That's... amazing,
One of the photos is equivalent...
... for ten other people,
"Oh, Nicole," and shook his head.
And nobody really knows him.
He is known...
... as a kind of future threat.
One of the best all time filmmakers.
The future threat for peace and quiet.
Legendary...
... ugliness.
Sometimes he drives me crazy.
He is a very liked individual.
I love him one minute, and next I can kill him.
Maybe the smartest man I've ever met.
He was fascinated by advertising Nescafials...
Have you seen the film 'Groundhog Day'?
... because they tell stories so fast.
That's how it feels.
This man was born to push the envelope...
There are still parts of Stanley That is a big mystery.
... and he always pushes it.
You expect someone like that to be different from us.
We are too afraid of him here.
Everyone pretty much admits he is Man...
... and I still feel that is underestimating it This film tells about life and work from Stanley Kubrick:
An extraordinary filmmaker, one of the great artists of our time.
Stanley Kubrick is a puzzle for many people
In the film he is extroverted...
... challenging, and ready to violate conventions
But Kubrick himself is very personal:
Avoid publicity and rashness Maintain anonymity...
... happiest at work and at home with his family...
... and a big circle of friends.
He is a chess player in everything. Both are careful and aggressive...
... he took a big risk but was evaluated every movement with the best care.
Stanley was born in New York and the United States remains a New Yorker all his life...
... even though he and his family lived in England for almost 40 years.
He died in his house on the seventh of March 1999.
This film will use a unique material that has never been seen
This is a document about a man who stays silent...
... is he applauding? or damned
Stanley Kubrick was born in New York on July 26, 1928.
His father, Jack, is a doctor...
... who married Gertrude Perveler the previous year
His sister, Barbara, was born six years later, in 1934.
Today, many people have children who are far apart...
... they encourage older people to maintain younger ones as babies...
... so they can love them.
But I gathered Stanley very jealous ... You know, I am there.
He is very kind. He is very nice to me.
Nobody accused him of being playful Well, he's playing...
... as in 'The Addams Family' is rather fun When he was little, I thought they thought he was some kind of sissy...
... because he doesn't like your ordinary boy
He read a lot. He always has books.
Now, my mother always reads.
He is always behind him, always, and he really believes it.
He said, "It's nothing You can't do it "
He always supports it.
She's really a great mother, I think.
- Are they strict, Gert and Jack? -Not.
Never. He always does what he wants.
In 1941, when Stanley was in 12 years...
... he went to Taft High School in the Bronx.
At first, I thought, from the second week, Stanley turned to me...
... when the class opens and says...
... may I let him copy that day? homework? I said, "Sure, why not?"
The next day he asked the same question.
The next day after that, and before I know that he does it every day.
So after about a week or ten days...
... finally I wake up enough aggressiveness to say:
"Stanley, why don't you do it? Your homework?" He just said...
... and in what I learned is hers characteristics of a calm way:
"Well, I'm not interested."
Not that he's stupid. He is not at all interested...
... and act on it.
Stanley is really involved, is quite passionate about photography.
Stanley, you have to understand, by the general lights of time...
... a rich kid, because they have their own home.
They can have dark rooms.
His father is interested in photography...
... and I think he encouraged Stanley to use it and become a photographer.
The background of the dark room is actually...
... is one of the basic things...
... which allows it to develop very high level...
... sophistication about photography...
... and finally cinematography.
Stanley is fascinated by photography.
He is a photographer at the school newspaper and looking for pictures...
... it will capture the imagination.
We interrupt a special news bulletin
A press association has just announced that President Roosevelt has died.
Roosevelt is our god. That's what my mother said. He said:
"I'm not sure there is a God," when he died
And then when he took the photo, Who's
It makes everyone who sees it cry. They just started crying.
He looks like usual The world is over...
... and Stanley just got it.
This is a photo of a news seller mourning Roosevelt's death...
... that turns amateurs into professional
Stanley was only 16 years old when he sold these images to 'see'...
... one of the great Americans picture magazine.
When he graduated from high school, he joined 'Look' as a photographer...
... taking thousands of images...
... experimenting and getting experience for the next stage of his career.
Kubrick shoots some features in boxing to 'see'...
... one on a rising young fighter Walter Cartier.
Passionate about sports...
... he realized he had found it the subject for his first film.
'Day of the Fight' belongs to Stanley the first attempt at making a film
I am his assistant in that matter...
... and I am very proud of this fact that I operate a second camera...
... during the last fight, which is a real fight.
And we take turns with each other:
I was filming while loading.
I got a knockdown because Stanley is loading.
He did it. He KO'd Bobby Jane.
This is a warrior, Walter Cartier.
He just moved one more place...
... in a line that might end with the championship.
After the 'Day of the Fight', Kubrick left his job at 'Look'...
... and devoting himself making a film.
He moved to Greenwich Village and supported himself...
... by making a short documentary, hustling chess at Washington Square...
... and playing tournaments to get money will not be enough...
... to fund the entire film
At 1 953, Kubrick's father cashed in his life insurance...
... to help her child make Fear and Desire...
... a film about fictional warfare.
That is Kubrick's first feature.
-He will see us. -Still.
He is really and really involved...
... in making this film.
He doesn't know anything about acting.
I might not know more.
He is not a bohemian.
He is not an avant-garde, Left figure.
He is a child from the Bronx who's smart
I don't think he has a lot of education. He is a very good chess player.
My intensity is impressed.
I think he has vision from where he went
'Fear and Desire' is a young man training internship
Kubrick then pulls the film from circulation.
That made him pay attention and help to get it financial support for the next feature.
'Killer's Kiss' reveals Kubrick's extraordinary abilities...
... to play with light.
Stanley is making his second film...
... and I really want it to become a permanent photographer.
I also want to see someone find and learn I know I'll see it.
This is Stanley at the point where he has absolutely no physical resources.
On Friday, he stopped the company for several hours...
... go to the unemployment line and collect unemployment checks...
... that's why he is alive. That's $ 30 a week.
He just made it.
He is very ambitious and he knows this will help him...
... because once, there is a scene in the morning, and the crew...
... not paid much too. Everyone is in a bad mood. He said:
"Well, why don't we just take it Holiday afternoon?"
I was amazed he gave us a day break.
He always takes me home. So on the way home, I said:
"Why are you always? is very good for everyone?"
He said, "Honey, no one can get it whatever comes out of this film but I "
Release of 'Killer's Kiss' is taken Kubrick's attention to James Harris...
... future producers who have access to finance.
They work together to form a Harris-Kubrick Pictures.
The only thing, we don't have it has anything to do
We don't have a problem.
That night I left the office and went to the bookstore...
... and found a book about robbery of a race track.
I don't think there is dinner.
Of course dear. There are many things.
-There are steaks, asparagus, potatoes... -I don't smell anything.
You're too far away from him Too far from that?
You don't think I have everything cooked, Do you? Everything is in the shop.
I think he is still small.
Both he and Jim are very young.
I'm guessing, but I think Stanley is only 26 at the moment.
I don't think anything is difficult for Stanley
He has incredible confidence and if he doesn't...
... I don't think he can work with Lucien Ballard like him.
The cameraman is Lucien Ballard.
Lucien, I believe, won an Academy Award...
... is considered as one of the top 12 or a photographer in business.
He is a very stylish person, is married to Merle Oberon...
... a classic example of an old style cinematographer
Stanley has done his own photography in the two previous films...
... so he knows exactly what he wants, and I think that Ballard...
... hate this child from New York.
The first shot of the picture, first day, first shot...
... Stanley prepared a shot. That's quite complicated.
It's a dolly long shot.
And he set it specifically with a 25 mm lens.
... and start a complicated business lighting and setting dolly lines.
... far further from where he set the camera
He said to Lucien, "What are you doing, Lucien?
Why don't you say it? where have I asked?
He said, "I didn't change anything.
I use a 50 mm lens...
... to give you exactly the same coverage you requested...
... but with numbers 50. That makes...
"What about the change? In what perspective? "
He said," That's not important. "
That part of the information is wrong.
Perspectives change. This is a different shot. Stanley realized Lucien was so just bull past him...
... but also what's special Nettled him is the assumption...
... that he won't understand this or doesn't care about that
Stanley said:
"Put the camera where I said, with the lens I requested...
... or get off the set and don't come back. "
He says it very slowly, is very soft...
... and there see between them...
... and Lucien changed the setup and moved the camera where it must be...
... and there has never been a fight again, about anything
Okay, alright, check through
I am sure you will find our service for your complete satisfaction
What do I think about Stanley, and what he does...
... in a more complicated way with later films...
... implied in this simple film about carefully planned crime.
The feeling of Sterling Hayden character has that he is above it...
... he really knows what he is doing At the end of that...
... the barking little dog is loose...
... and the money blows all over the place
It's brilliant and existential films.
If existentialism basically poses that we define ourselves by doing...
... and that opportunity is one thing we can never fully understand...
... before it happened to us wishes, or plans, or whatever...
This is a brilliant statement about that.
'Murder' is not commercial success...
... but it was successful in building a Kubrick and Harris reputation.
