I would've been more blown away if he actually lived long enough to be able to put himself through several more kubrick masterpieces. dude hardly slept. wasn't physically healthy. with a brain constantly on 110% all the time.
What a perfect example of humility and deflection: He credits a colleague (Spielberg) and then discusses the award's namesake, never discussing his own work or contributions to the artform. He let his art speak for itself. It still does.
The Shining and Eyes Wide Shut are amongst the only movies I can watch over and over again, and still be deeply in tune with. We lost a great hero over 20 years ago, but he left behind some amazing art for us to continue to enjoy and appreciate. RIP Mr. Kubrick
Leon Vitali filmed this for Stanley and he said Stanley had what he called his “actors kit” which was a little comb and things to make himself look presentable. He said it was so adorable how nervous Stanley was about this little acceptance speech.
He was nervous because he knew that he was sending a secret message. He was , at the time filming "eyes wide shut" which depicted the secret societies of the elite (and their perverted lifestyle). The movie actually was severely modified cutting a lot of revealing things. Stanley clearly stated the tale of Icarus. Trying to fly too high. Risking it in a way. He was himself risking it. Bothering those on the top. He, of course died of a heart attack (never ever having heart problems before) before the film was released. He knew he was , in a way, Icarus
Kubrick is still, the greatest director ever to shit between two shoes. He lived, he died, and he gave us the greatest movies ever made, about one every ten years.
@@SimenSebastian not true, shelley duvall has stated many times that the stories about what happened with her and kubrick have been exaggerated and while he could be harsh and demanding, was never abusive or ruined her life.
@@glassbowl2147 Either case, I have seen footage from behind the scenes where she looses her hair because of stress during recording, and Kubrick tells the others to not show her sympathy..
Why? When it's your time to go, it's time to go. He lived a lot of life. Death is not a punishment, it is rewarding when you have lived and contributed so much. There was nothing more for him to do. He made his mark in history. Plus he was sick. Death alleviated all the pain he had in his later life.
It's really surprising hearing him say in a mid-1960's interview that when he graduated high school his grade point average was so bad he would never get admitted into any collage, never even tried. He just went from still photagraphy to film-making in his adult life. Most film directors seem to come from formerly being actors, film-editors, screenwriters, assistant directors and such. Some go right to film school with the sole intent of being a motion picture director. But I never known of one who started off first as a still photagrapher. Maybe that's what made him so visually unique with his films. Spielberg summed it up when he said that nobody crafted a film like Kubrick.
That is because he was born with a gift. You can go to school but you either have it or you don't. Being gifted and talented are two different things. Stanley was gifted.
Stanley Kubrick is so wise and knowledgeable, he even looks and sounds like one of those classical Greek philosophers Edit: People when I said he sounds like a Greek philosopher, I meant to say that that's how I can imagine a conversation would sound like between Plato and Aristotle. Not that he has a Greek accent or speaks Greek.
From what I’ve heard and read, he was fearless and tough like a New Yorker in action yet incredibly sensitive and and thoughtful in demeanor. A beautiful mix of personality traits.
They made Kubrick read a Script to praise themselves?? Eyes wide shut made my eyes wide open. Hats off to Kubrick.R.I.P. LEGEND. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED.
@@Rs-xw4bj I don't know for sure. Just mixed up my thoughts regarding eyes wide shut production controversy and this Hollywood kind appreciation video.
He was one of them, but he showed too much real shit that they do behind closed doors. They are the elites and famous people and politicians. They all are secretly Satanists.
One of the greatest legends the film industry ever knew, I can binge watch his films in loop until my deathbed just like my dear chap Alex from Clockwork Orange.
Stanley Kubrick: God Bless You, Sir. You were a profoundly amazing and talented film-maker, artist, intellectual and visionary. You took the art and science of motion pictures to superlative heights, to outer space and beyond. May your Soul Rest in Eternal Peace.
Wins an award, doesn’t talk about politics or even himself, just talks about the joy of making movies, wish more acceptance speeches could be like that.
