I love the lighting in The Shining when Lloyd appears in the bar and Grady in the bathroom. It's lit so the lights behind them blind you from seeing their faces clearly. Also, the lighting in Eyes Wide Shut is amazing.

The guy that practically invented the rolling(or was it body-cam?) camera set-up for the shining does the commentary, he's pretty interesting.

I love Barry Lyndon to a degree that is probably not healthy edit: if your local art cinema puts it up, drop everything you have and go see it on the big screen, the cinematography is probably the best in history

When the Stanley Kubrick Archive exhibit (http://www.stanleykubrick.de/en/ausstellung-exhibition/) came here people would line up all day to see the sets and costumes, but on another floor with no lines at all they had set up all his cameras and lenses and storyboards and set photos and the script for Napoleon and his bookcases and file cabinets of research for everything. It was heaven. There was endless things to look at. I spent 2 hours pouring over it all, and huddling in a little group with all the other movie snobs and film students waiting for the guard to turn around so we could reach out and touch the camera that filmed Barry Lyndon.

iirc... Eyes wide shut was a a mashup of two movie ideas he had. one for a detective film and one for a sexual thriller. I think he realized he was running out of time & tried to make both in the same movie. He never got around to making a biopic about Napoleon or AI, because he was looking for the right person to cast as David. Then Spielberg took it and ground the concept into poo poo. at the start, the shots of ripper are low angle - and by the end they're high angle shots. subtle but effective

Dave Concepcion posted:I love Barry Lyndon to a degree that is probably not healthy I went to a midnight showing of The Shining at the SIFF Egyptian theater in Seattle a while back, it was incredible. Giant screen, fantastic sound system, it was an experience. While Clockwork Orange was my gateway drug and I adore 2001 and Full Metal Jacket, The Shining is my favorite of his works, and one of my favorite films, if not my favorite film period. The cinematography, direction, sound design and production are remarkable. I hate jump cut, loud noise, cheap scare horror - The Shining, to me, is perfectly executed psychological horror. It still creeps me out to this day, especially seeing it in the theater again. I need to see Eyes Wide Shut again, I remember liking it when it came out, but I don't remember a whole lot of it. Oh wow the Archives tour is currently in San Fransisco, that's seriously tempting.

2001 is what we should show aliens if they want to know about Earth art. Or maybe that would be a terrible idea, idfk

Most/all the films he made were adaptations of books.  The party castle from Eyes Wide Shut is the castle used as Downton Abbey, with much of the same furniture and paintings around.

I decided to pop in my Blu-Ray of Eyes Wide Shut. A few are obviously  so click with caution.     (I'm guessing the paintings in the Harford apartment are all by Christiane Kubrick since that's one of Kubrick's cats)  (I wish more movies were lit entirely by Christmas trees and lights)        (Another one of Christiane Kubrick's paintings. Interesting choice of a pregnant woman in the overdose scene)     Also, IMDB says that's Kubrick himself on the far left of this shot:

Scudworth posted:It's a straight up book adaptation. None of this happened. Eyes wide shut is kinda weird because it's like the opposite of clockwork orange, where the main character is left out of all the weird gross hosed up sex, then gets found out as a loser. I think there's even a shot that mimics the "Home" driveway from clockwork.

It's a hard to choose between The Shining, Paths of Glory, A Clockwork Orange and 2001 but if I had to, I'd say my favourite is The Shining but the best is probably 2001. I watch that movie once every 2 years or so and it is just next level film-making; just blows me away how ahead of the curve it was. The only space film where I had such strong sense of loneliness and impending horror was probably the first hour or so of Alien (right up to the facehugger leap and slow zoom out of the spaceship) and maybe Solaris. That said, I remember The Killing being awesome so it's due a re-watch. Full Metal Jacket has an exceptional first half but feels like the second doesn't really gel well, even though the sniper scene is loving awesome. Still haven't watched Barry Lyndon but going to get round to it this weekend. Only ever heard good things about it.

Paths of Glory is one of the only anti-war films that doesn't glorify it accidentally

I used to think 2001 was my favourite, but now that I've watched all of his films multiple times, Barry Lyndon actually edges it out. The ending "eyeball" sequence of 2001 is on the brink of being a bit too long (admittedly that might be intentional), but in the 3 hour running time of Barry Lyndon, there is not a second where I find myself bored.

People who didn't answer Barry Lyndon are people who are wrong about movies and, by being wrong about movies, show that they are probably wrong about other things in the world and in their own lives specifically. You could take stills from almost any scene in Barry Lyndon and frame them and put them in the hall of somebody's apartment and nobody would ever question that they were regular normal art while on their way back from the bathroom or something.

They're seriously almost 2 different stories entirely - in King's Jack Torrance is an everyman who has done bad things and is struggling with alcoholism but we still relate and we see him slowly broken down to a monster by the hotel whereas in Kubrick's dude is clearly nuts from the start and very little is made of the alcoholism.

I am pleasantly surprised by the positivity in this thread. Kubrick was literally a genius. There is one hour long interview he did in the seventies on YouTube. He was a very kind and humble guy. In the interview he talks about starting out in photography and film, as well as hustling chess games in NYC

I think it's great that he knew what he wanted and would just make those poo poo show actors do the take over and over and over until it was loving right.

Not only that, why settle for something that could be better when people will see it for the next century? It's also worth considering that the takes in The Shining that took so many tries were complex shots with a lot of dialogue, camera movement, and also reverse angles.

Yeah but he picked that specific angle on that specific hallway for a specific reason, it wasn't just cuz to get a shot of the twins. Dude probably intentionally did that for the optical effect. quote:he sent staff to Manhattan, where Eyes Wide Shut was set, in order to get the exact measurements of streets and locations for set pieces like newspaper racks. It's like when you're reading a piece of literature; the author/poet specifically picks one word versus another nothing is just coincidental (unless they are lovely authors).

With The Shining he took a story about drinking that also involved a creepy hotel and made it into a story about a creepy hotel that also involved drinking.
