In our modern world -- an average day may consist of Facetiming family and friends, playing games online, or asking Alexa to complete a task for us. These tasks have only became a part of our lives in the last decade or so -- but they were envisioned and shown on-screen way back in 1968 -- all thanks to the mind and visionary talents of the iconic Stanley Kubrick and his film “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Of course, “2001” was just one of many films Kubrick made in his illustrious career. He was a filmmaker who broke the mold, followed his own rules, and was always looking for a new path to take as he planned his next film. If you thought his movies were complicated, deep, and full of meaning -- then just imagine what the whole production was like. From page one and all the way until the final cut, Kubrick was all-in -- and a man often described as a perfectionist and control freak -- all in a positive way. Take a dive into the life, career, of one of the most brilliant minds in Hollywood -- as we uncover his process and all of the hidden meanings and messages he has inserted into his movies.

Just imagine if his father never bought that camera,these amazing films may never have happened.
Like Bobby Fischer's mother buying him a chess set at the age of twelve, or Miles Davis' father giving him a trumpet for his thirteenth birthday.
Just imagine what films never came to be and never will because of small circumstances
Yeah... that's where Butterfly effect of his own life started.😉
@User Name 😂 either way 👍
Imagine 🎥 not existing yet
Imagine what Kubrick could do with today's Film-making Techniques & Technology.
I think his work better not involve them. You do not need terrific techniques to make great films, but they help
He already knew what he could do, yet he gave his big effects project A.I. To Spielberg because he knew Spielberg had a better handle on the digital effects process.
What he did without all the computer generated graphics was and still is ahead of our time.
Come and get one in the yarbles, if ya have any yarbles!
Same but with better technology.
He was a genius, we wont get a movie director like this for a long time or maybe never
I was born in the 80s and wasn't really aware of Stanley Kubrick until the late 90's when i stumbled across the film full metal jacket. I've been a fan ever since. 👍
Christopher Nolan: “Hold my camera”
@Yousef Ghaneemah Nolan is a fascist??
@@gjit4077 Like literally, Fascist doesn't mean fascist anymore.
Yousef Ghaneemah did u just say m. night? lol
When they say modern day Hollywood directors stand on the shoulders of giants, Kubrick is one of those giants!
Def a giant as also said by orson welles and a wonderful person too. stew fmj crew.
Martin Scorsese
Akira Kurosawa
Hes no giants he himself is a Hollywood God!
@@danielbautista9062 Alfred Hitchcock too.
early 1969 i was 18 years old in the army in new jersey....a fellow "warrior" and i took acid and went to a walk in theatre to see 2001....we peaked numerous times during the movie.....one of the most moving experiences of my life....since then have gotten many of his movies on dvd.....the man was a genius for sure....during my three years in the army (68 to 71) i could not understand dr. strangelove as my military experience was frightening and very scary....now i see strangelove as one of the greatest military films ever made.....was too young back then and did not know enough about the world....great director and person....
Wait you took acid then watched a movie
3 dumbasses.
Sir how did you even follow the film while on acid?
@@southlondon86 the film followed me with some intense confusions....55 years ago in a different universe... both of us did not understand what we just watched so allowed the film to change perspectives for quite a while....
@@ronniebrown2517 It must have been fantastic back then. Great music, women were more gorgeous. You must have had a blast as a young man.
To put in perspective his greatness. Spielberg, Scorsese, Coppola and Lucas all went to film school together. And each one of THOSE groundbreaking directors, would say a Kubrick film release was like taking the next available 'Master Class' from him.
Kubrick films are more than movies !
2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the first sci-fi movies to be nominated for Best Director at the 1969 Oscars.
But "Planet of the Apes" won for best makeup. Go figure. "Romeo and Juliet" won for best Cinematography. Go figure. "Oliver" won for Best Art Direction. Go figure. "Oliver "won for Best Director. Go figure. "Oliver" won Best Picture!" Go effing figure. (You wouldn't even be able to find "Oliver" in a VHS tape store!!!) It just shows you what complete shite the Academy Awards really are!!! "2001" won for Best Special Effects and THAT WAS IT!!! What a load of crap!
I seen the movie 50th anethersery my god it was a blessing.
