Stanley Kubrick will go down as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. No question. But why? What makes his filmmaking so outstanding? In this video essay, our task (and not an easy one) will be to dig inside Stanley Kubrick’s directing style to see if we can unlock the secrets within. From his scriptwriting, production design, color, cinematography, film editing, sound design, and film music - his mastery of all these filmmaking elements is legendary.
Stanley Kubrick only made 13 movies in his lifetime, but they are all considered classics. Not only the best movies in their respective genres but also some of the best movies ever made. Dr Strangelove, 2001 A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut, just a few iconic Stanley Kubrick movies you may have heard of. Despite their dissimilarities, behind each is filmmaking craftsmanship at its finest.
With regards to Kubrick’s scriptwriting, his consistent focus is the human experience, where big questions are left unanswered. In his production design, he will echo the prevailing themes of each film into the set design and costumes. Stanley Kubrick is often associated with his cinematography, including his wide shot compositions, practical lighting, and those iconic tracking shots. Any fan of color theory will have a field day with Kubrick’s colors, which sail past subtle and overwhelm us.
Kubrick doesn’t overly cut his films - his film editing is reserved and patient. On the soundtrack, Stanley Kubrick might go light on sound design but more than compensates with dramatic and enthralling film music.
In the world of film theory and film analysis, Stanley Kubrick has left us 13 amazing films that we will endlessly puzzle over, dissect, and interpret. In film directing, he has set the bar for directors everywhere. And while we never get another Stanley Kubrick movie, what he has given us will last forever.

19:42 How to Define "Kubrickian"
If u know kubrick mind of filmmaking then make film for yourself.. lol
Watching studio binder is like receiving a formal education.
Directing style of Steven Spielberg please?
Do Tarkovsky please!
Please add english subtitle of your voice over. Then it become more understandable
This guy never won a single Oscar for best director and yet he is the most influential filmmaker of all time. Truly amazing artist.
OF COURSE... THE WORK ITSELF IS THE REWARD, THE STATUE IS JUST A SOCIAL SYMBOL
He's overrated
Great director but I dare say Scorsese was better and more influential
Because Kubrick is overrated.
@@jmdi2703 because awards don’t go to the best, but mostly the most popular or the one who has the most influential friends..
8:48 Kubrick discovering one of the most iconic shots in horror cinema. "well that's not bad"
Couldn't have agreed more lol...
Discovering? This shots done before Kubrick.
What I personally love about Kubrick is that almost all his films feels like a reinvention of a genre. I watched this video like three times. Definitely one of the best film channels on youtube.
Agreed, every genre he touches he defines
His biggest regret was that he didn't change "the form" of cinema. 2001 came close, but not close enough for Kubrick. All he ever wanted was ro re-invent cinema....
Let's also thank him for confessing the fake moon landing.
If you enjoy Kubrick analysis videos I recommend rob Agers UA-cam channel collative learning he’s got some real in-depth theories about Kubricks films. Studio binder and collative learning are my favourite
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.
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.
@@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.
@@leokimvideo Kubrick and good movies do not need validation from "institutions"; the same goes for the Grammys, the Rock Hall, etc,
They're for giving people, who already get a lot of attention, more attention....
"Awards" are, really, superficial and meaningless....
Iam obsessed with his crisp and clear story telling and it's transition of simple plot to simple yet impeccable execution.
Impeccable is a great word to describe his filmmaking
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.
@@jackm4457 👍👍👍
I'm not sure if everyone would agree with the word "clear" when it comes to Kubrick's storytelling, but captivating, definitely.
@@jackm4457 she was not the one haha
His way of capturing light, color and mood was absolutely fantastic. Pure cinematic artistry.
Imagine the kind of movies he couldve made today
I was not able to wrap my head around the fact that '2001' was made in 1968 and i saw it 2018. 50 years later and it looked so fresh in terms of visual effects and cinematography.
Kubrik was a master of his craft.
