How Stanley Kubrick Shoots A Film At 3 Budget Levels

With a career that spanned multiple decades, Stanley Kubrick is considered, with good reason, to be one of the most influential directors of all time. In this episode I’ll examine his approach to shooting 3 films at 3 different budget levels: Fear And Desire, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining.

[@shreeshsawant9907]

2001: a space odyssey.

[@coffin9666]

a clockwork orange

[@chrisperry7963]

2001: A Space Odyssey, followed quite closely by Barry Lyndon. Great job on this, I really enjoy these budget level examples.

[@109-abhinavshahakar6]

All !

[@MichaelLaing71]

Paths of Glory. Whilst it is one of Kubrick's earlier films, I also think it is maybe his greatest. It doesn't have the visuals of 2001: A Space Odyssey or Barry Lyndon and it isn't a big as Spartacus but it is perfect story telling and is maybe the greatest war movie ever made.

[@videotrash]

I read somewhere that Kubrick cried at a screening of Fear and Desire, because the audience would laugh at moments that were meant to be dramatic. Later, I believe he tried to get ahold of as many copies as possible and thus take them out of circulation, because he was so unhappy with how it turned out.

[@TheStockwell]

That story sounds dubious. "Legend has it . . ." stories are pretty much the same as "There's no legitimate source for this story." You are correct though, is saying how he was unhappy with the film. In later years, he wrote it off an embarrassing work by "a bumbling amateur."

[@videotrash]

@@TheStockwell Could be. I now looked up the source, by the way. I read it in an essay in the volume "The Stanley Kubrick Archives" entitled "Early Work", by Gene D. Phillips. The sentence in question is: "A member of the film's crew who was present recalled that Kubrick wept when some moviegoers had tittered at Mazursky's performance during the film." I don't find it implausible at all, given his age and probably high hopes for the project at the time.

[@TheStockwell]

@@videotrash I humbly acknowledge that you have your facts correct. Yes - people DO concede defeat on KZbin! 😉 I own that book - it's terrific. If it says Kubrick was in tears, I believe it - and you! Have a safe and interesting week. ☺

[@videotrash]

@@TheStockwell Haha, I appreciate it. Same to you!

[@shadowplayfilms7963]

He used to try and smash copies from the local video store in England.

[@ionste5382]

I would love to see a episode about David Lynch

[@augustgreig9420]

I agree! Please! Mullholand and lost Highway for sure.

[@ricimercury9490]

The Return has to be in it considering it’s his most expensive work yet

[@ewan897]

I would love to see the Coen brothers Bloodsimple - 1.5 Million The Big Lebowski - 15 Million True Grit - 38 Million or maybe James Cameron The terminator - 6.4 Million Aliens - 18.5 Million Avatar - 237 Million

[@sameerhafeez7029]

I would love to see James Cameron

[@willfredfrancois3641]

We need one of these on: The Coen brothers Denis Villeneuve Wes Craven J.J. Abrams The Wachowski's David Fincher Paul Thomas Anderson Love In Depth Cine!

[@zacharyantle7940]

“Making it through” one of your videos, you make it sound like I struggle lol. These are a breeze hehe. And I’d love to see a video on Michael Apted, I this he’s be a real interesting subject since he’s done so many different kinds of movies, both narrative features and documentaries lol

[@andynarv2525]

We need a PTA edition of this!

[@Junichi-cinema]

Hard eight, boogie nights and phantom thread maybe?

[@jarx7500]

He had pretty similar budgets, had advantage because he had experience with people around him and film and his dad was pretty popular, pretty high arthouse following , but not high enough because he didn’t make mainstream movies

[@daniel_wilkinson]

Baby Stanley Kubrick is absolutely not how I would have pictured him without the beard. I thought he was born with it.

[@LeonardoKlotz]

Everytime I see Kubrick's works, I feel inspired It's like stepping into his mind

[@CornishCreamtea07]

I would love to see one on John Carpenter, he really got the most of a budget, large or small.

[@bobunitone]

RLM just did a 3 part retro. Check it out. Not tech heavy though like this channel. Still fun

[@Aizberg]

My favourite director. Amazing, detailed, professional video as always.

[@julianburrus9956]

The video we’ve all been waiting for

[@robertobuatti7226]

You can definitely see the perfection in his camera moves and shots in The Shining, which really elevates the going mad cabin fever narrative with tension and suspense.

[@HBarnill]

Do Paul Thomas Anderson next!

[@Appleboot]

I'm sure he's already done a video on him at three budget levels, but I can't find it on his channel anymore. Did he take it down?

[@maxkern4419]

Very informative and well done! Thank you for the effort you put into these videos! :)

[@DethronerX]

Thanks once again for a wonderful Essay and experience, very well explained, with the best talking tempo and emotion with the perfect edit. As always

[@captain_giacco]

What a truly wonderful episode. I enjoyed it very much and learned some new things about directing. Thank you!

[@joshuabirchall8384]

Great vid. Would love to see you do Guy Ritchie or David Fincher

[@TooManyHobbiesJeremy]

I really enjoyed this video, and I didn't expect to get a history of the director. Nice work, now I'll watch the other director features videos you made. ♥️

[@109-abhinavshahakar6]

Beautiful epesoide and explanation... I would love to see more Kubrick content... ☺️👍🏻

[@AxlCamacho]

damn bro great time to be alive, this videos are pure f gold

[@olivierleclerc9841]

Love the video ! Good job

[@chickenflavor9880]

AWESOME!!! I think I requested this.