@@bandfromtheband9445 the academy awards.kind of reflect the hal 9000 computer where you have the smartest people in business yet there is a line where below it as your real talent reflects you go up and. Up and up but when you hit that line you are invisible. The human ego stops you. Like spielberg and the fact he didnt get an academy award for production for close encounters.
@@bandfromtheband9445 youre underrating oliver however. Best choreography and best score it deserved that. Youre smart though ill admit. Dickens book however lasted. The movie didnt. I think theyre equal. The populace doesnt really get either mivie
Space Odyssey is the music that Elvis Presley used for his entry for his Hawaiian show .
I saw Barry Lyndon 25 times for it's visuals, music and artistic rendering & has inspired me throughout my years as a photographer & now a beginning filmmaker......
I'm a Kubrick nerd, so I loved this
You and me both
Sam Costello me too
So am i and i worked for stanley. stew fmj crew.
@@stewartbloomfield8035 wow Full Metal Jacket is one of my favourite Kubrick films
@@Faerie_Kim Great to hear and it was amazing to get the job on FMJ.....a wonderful experience for 1 year.
Kubrick is a eternal legend ..I am always amazing..about him..how could he made such brilliant wide variety movies like Lolita, shining, 2001 a space Odysseus,full metal jacket, eye's wide shut, Dr Strangelove, clock work orange, paths of glory.....he is the master of Hollywood...no one to be compared to him..a legend like him yet to be born..
EYES WIDE SHUT = MASTERPIECE
Sarah Smith I wonder what the uncut version would be like
@@kjeezy2990 Unfortunately for you conspiracy theorist nuts, there is no "uncut version" he completes the final cut before he died.
Samuel I think the version released in the U.S. was heavily edited for the sex scenes so it got an “R” instead of an “NC17”.
Agreed. One of my favorite films of his.
Sarah Ali it’s amazing
Alexa, open the pod bay doors.
I’m sorry sharp design I’m afraid I can’t do that
Mohamed Ashian ...why?
da guy I think you know why just as well as I do
This channel is a breath of fresh air. Sooo many channels/friends refuse to critique critically acclaimed content. Makes for boring conversations. You take the gloves off and have fun with it. I genuinely get excited every time a screen rant video drops. You're doing something right! Thanks for your effort!
after seeing Kubricks films, especially EWS, Its hard for me to find movies worth watching these days... I can watch EWS over and over with interest but not so much with other movies. And Barry Lyndon is a jewel to own and be able to watch.
Diallo Khari same. I can watch EWS over and over and discover something new. Also, the Criterion Barry Lyndon is great!
@@arthurfleck816 yeah Barry lyndon I consider perhaps the best film ever made cuz not only is the story a complete exploration of human experience and gratifying and interesting to observe, obviously the cinematography is next level.
Thats also a film I could watch again and again and see new things
Too bad Kubrick is gone... I guess Chris Nolans films are the next best thing. Looking forward to the movie Tenet.
Diallo Khari sane here! And I actually LOVED Nolan’s Interstellar!
@@arthurfleck816 looking forward to TENET
I didn't really appreciate the genius of "The Shining" until 20 years after i first watched it.
thats right
I’m starting to like these documentaries
Not a documentary, more of a video essay.
To be self taught and very talented is the defintion of genius
I am self taught, very talented, and creative.
Kubrick was the greatest filmmaker of all time and I just had the honor of having dinner at his house in England. What a thrill to sit in Stanley Kubrick's chair as I was served dinner just a few yards from the office in which he did so much of his planning for these great masterpieces. I will never forget it.
James Journalist Explain more of this experience of yours, please. Why where you there? What was the occasion?
you did? stew fmj crew.
My favorite Stanley Kubrick film is A Clockwork Orange. I read the book first when I was around 13 and then the film. My thought on this film is that Kubrick is showing the dichotomy of human choice(s). If one chooses to be good or evil to that extent.
He truly was decades ahead of his time... one of the last of a generation of brilliant visionaries. I hope one day someone can fill the void that we have without his amazing work.
i would like stanley kurbick try to make an action spy thriller movie?
Kubrick was the first to use the steadicam extensively. A genius
I've been searching for a well made examination of Stanley Kubricks genius film making techniques but could never find anything of a satisfactory nature, so thank you for this video, you guys are amazing.
