I have formal education and when I entered the workforce, only 10% of what I learned in school was able to use. The rest I had to learn a lot on the job.
U're not supposed to know what it is, maybe invited. Why would they need a weirdos at the White House ? It's really better for ur beliefs he's got a school or university degree. Sure some go to schools for real purposes & nerver go too far in the Jeopardy... Mums & dads pray u to go to school... make ur own idea.
@Randy White wasn't barry lyndon done because he wasn't able to do napoleon so instead he did a film in a similar sort of period piece/character study vein?
Kubrick is my all-time hero, his work is like a wonderful puzzle box, stressful and hard to access, but once you solve it you feel fulfilled. His voice was so soothing, imagine taking direction from such a soothing voice. RIP Stanley, we miss you.
Low marks in education? Prime example how self-awareness triumphs over higher leaning or useless certification. Great interview for prospective students to learn from.
I am a lowly drummer trying to make it in this world 🌎. I now want to write and I can see Stanley Kubrick helping me a lot. This age and era has become harder for a lot of people but nothing has changed. I hope I have the courage to write my novels 📚 great as he creates movies 🎬 🎞 🎥
I met the cinematographer on The shining, full metal jacket and eyes wide shut yesterday at a film festival. He was the one who told me to listen to this interview. So glad he did. My God Kubrick comes across as someone who is extremely sharp and ultra intelligent. He actually seems like he has a great sense of humour too, which I wouldn't have thought.
Wait wasn't Peter sellers in the movie Being There? or had some part in it i heard somewhere that movie dabbles on Secret Societies Cabal shit etc. Just these can't be coincidences considering Stanley seemed to want to reveal these groups to the masses. Especially with his finale Eyes Wide Shut.
Kinda weird It was the last movie Peter Sellers released before he died as well Just like Stanley Kubrick mysteriously Dying after Eyes wide shut. this shit just cant be coincidences.
So right! Few people pick up on that! (most notably, specifically, in the scene on the veranda of the hotel Humbert takes Lolita before she's aware her mother is dead, where Humbert has an encounter with a stranger... Quilty... in the dark)
That casually derisive "You probably haven't seen the picture" at 31:57. And then proceeds to tell the interviewer how his own life went down. Kubrick is amazing.
When I was 8 or 9 years old my brother showed me Full Metal Jacket and I was so amazed by it's strenght! He is definitely one of the main reasons why I am so fascinated by movies!
I felt the same way when I saw The Shining when I was maybe 12 or 13. I was fixed to the screen in a way I had never been before and intuitively I knew it was because of the decisions of the director. The compositions, his famous one point perspective, the steadicam follow shot of Danny riding the tricycle Big Wheel through the halls, the way the camera moved with the swings of the ax into the bathroom door. The photography was profoundly unique and striking. I had always been interested in movies.But after I saw The Shining, even at such a young age, I began to see the art of film.
cat listening I feel/felt the exact same way. Congratulations on discovering Kubrick's films! You may also enjoy the distinct styles of directors like Pasolini or Ingmar Bergman.

