Kubrick' brilliance was so good the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences never understood his influence in film. Maybe because a Kubrick film is not spoon fed mush as Hollywood loves to pump out and self award.

[@ingvarhallstrom2306]

There's a story he lost a nomination for best make up in 2001 going to Planet of the Apes because the Academy didn't realize there were people in costumes playing the prehistoric ape-men and not real animals.

[@leokimvideo]

@@ingvarhallstrom2306 Not surprised. Sadly The Academy is a collection of previous winners and 'click crowd'. 2001 ASO only won Best Visual Effects. It honestly should have cleaned up every award considering how groundbreaking the film was. Sci Fi films always struggle at the Oscars and one major aspect to a win in any category is has the film broken new ground in film making. Be it technology, story telling, film craft, directing, sound. And it gets back to the old crowd who are voting for all their Hollwood mates. The BAFTA's were kinder to the film, they seemed to understand how groundbreaking it was in many ways. Even the solo Oscar for Best visual effects for 2001 really goes to the leader of the VFX team. I can only assume Kubric was in total control of the VFX for him to be awarded the Oscar. Very unusual for the Director to win an Oscar for VFX. Kubrick must have upset the Hollywood 'click' to be so avoided in awards.

Impeccable is a great word to describe his filmmaking

[@jackm4457]

I disagree with the point that Kubrick always presented "crisp and clear story telling." Barry Lyndon was hardly "crisp." In fact, when I first saw it in the theater, 45 years ago, my date kept on asking to leave. (I broke up with her a week later. ) But, over time, I now appreciate Barry Lyndon as a true masterpiece. That's the thing about Kubrick movies -- they may not always get you on first viewing, but they'll draw you back again and again, until you're hooked. I saw 2001, again, in theater, at the age of 16, and thought it boring. But re-watched a dozen years later, on VHS, and was mesmerized. Clockwork Orange was repulsive to many on first viewing, but a lot of them came back. Kubrick films are like Picassos -- they might jar your sensibilities, at first, but their depth and attempt at truth convert you.

[@robvangessel3766]

Alongside Kubrick and Bunuel, Hitch is my 3rd obsession. Which is interesting, because the 2 directors were opposite in their approach to their material. Kubrick liked to do as many retakes as possible, until something "new and different" happened - to let his subject grow organically. Coppola works that way too. But Hitchcock - who had a background in both engineering and graphic arts - liked doing all his "filmmaking" before any cameras rolled. He'd buy the rights to a short story, usually out of his own pocket; pare it down to the bare bones so that he could write a treatment with his own themes and motifs around it, storyboard some early ideas, hire a writer with whom he'd work closely throughout the development process (occasionally rewriting the dialog himself, as he did with LIFEBOAT), and then storyboard every single shot and sequence, so there'd be next to NOTHING left on the editing room floor. By the time shooting started, he knew everything that was going to happen.

That’s the first time I heard about Kubrick’s use of green to signify death. That does shed light on the presence of the green space helmet in 2001. The scene where Dave is on his way to disconnect HAL is the only time green is seen on the spacecraft. There were no green spacesuits in the ready room. Where did he get that helmet? On a basic level as the plot moves forward, the jarring contrast of the green helmet and red suit add tension to the scene as a reminder of the harrowing experience he just went through by not having a helmet in the pod. The symbolism of the color green adds even another layer to the movie.

Hey! So I’m studying 5 different yet similar filmmakers to try and see which parts of each I can mix together, combined with my current style, to see what new and interesting styles I can create! Two filmmakers specifically are Stanley Kubrick and Wes Anderson! They both have similar techniques when you look at them on paper: symmetry, bold colors, and exaggerated worlds. But there’s still elements of both directors that if you know them, you’ll immediately know which film is by which director! I think it might be that Anderson seems to use mostly character focused concepts, while Kubrick is more of a grand conceptual ideas type of director. But even then, those aren’t exclusive to either director! I genuinely can’t seem to pin down in words what makes a Kubrick film a Kubrick film, and an Anderson film an Anderson film, in relation to each other! They sound like they’re similar directors, but you KNOW they’re almost anything BUT similar outside of superficial aspects like symmetrical shots, bold colors, etc. I think it’s just HOW they USE their tools to tell their stories! But that being said, I want to figure out how to merge these two specific directors’ styles together in my own way…?