He’s been built up for so long as this intimidating master at his craft that it surprised me when he was a grandpa with a soft voice and just a hint of a Noo Yawk accent this whole time
D.W. Griffith was one of the founding members of the first motion picture company United Artists. They started it all, and the people who never created anything are always the first to criticize something they have never done or can do.
This speech strangely brought to mind the quotes of two films of Kubrick, on Icarus, 'The Killing': "There are some things, my dear Fisher, which bear not much looking into. You have undoubtedly heard of the Siberian goatherd who tried to discover the true nature of the sun; he stared up at the heavenly body until it made him blind". Of the fortune of Griffith the fortune of 'Barry Lyndon': “Barry was born clever enough at gaining a fortune, but incapable of keeping one. For the qualities and energies which lead a man to achieve the first are often the very cause of his ruin in the latter case.”
You’re right about Napoleon. Had it not been for Waterloo, he would have done it. I’d rather see his take on Napoleon, which undoubtedly would have been a masterpiece, that what we got with Rod Steiger. And as much as I consider Barry Lyndon one of the best shot films in the history of cinema (a true technical masterpiece), I found it not engaging with my taste. As far as A.I. goes, it was his decision to give it to Spielberg because he felt himself wasn’t the right director for this type of project. He felt the project fitted Steven’s style more. Can’t argue with a master’s intuition. And at the end I believe Steven did an excellent job. Stanley would have loved his friend’s work.
Stanley Kubrick was literally, without question--one of the greatest filmmakers ever to live, to even pick up a camera. He should've garnered an Oscar every time the man so much as made a movie. He pretty much did get a nomination every time he made anything. When he so much as took a s--t. Well-deserved here. I expected them to give it to him for his swan song effort, EYES WIDE SHUT. You know, the posthumous win. Like the old joke about the gut that dies the day he won the lottery. Hey, Stanley deserved this Oscar. He deserved it every time he made a movie. Check out the visuals for 2001. They were breathtaking. They still are. The whole film was. Special-effects tend to look really dated rather quickly. Not the effects here. They still hold up. They still have a trippy sort of awe-inspiring majesty to them. Once again--like the whole film. Look, the Oscars are overrated. Even the winners say so. The most overrated ritual in Hollywood. It's all politics. Kubrick was in a class by himself. I say he still is... Look, F-the Oscars. He won Best Filmmaker for everything else. Because he was...
His movies were the kind that he wanted us to watch at least four times to fully grasp so he wouldn't expect us to enjoy them the first time we saw them
Shameful that you do not have a room full of Oscars to leave to your loving family Mr Kubrick. Love and respect from all your fans in Tasmania xxx. Rip.
Nickelodeon's were tiny theaters that used to show movies back in the day before big movie theaters were a thing. They charged a nickel for admission hence the name
Bravo Kubrick, for disguising a vignette of his purpose as an acceptance speech. He stands there like a school boy at attention spouting platitudes. Knowing full well, that when he pushes his glasses up, we take note and find a strange comfort. Life allows no edits to its absurd mix of glory, fragility, wealth, loss, love, and deprivation. Just small comforts along the way.
Funnily enough, he wasn't comfortable in front of a camera, just behind one. He says it's why he never did any talk shows. He was a lot different in person.
Kind of amazing to watch this considering that half the reason film schools now days show you D.W. Griffith movies is to crap all over who he was as a person. Kubrick is simply stating the truth: Griffith was a technical and artistic genius, regardless of one's own political views. Morons now days would never be able to make this distinction and Kubrick would surely be cancelled if he even attempted to make this speech if he were alive today.
Most film studies cover Griffith still and nothing about this speech would get Kubrick “cancelled”. The DW Griffith Award’s name was changed in 1999, Kubrick was awarded it in 1996. Just because Griffith made one film that was very racist and almost too naive to believe at times, it was still an innovative epic and there was more to him than his one massive hit he’s known for. He was a great artist. As for “politics” in film, politics are a part of films, filmmaking, and filmmakers as anything else is. To ignore that would be ignoring the truth of how and why films are made and what shapes the people who make them. Griffith’s father was a civil war veteran who told young Dave all about the war, I’m sure many of his fathers stories were exaggerated or whatever, but regardless it made the impact it did. Orson Welles was raised by a feminist mother and a globetrotting playboy father, it goes on and on. The political landscapes of those lives and outcomes surely shaped the films they made.
