Favourite director...and one of my favourite KZbin channels! 💯😍

[@barrywoodfilms]

I wish you mentioned that Kubrik worked with very good material to start with. All the novels were really really good and he even managed to push them further beyond belief, visually and also with sounddesign.

[@valpergalit]

Screenprism on a scene: “As if Jack’s demonic point of view is looking up from Hell itself.” Kubrick actually creating scene: “Let’s try this... Yeah that’ll be good.”

[@h.ar.2937]

Hahaha exactly that’s what I was thinking. My guess is since it wasn’t intentional, I think it is intuitive. It just felt right to Kubrick when he saw that angle, he just didn’t think too much about why it felt right

[@jakobvanklinken]

@@h.ar.2937 That would really surprise me. From what I've heard about Kubrick he was more the super intentional planning type, rather than off the cuff

[@h.ar.2937]

@@jakobvanklinken In the particular scene the original comment was talking about, you can see BTS footage of the exact moment Kubrick decided to choose that POV - and from that context it ‘seemed’ like it was on the fly. Who knows though, we could be missing context. I was trying to articulate that for a seasoned filmmaker like Kubrick, some things are probably intuitive because of how much thought went into pre-production etc. and yes you’re right! He is careful and very picky about everything (in a good way)

[@h.ar.2937]

@@jakobvanklinken Oh also, you can see him change the script on the fly during filming of The Shining (again BTS footage)

[@theophilus749]

This video makes a point that many directors nowadays seem to have forgotten: the cinematography is only any good to the extent that it contributes to the story being told or the idea being conveyed. I see too many films these days in which the story seems almost put on hold for a few tedious seconds while the cinematographer is, so to speak, 'given his go' in creating a pretty image. Such an approach is damnable and entirely un-cinematic. At one time it would never have been countenanced by almost any director, even the most mediocre. Kubrick is simply a shiningly inventive and imaginative example of the way it should be.

[@Beforethecredits]

Kubrick is definitely one of my Top 2 Directors, Hitchcock being the other one. I look forward to seeing what you think made Kubrick Kubrick. I have actually been wanting to put together a video essay recently to explain my own personal love for him. I didn't always love his work, when I was younger I didn't connect with it the way I do now. Thanks for the new video.

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Before The Credits I've rewatched more Hitchcock so I guess hitch cock wins,,,, Kubrick is something else I feel,....

[@truthseek3017]

Hanniffy Dinn for sure, Kubrick was a genius, i'd love to know what fueled him.

[@HotStrange]

Before The Credits love Kubrick. My top 3 would probably be Lynch, Altman, and Kubrick.

[@daveygivens735]

Discovering Kubrick is like putting together a puzzle. As a kid, I liked 2001 because it was spacey, but I didn't get the context. I liked Spartacus because it was action-oriented....but i didn't get the context. The Shining might have been the turning point when you start to see deeper into Kubrick's mind. Then a light goes off and you begin to appreciate his genius, and how all his works, while being so incredibly unique can at once present similar themes of humanity. Now I'll watch one just to see where and how he applies red and blue lights =p

[@saketadarsh7606]

Nolan is better

[@alienboy1322]

Kubrick is a director every budding filmmaker should study.

[@WayneMcAuliffe]

[@alexfzg9936]

[@curiousworld7912]

There are - and have been - many fantastic film makers, beginning with the silent era; but only a handful of true artists in the genre. Kubrick was one of these. He, like Welles, taught us to look at life through art in different ways; and, not always in comfortable ways, either, as your analysis so aptly shows.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

I love Kubrick's aesthetic in films, thanks for the amazing video, ScreenPrism crew! Please cover David Fincher at some point!

[@tims.2717]

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This a war room!!" Oh, the irony of that statement! Lol

[@DCMarvelMultiverse]

The blunt and the subtle. The primal and the prurient. The profound in the profane. The verbal by way of the visual. The depth via the shallow. Kubrick.

[@deckofcards87]

You know it's a Kubrick film if: you really disliked one of his movies, (Eyes Wide Shut) and then years later after having read some books you re-vist the movie a second or third time and realize you just didn't fucking get it (Eyes Wide Shut).

Honestly last year, because of my ex, i really came to appreciate film as an art form and have been trying to learn a little more. Channels like yours make me appreciate film all the more. Great content and much appreciated

[@AlmostEthical]

Thanks for the super informative video. You mentioned that Kubrick was into Nietzsche, but his overall idea of making life work in an indifferent world is classic Camus. On a different note, I find Kubick's visuals tend to look softened and airbrushed. David Lynch has used this soft focus at times too, also presenting extreme darkness with beauty. Kubrick and Lynch had a good relationship and were interested in each others' work.