And this was the only one you found?!?! There are several videos online! Also, there are many books which go into even greater depth. How well did you search!?
The character from A Clockwork Orange is "Alex", not "Andy".
There was me, that is Andy, and my three droogs, that is Paul, Gregory and Tim.
@@jimkoral3824 There was me, that is Alex, and my three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, and Dim, and we sat in the Korova Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening.
Your name is alex. stfu.
yea wtf
He did clockwork Orange??
One of the most intelligent men ever that was so ahead of his time.
fritz lang
His movies are so intense because they’re so honest and real.
The greatest director and film maker of all time. All of his films are iconic and beg repeat viewing for me
He isn’t just a genius. He’s a genius across all genres of filmmaking. Many people say that Hitchcock is a filmmaking genius, but his stories feel similar. Kubrick is different every time and each time his films are revolutionary.
Grandma?😢
Hey grandson.
Most greatest and influential filmmakers in cinematic history....christopher nolan favourite film was 2001 a space odyssey...by inspiring he also put some scenes from this movie into interstellar😍😍😍
Just watched Paths Of Glory for the first time. What a great movie.
That movie's in Kubrick's top 5, in my opinion.
It wasn't really his movie he was called in to finish it because of his relationship with Kirk Douglas he had after Spartacus.
What a great film Maker.!!
@@9xxxxxxxxx its the other way around, Spartacus isn't really his movie, Paths of Glory could arguably be considered the first "kubrick film" where he had a budget and full creative control and began working with his iconic style. Don't get me wrong the Killing is also great.
Adrian Dexter Thanks for the correction and info.
Imagine being in his class back in the 40s and not knowing your classmate would soon become one of the greatest filmmakers in cinematic history
Steven Spielberg said that Stanley Kubrick predicted the new generation of film was going to be made from computers, and he was right.
Best director ever! I don't care what anyone says.
Tom Cruise walking at 9:36 is actually shot using a treadmill and rear-projection (as Stanley refused to leave the UK to shoot NY exteriors) and therefore is not shot with a steadi-cam but rather, a static camera on a tripod
God I love Clockwork Orange. One of my most favorite movies
My three Stanley Kubrick all time favourite movies are, in this order; Paths of Glory, Lolita, and Barry Lyndon. However, I like the whole of his body of work very much.
He wasn’t Hollywood he was himself
Malcolm McDowell casted in CWO was genius in its self.
2001 wasn't just Kubrick. Original Story and Screenplay were by the incredible Arthur C. Clarke
That's Not correct.
It was a collaboration between them.
I can't for the life of me decide whether Barry Lyndon, The Shining, or Full Metal Jacket is my favorite Kubrick piece. No other artist's work has ever made me feel the way his movies do.
i think barry lyndon is the best thing he ever did.
It is hard for me to say which Kubrick film was my favorite. I love them all with the exception of Eyes Wide Shut. To choose one though, I have to go with 2001: A Space Odyssey because I saw it projected 10 times when it was released and countless times on home video. Love Clockwork Orange, Dr Strangelove, Lolita and Paths Of Glory.
Kubrick is legendary....his movies is beyond the concept of movies itself
The director we need right now is Stanley Kubrick.
he's dead.
I'm fascinated by Kubrick's movies. What a great video doing justice to his legacy. When I see the footage of him as a child I just wanna hug this little genius.
What makes Kubrick's work so great is that his films have a balance of being very entertaining, but great artistically too. It is something bad with today's cinenma, they either go one way or the other.
The only one that I think succeeds in both from this year is Joker.
It succeeds emotionally and the visuals and soundtrack enhance the experience.
@@1000000man1 Parasite
Stanley Kubrick is a master filmmaker without a doubt.
9:38 that's tom cruise walking on a treadmill and rear screen projection, that is not a steadicam.
I was about to say the same thing.
I actually stopped watching when they called that a Steadicam shot, nothing new to learn here, John Alcott probably rolled in his grave.
Also Paths of Glory would hardly have a steadicam since it wasn't invented until 20 years later
The man was always so far ahead of the pack.