Marisa D'Alessandro Thanks Marisa! I listened to an interview with your father before,, that book looks like it would be very insightful. Did you ever see or meet Kubrick yourself?
it is not overstating the fact, that this guy's creative art sparked all that logical thinking my dad tried to embed in me for years. His films hit a certain vibration that kind of catches your reasoning off guard. It causes you to have to use that problem solving part of your brain. Grateful.
I just listened to this on the blu-ray of 2001. For some reason, I always pictured him speaking very refined. This interview also brought him down to earth a bit more for me.
+Stormy Molnjavichen Yeah, so much so that he let another guy go around for years impersonating him and talking to reporters and people using his name and he didn't care. He liked it.
Stormy Molnjavichen He didn't officially use a double, but there was a guy walking around claiming to be Stanley Kubrick and when Kubrick found out about it he liked it and let him continue
This is an excellent interview. For me, the Dr. Strangelove discussion at 46:47 is my favorite part, mainly because it’s my favorite Kubrick film and favorite comedy of all time.
I interviewed Arthur C. Clarke, Gary Lockwood and Keir Dullea. I attended the opening night screening of `2001` at the old Astor Cinema in New York. This is the screening where 250 Warner Bros executives walked out after which Kubrick trimmed the film.
Kubrick’s works are of such a monumental nature that literally anything he’d hoped to make but didn’t (the Napoleon film in particular), it feels like a huge loss they weren’t made! This of course could be said of any great artist though. The Napoleon thing would almost definitely have been a truly great film, likely standing out even among his own films, because it was so deeply researched and so close to his heart. I believe it was one of his greatest interests and passions to make it and it would have been off the charts epic. Barry Lyndon was awesome though and of a similar genre.
jutubaeh yes.... your dialect is influenced more by your peers than your parents. For example the cliche in movies of Asian parents with heavy accents but the kids voices sound like a suburban white child
Peter Sellers is totally doing Kubrick in Lolita as Claire Quilty. It's amazing. He sounds like him (Kubrick) again in Dr. Strangelove as President Merkin Muffly.
Cheers! Always good to listen to this again. Kubrick's outlook will never grow old 👍 Also, LOOK magazine never had an 'apprentice photographer' before - or after - Stanley Kubrick.
The ideas that are currently percolating to the surface of human understanding among people who are not trained experts in current orthodox fields are going to radically shift humanity for a new and hopeful future.
I knew Stanley almost all my life. And yes this is him speaking in his younger years, but his voice 'matured' as he got older & had the same distinct intonations & accent. Please see the note poreviously written & you will understand how I know it is Stanley's voice. A very interesting book to you all about Stanley Kubrick & my father : Stanley Kubrick & Me by Filippo Ulivieri www.amazon.co.uk/Stanley-Kubrick-Me-Emilio-DAlessandro/dp/1628726695/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467537879&sr=8-1&keywords=stanley+kubrick+%26+me
I love how he is not afraid to offer an assessment of his own films. No problem saying that his early films were lousy and not (like some Brits would be) ashamed to say he was very pleased with his accomplishment on Strangelove.
Eyes Wide Shut was billed by the studios as "the sexiest movies ever" It's almost as if Kubrick was mocking them from beyond the grave when he shows kidman, naked, in the first scene. Then we cut back to the title. Like he was saying "here you go, you horny people, now lets watch my movie"
I'd argue that his films aren't 'over-cooked' but merely very deliberate. Instead of dismissing or criticizing his films on that merit, it's more interesting to dissect his films as meticulously as he designed them.
Stanley Kubrick movies get better every time you watch them. You play one of his movies 5-10 years later and appreciate it so much more. What’s you’re favorite Kubrick movie?
if you listen .. think about how much his speech sounds like the president character in Dr Strangelove. I think Sellers may have been doing an impression of Kubrick when doing the president character.
Did (or didn't) most of that media-manufactured reputation start with The Shining , and the way he tried to get a very frightened performance out of Shelley Duval by directing her harshly ? Or did it pre-date that ? Because the shining was pretty late in his career...... I really wish there were more interviews.
When he find out the journalist hasn't seen "The Killing" and has mistaken it for another movie and says "If you want to see it they have a print at the Museum of modern art!" - Then he is a bit pissed off.
Eyes Wide Shut is potentially Kubrick's most captivating work for those who understand the historical, sociological, and personal connections Kubrick draws within the film. It's indeed a mystified work (and due to its lack of clarity, lends to the "pretentious" label) but if 30 minutes of it had not been cut by Warner Bros. executives, its critical acclaim would have doubtlessly been acknowledged.
I'm a huge fan of Kubrick but I always like to hear thoughtful criticism on his films instead of the typical, "His movies are pretentious and boring." I think the term "over-cooked" is very appropriate. Regarding Eyes Wide Shut, I would disagree that the film should be dismissed because audiences were "underwhelmed". Just because it wasn't what they expected doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look at. Anyway, just trying to keep the conversation going. I love talking about movies. Cheers!