Without Sergio Leone, S. Packinpah, Orson Welles, D.W.Griffith and D. Arbus would we have a Kubrick?

[@Neocleese]

@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 Yes we would!

I really love these, so thank you! Could you also make one on Hitchcock's directing style?

[@StudioBinder]

He's definitely in the pipeline!

[@StevenAlvarez]

i see 'Kubrick' i click, no questions

Kubrickian power 😂

Imagine if we had that 24 mints of unseen footage of Kubrick's eyes wide shut 🙏🏽

This is amazing information. Subscribed. The Story and Sound Design elements really stick out. As well as the use of irony. These are things I included in my videos unconsciously in places. I've published my 4th video now, am working on my 5th one and I intend to incorporate more of these ideas - and to do so consciously in addition to unconsciously. Thanks also for the resource links, am looking forward to reading all of the papers and articles. Will probably need your platform in the future when my channel gets bigger. Thanks!

I have never ever watched a great timeless films as a Stanley Kubrick films

[@StudioBinder]

Part of the Kubrickian quality

[@hannibalcosta]

One could point out that classic directors are missing from that list: Woody Allen and his mentor, Federico Fellini (Amarcord). It would also be good to consider the masterpiece of Elem Klimov (Come and See), Andrei Tarkovski, Akira Kurosawa, Wim Wenders, Roberto Rosselini, Sergio Leone, and, finally, the father of all of them: Sergei Eisenstein.

[@tenzinmutuzaki8228]

Kurosawa is amazing.

[@brunobaw657]

The ending of Paths of glory (the soldiers in the bar with the singer and Kirk Douglas moving) is a very good example for the music section.

I'm pretty sure the reason it goes silent when dr pool's air is severed is because that's what would actually happen if all the air in your suit escaped. Sound doesn't travel in the vacuum of space so it would be completely silent. It wasn't really a 'sound desgin' choice it was more of a 'realism' choice.

[@kojikicklighter371]

The only thing fascinating about MOST of Kubrick's movies, is that people are so fascinated with them.

[@black_hood7]

Please upload an episode on Satyajit Ray's directing style.

[@ForeignPixel]

Or, the reason why Kubrik's style is so iconic is that he found his own. So the best way to look like Kubrik is, perhaps, to find your own style?..

[@tesconstamylo]

He is my favourite 😻 He is timeless! He is epic I feel blessed that the first film that I saw was space Odyssey, even on TV. The dancing space station is still haunting me when I daydream He changed sci fiction cinematography!

[@StudioBinder]

Kubrick was a visionary!

The greatest movie Kubrick ever made was the moon landing

My fav line" All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy " 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Iconic line!

[@Ocrilat]

I think part of the reason here is that Kubrick does leave certain things to the viewers interpretation, and it more or less lets you subconsciously personalize the film. Watching 'The Shining' is a different experience for a person like me who loves creepy, Lovecraftian horror (and sees the Hotel as some sort of cosmic, evil entity) than for someone who loves traditional spooky ghost stories, or family dramas, or whatever.

[@jamie7357]

This Kubrick guy is pretty good.

[@ErickGarcia-qs2yh]

Yes. The kid has potential.

[@StudioBinder]

he's a talented bloke for sure

[@mjolninja9358]

This Guy Kubrick might be the next big one

[@Largentina.]

@@mjolninja9358 I wouldn't go that far. He's too young to say for sure, but he's probably just a one hit wonder.

And that circular motif in 2001 makes the monolith feel all the more alien and strange.

[@mandolindleyroadshow706]

Where are The Killing, Paths of Glory, Lolita and Barry Lyndon? Not even a nod to those classics.

[@kenkannon5630]

What really stood out for me is Kubrick's voice did not sound as I expected

[@StudioBinder]

What did you expect?

[@riccardodirenzoofficial]

Stanley Kubrick is the Michelangelo of the Cinema

[@StudioBinder]

Nice comparison
