch perfect impression of Stanley Kubrick's voice. It's elusively obvious!
hidden in plain sight! so is much of eyes wide shut (kubricks father was a doctor for instance)
oh look, an actual fan. I thought "the killing" was way ahead of it's time and I never saw Barry Lyndon. I think strangelove is sk's best film because he's obviously having such a fun time with it.
@@SpyanLord I really want to see Barry Lyndon, but I strongly dislike Ryan O'Neal.
Watch it anyway. It’s a period masterpiece, probably the best cinematography in history arguably, and O’Neal plays a total douchebag so you’ll have an excellent time hating him more than usual.
@@SteveSmith-ze5mw Total douchebag is his wheelhouse. He excels in that talent in Paper Moon... I love that movie. Madeline Khan kills me in that scene when she's climbing the hill.
Imagine getting to eat lunch with Kubrick
Imagine play chess with him
If he enjoys the conversation, then lunch will be going till dinner
UrielCinema I wonder wha I would eat....
and tea and and cake with Stanley at 4 too. stew fmj crew.

SO MUCH PRODUCTION QUALITY, good stuff Tyler
I just saw Paths Of Glory for the first time last week...it is SO impressive 'for it's time' and feels incredibly modern.
Really Great movie.
"The ideas have to be discovered by the audience, and the thrill of discovery makes it all the more powerful."
To top off his brilliance he was also the godfather of the up-skirt. Wow!

I loved Eyes Wide Shut! That said, I feel like I'll probably appreciate it much more in a later era of my life (if that makes sense).
Kubrick was rich so why did not he make Napoleon himself?
Nothing better than losing internet over the holidays and coming back to a new episode of Kubrick Files n_n
Great video ---thanks for your hard work

So great to finally learn more about his influences. Love this series!
I don't care that the building says "MetLife" on it. As far as I'm concerned, that is the Pan Am building there behind the Helmsley building.
3:38 really poor effort of recreation. Stanley captured the essence of femininity in his photo. Your picture looks like the back of some random dude.
Ha ha, thought the same thing.
tyler, why are aren't you making movies instead of going over circles?
The goal is to eventually make movies. What do you mean by 'going over circles?'
I am a big fan of you you are the best for me have a nice Day from me by.
Firs.....I mean, Second! Stanley Kubrick was a master story teller, whether in moving pictures or in his photography.
You don't trust your film! You should overexpose a full stop more than what you´re doing. Don´t worry, the film will hold... Nice video BTW!
Thanks for the tip!
You have a great future. I can't wait to see your movies on the big screen.

Seriously, when that pic of the young Kubrick flashed onto the screen, he looked like a younger you.
Visually brilliant, comically sardonic, poorly paced and overlong much of the time, his run from Paths to Clockwork is unsurpassed but at the end of the day he needed an editor.

Without Alfred hitchcock there is no Stanley
Alfred Hitchcock started all the shots
I'm a pro photographer I use nikon d3. I love photography
Man your videos are so good !!! we need more videos about the shining though !
I was exposed to Washington Square Park for the first time when it was prominently presented in the 1998 film "Half Baked"
Why are so many attempts made to remake old Kubrick photos?
Same locations, same lighting, not the same but close cameras...
What gives?
I’m going to a Boston comic expo this summer. And Keir Dullea is going to be Signing there. You guys can bet your bottom dollar I’m going to ask him as many Kubrick questions as possible.
Without a beard he's a "typical Stanley".. but later on, approx. at the age of 35 - "the Kubrick" begins to took over that ship.
I've been finding a lot of video essays tiresome and samey recently, but yours are packed with factual and visual details as well as good editing. Have subscribed!
Very insightful and well-made presentation! Thanks a lot.
I think Stanley Kubrick would be flattered that you hunted down all the locations depicted in this video. Thanks for this.
Stanley style is different he really is great director. Some directors I like are Oliver Stone Martin Scorsese Clint Eastwood penny Marshall
If you think Weegee sounds a lot like Dr Strangelove - it's no coincidence. Sellers used Weegee's voice as the starting point for that character.
Museum of Ural History... What a mastermind Kubrick was.
Well there were no Apple filters in those days……. 😋😉🤷🏼♂️
Great work as always! thanks for taking so much care into making these videos. I'm looking forward for the next episode ;)
Loved it! So well produced! Professional quality!!
I enjoyed how you recreated his pictures... Must have been quit an experience.
Great episode. Seen many of these Kubrick photos before and it was cool seeing what the locations look like today!
Tyler, please make a video about Kubrick and Jazz
Here's my haiku review for the video:
Informative vid
Your friend needs cheerin up though
Yet both taught me much
yeah .. she had that "how dare you ask me to help i need to prepare for my gender studies class" stank face look ..
it isnt about the setting or the type of camera .. its all about the subject .. and she was NOT the right subject at all
Nice that you showed up in your video!
Greetings from Munich.
Anybody else go to Google Earth and visit some of these places? Or am I the only insane one?
I can't seem to find that Kubrick photo collection. Anyone?
Tyler, please make a new Kubrick files soon. I love your work and just can’t get enough of them.

Excellent video (as always)
Excellent docu man. Really great to see into this art. Nice use of old cameras. I did something similar with a 70's Olympus ECR camera. Fun isn't it.
What kind of camera did he use to take that picture?
That was fun! Good idea recreating some of Kubrick's shots.
Thanks for the tip on where to find his archives.
The fact he was born on 14/14 Shakespeare Avenue is kinda apt. A mix up of the symmetrical, the bizarre and genius