I am thrilled you got to go! If I do not get to L.A. in time, I will attempt to bring the exibit to my home. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art museum in Kansas City, Missouri, expanded In 2007, Time magazine ranked the museum's new Bloch Building number one on its list of "The 10 Best (New and Upcoming) Architectural Marvels" which considered candidates from around the globe. I LOVE IT Come check it out & help me get Kubrick's exibit here Moonwatcher
I wonder if wife Christiane or daughter Vivian have the deleted footage from "The Shining"? I have a hard time believing Stanley would have simply thrown it away. Its got to be in a film reel can somewhere. Hopefully someday it'll make it onto a DVD as an extra...
Ive watched and many a Kubrick stuff. Also been to his archive in London and they mentioned it there. Dont know what reels have been burnt but apparently it was alot. If you ever go London, recommend seeing his archive, reading through scripts etc was a great experience.
Jack Boyles Yeah, he wanted them obliterated simply because he felt like they weren't that important, nor interesting. What he left behind was what he wanted people to see instead. This is what I've read anyhow.
Listening to this and realizing that not only are my favorite films all produced between 1968 and 1978 but so are many of my favorite albums. Would love to see that topic (the blossoming of cinema its halcyon days from the late 60s to late 70s) explored in film if anyone has any suggestions for viewing.
It's amazing how similar Peter Sellars' "American accent" as Clare Quilty was in LOLITA to Stanley's New York accent is here. Every time I listen to Kubrick speaking I think I'm listening to Clare Quilty.
let this recording show the correct pronunciation of Kubrick's last name at 5:42. I always hate it when I hear people say "Kyoo-brick," with a superfluous "y" sound following the "k" sound.
Excuse me, I am not familiar with APOLLO. What year is that from . Did Koobs direct iit? PLease elaborate, I thought I seen all of his work. Wel, mainstream work at least...
Really great interview. I'm sure he would have been able to dispell the myths of his "meanness" and strike them off the record, if he simply gave a few more of these talks with genuine people, rather than rumour-mongers.
why does Jeremy Bernstein ask him and talk about 2001: A Space Odyssey, if the interview was made in 1966 and the movie vas released in 1968?? (knowing how reserved was Kubrick about his movies before their release)
So is Hitchcock the ONLY director who believed that actors were a minor part of the direction process and that camera and special effects were the major parts.
John Ford, Kubrick...most of them...All egotists...some talented egotists, others untalented egotists but all egotists and mot of them misogynists too.
What is life that we lose it? What is it's reason? Why this miracle of life that brings forth this order on Earth? A profound fact of this moderate environment existing a few miles below the hellish vacuum of outer space infinite in scope and void in significance. and we all die? Where is the sense of this?
Poor Stanley, he made his best to make the interview work with such flat questions. You could've asked him to practically lay the whole story of his career up to that point.
I loved the questions. What would you rather he ask? Modern day interviewers force comedic, quirky questions that don’t offer any insight into the life of the interviewee. This was very in depth
Im sorry i typed that comment so poorly lol what i meant to say is i always imagined his voice to sound like a strong british accent before ever hearing him talk it just matches his face haha sorry for the confusion
Linear thought at it's finest with an all or nothing mindset. He is not static. Autism is beautiful and having such a diagnosis and yhr ability to understand someone who was a great success. Today I start my screenplay about the evolution and contraction of our ability to sens and recieve information. Mamy may think the subject bland and nothing can be drawn from this but I like Stanely can understand and convey a story with strong character structure.
he didn't mean anything specific by it he just was giving an example that people can't learn from history because even though we may prepare for an event one way it'll probably still end up happening in some other way that we weren't prepared for. This was recorded in 1966 so 1985 was just a future date he picked.
I think by definition to be 'great' in a meaningful sense, one must be single-minded. And you're right - that isn't likely to make for healthy relationships.
"Schools don't teach you problem solving". Stanley Kubrick, 1966.
I seriously live by that quote.
I have formal education and when I entered the workforce, only 10% of what I learned in school was able to use. The rest I had to learn a lot on the job.
School prepares you for Jeopardy.
U're not supposed to know what it is, maybe invited. Why would they need a weirdos at the White House ? It's really better for ur beliefs he's got a school or university degree. Sure some go to schools for real purposes & nerver go too far in the Jeopardy... Mums & dads pray u to go to school... make ur own idea.
Domkratos Liked until I saw your profile picture.
Great guy, and an artistic genius, he died way too soon -- would have loved to have seen his Napoleon movie.
You've read the screenplay? Excellent is it not?
That's true, but if he had of done Napoleon, he probably wouldn't have done Barry Lyndon. Its a catch 22. 😉
@Randy White wasn't barry lyndon done because he wasn't able to do napoleon so instead he did a film in a similar sort of period piece/character study vein?