When I saw 'Murder' I said, "My Lord. Stanley will succeed. This is good. "
But it is 'the Way of Glory' that reverses it.
We walk in the middle, as we usually do when children...
... the Way of Glory.
And me and my friends, who's a fan of war films...
... we have never seen anything quite like that, or quite like...
... that tone We've seen other anti-war films.
But this one is very honest...
... especially the trial, and the scene between Macready and Kirk Douglas.
I ordered an attack. Your troops don't want to attack.
They attack, but they can't make progress.
Because they don't try. I see it for myself.
Half of them never leave the ditch.
A third of them are stuck by intense fire
Don't excuse fractions.
The facts are still good They never leave their trenches alone.
I will have ten men from each company in your regiment...
... tried with a death sentence for cowards
- Do you know death? -For cowards.
They have put milk in it their blood vessels are not blood.
The faintest milk I've ever seen, my ditch--
- Enough! -I won't make small talk -
If you continue this way, I have to get you arrested.
It's very honest that it's surprising.
What makes it even more surprising is the nature of the way it was shot.
Use of tracking camera in ditch.
Something is happening. They try to be objective:
"I just showed this to you, friend, made your own decision.
I say now, This is what goes down. Maybe an attack against an ant is not possible
Maybe that is an evaluation error on our part...
... but if your men have been bolder, they might have taken it.
Why do we have to endure it again? Criticism from us must be?
Aside from the fact that a lot of from men you never leave a ditch...
... is the question from the spirit of the army.
- army spirit? -Certainly.
This execution will be the perfect tonic for this division.
There are some things that are more encouraging than seeing other people die.
Many artists, when they install the blank canvas...
... they started in great detail, small and fine pencil strokes...
... on canvas
Stanley began conceptually in all his films...
... from my point of view...
... with large primary colors brush strokes...
... and he will only defeat him out of concepts that...
... that's pretty clear
In the 'Path of Glory'...
... every hammer points home...
... but in each sequence of filming Smooth and soft almost.
What really hit us is the end.
There is a tendency if you want to get to that emotion or sentiment...
... not sentimental, not sentimentality, but sentiment...
... and only describes this aspect of humanity...
... often you fall into sentimentality. You really did it.
This is very, very difficult to do.
This one works like-- You can't see it without crying.
He sits behind his desk for this interview...
... I must have because he is looking for an actress
... for scenes in 'Paths of Glory'.
You know, I think he looks amazing
And he just sits there...
... beaming at me, grinning at me throughout the interview...
... and I must have grinned.
He has smiled at me for 43 years afterwards.
Following the 'Path of Glory', Christiane and his daughter, Katharina...
... moved with Stanley to Los Angeles.
Stanley and Christiane married in 1958...
... and Hollywood will be their home for the next few years...
... where they have to have two more children, Anya and Vivian.
For depictions that are burdensome from French officer officers...
... 'The Way of Glory' will be banned in France for almost 20 years.
This film brought the director strict attention to Hollywood.
He is still 28 years old.
I think that if the commanding power has respect for good images...
... or people who can make them...
... that this respect might occur very well angry...
... by rather cynical observations...
... poor and mediocre images might also prove successful...
... as photos of those with higher scores.
Television has changed this completely
And I think that despite unpleasant financial turmoil...
... it was caused by in the film industry...
... it also gives a refresh and stimulates challenges...
... which makes it necessary for films to be made more sincerely...
... and bolder.
If Hollywood doesn't have the color and the excitement from the early days...
... with Rolls-Royces and leopard skin cover...
... on the other hand it provides the most stimulating atmosphere...
... opportunities and possibilities for young people.
Slaves...
... You have arrived at the gladiator Lentulus Batiatus school.
Here you will be trained by experts to fight in pairs to death.
You will not be asked to fight to die here
It will only be after you are sold...
... and then for quality people.
Those who value good murder.
A gladiator is like a stallion.
He must be spoiled.
You will be oiled, bathed, shaved, massaged...
... taught to use your head.
A good body with a dull brain is like cheap like life itself.
I congratulate you, and maybe good luck Smile to most of you.
Then Kirk Douglas came to us and was there having a problem with 'Spartacus'.
He has been shooting for three days...
... and want to replace the director who is in the film...
... and asked whether Stanley could be obtained, a kind of loan-out based.
We think it will be good for his career and for our company.
I think he did an amazing job took the film...
... the script doesn't even have a sequence of battles in it...
... and sort of doing some recasting from several parts...
... bring some films to Spain and do a big battle scene...
... and change it into an extraordinary epic film.
I'm a little scared of the arrival of from Stanley I don't know him...
... but I have seen the 'Path of Glory'...
... which I found one of the best films I have ever seen.
Regardless of your evil _ the most generous Romans of our time.
Bad?
Woman.
When did they become representatives?
I have a high opinion about him, but also I love Tony Mann.
Tony Mann directs the initial parts of the film...
... which is in Death Valley, which I thought might be a studio...
... want older certainty, men are more routine.
Kirk always had an idea wanted Stanley
That is a difficult task because we all have different acting styles.
Olivier and Laughton hate each other. It was like two dogs.
I will take the republican corruption together with the freedom of the republic...
... but I don't want to take the _ dictatorship of Crassus...
... and there is no freedom at all!
That's what he's looking for, and that's why he will come back.
I think he is 30 years old when he did it
Yes, working with Olivier and Charles Laughton. He was fearless.
If he is scared, he doesn't show it, because he knows he can't.
I think he has extraordinary abilities...
... concentrate on what's important...
... he does not allow himself to be distracted.
And even if that is so emotional turmoil...
... and very worried he won't--
Maybe this is a chess game - He won't allow it...
... to influence him
And I think it's immediately the actors see:
"Oh, yes, you know, we are quite safe "
Getting around together.
Fight a lot of battles.
Win a big victory.
Now, instead of boarding a ship for us a house across the sea...
... we have to fight again
Maybe there is no peace in this world...
... for us or for others. I don't know
But I know...
... that as long as we live...
... we must remain true to ourselves.
This is a great virtue...
... it's the only film like that that doesn't have Jesus in it.
There is no trace of Christianity in 'Spartacus'.
There is faith, but not Christianity.
If Kirk wants to be rewarded for him courage, which I will be the first...
... to make a film like that without Jesus but with Kubrick...
... already an extraordinary achievement.
I think they are both temperamental.
None of them will give an inch...
... so there is tension.
But he felt uncomfortable during the filming.
But not necessarily because of Kirk himself.
That's because he has no rights to the text
All the things he got first and struggled to have...
... he doesn't have, he has no voice.
Stanley isn't happy because he's facing...
... with the star being the producer and responsible for production.
There are several examples...
... where he feels that must be done differently...
... but because Kirk is responsible...
... they are doing Kirk's way.
I'm not saying that Kirk is wrong or wrong...
... But anyway, Stanley said:
"From now on, I want to take a photo...
... where I really have the final snippet "
The first foreign minister from the epic screen of Ul Spartacus...
... is the most brilliant event in the London show business calendar.
Director Stanley Kubrick...
'Spartacus' is very important and commercial success...
... won four Oscars.
Even though Kubrick's youth...
... he is now known Hollywood Director
But the process has taught him to have full control over his films.
I feel that during 'Spartacus' he was waiting for his time...
... get a note as a director...
... big and successful films...
... which will give him greater freedom in the future
And he changed his career being an artist...
... even though it can be easy, Is he giving up at any time...
... that's how it was a very successful travel entrepreneur.
He feels that now he has this label: "I am a director, official.
Now I can make a story that I have a crush on. "
Image interpretation, where to place the camera...
... the nature of the subject...
... which at that time, everything opened in the early '60s...
... and that's a scandal Put my head back.
Put my head back.
Open your mouth.
You can have one small bite.
I think what many people forget...
... is that a hot book? 'Lolita' that is
Initially, Nabokov couldn't a publisher in America or England...
... so it was published as a dirty book in Paris.
In 1955 Graham Greene and 'The Sunday Times' in London...
... nominated as his own this year's novel
Then take off and immediately find the publisher.
He thinks 'Lolita' is a fantastic book...
... because it's clarified the feeling we all have...
... good and bad don't come in the expected package
I don't think I'll see you again.
I will move forward.
I have to prepare my work at Beardsley College in the fall.
Then I think this is goodbye.
Yes.
Don't forget me This surprised me when people said Stanley didn't film "people".
He made films about machines or...
It always makes me confused.
'Lolita' is, you know, not like a book
But he has drafted the author to write the scenario
They work together with each other...
... in other versions far from novels...
... that's more about humans the condition of the novel.
'Lolita' works...
... as the first Stanley Kubrick film for me...
... because I can't imagine it there are other people who make 'Lolita'.
This is comedy but there are serious elements
This is Risqu. It's on your face This has a big show...
... and it works completely.
You're disgusting, disgraceful, disgusting, criminal fraud!
Don't do it.
- How do we discuss - -Move aside.
-Stay! -Not. I want to talk--
Come on, get out of my way.
I will leave here today.
You can have it all.