I'm actually glad that he did all his films before CGI was a major thing. He delivered pure cinematic magic without a crutch that now seems essential even for smaller films.
I.A, Lord of the Rings and Napoleon they are all unfinished projects
Nikhil Nanda I saw it before the year ended 2019. And I still can’t get over how perfect that movie was it almost seems like a movie made in 2004.
Would've been interesting to hear his thoughts on today's film industry
Stanley Kubrick's visual story telling has no match. Highly symmetrical but at the same time dealing with contrasts and painting brilliantly woven stories.
Perfectly complimented his stories
werner herzog, roman polanski, quentin tarantino, alfred hitchcock, Darren Aronofsky, Federico_Fellini, martin scorsese, david lynch, jaques tati, david cronenberg, chris nolan, steven spielberg, george lucas, ridley scott, ingmar bergman and andrei tarkovsky are at least matches to kubricks "visual story telling". i personally think kubrick is way, WAY overrated and there are alot of better filmmakers like for example werner herzog out there.
@@rotesosse looks like you googled film directors and copy pasted those here
@@tharunkumar6694 ....Yeah.......Lol
yeah he's the best...i have learned so much from him...lynch too...and aronofsky...hey friend,i made this...maybe you'll like it ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
This the most underrated channel in UA-cam
Appreciate the support!
Its growing really fast and i love it
Definitely. Those guys are pros.
@@muhammadfauzan6864 Are you good,bad or ugly?
@@asokanp1186 My spirit is good, my body is bad, and my face is ugly. Help!
His knowledge on wide variety of subjects and how he is able to transform them into symbols and metaphors is what sets him apart for me atleast. His mastery of semiotics, psychology, colour theory, perspectives is genius. He is a really admirable person
So much to unpack in each of his films 👍
Yeah his work is thought provoking unlike most of the mindless drivel out now.
Kubrick was a psychologist who used film as a medium..
The sound design -- without a doubt -- did remind me of how scary the vacuum of space can be. :-O
Deafening silence
I am obsessed with your director's chair series, need more! And maybe next time explain Alfred Hitchcock's directing style?
He's definitely on the list!
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.
@@robvangessel3766 I was actually fascinated by Hitchcock's films and approach to storytelling, a true master!
Orson welles would be so cool ...if he dint have just one well-known movi
hey jojo are u ready for your next favorite youtube short?.....well here it is,please enjoy ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say, "About damn time."
Lol
haha you're definitely not the only one
@@StudioBinder do Alejandro González Iñárritu next
Luis Sierra yess !
Next director series Andrei Tarkovsky
Best of the best
Willy Fafok Yes yes yes please he’s my all time favourite
Also Sergei Eisenstein and Jean Luc Godard
Thanks for the suggestion!
There's an amazing (and long) video about Tarkovski by The Cinema Cartography.
I really love how Mr. Kubrick's films get better the more you watch them. You have a really great voice Mr StudioBinder. I can listen to you talk about films all day. Thanks so much for sharing on youtube.
Agreed, 2001 only got better with each viewing until now it's one of my favorites
@@StudioBinder 2001 is a movie people either love or hate. The one who love it, (including myself), spent hours discussing the rest of the movie after Bowman disconnects HAL, “Daisy, Daisy”, the journey, the 3rd monolith and the space-child. It's said "HAL" meant "Heuristically Programmed ALgorithmic Computer"...others IBM. Nevertheless, this is the only movie I could watch say, twice a year.
It is the kind of magic very few are able to achieve!
Such a phenomenal cinematographer and director. Every single element of his films is carefully and meticulously planned out. I believe his films will be studied for decades to come. And there are so many great ones.
While Kubrick's eye is incredible, he was the auetur (director.) Don't discount the efforts of his "go to" cinematographer, John Alcott. That dude shot 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), and The Shining (1980.) He was a true talent.
