He was nervous because he knew that he was sending a secret message. He was , at the time filming "eyes wide shut" which depicted the secret societies of the elite (and their perverted lifestyle). The movie actually was severely modified cutting a lot of revealing things. Stanley clearly stated the tale of Icarus. Trying to fly too high. Risking it in a way. He was himself risking it. Bothering those on the top. He, of course died of a heart attack (never ever having heart problems before) before the film was released. He knew he was , in a way, Icarus

Why? When it's your time to go, it's time to go. He lived a lot of life. Death is not a punishment, it is rewarding when you have lived and contributed so much. There was nothing more for him to do. He made his mark in history. Plus he was sick. Death alleviated all the pain he had in his later life.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

It's really surprising hearing him say in a mid-1960's interview that when he graduated high school his grade point average was so bad he would never get admitted into any collage, never even tried. He just went from still photagraphy to film-making in his adult life. Most film directors seem to come from formerly being actors, film-editors, screenwriters, assistant directors and such. Some go right to film school with the sole intent of being a motion picture director. But I never known of one who started off first as a still photagrapher. Maybe that's what made him so visually unique with his films. Spielberg summed it up when he said that nobody crafted a film like Kubrick.

This speech strangely brought to mind the quotes of two films of Kubrick, on Icarus, 'The Killing': "There are some things, my dear Fisher, which bear not much looking into. You have undoubtedly heard of the Siberian goatherd who tried to discover the true nature of the sun; he stared up at the heavenly body until it made him blind". Of the fortune of Griffith the fortune of 'Barry Lyndon': “Barry was born clever enough at gaining a fortune, but incapable of keeping one. For the qualities and energies which lead a man to achieve the first are often the very cause of his ruin in the latter case.”

[@rancosteel]

Master of cinema! I feel robbed we never got to see Kubrick's Napoleon movie, and his version of A.I.

[@gpapa31]

You’re right about Napoleon. Had it not been for Waterloo, he would have done it. I’d rather see his take on Napoleon, which undoubtedly would have been a masterpiece, that what we got with Rod Steiger. And as much as I consider Barry Lyndon one of the best shot films in the history of cinema (a true technical masterpiece), I found it not engaging with my taste. As far as A.I. goes, it was his decision to give it to Spielberg because he felt himself wasn’t the right director for this type of project. He felt the project fitted Steven’s style more. Can’t argue with a master’s intuition. And at the end I believe Steven did an excellent job. Stanley would have loved his friend’s work.

Stanley Kubrick was literally, without question--one of the greatest filmmakers ever to live, to even pick up a camera. He should've garnered an Oscar every time the man so much as made a movie. He pretty much did get a nomination every time he made anything. When he so much as took a s--t. Well-deserved here. I expected them to give it to him for his swan song effort, EYES WIDE SHUT. You know, the posthumous win. Like the old joke about the gut that dies the day he won the lottery. Hey, Stanley deserved this Oscar. He deserved it every time he made a movie. Check out the visuals for 2001. They were breathtaking. They still are. The whole film was. Special-effects tend to look really dated rather quickly. Not the effects here. They still hold up. They still have a trippy sort of awe-inspiring majesty to them. Once again--like the whole film. Look, the Oscars are overrated. Even the winners say so. The most overrated ritual in Hollywood. It's all politics. Kubrick was in a class by himself. I say he still is... Look, F-the Oscars. He won Best Filmmaker for everything else. Because he was...

[@lowneykids7888]

Kind of amazing to watch this considering that half the reason film schools now days show you D.W. Griffith movies is to crap all over who he was as a person. Kubrick is simply stating the truth: Griffith was a technical and artistic genius, regardless of one's own political views. Morons now days would never be able to make this distinction and Kubrick would surely be cancelled if he even attempted to make this speech if he were alive today.

[@chickenflavor9880]

Wow imagine teaching politics instead of the actual subject you go to learn at film school.

[@Kevon420]

Most film studies cover Griffith still and nothing about this speech would get Kubrick “cancelled”. The DW Griffith Award’s name was changed in 1999, Kubrick was awarded it in 1996. Just because Griffith made one film that was very racist and almost too naive to believe at times, it was still an innovative epic and there was more to him than his one massive hit he’s known for. He was a great artist. As for “politics” in film, politics are a part of films, filmmaking, and filmmakers as anything else is. To ignore that would be ignoring the truth of how and why films are made and what shapes the people who make them. Griffith’s father was a civil war veteran who told young Dave all about the war, I’m sure many of his fathers stories were exaggerated or whatever, but regardless it made the impact it did. Orson Welles was raised by a feminist mother and a globetrotting playboy father, it goes on and on. The political landscapes of those lives and outcomes surely shaped the films they made.

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

That was an actor, not Kubrick

[@eargasm1072]

I can understand the racism mongers getting all bent out of shape by even the mention of "Birth of a Nation", but then they removed a statue from his other film "Intolerance" over in Hollyhood which is quite stupid, considering that film that displayed man's intolerance towards one another throughout the world in different historical periods, with no hint of "racism". People need to be able to separate the work, the "art" from the person. It's pretty absurd

[@xandrafuhrer]

Griffith was responsible for both formalizing the language of cinema and inciting a 30 year renaissance for the KKK. It isn't difficult to prove that the man was either evil or (beyond his technical ingenuity) a complete idiot; 'Intolerance', however admirable, can't possibly justify what he did. I've never understood how someone can value a single person's artistic legacy over the life and well-being of millions, value a name over the most fundamental of human justices. The inclusion of a moral framework around 'Birth of a Nation' in film schools is long fucking overdue necessity. See Kavon's comment for an explanation on how it isn't anything specific to Griffith, either--good criticism has and will always take a work of art in the context of its creator, moral ecosystem, and political atmosphere. Weighing the technical advancement of art over actual human life is a pretty hollow point of view, and the fact that you consider analyzing the ethics of one of the most racist movies ever made is "too political" saddens me. Narrative cinema will always have to reckon with the darkness at the center of its genesis; how filmmakers choose to go through with that reckoning is what has me hopeful for the art form's future.