But you will never see the brat again!
When American cinemas in the early '60s were on their way down...
... the studio system is complete...
... this is an authoritative person You see a certain way on things.
"When I stood naked Adam...."
Adam is naked!
You should be ashamed of yourself, Captain.
"Before federal laws and all the stars were stinging. "
Fuck! You are an old horned frog
That's very beautiful. That's beautiful poetry.
"Because you took advantage..."
This starts to recur somewhat, no?
"Because..." Here's another one: "Because you cheated me."
Because you brought him to age...
-... when young youth - " -Enough! the film distribution problem that paralyzes
the Catholic Church has their own censorship.
However, we agreed to limit the amount see the image
To get the release, Kubrick must cut back 'Lolita'.
As he later said to 'Newsweek':
"If I knew how severe was the limitation...
... I would not succeed. "
There is recognition in the film industry for Kubrick...
... director of Lolita, Arrived with Mrs. Kubrick.
Lolita's appearance is strong at the box office...
... driven by controversy.
Kubrick's next film will prove even more controversial.
Now, Dimitri...
... You know how we always talk about possibilities...
... something happened wrong with the bomb
That bomb, Dimitri.
Hydrogen bomb
Everything is beautiful about the film...
... is because the way is directed
If not, I think there is a lack of in film writing...
... and lack of some from the show...
... but directs the movie so bravura...
... and just so amazing, is just a knockout system.
Vision and use of music from opening credit -
We know right away anything Can happen in this film.
People remember the film because it deals with one of the darkest things...
... postwar period, ideas that hang above us...
... forgotten by nuclear. This is the time for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
It can't be obtained closer than a few days...
... where one error on both sides can start World War lll.
This piece of satire beat him right on the button...
... and that's scary. Very, very scary.
Now, now, what happens is...
... one of our basic commanders,
Well, he goes a little funny on the head.
You know, it's just a little funny.
He went and did something ridiculous.
Alright, I'll tell you what he did, He ordered the plane...
... to attack your country
Okay, I finish, Dimitri.
Let me finish, Dimitri.
Now, what do you think? I feel it?
He can say what we all know...
... about that madness.
He bought the book tried to make it straight...
... and realize that he can't, that it's really crazy...
... that it can't be done like that.
And what he did was say that. That this is crazy, I mean...
... who are we kidding?
Gentlemen, you can't fight here This is a war room!
And it never worked is very difficult...
... to take seriously Strategic Air Command.
I mean, it looks like they like them are nuts since then.
I think they might.
The most extraordinary part of 'Dr. Strangelove 'for me...
... is 30 years as part of the BBC team, I investigate...
... for two years, a lot of the main principles in this film.
What happened in reality...
... what happened to the Air Command strategy in the '50s and 60s.
And various elements of the film like the idea that the military...
... will use nuclear weapons without consulting the president...
I think only I am authorized to order nuclear weapons.
That's right, sir. You are the only person who has the authority to do it...
... and even though I hate evaluating it before all the facts are in...
... it looks like General Ripper exceeds its authority.
... all, you know, are seen as terrible when the film comes out.
Now we know that many elements really slap.
Curtis LeMay is conducting a trial to see if you can provoke Russians to fight.
We talk to officers who work for the successors of LeMay...
... General Tommy Power, and they It says this person is basically crazy.
This hasn't been out for 30 years, but there's that...
... right at the core of 'Strangelove'.
Tell me, Jack, when did you first become...
Now, develop this theory?
I first realized it, Mandrake...
... during physical acts of love.
Yes, deep fatigue...
... empty feelings followed.
Fortunately, I can interpret it This feeling is true:
Loss of essence.
I guarantee it doesn't relapse again, Mandrake.
Woman... Woman feels my strength...
... and they are looking for the essence of life.
I don't avoid women, Mandrake...
... but I deny them my essence.
Other films that are being made at the time about these themes...
... about the idea of nuclear war...
... military takeover in U.S.A...
... movies like 'Fail Secure' and 'Seven Days in May'...
... they are very naturalistic and rather turgid films.
They don't have long life. They don't survive.
They are not films that you will watch...
... for any reason except for sociological interests.
But people will watch 'Dr. Love is weird ' repeatedly because it's very funny.
That is Kubrick's genius, but also his colleagues.
I mean, he has a lot of money to work with...
... the two funniest people ever involved in the film industry:
Terry Southern and Peter Sellers.
What happened, you see, the strings on my feet are gone
- what? -The string.
I never told you, but, you see...
... I have gammy legs. Oh, honey, go get shot dead.
Stanley is the best listener.
He spends a lot of scenes just being a spectator...
... not director He will only put the camera where he can...
... so when Peter went flying high...
... Stanley said, "I don't want anything that's gone "
He will only lie on his back, You know, laughing out loud.
That means Peter to a higher altitude.
Also, when you go down to mine, everyone will stay alive.
There will be no surprising memories...
... and the prevailing emotions will occur nostalgia for those who are left behind...
... combined with passion...
... bold curiosity for adventure ahead
One of the great things about the film is meticulous detail...
... where everything is - you know, that's part of that power...
... details in Dr. Strange love ', You know, you will think...
... which he lived that experience
Check the contents of the survival kit In it you will find it one.45 automatic caliber...
... two boxes of ammunition...
... four days concentrated emergency allotment...
... one drug problem contains antibiotics...
... morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills...
... sleeping pills, sedative pills...
... one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible
When we filmed, someone has invited...
... some American service personnel to come to Shepperton
They are scared...
... with the amount of accuracy we have on this plane...
... and the next day I got a memo from Stanley saying:
"You'd better be sure that's what you know where all your references come from...
... because otherwise we might be investigated by the FBI. "
I found it very quickly...
... behind this childish enthusiasm...
... and obviously naive, there's this super brain...
... and enormous power...
... and dedication to film making
It's quite demoralizing in When he changes his mind...
... but every time he does it, it gets better
But I learned a lot in that film
Sir, I have a plan.
Mein F hrer!
I can walk!
At first I was very surprised.
That's very rude, and rightly so is the peak of the Cold War.
I was at NYU then, but my friend I saw the film with...
... some at a Jesuit college called _ Fordham, the others were street children.
We went to see this film. They like it.
And they are conservative.
Said on that road, "That's good."
I have a kind of tempestuous joy in the end.
When he sings, "We'll meet again, don't know where"
And he drives a bomb, I think:
"Man, what kind of imagination came up with this?
'Dr. Strangelove' caused a stir. Younger viewers like it immodesty and anarchic humor...
... but many people see it as dangerous subversive.
I remember reading a review on, I think, a Beverly Hills newspaper...
... where the critics say that Stanley must be physically hurt...
... because I made the film.
Now, that's a very bad review, I have to say. I don't remember every film Stanley Kubrick...
... released where there is no controversy
'2001' I remember very well.
I remember Pauline Kael review '2001'.
They are not good reviews.
And then ten years have passed, and all are classic.
At that time I knew that Kubrick was one.
Yes, all these outstanding directors around the world are making films...
... but there is something, after you see 'Lolita' and 'Dr. Love is weird '....
I know that Kubrick - We have to wait for Kubrick's film.
We know that when we go to see it...
... it's very special
We hope a lot from it, enough To be honest, and in 2001 we got it.
In 1963, Kubrick has stood so high in reputation...
... that he can choose the next project without being subject to Hollywood decisions.
As a director whose film is popular and critically recognized...
... he has won an amazing title creative independence
Stanley Kubrick is now starting work in a film...
... who will build it as one of the big film directors.
With '2001: A Space Odyssey'...
... boys from the Bronx will write a new chapter in the history of cinema.
In the early 1960s, space exploration began when both Russia and U.S.... ... sending humans out of the earth atmosphere.
When the space race dominates popular imagination...
... Kubrick captures the spirit of the times by collaborating on a film...
... with science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke.
Behind everyone alive today standing 30 ghosts...
... for that is the ratio where the dead person exceeds the number that lives.
Since dawn of time, around hundred billion people...
... has been running on this planet.
Now, one hundred billion is about the number of stars...
... in our Milky Way galaxy.
So this means to everyone who has ever lived...
... there might be stars.
And of course, stars are the sun, with planets surround them.
So isn't that an interesting thought that there is enough land in the sky...
... for everyone to own the whole world?
... and by what kind of creature.
But one day we have to know, maybe with radio...
... maybe in another way, maybe with direct contact
That impact on humanity will be profound...
... especially if we face beings far in advance...
... our own primitive species.
It's amazing to wait for and maybe that is terrible.
That can happen in our lifetime. That may not occur for 1 000 years.
But someday, we will know the truth about...
... this is amazing and beautiful the universe around us...
... and maybe understand own place in it.
Extraordinary courage, strength and, I think, courage...
... to say, "Let's vomit everything to stop, bring everyone...
... back to prehistory where it's not that fast "
Given the way the world moves so fast, this just says:
"I want you to see something. I will take you through something You never thought you would experience. "
The way to make the movie concentrates...
... at seven or eight, when he called them, "non-submarine unit."
And what this means is that you are very good pieces, and you have others...