[@Prodbyjah464]

Don’t know if you’ve done it already but i would love to hear a Christopher Nolan one. He had an ultra low budget for following, medium memento and the prestige, then high for dark knight inception and interstellar.

[@MichaelLaing71]

As always an exceptionally informative video. If you are covering directors, I would suggest Ridley Scott, with a large and varied filmography and a very technical knowledge, I image a video covering 3 different budgets would be very interesting.

[@jaspertan9904]

OH MY GOD! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIMEEEE!!!

[@jarrethendrickson2203]

Would love to see one of these on PTA.

[@irjanvikre5411]

I would love too see one of theese on Guy Rtichie, his movies realy fit well with the three budget format.

[@rossjennings8264]

Please follow up your video on Paul Thomas Anderson: Hard Eight Boogie Nights/Punch-Drunk Love Phantom Thread

[@deckofcards87]

Excellent video! It's worth noting the German director Max Ophüls when describing Kubrick's approach to production, also. Not only was Ophüls' style a major influence on Kubrick's but also the way he budgeted his early films, particularly in the 1940s during the war. I see many similarities.

[@kaushik8762]

Please make a 3 level Budget series on Paul Thomas Anderson

[@Namik.33-6]

Great youtube Videos. please please dont stop i need you

Brilliant, as always.

Will you ever do Peter Jackson?

Kubrick was a genious of CINEMA art and also indystry leading man..

[@proxkei2266]

[@babaaashiqshaik3745]

Also do Alfred Hitchcock

[@gladwinmorwe505]

What are your thoughts on Guillermo del Toro?

[@srinivassridhar5151]

David Lynch please!! Man's a legend ❤️ A legitimate genius.

[@nathanksimpson]

It would be cool to see some Korean directors like Park Chan Wook or Lee Chang Dong. Or I guess Bong Joon Ho.

[@SongvilayFilms]

The King

[@Eyeofkamau]

Forgot to mention the moon missions, he had a $5000 budget for those

[@jayaprakash387]

Denis villeneuve next.

[@marioricciardi5780]

Out of curiosity, are your budgets adjusted for inflation?

Fear and Desire - Should have been a film short not a feature.

Can you do Peter Jackson next Sam Raimi Gordon Parks and Spike Lee.

[@mattyt1961]

Spike Lee was done a few months ago

[@Chaizin]

Do James Cameron next!

[@archangecamilien1879]

5:39 lol..."stylistic traits carried over into his later films, such as realistic performances"...they say that as if that's a matter of the director wanting them, lol...like, director X says: "I like realistic performance", and director Y says: "I like fake performances", lol...I mean, yeah, sometimes they want it to look over the top (Kubrick is supposed to have wanted that for the general-character in Doctor Strangelove, going for the over-the-top takes every time, lol, having had him behave more realistically in other takes, something about him not telling the actor he would go for the over-the-top ones, something about him perhaps not potentially liking that), but you see what I mean...usually, everyone wants realistic performances...I've always wondered how Stanley Kubrick obtained them, lol...

[@archangecamilien1879]

It's like, lol, saying: "This composer wants good playing, this other composer wants bad playing", I mean, lol...or "The style of this general is to have brave soldiers, while the style of this other general is to have ones who are cowardly"...the question could be: "Why are there usually good players?", lol...anyway, lol, for acting, is it because of all his takes?...Lol...anyway, it's something I've wondered, I suppose one can say it's his style, but it's hard to imagine someone who wouldn't have wanted it, and that just willing it can make it happen..

[@HGQjazz]

I think Kubrick drove BOTH Shelly Duvall AND Jack Nicholson crazy.

[@davidle4936]

Do David Fincher! 1. Se7en $33 million 2. The Social Network $40 million 3. Gone Girl $61 million

A film every 3 years for that long is still quite a few

[@AdityaSingh-oh2fw]

Andrei Tarkovsky, someday? 🤷‍♂️

[@McSuilenroc]

I can respect Kubrick as a talented director, but his mistreatment of Shelley Duvall was unnecessary, and honestly, something that's very shameful.

[@HBarnill]

Scorsese's abused women early in his career. Does that make you think less of him?

To be fair- the shining s budget probably wouldn't have been as high if a set hadn't completely burned down. Thats probably quite a costly accident

Nuri Bilge Ceylan

[@TheJoshuamooney]

Before I watch this, do you take inflation and other economic realities over decades into account when you’re dealing with money, budgets, studio financing issues, etc. Because so many well-meaning cinema analysts stupidly fail to do so. Drives Me nuts.

[@errhka]

While I understand the importance of his films, they've never really been for me. Too many 'visionary' sequences without a focus on the story and characters (and if it about those things, it's usually more obscure). I understand though I must be in the minority in the film community at least hehe! I concede I do think Dr. Strangelove is clever + hilarious and 2001 is a technical marvel

[@linusfotograf]

I always put my own imagination to use whenever I watch those typenof sequences.

[@monkii5258]

The Shining is one of the scariest movies i've seen at its not really that scary, its just insanely eerie and weird, an experiece very few films can have an affect on you but to an extent I agree some parts of his work is pretty pretentious IMO.
