I'm glad to see so many people citing Kubrick as their inspiration, calling him a genius, etc... I've been talking to too many people saying Tarantino is a god, praising other film directors like Nolan like a deity, and so on. They're good at their craft, but nothing as groundbreaking as Kubrick!
@@nobad6843they’re both great film makers at the top of their game..world class..but like all film makers standing on the shoulders of giants and Kubrick was a giant among giants..
There is no film like a Stanley Kubrick film. When you see his films, it's like experiencing a new medium of art. Truly. The imagery, the vivid colors, the direction, the camera work. It is a true genuine shame that he died.
@@victorparedes4863 No, as a matter of fact, I'm embarrassed for him. There's nothing more shameful on a man than death. I certainly didn't see it coming. lol
STANLEY RECEIVED A LOT OF MONEY FROM NASA IN 1960. HE IS AN FRAUD. AMERICA NEVER GOES TO THE MOON STANLEY MADE A FAKE MOON VIDEO FOR NASA. BECAUSE THE VAN ALLEN BELT WrapS AROUND THE EARTH. NO LIVING ORGANISM CAN PASS THAT GENERATION. NO METAL CAN ISOLATE THAT BELT.
@@gavinbrando8255 It's really weird how people treat his death as some untimely tragedy. He'd been making movies since the early 50s -- he had one of the fullest careers of any filmmaker, and his final film became one of his most beloved. Sure, a heart attack is always gonna be sad, but the dude was 70 years old.
***** The question is: "can you make a Kubrick film in this day and age?" I don't think you can. No corporate studio head would stand for it. Just like no studio could stand a Sam Peckinpah or his type of film making. I wouldn't want to be "another Kubrick"; I would want to establish MY type of film making.
***** Him, Nolan, Tarantino are my favorites and the reason I want to be a director, as well. Their films are beyond phenomenal and just take you to a different place and no matter how disturbing, confusing or controversial they may be, they are always amazing
Back in the 80s, when just a teen, access to great films wasn’t so ubiquitous as today - that is until the revolution of VHS rentals. A friend and I got together and watched Kubrick’s masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was never the same. Now there were “movies” and then there were “films.” I eventually collected every single Kubrick film made, including his earliest ones. I must’ve watched each one over a few dozen times. Each repeated viewing was always as interesting as the first time. Decades later, I still feel the same.
Eyes wide shut has become one of my favorite films.. I love it as a piece of art. It's truly one of the most haunting films I've ever watched. The thing that made Kubrick the best was that he wasn't trying to be an original, he just was an original. The sad fact is we live in a world where posers and cheap immitation is rewarded and originals are often buried by the plastic as they try to control their creative impulses. It's painful yet beautiful.
"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling." - Stanley Kubrick -
I tremendously enjoy this upload, of this documentary on the legend of one of the all time greatest directors in cinema history. Thank you Chase Beasley.