... and when you have six good pieces, You almost got home with a film.
It will be easy to connect them, and...
... you can see this principle operates...
... especially in '2001'...
... where I believe that the bit is not quite suitable
And this is why there is a mystery about that which people are still interested in.
I only remember seeing the picture for the first time...
... and feel that it's not a movie, this is the first time...
... the form of motion has changed
It's not a documentary, and it's not drama...
... and that's not true science fiction.
That's earlier in science.
Things, apart from your extraordinary intellect, have you ever been frustrated...
... by your dependence on people to take action?
Not a bit.
I like working with people.
I have a stimulating relationship with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman.
The responsibility of my mission ends all ship operations...
... so I keep busy I put myself as much as possible using...
... all of which, I think, are there Whether you know you can expect to do it.
Not like a lot is a science fiction writer...
... including, I must say, myself...
... he considers the future as unknown.
This is the first film, the first work actual science fiction...
... I think, describes the future as unknown.
Eighteen months ago...
... first proof intelligent life of the earth...
... has been found.
It's buried 40 feet under the surface of the moon...
... near Tycho's crater.
Except for one, it's very strong...
... radio emissions intended for Jupiter...
... that four million year monolith remains totally inert...
... origin and destination...
... still a total mystery.
I feel amazed -
I'm amazed by the mystery of the universe.
Something Einstein often said:
"Anyone who is not fascinated by the universe, they have no soul. "
So from the start I was surprised _ space and time have tickled me...
... and Stanley and I tried to include some of these feelings into the film.
I think it makes people aware of that we...
... a rather small part of a very large universe.
It's hard to realize when we made the film...
... we don't know what appears on earth like from outer space from all distances.
These things must be imagined.
The special effect is quantum jumping forward for the film industry.
This looks real.
Stanley is very strict and very specific ideas...
... about how this model must be turned on.
Genuine attention to detail...
... coloring, contaminates the model...
This has never been seen before.
One of the best examples for my contribution...
... what is known as slitscan sequence, sequence of stargate.
There is a lot of evolution for that concept...
... how you will be transported from one dimension to another.
It was never solved in the scenario.
I remember, I know is an experimental filmmaker...
... who are exploring this whole idea from old exposures...
... and while the shutter is open, he will move various types of artwork...
... in front of the camera scan...
... color blocks and objects to movies...
... in a rather unusual way.
I think if you take what he does, is flat and two-dimensional...
... and make it three dimensions on the Z axis...
... you can make this streak exposure.
Like exposure time. Light the car on the highway.
If you let the shutter open...
... the car's light becomes a beam of light.
I thought of me There might be several ways...
... to apply it to the order of stargate
I walked right then To Stanley's office.
I said, "I think this is the answer to stargate "
And he saw it and said, "I think you are right."
He said, "Do whatever you need to do, You have carte blanche to do it. "
That is my overall example experience in '2001'...
... has the support of Stanley to explore, experiment...
... take risks and produce something different.
If you can imagine a giant Ferris wheel, and if you cover it...
... with skin. Inside the edge of the skin...
... imagine the set being built...
... and imagine an endless hall with things along the side.
Well, it's spinning.
There is a scene where I go downstairs...
... and other astronauts, Gary Lockwood, is eating...
... apparently upside down, because he's on the other side of the centrifuge.
I seem to be walking upside down to him
How it really is done is that Gary has a hidden harness.
He's upside down, so I came on the right side...
... and they just turned on Gary for me, and I just walked in place.
There is this constant theme spinning, spinning, spinning.
The space station and spacecraft are rotating.
Everything is in orbit.
And it forms a style...
... from images that can be interrupted which will eventually...
... lean on Stanley's mind to Strauss waltz.
I think the history of cinema is divided into two important eras:
Before Stanley Kubrick and after Stanley Kubrick.
Especially in connection with for the use of music in films.
Before Stanley Kubrick, music tended to be for use in films...
... as decorative or as an increase in emotions.
After Stanley Kubrick, because of hers use of classical music especially...
... it becomes very important part of the narrative...
... this film's intellectual drive.
I really know that piece of Ligeti he has used...
But in this film it is recommended that like that will...
... outside the speed of light and then we enter in another world
I never knew whether the picture appeared from music or vice versa.
The right thing to say is that they have become in their imagination, clear... ... and it has become ours, is completely inseparable
When '2001' was opened, was like the previous films from Kubrick's...
... it separates the two critics and the audience.
Opening of '2001' is very scary...
... because we have all executives sitting in the audience...
... very old, many of them.
They don't understand the movies in all and left, all lines from them.
And we panicked from being attacked. Then there is a big one...
... disaster meeting in our hotel room...
... and Stanley was very angry he lost his voice
We wake up all night. Next morning we went to this house...
... and Stanley is fighting in New York.
I fell, grabbed my hand bag, opposite...
... my sleep fell asleep, because I didn't sleep all night.
And wake up to the sound of a DJ...
... saying:
"This is the most fantastic film and People are lining up around the block. "
He is talking about '2001'.
I'm really trying for Stanley's ring to tell him...
... some people like it, it is a brigade blue pin that comes out.
He told me that the first...
... screening of exhibitors '2001'...
... already, I believe he said, 241 strikes.
You know, I'm sure he counted it too When I first saw '2001', I didn't like it...
... and I am very disappointed
Then three or four months later, I'm with some women in California...
... and he told me How beautiful the film is.
And I go to see it again...
... and I like it more The second time I saw it.
Then a few years later I saw it again and I thought:
"Wow, this is true a sensational film "
And it was one of several times in my life I realized...
... it's the artist far ahead of me.
Many people don't understand the first time around...
... and I really like quoting MGM executives who say:
"That's the end from Stanley Kubrick "
The message was successful, even so We didn't mean specifically.
Stanley wants to create an experience.
People will get a message from him according to their own philosophy.
'2001' accepts a National Catholic Award for his imaginative vision...
... men's creative encounter with the universe.
Some rotation for Kubrick, who has been so angry...
... Catholic legends about modesty with 'Lolita'.
'2001' also won an Academy Award for the best visual effects.
As a director and film designer...
... Kubrick received the only Oscar.
That is a process like that...
... personally taking control is not just people...
... technology, art and filmmaking craft.
He is that He manifests everything.
And he invited actors, cinematographers...
... and the production designer comes into his family and collaborates...
... which for some is difficult.
After working with him in '2001', I swear I will never work for anyone again.
Stanley is a professor.
He is difficult and demanding.
The level of quality control is only approaches the perfection of astronomy.
I find, as a young man, this is difficult.
His mind is so insatiable and very active...
... that he could hardly sleep, he could hardly stop.
I see Stanley Kubrick working and doing his work seven days a week...
... almost 24 hours a day.
And I think he's having a hard time maintaining his own intelligence.
Kubrick is now turning to the mighty historical character...
... the victory, failure and personality fascinated him: Napoleon.
Napoleon is still in his grave, waiting to be revived.
I wonder what Napoleon will think about Lew Wasserman and David Picker.
Either he really likes to have it gives an assessment of his life.
... worldly genius...
... that, at the same time, failed.
Stanley was fascinated by that fact someone who is very intelligent...
... and very talented, Can make such mistakes.
He likes to compare wars and chess...
... and make a film, and the idea sees everything as a battle
All directors like the analogy of battle for films...
... and of course nobody planned...
... with mixed results.
If someone is careful plan something...
... anything wrong seems to be causing havoc.
If Stanley is afraid of anything, it makes a mistake like that...
... where you got carried away without checking
There is a chess player in him.
Maybe that's why He took a long time between films.
The Napoleon project has been well prepared. We are ready to go to Romania...
... where we can have 5000 cavalry, including commander officers.
We have uniform paper and everything is ready...
... and then came the film 'Waterloo'.
It's a very good movie with Rod Steiger...
... but failed at the box office, and our supporters were scared and backed away.
On 1 969, the Kubrick family lived close to the film studio...
... at Elstree, Hertfordshire.
He always likes to stay here.
There are times where he misses for New York...
... but he knew it was a New York that no longer exists.
When you raise your children here and their friends...
... stay here, and you know, You are bound.
Do you know what the camera looks like?
-This is a home movie - -Arrlex.
I watched my video as very fresh 10 years...
... becomes very fresh for him.
But also, he is bossy and too patient...
... and put the director's hat in an inappropriate way
Bring him away, Anya.
-There is a release, we're filming. -I try to.
Take him and take him away
As a child, I remember thinking:
"You should not speak to me like this "
-Do you often find me in patience? -Yes!
Oh, I don't believe that I don't believe that.
You just got angry a few minutes ago.
You can't do this stupid movie because everyone giggles.
And because I can't play like that.
I think I'm one of the most- angry people you've ever met
Kubrick has found privacy and calm in England...
... but this world will happen torn apart by the next project:
An adaptation of Anthony Burgess' controversial novel:
Orange Clockwork.
There are several parts that you have in your career...
... that no one else can play, that you were born to play.
That is one part of it.
There's me
That is, Alex, and three of my droogs.
That means, Pete, Georgie and Dim.