"You're so ugly you can be a modern-art masterpiece"
If I remember correctly, the actor ad-libbed most of his insults, and that makes it all the more funny and special
Stanley Kubrick is a legend one the best filmmakers I’ve ever seen.
One of the best we've all ever seen!
StudioBinder yeah of course that’s what I meant but personally he’s one of my favorites he’s up there with Alfred Hitchcock and then after those two would have to be Quinton Tarintino Robert Rodriguez have you guys done any videos about Robert Rodriguez films
@@BadKarma714 They probably haven't done one on Robert Rodriguez because they usually stick to talented filmmakers.
I actually didn't know who he was I had to search him but I now know how amazing he is and how he has changed the way we are in this world. a great inspiration and very appreciated how much time he put in the creation of everything he has produced 💯👌
HE SUCKS!! nah!...just kidding! 😊..he's the best....maybe you'll like this,i made it and it was much work...but it is strangely captivating ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
I've always thought the quality that defines Kubrick films was beauty; in particular, an incredibly beautiful series of visual images which were so beautiful, in fact, that you could stop the film almost anywhere, enlarge the still, frame it, and hang it on the wall.
Amazing Content! We want an episode about Jean-Luc Godard so badly! 😍🔥
JLG all time great my friend, unfortunate times we live in
I’m a HUGE fan of his!!!! He was great in Bloodsport!!!
@@rosario508 lmao
Contempt!!!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT !!.... I am not a film studies student but have loved and admired Stanley Kubrick films since Paths of Glory. Having spent some time as a photographer when young, later a teacher and now retired taken up oil painting found this video far exceeds other UA-cams in terms of teaching, quality and for fans of Stanley Kubrick a 'goal mine' of fascinating gems that I never knew about his films - thank you very much.
I'm impressed with the fact that every film he made had cultural significance, by blatantly pointing out the 'taboo' of the era. I find it mad alone, that he called out nazis working with the American government back in the 60's! Right in the thick of it, what balls! And it all turned out to be completely true
Dr. Strangelove is too good
@@StudioBinder terrifyingly good
My favorite filmmaker of all time! A perfect artist, great video on him as well!
Thanks! We had a great time making it
my fave of all time for sure...i just saw barry lyndon last year......i actually strongly disliked barry..but thought the film was brilliant...sad....and brilliant....barry lyndon was gorgeous....i made this myself...maybe you'll be able to appreciate it..it was just for fun..but it is actually very intriguing ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
You should make more of these videos, these are very interesting to watch, especially the way you divide your explanation with sections. Very smooth editing and stylish presentation.
Eyes wide shut is my favorite! Wish I could see the directors cut, but you know...
I think Kubrickian style is when the evironment and circumstances are as important as the character themselves.
Exactly... he's an expressionistic director. But very subtle about it.
You can watch a Kubrick film with no sound and still understand it.
Points!
Every film of his reaches an artistic pinnacle, in exploring themes from the "...origin and purpose of humanity itself."
It’s amazing the level of detail you go into your videos, thank you for teaching us so much!
Kubrick, apart from being a magnificent film director, is a big influence for directors like David Lynch, Spielberg or even Chris Nolan, I think that he based on 2001: A Space Odyssey to make the movie "Interstellar". Moreover, what makes Kubrick a great filmmaker is the way he repeats over and over again every take in his movies, so that's why I am someone else who's obsessed with his films.
well.....hopefully you'll be able to enjoy this short i made...if u have the time ..please enjoy ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
Lynch was inspire Kubrick in surreallism. One of Kubrick's fav. movies are Eraserhead. After that, he goes on his surreal trip with Shining... Not before...
The biggest error in Oscar's history is not even nominating 2001 for best picture
*sin
And Stanley Kubrick is the god of filmmakers. He made GOAT movies in every genre possible - Horror, Science Fiction, Crime, Comedy, Drama.
Kubrick was the filmmakers filmmaker, it makes you wonder what he would have thought of UA-cam and how heavily he would feature on it. Great channel and excellent production quality of your videos. Fantastic.
