    📌What's your top 3 Kubrick movies?
    Mine would be 2001, Barry Lyndon, Eyes Wide Shut.

      My top 3 is similar to yours only The Shining is my second place and Barry Lyndon third place, we can't ignore the whole technology that went behind the craft of each scene, especially the famous nasa lens fitted on the 35mm camera. I wish he had directed Napoleon, it would've have been a massive endeavour but a visual feast nonetheless!

      More than obsessions, I think it's the passion and drive to make the best film out there for the people.

      I think it's like Masahisa Fukase and his photography, it's all very intertwined, passion, obsession and dedication. Good point nevertheless, if I had to think of someone more obsessed than Kubrick I would say Charlie Chaplin.

    Amazing video and I liked that in the end you highlighted the point of vision and following it is not the same as having control. I too have read some of the stories you mentioned and in the footage you included in the video, the behind the scenes of The Shining, there’s parts where you can see how rude Kubrick was to her. Not to mention the great Robert Duvall called the man “the actors enemy”. Appreciate your efforts as always Hopper!

    • @Nightmvoeskn5zg
      @Nightmvoeskn5zg 7 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      He was not kind to many of his actors that is known. I would call it questionable methods, apparently in the shining he wanted Duvall to reach that peak of human despair and emotion so he made her repeat take after take.

    Another good mini documentary done high about film director and photographer Stanley Kubrick. Although no one can really capture the forces or demons that drove him to tell a story, all one can do is try their best. Until the success of his earlier films; The Killing, Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita and Dr. Strangelove, no one would've considered Stanley Kubrick as the guru of filmmaking. Although Stanley Kubrick was able to bring Arthur C. Clarke's novel 2001: A Space Odyssey to the big screen, some film critics thought it foretold of a dark apocalyptic future. While others saw the film as an optimistic vision of the future. Such as Forbidden Planet for example. Tried to watch A Clockwork Orange once, didn't care for it. For all his flaws, Stanley Kubrick was original with his filmmaking.

    Great video. Re: emotion vs. meaning. Just came from the Mary Ellen Mark show at Arles. Where she towers over other photographers, for me, is the fact that her images are beautiful and perfectly composed, which draws me in and adds to the emotion, helping to deliver the meaning. Her mental institution images, if shot by a modern day photographer would more likely be flat and dispassionate, and though perhaps technically correct would fail to make me actually want to look at them therefore diminishing the meaning. Top three Kubrick: Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove, and Clockwork Orange.

    Big Kubrick fan, although I don't love him like I do with other directors. That said, his lens for Barry Lyndon for low light sequences in candle light inspires me in my work. I like doing night photography using street lights as the light source. This is in particular with doing photography of Jack The Ripper related spots in London, as the streets of Whitechapel were pretty dark at the time. I currently use a 50mm F1.2 lens, which although isn't as fast as the lens Kubrick used for BL, I can't help but think of his vision for that film & I get excited for my work when I do low light photography.
    While also on the subject of low light photography, I do also have Lomography's Daguerreotype lens, & without an aperture plate inserted, it is essentially F0. This gets some really dreamy & hazy scenes, which look fantastic on B&W film I think.
    If you are going to do other directors, I'd suggest either Ingmar Bergman, Federico Fellini, John Ford, or Andrei Tarkovsky, just as a few examples.

    • @TatianaHopper
      @TatianaHopper  6 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Tarkovsky is on the list especially because he also took many Polaroids. John Ford is one of my personal favourites and Fellini I agree, a great master nonetheless!

    Clockwork Orange brought with it my first introduction into electronic music.
    My father hated it. I loved it and still do.
    Music is a "detail" in film making that makes or breaks a scene.
    In all genres.
    Remember "Die Blaue Donau" in "A Space Odyssey", the intro of "Jurassic park" by John Williams or the Chemical Brothers in "Hannah".
    Photography may not lend it as much to this aspect of film but I do remember some of my best images were created/born while some tune was wandering through my brain...

    Being obsessive gave him the energy of longterm concentration, yet being detached allowed him to let go of subjective pov for the transcending overview which I feel in his camera lens. Paradoxically he could film an inanimate object like a wardrobe & give it subjective *presence* of its own. I don;t know how he did that - - lighting? angle? distance? unflinching duration of shot?
    *Ken Russell* had that same capability to give an inanimate static object subjective presence on film that implies *sentience* . In other words Russell could make a wardrobe seem like the Monolith.
    Kubrick was by far the better director but Ken Russell did have that one trait in common that was not the least bit commonplace.