John Alcott did The Shining and he died in 1986.
Larry Smith?
So maybe he Mets him in 86 jee,
@@BoleDaPole you krak your head? 1986 is not "yesterday".
This is gold dust. Fascinating insights from arguably the greatest American director. Man was he great.
When you realized one of Peter Sellers' disguises in Lolita was actually a Kubric impression.
Sounds like Quilty lol
He also duplicated Kubrick’s voice for President Merkin Muffley in Dr. Strangelove.
This is absolutely brilliant. Such a rarity - a detailed interview with Kubrick.
This interview seals it for me: Peter Sellers used Stanley Kubrick's voice for the Claire Quilty character in "Lolita."
Wait wasn't Peter sellers in the movie Being There? or had some part in it i heard somewhere that movie dabbles on Secret Societies Cabal shit etc. Just these can't be coincidences considering Stanley seemed to want to reveal these groups to the masses. Especially with his finale Eyes Wide Shut.

That casually derisive "You probably haven't seen the picture" at 31:57. And then proceeds to tell the interviewer how his own life went down. Kubrick is amazing.
Although there is a print available at MOMA, should Bernstein actually want to see the film...

he talks so much like "HAL" from "2001 a space odyssey" :) :D
youssef x Not at fucking all
kubrick was a sort of a human computer , his home plenty of documentation and files like the red brain of hal.
His voice sounds identical to Clare Quilty (Peter Sellers) from his film Lolita
He actually was the voice of breath of the astronauts.
Dang, I expected him to be one of those guys who're really serious and carry deep, deep voices. He kind of sounds like Paul Thomas Anderson.
***** I was just thinking that, PTA does have a sailor mouth though
"Boy, am I getting fucked up on that one." - Stanley Kubrick (47:30 - 48:00)
the way he laughs after he says that made me think of Dim in a clockwork orange
"A termific extent. A tremendous a-lot"
hahahaha. Well heard. I didn't pick it up the first time.
They were smoking a joint.
what a youthful voice, such grit and determination, such a loss, still missed, never forgotten '-'
I interviewed Arthur C. Clarke, Gary Lockwood and Keir Dullea. I attended the opening night screening of `2001` at the old Astor Cinema in New York. This is the screening where 250 Warner Bros executives walked out after which Kubrick trimmed the film.
This is solid gold. Great upload!

Ive always known he was american but for some reason in my head his voice was british lol
Dude me too, same thing for Tim Burton.
dodmoful I agree but with Tim Burton I think its because he associates himself with a lot of british actors and films
his daughter speaks with an english accent though

David Echols Lol, shit. Just put the same comment a couple minutes ago.
Brilliant bit of mimicry on the part of that Sellers chap -- particularly in the earlier *Lolita.
An amazing interview. I had to listen to it twice, back to back
Kubrick never lost his Bronx accent, even after living in England for decades...
This was before he moved there, mate.
Its called being jewish

does anyone else think he sounds exactly like paul giamatti? not just the new york accent but rather the tenor of his voice

Thank you I will be enjoying the vids, it may be the closest I can get to the precious material.
Yes this is young Stanley's voice. I know that voice so well.
How do you know this voice so well? Also - so when you see 40 year olds, you refer to them as young men/women?