He was very progressive - I wonder if he would've made his own YT account 😮
@@StudioBinder now that would be great.
Took you long enough for Kubrick who is undoubtedly the greatest and most influential director and filmmaker to have ever lived.
haha he's not a guy we can rush talking about
@@StudioBinder
The wait was worth it!
yes..kubrick is amazing...but give me a chance too pal....i'm ok...right? ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
Great essay! From script, to editing, to narration... just great!
I admire him its so painful that he isn’t with us but his work is blessing to whole film industry.
Such a fine content put together, and covers the best director ever lived! Thank you guys!
What an incredible episode, this channel is still surprising me every day
Surprising people every Monday!
I may be on my own here but I would LOVE to see a series on Paul Thomas Anderson and David Lynch sometime in the future.
You're not alone.
Kubrick: crisp, intimidating... and colours like no films have. In one line: bizarre yet extremely interesting and captivating.
Eyes wide shut left me thinking about it long after the credits rolled. My favorite film from him.
Loved this. Bronx boy Kubrick was brilliant! In regards to his use of music in the opening of The Shining, it is the Dies Irae, 4 notes of music over 800 years old, used to express dread in over 120 films.
I’m happy this video came out. He is a legend
A Directing Styles series isn't complete without him
StudioBinder yep also could you do directing style of Alfred Hitchcock I would like to see that. Only if you can, thanks
The singing in the rain part was improvised by Malcolm McDowell
For all his control over the production, Kubrick frequently supported improv from his actors
I hurt my foot one time kicking the door going to class whilst singing.
Every movie directed by him surprises me every time I watch it.I somehow figured out diff sort of things whenever I watch a Kubrick film.I don't know how fast time went by when I have watched Barry Lyndon (his longer film)
His films are packed with so much detail I think we'll always be able to discover new things on repeated viewings
Great breakdown of what elements make Kubrick a cinematic genius
This video is very very well done. I don’t know how you do this! Very impressive! Studio binder gets better every time! Keep it up!
Thanks for the support!
The mirroring, the color, the angle, the movement. So much more.
18:11 that's a great editing.
We do our best 😀
If you can fake a moon landing, he deserves respect.
😂
Absolutely! ‘’The American people do not believe anything until they have seen it on television...’’ Richard Nixon
@@paulrevere2928, or have their president, President Nixon, talk on the phone to the astronauts "on the moon" with *zero* delay because Nevada ain't that far away after all.
Like the newer Musk, _it must be real because it looks so fake_ animal abuse neurolink demo he faked according to neuroscientists that watched the show?
Heartwarming.
Yes, Kubrick was selected to fake the moon landing but he was such a perfectionist that he demanded that they film it on location.
@@ResoluteGryphon I know right!? I mean when Nixon had his phone call with the Astronauts on the Moon, there was no delay for the astronauts to respond to the president, or a delay for the president to respond to the astronauts.
I mean, for live tv, you can overcome the physical laws of the Universe right? Who wants the audience to wait to hear the scripted dialogue after all!
*"The passed is erased, the erasure is forgotten, the lie becomes the truth."*
I was 5 years old when I watched the Saturn V Moon launch in 1969. How old are you Resolute? You only know the last 20 years, cause the last 20 years has been completely psychotic, anti-scientific times in education, media, the courts and the gov't. According to a 2020 Pew Research study, more than half the women under 30 have psychiatric disorders. (Pew American Trends Panel: Wave 64, March 2020)
You wouldn't have noticed, if you were born in this complete bizarro world. You must assume that all men around you with voices almost as high as the women around you was always the case. No, no, it hasn't.
The young "men" of today have less than 15% of the testosterone of their great grandpas in the early 20th century. I have 50% the testosterone levels, but I'm 56 atm, so, I can supplement by injection.
*Ignorance is bliss, until it isn't.*
Excellent video.