With regards to Eyes Wide Shut, I had a boss in London who rubbed shoulders with high society in the 70's and 80's. In 1992, he told me a story, of how he ended up this party which turned into some type of ritual. There were people in robes chanting. He freaked out and left.
Kubrick took it to the next level because he had the creative spark that seems to be lacking in most of film makers today. There are a few exceptions but they could never achieve that high level of creativity and quality that only Kubrick could do with a movie camera, good script, and the process of directing.
I've long felt that the unique originality of Stanley Kubrick's place amongst the great directors of his age is that he remained largely independent and was not owned by any film studio/corporation. While the term "recluse" is largely seen as someone that is considered a disturbed lost soul; he was anything but that. His integrity of discipline and wish to choose time with family and friends over yet another film project, remains for me the most telling point of his enduring legacy. Similar to Daniel Day Lewis, who didn't have to take on an infinite amount of rolls to make a name for himself, neither did Stanley Kubrick need to keep the reels rolling to do the same.
Thank you so much for sharing the pure magic of this SINGULAR...VISIONARY...FILMMAKER...What's that?...My eyes?...Oh, must have got something in them:)
I couldn't help but feel very sad at the end of this documentary about a man that changed cinema forever and is my personal favourite filmmaker and he always will be. Such an incredible man and his films were so far ahead of there time. Stanley will continue to inspire generations of aspiring filmmakers including myself. Thank you for your truly ground breaking films Stanley they hold a very special place in my life which was changed forever when I started seeing them.
All his movies are holiday for eyes Just look a year that movie is made and everything will be clear Paths of glory is masterpiece made 1957 Unbelievable
Every film he ever made was an Epic in its own genre.He is up there with Lean as a wide screen Film Maker and all the other stuff aswell.It’s a tragic shame he couldn’t make all the Films he spent half of his life researching because of circumstance and the studio’s.
True, I've only seen Barry Lyndon once, but I loved it then. If some critics think its cinematography is better than Clockwork and 2001, I'll definitely watch it again.
Personally, as much as I have respect for Stanley Kubrick, his approach to perfectionism in moviemaking had ended up becoming an obsession for him. It's no wonder that NOT everyone wanted to work with him for years. After all, Shelley Duvall was an example of what Kubrick did in the making of "The Shining" in 1980 and it even made her such an exhausted performer as a result.
@@DREADL Like what, for example? After all, Kubrick should have learned to be more compassionate towards actors and crew members on his films but his perfectionism had simply got in the way.
The soundtrack of the film is by composer and musician Jocelyn Pook, who had previously worked with Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut. As far as the last song I will try to find the exact name of it on the end credits
Dinastía Chow Fan Really, how fucking amazing is that movie!! And especially since it came out before any sort of computerized graphics. That movie looks amazing by todays standards- let alone when it was made.
Absolutely right-on! Nuttin' against Cruise, but Stanleys widow Christina would be a fine choice and voice for narration. And Thanks Stanley, for your infinite universial IMAGINATION and DRIVE!!!
I remember me an' a fren' leavin' outta' Clockwerk Orange feeling inspired an' ripping down the highway at full throttle, laughing like madmen. Fortunately we were in a VW and could only do 80 miles per hour. Art is a dangerous medium. Kubrick lives!
Full Metal Jacket and my cousin recruited me into the Marine Corp. Nobody has ever overshadowed him in my book. Full Metal Jacket is the only Vietnam movie I still watch. Sorrry Oliver.
You call KUBRICK just “Outstanding” ?? He is Top English speaking director, and One of the Best filmmakers of All Times! He is among Bach, Shostakovich, Wagner, but in Cinema.✌️🎩
We were young and dumb. I am no longer young and hopefully not quite as dumb. I appreciate Kubrick for his direction and his cinematography and he's from my old "hood", da Bronx.
well, we all feel so enlightened now having that explained to us by a man so utterly lacking any 'pretentions'. (slow clap echoing in an empty theatre)
The Shining may not be as influential, but I think its cinematography is the most complex of all his films. The colors in the Outlook Hotel are intensely interesting, and the fact that it's one of the first movies to have Steadicam doesn't stop it from using the technology masterfully for elaborate shots. As a hidden detail, the Outlook has numerous instances of impossible architecture (there's a UA-cam video showing them) to disorientate the viewer. I'd put the Shining up there with his best.
Stephen Fry quote! Awesome! Haven't even seen the doc all the way through yet...but I just had to let you know my feelings.... It seems to me that Mr Kubrick was... "Like a steam engine in trousers who placed himself miles away from the nearest lemon" (paraphrasing the Rev Sidney Smith as quoted in Stephen Fry's auotbiography Moab is my washpot. Dunno how much of a Fry fanatic you are but if you haven't read it, its unsurprisingly a great read!)
I've just recently discovered Kubrick and he is the most frustrating director ever! Yet, it's clear that in that frustration lies the genius. That's a hellavu feat!
I've heard so many different things about EWS. I admit I've only watched the middle, so I missed a lot, but from what I saw there were aspects that were good. And I've also heard he actually really liked it. Maybe he hated the first cut, but he was always that kind of man: nothing was good enough. Still, Scorsese called it one of his favorite movies of the 90s. Maybe Scorsese isn't infallible either, but he sure knows movies. Even some of SKs best were flawed somewhat, like FMJ.
Everytime I watch a tv/film set in space and I hear sound, I wonder why Kubrick (apart from Whdedon in Firefly/Serenity) is the only one who got it right in 2001. God it's annoying hearing sounds in space.
I'm glad to see so many people citing Kubrick as their inspiration, calling him a genius, etc... I've been talking to too many people saying Tarantino is a god, praising other film directors like Nolan like a deity, and so on. They're good at their craft, but nothing as groundbreaking as Kubrick!