2001: A Space Odyssey literally has a full documentary explaining the entire meaning behind it with interviews from the author of the book, the actors, and even the extras. Why are you bringing up random theories when there's an entire non-fictional explanation for the movie readily available
It is debated by the Kubrick camp itself about the amount of shots actually taken for scenes. I think he wanted as many shots as he could get of many scenes, because he sifted through these many shots, wanting to arrange them to tell non verbal additional stories within each film. This grew more and more as his career advanced.
What an amazing work! Absolutely love this documentaries, perfect length (wouldn't mind 10, 15 min more though), excellent narration and writing, good pacing and organization of the info, citation of sources... Wow, waiting for more! Too bad the ton of ignorant comments, but hey, 'tis youtube, what more can you expect? HA! Congratulations!
Having watched countless videos about Kubrick, his films and his background, I've learned firstly that despite his perfectionism, his films have some ch that some people desperately try to make conspiracy theories and symbolism seem true, with the craziest theories honestly being quite dangerous and narcissistic. There's a 6-part series that 'exposes" the true perpetrator of a massacre, which was supposedly covered up because the Rockefeller family is involved.
Kubrick was subtle and thats interesting going into depth can ruin the art of it
It’s like dissecting a frog. No one learns anything and all your left with is a dead frog and a mess to clean up
He was clearly ahead of his time
While I do agree that Kubrick was a true genius, A. C. Clarke was in the same, if not higher league. The Lost Worlds of 2001 is a compelling read for anyone that wants to know all that the writing and production of this masterpiece went through.
13:24 during this montage of images from other movies that Kubrick influenced, this shot is from Black Narcissus made in 1947, before Kubrick ever made a film so this one should not have been included.
Actually, the Sister Ruth shot shows the God-like power Stanley Kubrick had on other films across the world, a) before he was even 20 years old, and, b) before he had made any films. (Okay, back from beyond the infinite, could this Kathleen Byron shot in 'Black Narcissus' have been a, or even the, genesis for the 'renowned' Kubrick Stare?')
On second thought, the genesis of the 'Kubrick Stare' is probably Lon Chaney, just channelled by Kathleen Byron.
5:22 "Modern day romance and mystery with eyes wide shut" BLIND
Incredible documentary! You guys are growing so much and I'll be here for the ride
Danny is the one of the greatest actor ever worked with Kubrick.
What a great documentary !
I love long Steadicam shots in movies, including Goodfellas.
Without google , name two steady cam shots from any movie
Mystery train
Slacker
Gerry
Elephant
The shining
Full metal jacket
And the opening scene in John Carpenter's Halloween. Also Halloween and The Shining were among the Very first films that used the Steadicam and the inventor actually operated it on set of The Shining.
@@ziskeleburt313Slacker. The ultimate steady cam shot hahah
To me, 2001 looks like a movie made in the 70s, but with technologies from the 2070s.
It was made in the 60s
Before the Moon landing actually
he's the only director that i love all of his movies
Same
Ditto!!
Even Martin Scorsese, he has never made a bad movie, he made masterpieces after masterpieces.
Dawson Djodvorj Irishman isn’t that good ,
Ortox i agree, and the hype was so high right?
His last movie just think about the title of that movie. Meaning that us people needed to open our eyes to how the people in powerful positions are corrupted and dress up and take advantage of the unlucky women that found themselves as slaves to some of these men. The missing 20 minutes that was forced to be cut from the movie alone opened my eyes. He died not long after its release hopefully no coincidence. Such a shame as his movies were unbelievable. Kubrick definitely broke boundaries and it’s a shame he’s not around now making films, pure genius and very brave man.
Complete genius.
R Lee Emery was the only person to yell at Kubrick and get away with it
Bullshit, Kubrick could take abuse.
@@felixcat4346 Emery was doing a scene where he was shouting down at the camera, the person holding the camera was Kubrick, so essentially, he was shouting at Kubrick
Only because Ermey was brilliant. If he was replaceable that would've been a different story.
@@frankreynolds9284 very true. stew fmj crew.
He was? stew fmj crew.
My relationship to Kubrick's film is a strange one. I never heard of him during my film school years and only heard of him on several articles that mentioned him and his films. Through that articles, I started to gain interest in watching "The Shining" and by that time I was hooked to his filmmaking style, I noticed I've watched almost all of his films.