Normally, I skip through videos, but this one I watched until completion.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank a lot for making this available.
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!
As always, great video! But I would like to point out that Alex singing "Singing in in Rain" wasn't Kubrick's idea was an improv by Malcom Mcdowell, he came up with the idea of singing the song in that scene.
Im in tears of happiness i have no words to describe what i just saw just unbelievable awesome thank you very much
I love your writing. I think you could have expended each section just with Kubrick. Shot selection impeccable. Makes me glad I bought all of his films. The announcer - while a superior choice - could slightly attenuate his floridity, but just a bit.
I love his movies so much.
This video was insightful. I hadn't noticed that his true torture didn't start until the desecration of his beloved Beethoven.
No director has ever matched the mastery and genius that Stanley Kubrick had. He had an understanding of art and storytelling that was beyond any human mind capable of making a movie.
he must've been an alien
🤯🤯🤯
I am loving these directors' chair videos! Can't get enough. Can you, maybe, explain Jean-Luc Godard or any Nouvelle Vague Directors?
Kubrick was a chess hustler, nfl lover, aviophobe, and absolute perfectionist. nobody ever had an eye like him from the look magazine photos to the feature films. he knew every crew members job better than they did. revered, respected, but never particularly honored. 2001 is likely the most influential film ever made. Kubrick was, is, always will be the GOAT of filmmaking.
Finally, what we've all been waiting for.
Hope it was worth the wait!
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.
Apparently, even though the film is black and white, the war room table in Dr Strangelove is green too
This is amazing! It explains Stanley Kubrick’s style and psychology in his films so well.
maybe you'll find some psychology of your own in this short i made ua-cam.com/video/NE6qCUTJjU0/v-deo.html
Music, symmetry, not afraid to get dirty on topics, visually stunning.
cinematic perfection
You should definitely do a video about Oliver Stone, David Lynch, Sergio Leone and Roman Polanski. I always enjoy your videos about filmmaking, it is so educational and well explained. Thanks a lot!
I really love these, so thank you! Could you also make one on Hitchcock's directing style?
He's definitely in the pipeline!
StudioBinder made a huge score point by analizing the works of Kubrick. Even dead, he still is the big reference in film making.
Many, many thanks !!!! Well done !!
Greetings from Brasil
Dear #Studiobinder the amount of information and presentation that you put in each and every video is impeccable✊. And speaking specifically of this video I'm sure Stanley Kubrick is proud of this 😭. And as always much love to this channel, and hoping for the day for this channel to blow soon 🤧.
Thanks for the support!
In regards to the cinematography, he also uses a lot of zooming shots to frame certain characters in a particular state of mind while revealing the context in which they are. And regarding themes in Eyes Wide Shut, the iconic masks worn by the atendees at the secret cult further suggest the message about duality, speaking about production design.
Now this is how to advertise your product. Well done, StudioBinder.
Cheers!
A Legend like none other 💯💪🏻❤️👊🏻💥👏🏻 One of my favorite aspects of his visual captures is Kubrick’s often use of symmetry.
I thank you for adding real insight into what he achieved. I am a fan, but not one who has studied or analyzed film, so you taught me much.
Glad to hear!
I have been waiting 15 years to listen to someone explaining this.
A Digital Revolution? Maybe.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy to make it!
Please upload an episode on Satyajit Ray's directing style.
I love these directing style videos! Would love to see the channel do one about Kurosawa as well!
Truly one of the all time greats. Even though he never won an Oscar; he has the incredible respect and admiration from the fans.
i see 'Kubrick' i click, no questions
Kubrickian power 😂
Without Kubrick would we have a David Fincher? Kubrick was a master Filmmaker and an influence of mine.
hard to overstate his influence on today's filmmakers
Most directors would be completely different.
Without Sergio Leone, S. Packinpah, Orson Welles, D.W.Griffith and D. Arbus would we have a Kubrick?
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 Yes we would!