I think it will. Not just Kubrick, no Studio just deletes film copies, but I think Kubrick didn't want them to show it to anybody.
Kubrick and a friend once (possibly drunk) burnt loads of old film reels one night. I believe some of the reels were from the shining.
Jack Boyles Where'd you hear that? :( I hope its not true.

genius is a powerful word
But there's no reason to use it unless you're speaking about THE KUBRICK
Dr. Strangelove discussion begins at around 45 minutes.
He played a really big part in the deception aka narrative of space, the final frontier , which we now know he made in Hollywood basement
Anybody got a link to a transcript by any chance? I'd love to have that interview printed.
the start sounds like John Belushi in Animal House: "Bernstein - dead, New Jersey - dead, 1928 - dead" (instead of names)
Excuse me, I am not familiar with APOLLO. What year is that from . Did Koobs direct iit? PLease elaborate, I thought I seen all of his work. Wel, mainstream work at least...
Really great interview. I'm sure he would have been able to dispell the
myths of his "meanness" and strike them off the record, if he simply
gave a few more of these talks with genuine people, rather than
rumour-mongers.
why does Jeremy Bernstein ask him and talk about 2001: A Space Odyssey, if the interview was made in 1966 and the movie vas released in 1968?? (knowing how reserved was Kubrick about his movies before their release)
Look up Bernstein's 2010 New Yorker piece recounting how the above interview came to be arranged. It's online as "Playing Chess With Stanley Kubrick."
So is Hitchcock the ONLY director who believed that actors were a minor part of the direction process and that camera and special effects were the major parts.
John Ford, Kubrick...most of them...All egotists...some talented egotists, others untalented egotists but all egotists and mot of them misogynists too.

Your point, madame?
In dr strangelove i think sellers does stanley kubrick's voice as the president .
Kubrick never made a film called "Apollo". He may be mistaking it for "2001".
Finally the main work subject of Kubrick appears to me : he is all about the already banal of the unthinkable and it's furthering banalisation...
What is life that we lose it? What is it's reason? Why this miracle of life that brings forth this order on Earth? A profound fact of this moderate environment existing a few miles below the hellish vacuum of outer space infinite in scope and void in significance. and we all die? Where is the sense of this?
in the bible, said the jewish kubrick
Its the big bang baby
Clare Quilty = Stanley Kubrick -- Same Voice! Sellers was a genius!
Poor Stanley, he made his best to make the interview work with such flat questions. You could've asked him to practically lay the whole story of his career up to that point.
I loved the questions. What would you rather he ask? Modern day interviewers force comedic, quirky questions that don’t offer any insight into the life of the interviewee. This was very in depth
words of wisdom at 34:00
Or he may be one of the participators in that new "Room 237"-movie.
Vince Edwards = Dr. Ben Casey; Richard Chamberlain = Dr. Kildare
Wait-Did he voice HAL?? Checking IMDB now.
Yeah Hal 9000 was voiced by Douglas Rain.
kubrick doesn't sound like hal, why do people keep saying this?!
Im sorry i typed that comment so poorly lol what i meant to say is i always imagined his voice to sound like a strong british accent before ever hearing him talk it just matches his face haha sorry for the confusion
Linear thought at it's finest with an all or nothing mindset. He is not static. Autism is beautiful and having such a diagnosis and yhr ability to understand someone who was a great success. Today I start my screenplay about the evolution and contraction of our ability to sens and recieve information. Mamy may think the subject bland and nothing can be drawn from this but I like Stanely can understand and convey a story with strong character structure.
Can someone explain what Kubrick meant by "1985 situation" around 51:00 ?
he didn't mean anything specific by it he just was giving an example that people can't learn from history because even though we may prepare for an event one way it'll probably still end up happening in some other way that we weren't prepared for. This was recorded in 1966 so 1985 was just a future date he picked.
I see, it is funny that 1985 is the onset of the last cold war
everything is planned. Once you understand game theory you start to see the codes.
not many people see the codes. Kubrick became a code writer.
His voice sounds like Allen Ginsberg
His voice sounds a little like Stephen Hawkins computer voice.
I swore he was British
he LIVED in britain from the mid 60's on. he's from new york.
always the trade off. family life and/or private passions. the greats we're probably not the greatest parents/spouses.
Are you claiming to be great, random TH-cam user?
Not at all. It just takes 100% dedication
I think by definition to be 'great' in a meaningful sense, one must be single-minded. And you're right - that isn't likely to make for healthy relationships.
Don't know where you got that impression ! The person was just passing an observation.

"the greats WE'RE probably not the greatest parents/spouses."
Could somebody add subtitles, i'm deaf
Transcribe it with software
"Silas Marner"! ;)
His voice resembles HAL9000's voice A LOT
not even a little.