Disappointed that Paths of Glory of The Killing weren't talked about as much. The Killing is pretty much the original Reservoir Dogs, and Paths of Glory is probably the greatest war film of all time. People tend to overlook these films but I think they're just as good if not better than Kubrick's later work. Great video, though.

[@arizonaFIREent]

Phil Michaels Tarantino damn near admitted to ripping off "The Killing"... such an underrated movie

[@krautgazer]

That was actually Hammer's curse of Frankenstein, not the mummy. Easy mistake to make, considering they both started Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. So did Horror of Dracula.

I noticed that as well. Yes, Christopher Lee is the Frankenstein monster in that clip, with nice fresh clean band-aids. His Mummy appeared two years later, with dirty nasty smelly old band-aids, and had no unmasking scene.

Clavius is a crater on the moon

[@jmchez]

I never would have thought that some people thought that he was referring to a planet. Even, if you didn't know it was a crater, he was shown going to the Moon! Whoever thought it was a planet can't understand things in context and should not be watching a Kubrick film.

[@WayneMcAuliffe]

@@jmchez Like a lot of 'cinema journalist/critics' they probably watched the movie only while periodically glancing up from their notetaking.

[@daydreamerb01]

Thanks for the video. It's a very eloquent analysis of Kubrick's work. I enjoyed it very much.

[@jmchez]

First, excellent video as always. However, I've looked and can't see a review of of yours for "Her". How "Her" and "Black Mirror" see and differ about digital consciousness is something that I've love to see you discuss. It's a big theme; you could include "2001" and "Ex-machina", and very much the TV shows of Jonathan Nolan, "Westworld" and "Person of Interest".

[@IAMDIMITRI]

I always though that the bone was a tool of progress and a sign of evolution, matching cut simply showing us how far up in the sky we learned to trow our tools and to show how much time have passed... (Even if tools can be used as weapons too)

[@Real_SkyRipper]

unpopular opinion, Eyes wide shut is Kubrick second best movie. Great YT channel, instant sub.

[@den93050]

Stanley Kubrick really was amazing at his craft. I recently watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time after pushing it aside for admittedly too long and I was just stunned. It's such a twisted but amazing movie and it's been stuck with me for the last week. Specifically that scene where Alex is forced to watch footage of the Nazi regime overlayed with Beethoven actually made my jaw drop. Truly one of a kind and one of the best to ever do it.

[@JimmySquareBox]

I know it's Kubrick when I want every shot framed on my wall.

[@Kqualot]

In my opinion, The Shining is ultimately about nothing. I don't think there is any deeper meaning but Kubrick put so many things that may lead to the idea that the film is hiding something deeper that people will go insane trying to figure out what's actually going on. Kubrick was very aware of his public persona so he probably knew that people thought he helped fake the moon landing so he put those references into the film in order to make people go crazy with conspiracies. Kubrick is a genius.

[@jayv8068]

lol that actually makes so much sense , because we would be going crazy like Jack himself trying to find the conspiracies

[@augustmoon0004]

Zachary Levin No, The Shining had several well thought themes, however, I do think he added the space props and hints just to mess with moon landing conspiracy theory buffs.... just like adding a crushed red VW bug to mess with Stephen King.

[@tomnorton4277]

The Academy actually tried to give him a Razzie award for The Shining. Stanley fucking Kubrick was nominated for a Razzie for a movie that is undeniably a masterpiece! Just goes to show that Hollywood was (and still is considering all the SJW and Feminazi bullshit they keep screaming about) run by idiots.

[@kyleshiflet7932]

Who cares it's a peice of metal it Dosent mean anything

[@ChrisMaxfieldActs]

The Motion Picture Academy has nothing to do with The Golden Raspberry Awards at all, of course. It's just a parody of the Oscars with a focus on the worst films of the year.

[@holly03282008]

Same for Hitchcock. Hollywood was SO ASHAMED about this disrespectful snub they agreed behind closed doors to give the Thurberg award to Hitch. When he walked up to receive his "award" he said TWO words: "Thank You" and sat down. Hitch outsmarted, outclassed and outmaneuvered Hollywood that cemented HIS place in Cinema that will far survive Hollyweird. Bank it.

[@ThiagoSousa-us3xr]

1:20 It's funny how we interpetrate things. In the behind the scenes that i saw, Kubrick just sat on the floor and get that image, it was not like he was behind the table and trying to figure it out how represent hell in Jack. He just get the shot in the moment, by feeling. It's beautiful.