And we sit at Korova Milk Bar, trying to make us rassoodocks...
... what to do with night
Milk plus vellocet or synthemesc or drencrom...
... that's what we drink.
This will sharpen you...
... and get you ready for a little from the old mass violence.
I remember saying to him once, "How do you go straight?
What's your style?" And he said:
"I really don't know. I never knew what I wanted. But I knew what I didn't want. "
I don't think I've ever had it it's fun at work.
I have worked with other major directors, certainly Lindsay Anderson....
... of course, in the character from Alex too
He is an evil bitch...
... but the big thing I think about Stanley and I have in common...
... is a bad sense of humor.
... to help Charlie's prison with Sunday services
He is bolshy, the great burly bastard
But he really likes me, I am very young...
... and also now very interested in in the Ledgers
I don't really like the final part of the Book...
... which is more like all sermons speak...
... rather than fighting and long out.
I like which parts are old yahoo tolchok with each other...
... then drink their Hebrew vino...
... and get into bed with their maid.
That makes me go away.
He explored this extreme topic...
... that you sometimes want to retreat from...
... as in 'Clockwork Orange'.
But they...
... explored in this way dissected them
Really dissected them to try to find out...
... what made that kind of bad bug?
And I think that there is a search Behind all the films...
... to say, by:
In a world where we know humans is capable of being the most basic...
... shocking destructive behavior...
... is hope and virtue possible?
Lasts! Do I come in, you coward bastard! I also don't want to live.
Not in a rotten world like this.
And what is foul-smelling?
What kind of world is that ?
Men on the moon.
Men spin around the Earth.
And there is no attention paid...
... for worldly law and order no more.
Oh, dear land I fight for you You have to say...
... Stanley's view of human nature...
... indeed, you know very well very, very gloomy
This is quite magical, in this day and age...
... has pursued this type of career he pursued...
... in making this uncompromising film
That night was very pleasant.
And what I need now to give a perfect ending...
... a little from van Ludwig old.
Kubrick is playing with music...
... with what he did before.
After being taken like a truly classy classical music score...
... for the previous movie...
... now he says Beethoven...
... but we will also have "William Tell Overture" played quickly.
Kubrick is playing the same way like when Alex visited a record shop.
It's on the record rack is a copy of '2001'.
That is a great joke, but also we also talk about a director...
... who have given up are influenced by others.
A major film director His influence has become himself.
For now the music is beautiful who came to help me
There is an open window with stereo in...
... and I immediately immediately negotiated What to do.
I did two weeks of narration.
It feels like the purest type of filmmaking
You know, only Sennheiser and Nagra microphones, that's all they have.
There is no operator That is Stanley pressing the button, that's all.
And it's very you know, is concentrated, so I would say:
"I have to stretch my legs, Stanley." And he will say, "Ping-pong."
He always tried to beat me, he never did it, not on ping pong.
Chess, another problem.
So we will have fun, we will play, and we will come back...
... we will do another part. Voiceover works well.
So about six months later, my agent said:
"Bliss, you have two weeks Your voice-over has not been paid. "
I went, "I went out to see Stanley this afternoon.
I will mention it to him. "
Leave, I think I said, "By the way, my agent told me...
... that I hadn't been paid for the two-week narration. "
He has a sliding rule in his pocket and he takes it out.
He goes like this, and he goes:
"I will pay you for a week." I left, "A week?"
He left, "another week is pingpong! "
Oh, bliss!
It's beautiful and beautiful gorgeosity makes meat.
It feels like a bird is the rarest spinning metal paradise
Or like silvery wine flows in the spaceship...
As I slooshied...
... I know beautiful images like that.
Stanley is very happy with Bliss choices...
... and he delivered it.
We are very, very close.
I, of course, think that this is great friendship
... and it hasn't finished yet very much movies...
... it's a bit inexperienced...
... that, you know, that's the way from film life is:
Intense, separate relationships.
So I expect that relationship to continue in several forms...
It's over for him.
I think the other is, some of the things I say about him...
... which might not be fair...
... maybe it was shouting to say:
"Stanley, pick up the phone and call me "
And of course, he never did it.
I have arranged a little surprise for you Surprising?
... as...
'Clockwork Orange' is handled in part with media exploitation...
... but now real life imitated art.
This film is blamed for a lot of brutal crimes committed by youth...
The attack on 'Clockwork Orange' is very fierce in England.
That's amazing.
He was immediately accused of murder and chaos Then every crime in England is because of 'Clockwork Orange'.
Stanley was accused of inciting violence...
... and it becomes very, very ugly.
He got terrible papers, you know, almost threatening death
There are several death threats.
He asked Warner, "Please help me?
I can't stay here if this continues
I'm afraid to send my children school, my house is surrounded
I don't want to show the film again. "
'Clockwork Orange' has been played successfully for 61 weeks...
... but press attacks and threats violence against him and his family...
... encourage Kubrick to withdraw the film from British cinema
That is an amazing display power director
What happened to us was that a filmmaker should...
... the kind of power it has to be able to do it.
No other filmmaker can stop a studio to distribute their film.
Studios is about making money.
For him to be able to do that always amazes us.
I remember me as a young person thinking filmmaker:
"Amazing."
But more than that actually, he has the will to do it
This hurts him financially, But he doesn't care.
This hurts Warner Bros. even more Financially, but they are obligatory.
It's not worthy of them.
With you with Stanley, and making more films with Stanley.
Having him under contract for the rest of his life is more important...
... than if the film was screened in England.
For the release of the film, Kubrick goes beyond the role of a director...
... persuaded Warner Bros. about how the film should be sold If you have taken all problems with preproduction, shooting...
... with postproduction and try to get a movie together...
... and approach it in many ways...
... why aren't you part of it Just when the public will see it?
'Clockwork Orange' is the second best-selling film...
... in Warner's history after 'My Fair Lady'.
I will meet with a foreign distribution guys and say, "Wait a minute.
What we do is follow Stanley's instructions...
... and get good results. We large quantities are prohibited in the picture...
... You said it would be disastrous because it was so inaccessible. good? "
They go, "No, he doesn't know. He just hurts the buttocks. "
Kubrick has a unique relationship with Warner Bros:
Complete creative control and support from a large studio in Hollywood.
We all feel jealous because more than anything here.
The fact that one studio will do it supports the artist in that way...
That is a question works with a master...
... and want to do it Stanley Kubrick films.
There are no escape fees, it's always overblown...
... and overestimated because he shot a movie for a long time.
But he did it at a low cost.
You will walk on the Kubrick set, which is almost never allowed, I can add...
... and admire the fact that almost no one is there.
Compared to most films, there must be a crowd of people with donuts...
... and passing coffee and people coming and going.
I see it as an absolute priority.
Something we will live on focus our attention on...
... and it continues to nurture relationships...
... and to improve relationships.
He obviously is always a step ahead from me. He calls me once...
... I'm at Warner...
... I think he's getting ready to do 'Lyndon'...
... and he said, "Do you have one of them...
... a special BNC camera which we use for the back process?"
I said, "Why?" He said, "For sentimental reasons...
... I want to buy one of your if I can get it. "
I called the camera department and I said, "Do you have one?"
They say, "We have a partner."
I called Stanley back and said, "I have a partner."
He said, "I want to get a camera. I admire the work. "
I said, "Good," and sent one or maybe two, I don't remember.
About six months later, Gottschalk, who ran Panavision for us...
... and who is the and optical genius certified camera, called and said:
"Why did you send it Rear projection camera to Kubrick?"
I said, "He asked them, they sat there...
... we don't use back projection anymore "
He said, "They are priceless, at most Fantastic works have been put on the camera. They were conceived brilliantly. The camera works that were executed brilliantly. You depend on it. I want to get everyone I can, because I can't duplicate it. "
Stanley has anticipated that and acquired and built his own camera!
He's looking for an old-fashioned Mitchell BNC camera...
... for very specific reasons.
This is the only camera where he has the chance...
... matches this big Zeiss lens.
Stanley sent me this lens and said, Can I install it on the BNC camera?
I said it was absolutely impossible because the BNC has two windows...
... thick aperture plate, and all that...
... between the film plane and the rear element of the lens.
So I explained it to Stanley and said we have to...
... damn it destroys your camera and makes it pure dedicated.
He said, "Just go ahead."
This was originally designed, developed and produced...
... by Zeiss, for NASA.
NASA plans to use it in satellite photography
For that reason, this is a very fast lens This is f0.7...
... the two stops are faster than the lenses available even today.
Of course, Stanley 's intention for this lens is to shoot...
... the famous candle scene in 'Barry Lyndon'.
That's why, he shot with the lens wide open, f0.7.
Consequently, he has practically no depth of field at all.
It's enough to do it, but of course...
... the picture is really pretty
I thought Stanley had the concept wanted to do something...
... in a way that has never been reached before
He wants to put himself in it century and with this character...
... and this arrangement and give you how to see them...
... as seen when the book was written
But he uses the most extraordinary modern and brave instruments.
The fact that he uses this candle. That's part of it...
... but also the interior, The sun goes into the room.
