Director Monday - Today we talk about some of the most influential, in my opinion, film directors, Today I will start witha favorite of mine Stanley Kubrick.
Kubricks most Notable films for sure would be 2001 A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, The Shining ( of cours) The beloved Dr. Strange love or: How I learned to stop worrying and Fell in love w/ the bomb. Known for Stop his critical outlook on certain aspects of life he was not afraid to show this in works such as Lo**ta and Dr. Strangelove for sure.
What really sets Kubrick apart in his era was how he used the camera, He could make a scene look like a painting such as Barry Lyndon or A Clockwork Orange even in the darkness. The way he centered shots, or creat ways he would use the Camera for instance anti gravity shots for 2001( making a mouse wheel basically for humans).
One thing I Can Say is if you pay attention nods to this director are all over the place. Hal pops up quite often in science fiction. To end this I will say a quote fron Stanley Kubaik "A Film is- or It should be- more like music than fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, whats behind the emotion, all that comes later" I truly believe the best films utilize & emotion & tell a story through this. Kubrick truly understood how to be ahead of his time.
Thank you all for the read on a favorite of mine and more to come every monday.
