Stanley Kubrick : The Lost Tapes (Full Documentary)

Twitter : / thepadtech
A short documentary about the early life and feature films of the great Stanley Kubrick, as narrated by himself. The narration was pulled from interviews that took place in 1966 with Jeremy Bernstein. Bernstein was writing a profile on the director and used these recordings as a chance to gather information. As it turns out the tapes themselves were a rare and incredibly interesting insight into the mind of Kubrick. Its also a glimpse at the director before his “masterpieces” such as ‘2001 : A Space Odyssey’ and ‘The Shining’ had been made. The films mentioned are as follows :
1968 - 2001: A Space Odyssey
1964 - Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
1962 - Lolita
1960 - Spartacus
1957 - Paths of Glory
1956 - The Killing
1955 - Killer's Kiss
1953 - Fear and Desire
1951 - Day of the Fight (Documentary short)
1951 - Flying Padre (Documentary short)

Dr. Strangelove & Paths of Glory are two of my favorite movies. Great work Mr. Kubrick. "Mandrake, have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water"? "No Jack". "I can't say that I have" "Vodka, that's what they drink isn't it Mandrake"? "Either pull yourself together & act like a man or we'll have to drag you out of here & in the end the results will be the same". "It's up to you".

[@Jacayrie]

I have a twin brother and we have an amazing bond. It's also spiritual. Idk what I would do if I lost him. We shared the same friends growing up and even my girl friends' parents would let him have sleepovers on the weekends bcuz they knew how connected twins are. We had separate friends too. I've been helping him raise his son since he was born for the past 13yrs. bcuz my nephew's mom never took care of him and only acted like a mother when there were family functions. My brother got full custody and she still hasn't gotten her shit together. My nephew and I are also very spiritually connected and we have a mother-son bond. I don't have kids of my own yet, but I'm glad I get to experience raising a child. ❤

[@Alanoffer]

I remember as a teenager Kubrick movies were the only ones we looked forward to watching when they came out , it was a big deal , I don’t think there has been another of his weight since then

[@1958]

The only problem with this is that it's not long enough (yeah, I know the source material stops at '68). It would be so very interesting to get insight how his attitudes changed between Lolita and Eyes Wide Shut. Short answer: a lot!

[@Dani68ABminus]

Not a personal criticism, just a gripe at what listening has turned into in general: Why, for the love of all that’s relevant in life, do youtubers find it appropriate to layer everything with music? Yours, while more subtle than some, is still too loud to not be distracting. I don’t care about production value. You don’t have to sell me anything. I just clicked because I wanted to listen to Kubrick. That’s it. Instead, I regretfully leave a few minutes in because the background music has turned into the equivalent of one single cicada when you’re trying to sleep.

Really could do without the background music.

[@reginaldbraithewaite5833]

One reason for the music might be this: Casey didn't want people to appropriate the raw recordings. Another might be that many would have found the short to be too dry without it. Given his own choices for film music, I doubt Kubrick would have liked Casey's choices. Still, it's great to hear the taped interviews and see the home movies and personal photographs. I don't have any reason to complain about free access to those resources. Thanks, JC.

Kubrick makes amazing photography and most of his movies got that and long takes , hypnotic just like Lynch . They both create out worldy athmosphere with amazing photography , shadows and lights . I wish Kubrick could of directed most of the classics we see just to see and compare to other directors vision ...i can only imagine what Star Wars would of feel and looked like by Kubrick , or can you imagine Batman by Kubrick ? O.o wow !! Two of these directors movies are in my top five list ; ''The Shining'' by Kubrick & ''Elephant man'' by Lynch . ps: i still cant believe Stephen King for not liking the Kubrick version of his book ...its a masterpiece !?

what side hustles did Stanley have? what is Lolita telling you about Stanley ? -(Peter Sellers is Stanley). how did Stanley regret about his “deal”?

[@leighfoulkes7297]

Am I the only one who didn't see "Lolita" as erotic (the book)? Am I the only one who saw it as disturbing? Am I the only one that saw the narrator as a crazy lying SOB, who made an innocent girl into a diabolical evil slut? I thought she was taken by child protection services and he manifested a delusional story that some actor took her. I guess I just didn't believe one word of the Narrator and thought he was misleading the audience to make himself out to be innocent.

[@reginaldbraithewaite5833]

*Lolita* uses a technique that critics and academics refer to as the *unreliable narrator*. Yes, the novel was meant to be disturbing and Nabokov, the author, had a history of creating narrators who were meant to be contemptuous at best. Humbert Humbert (whose name is irritating for a reason) begins his story by telling you that he's spent time in an insane asylum, which is the reader's first clue that everything he says is suspect. In nearly every recounting, the main character is deluded or lying and it's up to you to ferret out the truth from things that he observes but doesn't see.

[@reginaldbraithewaite5833]

+Travis Burns: I would argue that Kubrick carefully avoids being moral in the Dickensian sense, which is why his protagonists aren't the usual Hollywood stand-ins for our most optimistic image of ourselves. Every filmmaker tries to create likable characters; SK has less cliche things to do, such as depict the full range of human behavior without underscoring how every action aligns with the Golden Rule. Not every protagonist has to be Jesus, David Copperfield or Schindler. As obsessed with saintliness as he is in The Idiot, Dostoyevsky carefully includes the total range of behavior in that novel. The high points of the story aren't in Prince Myshkin's inner monologues on bliss and righteousness. They're in the chamber music of odd characters colliding and interacting as the reader's perspective shifts and the narrative hurtles through time. 1

While disturbing, the girl was already mentally damaged with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and manipulated Humbert for her own means. She was the sexual aggressor.