That's to achieve it attendance in a period...
... in a way that I don't think anyone ever did before I know it's a costume cut, but I hope he will take it somewhere else.
He took it back in time. Using from an attractive zoom lens...
... because you will never think to use a zoom lens in the past.
No, the zoom lens flattens it out like an 18th century painting.
Movement, body language...
... and music usage and editing...
... how to transport at that time when Ryan O'Neal, the extraordinary...
... and Marisa Berenson when I met her, kissed her on the balcony...
... with music and movement.
Stanley doesn't want the film to look like a traditional film...
... where the period of clothing looks like a wardrobe
He wants his clothes to move and has life
He wanted to do something that reminded certain painters of that period.
Stanley sent me to all types of auction houses that were transacting...
... with period costumes, so we are mixing some period costumes.
Stanley wants beautiful material, as he said correctly:
"That's why in the painting They gave the beautiful lamp. "
Everyone talks about 'Barry Lyndon'...
... as a beautiful 18th century film.
That's because of the way he shot him, the way he encouraged us to do our work.
You know, as an artist...
... You are very often instinctively Design...
... and intellectually justify...
... your creativity...
... very difficult.
I think the same thing applies to actors.
Even though he knows and is respected, I'm sure, the actors...
... he will permutate their appearance...
... almost to the breaking point.
I remember...
... went on set one day and there one thousand candles lit.
There's a big storm out there...
... and there are men outside, who, because the storm must hold...
... big lights
There is a big storm in Dublin and the hail is cold.
I think "I hope they don't do it must do it too long "
And then the candles burn out very gradually
Stanley just sits there with Hardy Kr ger...
... discussing the problem Hardy and he just said:
"Well, Hardy, I think we should..."
Kr ger, I think, has started also in the state
It's interesting, I never got it confused, never raised his voice.
He's great at working with actors because it's one-to-one.
You have an relationship with the director
If he works with any details in the role of the actor...
What's your call, Lord Bullingdon?
Chief.
This is the head.
Lord Bullingdon will have it first fire
Lord Bullingdon...
... will you take your land?
And that is the fact that Stanley is so open...
... and very interesting. When I ask him a question...
... maybe about the lighting or the camera, the lens...
... he will take the problem to talk about it really...
... well detailed ways so that I understand what's happening...
... and that really encouraged me.
If he comes to the floor, he doesn't know how to shoot a scene.
He is not sure how he will do it...
... As an actor, I found it stimulating because he said:
"Do whatever you think You will do it, but do it real.
That can change the way I was thinking about that scene. "
Sir Richard, this gun must be wrong
I have to have another one.
I'm sorry, Lord Bullingdon, but you must first stand your land...
... and allow Mr. Lyndon chance to shoot
I always feel Stanley...
... a filmmaker who is the most appreciated by his filmmakers.
Criticism is always sought for something that is not in the film...
... and then they are disappointed.
That's a bit Error Stanley
... for example, 'Barry Lyndon'.
I think everyone expects a kind of 'Tom Jones' movie to be hoarse.
You realize when you see the movie it's about...
... it's a little dim, handsome boy...
... try to look for clues and signals for what is right behavior
"What behavior is happening? to advance me in this society?"
So this movie is really about a young man who defines himself...
... in climate That is foreign to him.
That is not what people do at all This causes to believe that it happened.
... very small paper and a smaller television station...
... absolutely no respect...
... extraordinary effort that entered these films...
... and just brushed it off.
Whatever film Stanley made, what I like about his job...
... are they really conscious
You might like them, You might not like them...
... You might say, "How about this, That or something else?"
But everyone is pretty much acknowledging he is a Man...
... and I still feel that he is underneath.
The next film from Kubrick looks much more commercial.
With Stephen King's best-selling novel, 'The Shining'...
... he took the opportunity to make a film that will satisfy him artistically...
... and meet box office demands.
I asked about 'The Shining', and he said:
"Actually, this is an optimistic picture "
I said, "On what basis, Stanley?" And he said--
As an existential, pragmatic man, he said:
"Well, in some ways this film is about ghosts
Anything that says there is something After death is an optimistic story. "
'The Shining' has a picture I woke up screaming.
The boy is in the hall.
Shots tracking...
Boys on a bicycle.
.... the boy
The feeling of the movement gives it the picture in the place of this feeling
You know something is building in this place
This is blandness, say, from the people. calm them down. Is Tony the one? tells something?
But when I wake up, I don't remember everything.
Did Tony ever tell you? anything about this place
This is holding back this emotion, a strong blow will happen
You know it will come somehow, at a time...
... and that only creates such tension.
Is there something bad here?
At first I was stunned by the performance...
... and then afterwards third or fourth display...
... I understand level of intensity...
... from what Nicholson did.
I'm not sure that is meant to be...
... what is a typical horror film, which is a realistic depiction...
... from supernatural madness.
I think that what happened in the film...
... most of it happened on Jack Nicholson's head.
Hi, Lloyd.
It's a bit slow tonight, isn't it?
Yes, this is, Mr. Torrance.
I like the type of film he made.
I don't need naturalistic _ in a film...
... feel satisfied as an actor.
One thing he told me that I will always remember is:
"In the film you don't...
... try and photograph reality...
... You tried and photographed a photo of reality. "
I know it won't be a show about special behavior...
... but it will be - I always think of it as ballet...
... in 'The Shining'.
Another lesson is, "This is Jack...
... the script says, " Jack doesn't write. "
The question is, what did he do?"
I said, "Whenever I am in a big empty place...
... that you usually will not be alone in...
... I always think of doing something which I might do outside. "
And that's where the throw is - the tennis ball along the picture -
And finally it happened most of the performances.
It's rolling to things...
... it was thrown long aisle, all those things.
And that's from those little things that he will develop...
... pre-formed oddities.
He often says that every scene, really, has been done Our job is to always do it just a little better
Mr. Grady...
... you are the caretaker here
Sorry I'm different from you, sir.
But you...
... is the caretaker.
You have always been a caretaker.
I should know, sir.
I'm always here.
We have a good and friendly relationship.
I mean he will turn you on in an instant and say:
"Okay, you're a big person. Let's see. "
It's just as rude as I once was.
He's a totally different director with Shelley.
-Roll video? -Two seconds.
We kill ourselves. Ready!
-I stand right near the door. -Mood music?
-I can't hear -When you come out like this--
-See despair -They say, "Wait."
- Then you say, "Go." -You must look desperate.
-You are wasting our time. -I can't open the door.
For people who are very charming and very pleasant...
... indeed dear...
... he can do something beautiful cruel things...
... when you filmed
Because it seems to me sometimes...
... that finally justifies the meaning.
Don't!
Stop it!
This is Johnny!
That is a very difficult role.
It's a long shootout and I have to cry and hyperventilate...
... and bring a small child and run away...
... for most of the time we were shot.
And that's about one year, _ a little more than a year
Anywhere between 30 and 50 exercises videotape...
... before we even roll the film.
I will not exchange that experience for anything Why? Because of Stanley.
And that is very interesting learning experience.
That is work that is so intense, I think it makes you smarter.
But I don't want to pass it anymore We work with material in the book...
... and try to make music that suits your mood...
... from updated Gothic horror stories.
That is what is meant by 'The Shining' Really, as a novel, in any case.
Of course, stylization is out of filming...
... not in this book.
So we fail in our efforts.
That's why there are other music in the film
Danny, you win
Let's finish the rest this goes
... from some Ligeti music, some Penderecki music.
And many background patterns and textures...
... with heartbeat and hissing, electronics, strange sounds...
... all mixed together. That's how finally did what he was looking for.
When 'The Shining' is released, the response varies.
Some people appreciate the puzzle and ambiguity.
Others feel Kubrick has gone too far from King's book.
When I say that people...
... they only see what is in the frame What is the movie "movieness"?
Of course they like Stanley in a very uncomplicated way.
Even though society is critical...
... tend to be fussy and restless...
... for what Stanley did.
After 'The Shining', Kubrick and his family...
... moving to a mansion in the Hertfordshire countryside.
Except when filming on location, he will do all his work here...
... supported by a small, dedicated team
The jokes we have about Stanley are -
This is the point You will never hear from it...
... is, "Don't disturb me with details, I believe in your judgment. "
Stanley will involve himself in such a way...
... with the item details one thought below it.
He should have done great things...
... not worrying how do you have files in your office
I think he saw it as a package deal. You care or not.
When we went to Ireland in 'Barry Lyndon'...
... he left this 15-page document...
... care instructions on how to treat animals.
And the 37th instruction is:
"If the fight must develop between Freddy and Leo--"
That is the father and son tomcats that we have--
"The only way you can do anything is to dump water on them...
... try taking Freddy and run out of the room.
Don't try and pick Leo up.
Or, if you open the door and Let Freddy come out, he can run faster than Leo...
... but if it's stuck in a place where you can't separate them...
... keep throwing water, shouting, hopping...
... and annoying and waving a shirt.
Try and separate them and take Freddy. "
I remember he had a cat drinking too much and I said:
" Maybe you can measure it how much he drinks "
He said, "No, that's not possible. There are too many cats. "
Then he called back and said, "I can count the number of rounds."