The best director that has ever lived. It's because of Stanley Kubrick that I'am making films or want to be part of the industry as a director.

its a bag of plop
The sad fact is they killed him because of that film...
Him and the Coen brothers.... Favorite directors ever.
The greatest. Full stop. And this documentary is one of the best I've ever seen on a director.
This documentary brought tears to my eyes.
What i like is that the movies were diverse. The subjects were different.
"Anyone who has ever been privileged to direct a film also knows that, although it can be like trying to write 'War and Peace' in a bumper car in an amusement park, when you finally get it right there are not many joys in life that can equal the feeling." - Stanley Kubrick -
Privilege is not a verb
@sharpskilz are you illiterate, or trying to be deep? Both are bad
The late, great Mr. Pollack clearly respected the late, great Kubrick and even received a cameo in Stanley’s last film 🎬”Eyes Wide Shut” 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It was more than a cameo.
I tremendously enjoy this upload, of this documentary on the legend of one of the all time greatest directors in cinema history. Thank you Chase Beasley.
Thanks for posting this fascinating documentary about the greatest film director who ever lived.
Wonderful Programme, just wonderful, always great to watch something on one of the greatest artists ever.
Fantastic documentary with 🎬footage I have never seen before 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️

Thanks for posting this great documentary.
Stanley Kubrick was an inspirational human being. I absolutely enjoyed this documentary, on many levels.
This documentary is such a fitting tribute, a great piece of work in its own right.
I absolutely love this director. Its so easy to recognize a Kubrick film because he's the only director what that style
With regards to Eyes Wide Shut, I had a boss in London who rubbed shoulders with high society in the 70's and 80's. In 1992, he told me a story, of how he ended up this party which turned into some type of ritual. There were people in robes chanting. He freaked out and left.
I couldn’t say that Stanley is the best but he had an eye that was unique and special.
Kubrick took it to the next level because he had the creative spark that seems to be lacking in most of film makers today. There are a few exceptions but they could never achieve that high level of creativity and quality that only Kubrick could do with a movie camera, good script, and the process of directing.
One of my all-time favorite documentaries.
The greatest movie maker of all time!!! Such a genius in so many ways..
Just like Kubricks movies, this doc is one that has to be seen more than 1 time to be appreciated.
I've long felt that the unique originality of Stanley Kubrick's place amongst the great directors of his age is that he remained largely independent and was not owned by any film studio/corporation.

Thank you for this upload. Now i really must find that aforementioned lens documentary.
Thx for posting. Great genius deserves to be admired. This man gave his life for us, and the world will never know.
One of the best retorts I've even seen on UA-cam. Thank you for defending one of my favourite all time filmmakers! ^_^
I love all of the films of Stanley Kubrick and I find it said that there will never be another Kubrick film made.
Thank you so much for sharing the pure magic of this SINGULAR...VISIONARY...FILMMAKER...What's that?...My eyes?...Oh, must have got something in them:)

Big TY to Chase for this upload. Wonderful.
One of the most impressive and complete film director of all time.
I love studying his Stanley films. My fav director
A sage, a genius- a director whom took all the traits of man and sythesized them through film.
thanks for uploading
Still remember watching this for the first time in July 2001.
WHAT!? Paths of Glory and Dr. Stranglove are both masterpieces. You SHOULD be a fan of those because they are brilliant.
All his movies are holiday for eyes
Just look a year that movie is made and everything will be clear
Paths of glory is masterpiece made 1957
Unbelievable

I love all of those films but Full Metal Jacket is ridiculously good!
You wouldn't ever know all these movies were Kubrick if his name wasn't there. That's part of his genius.
Brilliant !
Montage says it all - genius. Thought Barry Lyndon remarkable.
2001 was the not only the greatest movie Kubeick it was the greatest movie ever made.

narcissism was the cherry on top.

This will make anyone interested in making movies.