I can understand the racism mongers getting all bent out of shape by even the mention of "Birth of a Nation", but then they removed a statue from his other film "Intolerance" over in Hollyhood which is quite stupid, considering that film that displayed man's intolerance towards one another throughout the world in different historical periods, with no hint of "racism". People need to be able to separate the work, the "art" from the person. It's pretty absurd
Griffith was responsible for both formalizing the language of cinema and inciting a 30 year renaissance for the KKK. It isn't difficult to prove that the man was either evil or (beyond his technical ingenuity) a complete idiot; 'Intolerance', however admirable, can't possibly justify what he did. I've never understood how someone can value a single person's artistic legacy over the life and well-being of millions, value a name over the most fundamental of human justices. The inclusion of a moral framework around 'Birth of a Nation' in film schools is long fucking overdue necessity. See Kavon's comment for an explanation on how it isn't anything specific to Griffith, either--good criticism has and will always take a work of art in the context of its creator, moral ecosystem, and political atmosphere. Weighing the technical advancement of art over actual human life is a pretty hollow point of view, and the fact that you consider analyzing the ethics of one of the most racist movies ever made is "too political" saddens me. Narrative cinema will always have to reckon with the darkness at the center of its genesis; how filmmakers choose to go through with that reckoning is what has me hopeful for the art form's future.
"but is the message, dont try to fly too high? or rather, it might also be thought of as forget the wax and feathers, do a better job on the wings." What a way to sum up contemporary culture.
Unfortunately Stanley was in declining health when he filmed Eyes Wide Shut I believe the film set the record for the most retakes in a Kubrick film everyone knows this is pure exhaustion eighteen hour days were typical for him and cast members and for The Shining the lead actress suffered a nervous breakdown and her hair fell out . He was a homebody and NEVER left the UK all was done in UK film studios such a shame he died so young he worked himself to death and even before doing so he is one of THE GREATEST and highest IQ film directors of all time Orson Welles probably being his only equal . 💯💯👑👑
I wonder how many takes he put himself through before submitting this.

"Do a better job on the wings." Coolest and most profound and funny and poetic and inspiring piece of advice ever ? :)
Stanley Kubrick with 100% of hapiness !
So I guess Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg were great friends
They were Steven says they talked so much on the phone
They were gunna direct a movie together 😂
@@papakufi yeah so make the movie together I mean that’s what it sounds like
@@papakufi and the project between both of them is a movie
That's probably part he knew the world was run by pedos. RIP Stanley and Heather ORourke
Perfect speech right there
"but is the message, dont try to fly too high? or rather, it might also be thought of as forget the wax and feathers, do a better job on the wings." What a way to sum up contemporary culture.
Too talented man
Kubrick offers a chilling warning regarding DW Griffith
Please can you explain more…
@@worldnewsfoodandbooks8218 take a look around you and figure it out for yourself.
Yes Jack, it is indeed very typical of Stanley. Leon Vitali, Kubrick’s (late) assistant said he filmed this many times until he made it perfect.
They broke the mold after Kubrick.One of a kind.
Unfortunately Stanley was in declining health when he filmed Eyes Wide Shut I believe the film set the record for the most retakes in a Kubrick film everyone knows this is pure exhaustion eighteen hour days were typical for him and cast members and for The Shining the lead actress suffered a nervous breakdown and her hair fell out . He was a homebody and NEVER left the UK all was done in UK film studios such a shame he died so young he worked himself to death and even before doing so he is one of THE GREATEST and highest IQ film directors of all time Orson Welles probably being his only equal . 💯💯👑👑
fuck yeah, stan. legit af forever. art doesnt need to be explained. just observe it and flip out if its good
If he had lived into the 2000s, wonder if we'd had gradually gotten more video interviews with him?