And he said, "How many rounds of each take water?"
I said, "I don't think has information "
He said, "I will try and find out."
He will go and try and find out...
... then he will succeed and have a figure.
He is compulsive that way.
He is a kind of main Jewish mother If an animal is sick or if one of us is sick...
... Stanley like Superman.
I myself was very sick for some time...
... and he is very sweet...
... very good, very loyal
Everything you want to be someone, him.
He is really kind.
However, when you are not sick...
... that's when you buy it.
He rarely praises you, because he has this obsession...
... that if he praises you...
... You will be smashed to pieces and not doing the job properly.
He knows how far he can push you. That's another smart thing.
Every now and then he pushes too far So confused why are you angry.
Philosophically, is just bullshit...
... honest, have a view...
... a very cool human view.
He is a warm man at home, I'm sure everyone says that.
Crazy about animals...
... but it could be...
... brutal with the people who work with him.
He isn't like that.
Sometimes he can generous too But he feels that everyone is an opponent.
No matter what, he's not sure they don't--
Don't have your own agenda.
And he won't have it in the photo
I ask a damn question, understand?
Thank you! Can I be responsible for a while?
Are you trembling? Nervous?
Sir, me, sir!
Am I making you nervous?
Will you call me a bastard?
Full Metal Jacket is based on a novel...
... Short Timer, by Gustav Hasford, a Vietnam veteran.
He collaborated in the scenario with Kubrick and Herr...
... who covered the war as the correspondent.
He was thinking about it making war films
I said, "You have made the way of glory "
He said, "People think about it as an anti-war film. I want to make war films...
... just to consider the subject...
... without morality or political position...
... but as a phenomenon. "
Damn it! Snipers have a clean shot through a hole!
What did he finally do in Full Metal Jacket...
... he has almost detachment views.
This is like the eyes of God in the second half of the film.
It's still like that and it's released.
Cleanliness is...
... and its strength.
And its beauty, because Everything is very beautifully filmed.
And he understands that it's accepted...
... it's okay to know...
... that among all things war is, is also very beautiful This is the only movie that has ever been given ... also what children go through and how important a drill sergeant is.
That's right, Personal Pyle...
... don't make a damn effort to go upstairs!
If God wants you up there, He will do it Your miracled ass is there!
Get your fat ass up there!
And also its nature...
... from the tragedy.
What is your main damage, numb?
Didn't Mom and Dad show it to you? is enough attention when you're small right?
Easy, Leonard.
Go easy, man.
And then the whole movie changes and moves out.
What's interesting about Kubrick is that the structure is all.
He doesn't deal with traditional Dramatic structures, which are good.
He is experimenting.
Damn bastard!
Looks like something, right?
For directors who are considered...
... as fully tense and controlling...
... he is very free, Stanley. He will try anything.
He will ask the actor for a meeting...
... and say, "There is no such thing as a stupid idea in this context.
If you have an idea just say it. "
And he often adopts them.
I don't say Stanley Not a control freak.
I will never say that.
But there are many ways he doesn't control
You may not be able to... Must be more...
... scared, then go in there.
Do something brilliant.
I love him, I enjoy his common sense humor, but I will lie...
... if I don't say there are times when he is very difficult
If you don't want to solve it the problem is the same as him.
If you don't...
... as specified to understand...
... what is it he tried to leave after...
... it's very difficult for him.
Sometimes you don't know what he's looking for.
I remember walking around Beckton Gas Working alone...
... and he drove at jeep and said:
"What's wrong? Why are you walking around?"
I said, "I don't know what you want from me "
And he said, "Are you crazy? Enter the jeep."
He said, "I don't want you to do anything.
I want you to be yourself, that's all I want. "
You put "Born to Kill" on your helmet and put on the peace button.
Is that some kind of joke?
Now, what does that mean?
-I don't know, sir. -You don't know much.
Get your head and your butt wired together or I'll suck you!
Answering my question or you will stand tall in front of Humans.
I'm referring to human duality, sir.
Human duality. Jung's thing, sir.
Whose side are you on?
Kubrick shot part of the 'Full Metal Jacket' in London...
... where an abandoned gaswork was made into the city of Hue, Vietnam.
The four key elements are demolition, nameplate...
... palm trees and smoke
Most of them were shot at "magic hours."
"Magic clock" is a fun time day when you are all tired...
... and the light is perfect.
He died.
You collaborated with Stanley.
It's not easy to impress with what you do...
... but if you exit doesn't tick about something...
... You know that you have done it well.
You become very close You are part of the family.
This is a unit that is very close because you with him 24 hours a day sometimes.
You eat, drink and sleep.
There is no life outside the movie with Stanley.
And if you enjoy it, there is no greater experience Everyone gets their salary when they work for Stanley
But no one pays their salary the way Stanley gets paid.
Nobody works at all, very...
... obsessive, like Stanley did.
And he understands when you make a film...
... you often don't know what you want until you see it
Have you tried it Let's crack it.
One way or another...
... I feel very compensated...
... for my time with Stanley
If you are only in money, you may have different feelings.
But my feeling is that...
... I really no complaints Kubrick began working on the idea for 'Full Metal Jacket' in 1980.
When released 7 years later...
... some Vietnamese films have arrived at the screen
Kubrick, great innovator, has been followed by other filmmakers.
But still interesting to a broad audience...
... because it has all the differences the superiority of a Kubrick film.
He doesn't like that he made so few films.
He always hopes that he can do more If he has something negative in his life...
... I think it's that feeling that he's slow
I think something else I wrote about Stanley...
... there is still something grand Obsession he never realized.
Its appeal with World War II and with the film industry...
... and Goebbels during that period.
For years Kubrick has tried to find a way...
... describes the terrible humanity of the Holocaust on the screen.
He plays Louis Begley's book, Wartime...
... to be 'Arya Paper'...
... the story of Jewish families trying to avoid capture by the Nazis.
When he is ready for production...
... Spielberg starts filming Schindler List.
Feeling the similarity is too big...
... Kubrick is reluctant to be saved Arya paper
Another thing, he feels it can't be told
"If I really want to show what I have read and know happened -"
And he read everything.
"- How can I film it?
How can you fake it?"
He gets very depressed during preparation...
... and I'm happy when he gave up on it...
... because it really took .
Kubrick turns his attention to another old project...
... based on short stories by Brian Aldiss
But 'A.I.' evolved became like a giant doing...
... he is looking for cooperation with other directors He said, "You have to direct 'A.I.' and I have to produce it. "
I was surprised. I said, "Yes, right."
He said, "I'm serious. This will be the production of Kubrick from a Spielberg film. "
I remember he really gave me the title card for the whole proposal I said, "Why do you want to?"
We, for the first time, sat down and he said:
"I'll show the storyboard."
And he started showing me a large number of jobs...
... what he did
That is the project needed many special effects
He finally delayed the project for technical reasons.
Computer technology will explode...
... and he thinks he will benefit greatly from waiting a few years.
So the next project becomes 'Eyes Wide Shut'.
When 'Eyes Wide Shut' was announced as the next film Kubrick...
... celebrity columnist focus on the mysterious director...
... who did not make a movie or was given an interview in 10 years.
They rehashed old stories...
... the Kubrick never bothered to deny
He has been pegged:
"Hidden filmmaker, may be half crazy "
For a man who in my opinion, control is everything...
... the idea that he can't, in the last analysis...
... control of this image that he has - adults about who he is...
... he must have bought him despair, like, "Fuck that
If that's what they want to think about, I can't do anything. "
He handles it as it should.
I know it's rubbish That's what matters.
And that's mostly all of that is important to him...
... but the more disgusting things make him upset.
He will talk about it sometimes.
I know until the end of 'Eyes Wide Shut' he began to say:
"Okay, now I'm going to do it some of the right interviews...
... and try and set the notes a little straight "
He doesn't want to shoot tourists on his page...
... then give them money when they bleed
But also because it's another thing that is suitable for...
... nerdy monsters...
... slimming her body in her house and hating women.
Hate women? He is surrounded by them.
I think there are some men who know like women like him.
It is impossible for me to do it Be objective and say:
"He should have spoken. He should be more gregarious. "
Must? He can't. She does not. Why should it be him?
He has great courage.
He will open the door for someone looking for Stanley Kubrick and say:
"He is not at home."
For a long time, nobody knows What his face looks like.
He's very, very knowledgeable about things, Stanley.
Curious and interested In the world.
They think of someone who is very obsessive and so committed...
... that the whole world might pass it by.
He channeled the world into his life, into his kitchen
Now, this is a man that governs his life...
... so he is constantly warmed up by him family and circle of friends.
She's only a few minutes from where she works.
Any of us will be anything but jealous...
... how is he managed to organize his life?
This book is a channel about, you know...
... what's the danger married life?
What is silent despair...
... continues relationships live...
... and what are the choices?
You are good at it or you don't.
And Stanley is very much a family and in it.
The guess he made what might be like that outside...
... has a lot to do with curiosity.