@@elestireninsanylmaz9581 Actually one of Stanleys hero's was D W Griffith. stew fmj crew.
Amazing essay on my favorite Director. Great choices and analysis.
Cheers!
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.
Because his camera work is the best of the best. I've come to the conclusion its even subconscious. If you watch his movies on psychedelics his movies are very aesthetically pleasing to the eye for being so centered and full of life and atmosphere.
*Please make a video on Vince Gilligan*
We might!
ur channel really is helping me a lot thank u guys for your work!
Happy to help!
Beautiful video. Loved the color discussion.
The greatest movie Kubrick ever made was the moon landing
I have never ever watched a great timeless films as a Stanley Kubrick films
Part of the Kubrickian quality
Lots of work put in this video, great information again.
Taking a space and using the camera to relentlessly mine for shots is the first level of respect i have for Stanley.
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.
Kurosawa is amazing.
Hey Studio Binder. Why is this not public??
Not supposed to be - we make our new videos public every Monday
@@StudioBinder oh my bad. Btw as always amazing video. Thanks fkr sharing this
oh boy... that singin in the rain and symphony no.9 is always there dazzling around in my mind. genius.
This makes me learn a lot about film making!!!
I think it deserves to be mentioned just how difficult and stressful of a director he was to work with. For example, the scene in The Shining in which Shelley Duvall walks back up the stairs while crying and swinging a bat on her husband was shot 127 times. That is only the tip of the iceberg as the director had over-stressed the actress so much that she started losing her hair on set. He also made Tom Cruise walk through a door 95 times 'till he felt satisfied w/ the shot.
This is a misconception she actually didn’t lose her hair, she liked the movie she said she wouldn’t do it again but he made them do so many takes so they acted exhausted. That’s why when you watch the shining you can see how fed up they are, he was recreating the feeling of madness. Jack Nicholson is already great at that kinda crazy but shelly wasn’t that’s why he was so hard on her. He is demanding but he isn’t as mean as people make him out to be. The boy who played danny didn’t even know he was in a horror movie. Kubrick literally made everyone hide the fact that it was a scary movie. He is demanding because he wants to make the best movie he can because what’s the point of just making a good movie they just come and go. He works hard and doesn’t ask anything of his actors he doesn’t do, yes he made them do that take 127 times but he was there for all of them, he isn’t pushing the work off on others he was there working his ass off and there’s a level of quality to his movies he expects and that everyone excepts. They knew what they were signing up for. And a relatively unknown actress shelly is in on of the most iconic movies of all time it’s been copied, parodied and year by year it gets better and better and better. The more you watch it the better it gets which shouldn’t make sense for a horror movie because once you know what happens you don’t get the shock value. But his movies are different they are hard to like at first but you can’t stop watching them, they are obsessive meticulously crafted and each time you view them you really can’t stop, there is no stopping. Nobody is perfect so not all his movies did he perfectly nail it but 2001, a clockwork orange, the shining and eyes wide shut that man nailed each of those movies are iconic and will stand the test of time. Kubrick movies are misunderstood at first, then liked then obsessed over and then they become iconic staples even tho all his movies were relatively cheap to make. He is the greatest director in my opinion nobody can shoot a movie like he can. The lighting, the composition, the blocking everything is so perfect. There literally will never be another like that man, i wish I could steal his directing skills imagine the movies he could make today, all his movies were before cgi, all his lighting had to be practical, he had to literally ask nasa for cameras that man was ahead of his time. Also the only “fault” in his directing is the fact he didn’t know what he wanted till he got it but to me that’s a strength, if you plan everything out and you story board everything you lose what could be to what is and that’s why every director you see shoots basic coverage unlike Stanley where everything is just directed so beautifully. I know his movies are great because all his stories weren’t really that exciting it was his directing that made them iconic. Like the shining literally nothing happens two people got killed that’s it. No jump scares nothing yet I guarantee you people are still terrified by that movie. 