That '''film school''' should immediately and forever close its doors if they didn't expose you to possibly the best director of all time
@@LucBoeren i also attended film school and i dont remember once them talking about stanley kubrick lol probably has something to do with Stanleys unrealistic process. No one has the free reign, time and control like he did lol
@@LucBoeren Well said. stew fmj crew.
In the "The Mysterious Work Of Stanley Kubrick" in 2020, that plays on Tubi, it discusses the number "42" being a recurring theme in "The Shining". It calls to many odd references in the Steven King film and all his movies but in "The Shining" it misses the drawing in on the picture of Jack Nicholson that shows he's been there actual "manager" and evil entity of the hotel for years... The picture is taken in "1921" in the ballroom. While it hits on many obvious 1942 WWII references, it misses '21. 21+21 = 42... It acknowledges many more references occur and the particular film and others but it strikes me as odd how many "hidden" references occur to serious, veiled points of reminding us he knew things that he also wanted us to know.
I've always liked to believe that all of Kubrick's movies take place in the same universe.
All movie of Stanley is awesome brilliant specially the Barry Lyndon
Kubrick is a director whose films I can’t just watch one-off. If I watch one I have to watch ‘em all in a row.
Barry Lyndon. A moving Rembrandt.
Two of my Kubrick favorites are not really addressed here - THE KILLING and PATHS OF GLORY.
The biggest project he never got to do was a movie about Napoleon !
John Michael Patrick YES! I would’ve LOVED to see his take on Napoleon! I bet it would be great.
@@arthurfleck816 Indeed ! ...and wow, you are the first one to get that 'Arthur Fleck' name ! What a movie !!! Anyways, PEACE !!!
@@arthurfleck816 Also, Napoléon was a Mason...
A director who never worked for Validation but for "CREATIVITY".
My favorite Stanley Kubrick film is The Shining. I need to watch the other films for sure.
My favorite Kubrick film is 2001
This is a good attempt to summarize Kubrick's work and life on an introductory level. Some distractions here that were off target; "2001" was about the purpose and nature of intelligence in the universe, not food, and "The Shining" has a deep meaning on how forgetting the past leads to making the same mistakes and allowing the same evil, not that it was a dream. Still, good effort on this video.
love this series. so well researched and produced.
9:39 is not a Steadicam. Tom Cruise is walking on a rear projection screen
A couple of nit picks,
1. The tracking shot of Cruise walking down the New York street while being upset wasn't a steadicam shot. It was a process shot. Either front or rear projection, I don't remember which.
2. I have no idea how the overhead rear light is supposed to eliminate further shadows. But for pretty much all of the world of photography it's used for a rim light. Useful for accentuating the silouette edges of the person being lit. It also helps to separate them from the background.
Excellent documentary. Covered a lot of the points mentioned in the biography by LoBrutto which is in itself a very in-depth bio.
Did he just say modern day romance and mystery with EWS? 😂
for a split second, i thought this was a pitch meeting for kubrick. then of course, i remembered what day it is
Real genius!
I don’t care what anybody says, Stan was a filmmaking genius!
@screen rant The futurism stuff in 2001 was dreamed up by Arthur C. Clarke! It was his whole job and career!
Do some research and you'll find that they collaborated very closely together.
his daughter said he wasn't a recluse...he just didn't talk to the press.
“Let alone” means the opposite of what you think it means. If you can’t get into a good college that doesn’t mean you can’t get into any college.
Yeah, that should be the other way round.
"He couldn't get into college, let alone a good one."
He couldnt get into a good college ,let alone any college. This ,as video presenter said ,is the correct one.
This documentary is fantastic
I need more videos like this great job screenrant👍👍👍👍👍
my parents and I love Eyes Wide Shut
Why?
Brendan Hall to each their own. that's why
CultClassic/ DeadInside this comment wins
2001 in 1968 is my no. 1
Thanks for making this informative and interesting video, glad I found your channel just subscribed
It'd be interesting to see a similar documentary for Nolan or Hitchcock
did I just watch 30 minutes of a director's analysis and still want more of it?
My favorite movie of his is Barry Lyndon. It's a beautiful movie and I love it a lot :)
At 9:36 Tom Cruise wasn't filmed with a STEADYCAM walking on the streets. It was filmed in a studio, Tom walked on a treadmill... for the background a projector was used....
Eight screen masterpieces in a row- not bad going
No one can get into Kubrick's mind