That is the theme that both of us talk a lot.
He thinks about it in various ways.
It used to go back for years again and again...
... and when you see friends get divorced and remarry...
... the topic will appear again.
It has so many variations...
... and very much seriously thinking of it...
... he knows someday he will succeed.
May I ask why a beautiful woman...
... who can have someone in this case room, want to get married
Why not?
Is that bad?
As good as that
Stanley's hopes for people are not really high.
You see it in the film.
There are people he loves. Christiane is the love of his life.
He will talk about him with - He adores him.
That is something people don't know.
His daughter, adore him.
I will see it because he will do it talking to me about them, very proud.
Understanding about humans...
... is that we are very bitter.
But he admires, I think...
... like, passion and commitment and loyalty.
Finally, 'Eyes Wide Shut' is about commitment
This is a very hopeful film. People see it as dark...
... but this is very hopeful.
I have to see you again.
-That's not possible. -Why?
Because...
... I'm married.
The films are often thought of without pity.
That's good quality, It seems to me...
... because he said, "We are like that this. We are desperate, chaotic...
... wrong, desperate, requires-loving human beings. "
Finally, I think so is the main quality of the film.
He tells about humans like us...
... not like what we want to imagine.
The essence of that describes a truth...
... about relationships and sexuality.
That's not illustrated literally...
... but in a theatrical way.
People say roads aren't like New York
I said, "No problem. Look at the name of the road. There are no such roads in New York.
In a funny way, it's like that experiencing New York in a dream.
New York, but no. Looks like your wife, you know, but what did she say to me
And am I curious? Maybe I shouldn't ask. "
Because I'm a beautiful woman...
... the only reason for anyone Ever wanted to talk to me...
... because he wants to fuck me Is that what you say?
Well, I don't think that's enough which is black and white...
... but I think we both know What is that guy like?
So on that basis...
... I have to conclude that you want to fuck those two models.
There are exceptions.
And what makes you exception?
I took the character of Bill's house.
Sometimes it's not a good place to be...
... sitting, in that character for the amount of time.
Actually it's not the type of person that I, which contains...
... not communicative, likes daily routines...
... the stability of his life.
lgnoring his wife in that matter relationship.
Don't want to ride your bicycle.
Just taking something, Bill did it.
Take him, his family and his life just like that.
He's just a little too arrogant, and he just left, "bang."
I first saw it that morning in the lobby
He's checking into the hotel...
... and he followed the porter with his luggage...
... to the elevator
He glances at me as he passes. Just a glance.
No more.
But I can hardly...
... move.
When we went to practice the scene...
... the three of us and we just kind of entered our clothes...
... not Stanley, we wear our underwear
And we're only talking about scenes...
... and not really worried about the line
It's slowly developing.
We do take after take. I said to Stanley, "What do you want?"
He said, "I want the miracle. I want a miracle "
But then when the scene takes place, takes after taking it...
... You will feel that the scene reaches a certain level everyone feels interesting...
... then we will continue to work on it and it will feel bad.
That's trite. It's just not - It doesn't work And suddenly we can feel it into a place...
... none of us have really thought about it before The process of the film is a discovery.
It was never about the results. It was never about:
"Well, we have a week to shoot this scene So fast, let's do it. We may not fully explore it, but we will get something good "
Stanley wants it to explore every road...
... and then make a decision based on that
And Stanley is not restricted With time, he refuses to be.
It's a big luxury that only someone like him is capable of...
... because of what he achieved through his career to be able to say:
"Do you want to know what is gold? with filmmaking? Time is gold. "
Don't have to go from a scene...
... before you feel like You really perfected it.
I want to make fun of you...
... laugh on your face So I laughed as hard as possible.
That must be when you wake me up Another thing Stanley hated doing never explained himself.
"So, what about the film, Stanley?"
He will look down, turn away and not answer
The same for a scene, "How are you? really want this scene?"
He will never answer it.
'Eyes Wide Shut' seems like the story of rake's progress
He continues an adventure that can change in any way
This is an irresponsible adventure for him to start.
This is fantasy, isn't it? This is a dream movie.
I don't think we should believe anything we see
One thing people have difficult time with in theaters...
... is ambiguity.
Ambiguity is great, but in theaters it's almost verboten
Probably the most extraordinary example how a piece of music is used...
... something to go home about characters and stories...
... and the atmosphere of a movie is in 'Eyes Wide Shut'.
Please, come forward.
I am in Stalinist...
... Hungarian terrorists...
... where this type of music is not permitted...
... and I only write for myself.
Stanley Kubrick understands dramatically now...
... and this is what he did in the film. For me, when I compile it...
... in 50...
... that's the most desperate
That is a knife in Stalin's heart.
He has the director's illness...
... really imagine the easy part Until you get there, you know.
I'm sure he didn't enter 'Eyes Wide Silent' hoping to shoot for 14 months.
I think the same thing, I said, "I'll be out of here in three days."
The first scene we did in two hours, that night at home...
... where they entered and greeted.
I said "What's all this? I heard about it taking forever?
I went there, three hours later I returned to the hotel in London. "
I remember him teasing me, "What are you doing?"
I said, "I know it's great You are here, Sydney, you are perfect. "
Because we shoot it in a day.
And then, my Lord.
Of course, the next day...
... Sydney is out...
... and she is dressed. He wears his sleeve.
He's in his pants. He knows every line from this big scene.
He said, "Let's run the line. Let's go, Cruise.
Let's go. I have a week
We'll finish this and it will be fantastic "
And we shot a Steadicam from where I entered the room...
... and Sydney left, "How do you want me to do this?"
Stanley said, "Okay, let's try and see."
"Okay, I can go to the door quickly." "Let's see that."
He said, "Now open the door.
Maybe it's a little too fast. " "Okay, I'll go later."
We start doing scenes like this, and--
In the third week when we were in the billiard room...
... I said, "My God, how is it? How?"
Of course, Stanley said, "I didn't do it thought you'd be even longer
But don't you want to do it right? "
I say, there are many people in our business who...
Well, they label themselves as perfectionists.
That's a kind of euphemism for pain in the ass, really.
Stanley is the first real perfectionist that I met.
I mean, there is no way at all...
... for him to go one take less.
He never gives anything to whatever. So much is expected of him every time.
He is not allowed to just to make a movie
That must be an amazing film...
... because so many are waiting for for the next Kubrick movie.
That must be an event. I think, on his shoulders is responsibility.
When 'Eyes Wide Shut' is shown for the first time in New York...
... on March 1, 1999...
... for Tom and Nicole and head of the studio...
... the response was very enthusiastic.
Stanley is very, very happy.
A large and heavy weight is lifted from his shoulder I think this change is its existence...
... causes almost physical changes in the body...
... because he once lived with this big responsibility...
... for movies that are very expensive...
... which has been filming a long time for two years.
And suddenly everything is gone.
He died a week later.
The intensity is very large that Stanley has...
... with his work, He also applied for his family.
I always feel very loved, as well as children.
He is consistent...
... because he always says, "Whether you care or not."
Well, Stanley is always a man who doesn't want to repeat himself.
He created himself again with everyone the single picture he directed
As a filmmaker, you know, for me...
... he is a conceptual illustrator...
... from the human condition.
You say, "I hope he has made more, but this is enough "
Because there are so many in each, you know?
It would be nice for him to make more...
... but that is not the process.
What he does is very special, a different movie every time you see it.
I think, as a director...
... I think that what we all are admired the most...
... is that it is a single vision.
That is the vision of one person, and nobody interferes with that vision.
Full control it has in making the film...
... that means whatever is in it The head is above the screen.
I know that he fought a lot to get to that place
I think that is something that all of us have benefited from.
The two great artists Orson Welles and Stanley...
... in terms of being, you know, is original...
... no artist is prohibited.
So I will put it in the pantheon...
... from the absolute top film director which the world has seen.
And he is one of those people that kind of knows...
... what's wrong with the world in a strange way...
... and able to turn it into art.
He just doesn't grouse about it...
... or annoying or bad editorial writing.
He turned it into something. That was awesome...
... and important to us as a species.
I always think I will work with Stanley again.
We have been in contact for years and everything...
... talking about other projects.
It's sad if I don't want to Have a good chance.
I miss him.
How can someone not miss him?
He is a man who is truly unique He is a man I love and admire...
... with all difficulties he is with him
He is not an easy person, But it doesn't matter.
Obviously I worked with him for 30 years for good reason.
Stanley lost
There will never be another Kubrick movie.
You will never have a movie that will look like this again...
... because that is Stanley...
... and he encourages everyone to the limit
He pushed the film to a certain extent. He encourages actors emotionally.
But because we all want it to go there with him.
Part of the legacy of Stanley in my life is that...
... if you believe in something...
... You really believe something, devote yourself to it...
... completely, completely and don't apologize for doing it.
He feels very lucky...
... in a certain situation where he can tell...
... on a large scale, and millions of dollars involved.
I think when he was young, he didn't Dare to hope he could do that.
I don't think he ever took it .
People will say, "How are you doing, Stan?"
He will say, "I am still fooling them."