2001 looks 100 times better then star wars and it was made a decade before it. Kubrick understood what made movies great it’s not the story, it’s not the dialogue it’s the atmosphere they create it’s like hypnosis. Close your eyes and think of apocalypse now you see the foggy haze almost psychedelic atmosphere it creates in your mind. Think of a clock work orange you think of this almost jolly sinister dark atmosphere where the joker belongs. His movies are hypnotizing that’s what he was going for that’s why you can watch them over and over. It’s why you can’t stop, the atmosphere of the environment is what people remember. I don’t care how good the dialogue is if there is no atmosphere then your movies won’t last the test of time. Every movie that does has thar one thing in common, it’s the screechy terror of psycho, it’s the noir of Casablanca, it’s the pure giddy joy of singing in the rain. People don’t watch movies to relate to characters they don’t watch it for the dialogue they watch it because it lights up apart of their brain and they almost inhabit the world of that movie. It’s why his movies are objective and rarely subjective. He knows morality is in the eyes of the watcher so his scenes are as objective as possible and let your eyes create the story and just live and occupy the world or sometimes he makes you feel like the monster like in the shining or he makes you apart if the chaos like in a clock work orange but every movie is just perfectly shot. Which is why it pisses me off that the greatest director never won a best directing award even tho his movies are the best directed. Kubrick movies are antithetical in how they are told some movies are amazing the first time you watch them, that first experience and you fall in love with the film. But you slowly start to fall out of it unlike Kubricks movies you watch it and you don’t know what to think and you think it’s a bad thing and then you watch them again and again and again that’s the genius of his movies. There are no secret messages all of those are what the audience pulls into the movie, he says it himself he doesn’t ever have a meaning to a movie because either the audience gets it immediately or it’s to subtle and they never get the message. But he hints it at you he guides you and let’s you make the meaning. To me movies have no inherent meaning they are whatever the audience decides, and morality is subjective some people see murder and it’s shocking some people shrug it off. The atmosphere the experience that’s what they are all about, they take you to a different world with grounded rules but he still lets you imagine for yourself and the better your imagination the more you like his movies they make you make the story up as you go. The stories are simple but your mind creates the world it’s like reading a book it takes some work and it’s hard if you don’t like reading but the atmosphere the story creates in your mind are better then anymovie could ever be. It’s not as visual but the creativity is on another level it’s your first true magical experience and it’s riveting. Also I really really wish he was alive today i would kill to watch blade runner 2049 with him. He would of loved that movie he loved the original blade runner he called it the most beautiful movie he has ever seen i just wish he could of seen blade runner 2049 omg what a movie the visual experience is second to none literally the most beautiful movie you will ever see. Roger deakins is a living god!!!
@@amadeus962 His tactics despite be demanding still ate not good even if people knew what they signed up for. There are plenty of directors that csn get whatever emotions they want from an actor without resorting to all those terrible tactics
Incompetent manbaby with a studio footing the bill, he won't put in the work to figure it out himself, so he'll throw a tantrum until his egotrip has satisfied him.
@@zoyaYT93???
This Kubrick guy is pretty good.
Yes. The kid has potential.
he's a talented bloke for sure
This Guy Kubrick might be the next big one
@@mjolninja9358 I wouldn't go that far. He's too young to say for sure, but he's probably just a one hit wonder.
Love this content and the narratives are solid gold!
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…?
UPDATE:
I THINK I GOT AN IDEA!!! 🤩
(I’m open to other ideas of course, but I think I got something!)
This video essay is insightful, inspiring, amazing and mesmerizing. Please upload a video essay on Clint Eastwood, Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles. Also, on the French New Wave Movement
Appreciate the suggestions!
Where are The Killing, Paths of Glory, Lolita and Barry Lyndon? Not even a nod to those classics.
It learned me a lot about his filmmaking style
Stanley Kubrick is the person who changed my view of filmmaking
Love the chapters option 👍🏻
