The Genius and Madness of Stanley Kubrick | Joe Rogan and Whitney Cummings

Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #1328 w/Whitney Cummings: • Video

[@blaisetelfer8499]

Kubrick hated living in Hollywood and would only go there on business or to accept awards; the rest of the time, he lived in either New York or London with his family. It's crazy how he got the label of a recluse and a madman simply for maintaining his privacy and not constantly shoving his image in the public eye, like most people the second they get famous.

[@thephilosopher7173]

Well the negative press I think is propaganda. I say that because Eyes Wide Shut was his last movie, and there's interview (forgot from who) where the man talks about how at the exec screening for the film, 45mins in two execs burst out with Kubrick screaming at him to the point where he thought they would break out into a physical fight. A week later Kubrick passes. Coincidence? Maybe, but the propaganda about him being crazy, is definitely not imo.

My favorite Kubrick story is from when he was shooting Paths to Glory. To quote Kirk Douglas' telling of the story: He made the veteran actor Adolphe Menjou do the same scene 17 times. "That was my best reading." Menjou announced. "I think we can break for lunch now." It was well past the usual lunch time but Kubrick said he wanted another take. Menjou went into an absolute fury. In front of Douglas and the entire crew he blasted off on what he claimed was Kubrick's dubious parentage and made several other unprintable references to Kubrick's relative greenness in the art of directing actors. Kubrick merely listened calmly and after Menjou had spluttered to an uncomplimentary conclusion said quietly: "All right, let's try the scene once more." With utter docility, Menjou went back to work.

[@robertgiles9124]

So Kubrick was a nut case and sadist. Got it. If you need 17 takes either you are a poor Director; you hired the wrong actor.

[@richardjarrell3585]

Malcolm McDowell in his commentary on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE notes that on that film Kubrick did few takes because, after all the cost overruns on 2001, he was determined to prove to Warner Brothers that he could bring a film in under budget.

I went to a screening of The Shining in 4K Remastering done by Leon Vitali himself at the Egyptian Theatre a few months ago. He just humbly stood in the lobby before the film, no one really talking to him. So I went up to him and was able to tell him how thankful I was for his work. He asked me questions about myself. Really humble sweet soul. Then he gave an amazing Q & A before the screening with some wonderful facts on the making of The Shining. He sat amongst the audience and watched the film sitting alone. Every now and then I’d peek up at him and he would be so invested and sometimes smiling. You can tell he really has so much joy for film. If you haven’t seen Film Worker on Netflix...you must.

[@cinemaster9012]

Do not expect a Kubrick film to be another adaptation. Stephen King’s story is a slow burning tragedy, but Stanley Kubrick created his own masterpiece and stamped his image into every detail. His adaptation is full of cinematic puzzles that unlock the depths and psychology of horror. The film touches on generational themes of trauma and guilt, like the slaughter of Native Americans. With Jack, we follow the labyrinth of his psyche as it unravels into primordial anger and animosity.

In the scene they're watching Jack prepare for his scene, it then shows the part where he swings the axe at the door to break in. The camera swings along with the axe then stops dead on the right as the axe brutally hits and sticks in the door. Kubrick is making the viewer "feel" the axe. No amount of CGI tech or trendy non-linear speed adjustments can give a director this kind of creative power. You just have it or you don't. Kubrick had it.

Boyhood literally filmed over the growing up of a young boy into a college aged man. Flipping trippy to watch in real time.

[@HarrisonHollers]

Hoop Dreams was shot over a number of years. Fantastic movie! Best of the 90s according to Roger Ebert

[@kodiakthejuggler]

Similar to this is Ridley Scott's Bladerunner. I hear tell the crew and many in the production hated him because he was relentless and did whatever it took to get the shot he wanted. He'd go long over normal hours and would expect everyone else to do the same. The end product is still talked about today - and is a masterpiece, in my opinion - so there's something to be said about suffering for the art. But, like Kubrick, I doubt it could be done today in most circumstances.

[@LuckyBastardProd]

The crew hated him not because of perfectionism but because he wanted a British crew and he said American crews sucked. Not a good way to win people over.

The "making of the Shining" was shot mostly by Stanley Kubrick's wife, and not once does he ever call Shelly Duvall (not Shelly Long) names, but he was very abrupt with her when she didn't hear him yell action, for example.

[@user-jt5ot4hy9q]

Originally it was scripted that when Lord Bullington (Leon Vitali) leaves home that it would be the end of his character. After seeing his performance, Kubrick completely rewrote the ending, having him return to duel with Barry at the show's climax. It was a brilliant move, considering that the film's theme was always basically "what goes around, comes around."