  • @andgainingspeed

    "Sticking to your vision" vs. the diminishing returns is a calculation Kubrick must have wrestled with, but it seems he mostly came down on the side of the former, despite it making him a world class PITA to work with. But how many people refused to work with him? Barry Lyndon's painterly images are like walking through a gallery but it seemed like he was doing the same with the audience that he was doing with the people working for him. I warmed up to it on my second viewing.
    If instead of a "last meal" on death row you got your choice of Kubrick movie, what would be your choice? 🤔 It could be your favorite but also might be the one best suited for the occasion.

    • @TatianaHopper
      @TatianaHopper  7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great point, I watched a couple of documentaries in preparation to this video and according to people that studied his life and work speaking on them it appears that Kubrick represented a double edge sword to many, meaning that he was extremely difficult to work with but at the same time for actors, if you worked with him it was like a career making moment. I know of a lot of actors that refused to work with him or worked with him once and never again but it is I guess a choice each person had to make.
      About your last meal, mine would be 2001: A Space Odyssey. I think it would be suited to an end ahah Yours?

    All of Kubrick's films are great in one or many ways. Some I like for personal reasons. Some are objectively important milestones in the art.
    But I'll always exclude _The Shining_ which IMO is genre and _Spartacus_ which I love but Kubrick himself dismisses. Also _Eyes Wide Shut_ due to being somewhat weak and vague. It was a pet project but not indulgent. Probably, hss helped many couples, too.
    I've seen _2001_ over a dozen times in the cinema, including in Cinerama format, _Dr Strangelove_ 2 or 3 dozen times, and memorized the dialog. _Lolita_ is the quickest way I know of to warn foreigners about the U.S. _Paths of Glory_ makes me cry every time. _Clockwork Orange_ is the most engaging and brilliantly realized next to that other SF movie. _Barry Lyndon_ will in the future be known as Kubrick's magnum opus.
    (I omit _Full Metal Jacket_ because, worthy as it is, it's an experiment in docufiction, a term I just invented. Kubrick even shot a lot of the combat section of the film himself, hand-held.)
    _AI_ is a Kubrick film too. Thieven' Stealburg is no dummy and he tried his best to do it as Kubrick would, and even though he couldn't stay away from the camera cranes, carried it off magnificently! It's amazing!

    There's also the factor of relevance. Every Kubrick film I can recall contains a sort of subliminal reference to human nature that stays with us after walking out of the cinema. I still get flashbacks of 2001, more than half a century after seeing it for the first time. He delves into aspects of humanhood that a lot of the time can be disquieting. He looks at them with a naive eye, a bit like a curious but at the same time frightened child. This form of revelation gives his work a prophetic quality and looking back at his films will always connect with our present reality. The supreme absurdity of Dr Strangelove or the primal violence of the ape in 2001 jump at us very time we turn on the news or listen to the vox-pop in a society dominated by deep inequality and prevailing barbarity.

    This conversation contrasting control and enunciation of vision reminds me of the infamy of Guy Bourdin. Are you familiar with his fashion photography? It's controversial. I think it's likely his photographs wouldn't have quite had the same feeling were it not his rigid control he opressed his models with. These days, we know a bit more about neurodivergent individuals and I can't help but see him as exhibiting classic signs of high functioning autism. Surely working with him would have been very difficult, but I love his work nonetheless.

    Emotionally, Kubrick leaves me cold - but conceptionally, he is unsurpassed. His women were at best incidental. Actually, his most engaging film, on an emotional level, was Spartacus - but of course that was as much Burt Lancaster’s enterprise.

    • @TatianaHopper
      @TatianaHopper  7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Really? I mean I'd have to go back and perhaps rewatch a few of his movies to better answer that but I suppose in terms of making you engage emotionally majority of them all do, at least for me, each to their own of course, I found some scenes extremely engaging particularly in the shining or the ending of 2001. I suppose it really depends in terms of women, I think his Lolita presents very nuanced women with some depth (let's not forget it was 60s so the portrayal of women was different). The Killing also have some strong female characters, but I do recognise there is more emphasis on the men and women come as vehicle for the man's needs, wants, missions etc.