[@LuckyBastardProd]

Duvall was an executive producer on one of Showtime’s first original series Faerie Tale Theater. It was widely acclaimed and she did very well with it since she owned it. It had many big name directors doing episodes; Roger Vadim, Tim Burton (some of his first work) Francis Ford Coppola just to name a few. So she didn’t just drop off the face of the earth after The Shinning she just stepped behind the camera.

Shelly Duvall was awesome in "Popeye." The entire cast was. The guy who played Brutus, Robin Williams, Uncle Martin (Mr Hand for you younguns, by young, I mean between forty and fifty. I have no reference for Ray Walston [?] For anyone younger than that.) Highly underrated film. It skipped the cartoons entirely and really captured the feel of the old strips. I used to read those strips to the kids. "Hey, grandpa! Is the new Popeye out yet?" "It is Sunday, is it not? Gather around, kids."

[@fictionmyth]

I'm fairly certain Mark Walberg was the actor who they surprised with an explosion during a take. He was supposed to go on a 3 count and Mark would react and cover himself but the director went on like 1.5 and it caused Mark to get hurt in some way or almost get hurt or something. I don't know if it's who she was referencing but he definitely has a similar story.

Michael Herr, who wrote "Dispatches," the best memoir of the Vietnam War, heavily revised the script of "Apocalypse Now." I think, when the film was near or perhaps already in the post-production phase of the project. Francis Coppola was unhappy with the episodic arc of the narrative. He thought it was a mess. So he hired Herr to write the voice-over of Captain Willard which effectively beaded the pearls of the scenes into a necklace and greatly improved the arc of the film. Also, the original script was written by Jon Milius. He went to UCLA Film School with George Lucas. Always a renegade and non-conformist right winger in the Hollywood community, his title was for the movie a sarcastic riff on the phrase "Peace Now" popular back then and adopted by the antiwar movement against the Vietnam War. But Coppola did keep intact the scene Milius wrote for the character Colonel Kilgore (" I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like victory.") in the final cut of the movie. Michael Herr also wrote much of the script for "Full Metal Jacket." Herr also wrote a great commemorative piece for Vanity Fair about working with Stanley Kubrick which later was published into a book. I served as a medical corpsman in Vietnam (31 May 1967 - 31 May 1968). Both "Apocalypse Now' and "Full Metal Jacket" are classic war movies about Vietnam. But my favorite still remains Oliver Stone's "Platoon." Stone just nailed it when it came to the grunts. But Kubrick's "Paths of Glory" i the best film I ever saw on war. Even though it was about the First World War on the Western Front with the French Army. The French were so enraged by the film that the government banned it being shown during its release in France in the late 1950s and it finally had an official release, I think, in the 1970s.

[@Theomite]

Kubrick did what he did because he didn't trust anyone. He was trying to make sure nobody could alter the final product from his intended vision. That's why he destroyed all his deleted scenes: because he knew the studio would try to put them back in. So he suspected that everyone would sabotage his work so he played all these mind games with them to keep them off-balance and exhausted. You don't have to do that to get good work, but it's also hard to get people to go to the place you need them to without having a visual reference to show them. Because of what Kubrick did to Shelley, you can show your actors the footage and say "can you go *here* ?" and they'll say "Whoa, I didn't know you wanted it *that* high. No wonder I wasn't getting it. Uh, no, actually I can't."

Well Shining is also a critical film about the American Élites. Jack is actually pushed by the people (ghosts) inside the Hotel to make a sacrifice for them. They wanted him to start drinking again (the barman), then he kills a black man and try to kill his wife (she looks like a Native), so this guy should represent the American man brainwashed by the Élites for the massacre of minorities. At the end he didn't make it, but they give him anyway a prize (he is at the party of the 4th of July) cause he tried for the "country". The Hotel could represent America (built on a native cemetery). In all Kubrick's movies there is a symbolism against the élites, specially inside Eyes Wide Shut.

[@Russell_Huston]

1:38 Kirk Douglas worked for Kubrick twice, but pretty much everyone worked for Stanley only a single time. Maybe Stanley wanted different people all the time, and maybe most actors said, "Wow, that was quite an experience. Really glad I did it, but I would rather not go thorough that again." Sydney Pollack said that all that talk about Stanley doing dozens of takes, even close to a hundred times over on occasion, was real. Most people can't stand that.

Jim Carrey is a good example of someone who went from a normal actor then for a man on the moon suddenly became a full on method actor even thinking he actually was Andy Kaufman while meeting Kaufman’s family and stuff. Maybe that’s why after that movie we didn’t see Carrey in the spotlight for quite a while
