Implying that Kubrick isn’t a genius in his own right.
Stephen King wrote a lot of stories. Not saying that a lot of them aren’t good. But it feels, to me, like he’s been throwing a lot of shit at the wall to see what sticks with a lot of years even releasing multiple books in a year. The man is a machine, with some good stories sometimes.
Kubrick’s movies on the other hand have been classics for the most part. And yes, that includes the Shining.
The Kubricking extends beyond The Shining. A. I. is a horrible travesty of the original short story. The author begged him not to do that idiotic retelling of Pinocchio, but Kubrick didn’t listen.
You mean the Stephen Spielberg movie: “A. I. Artificial intelligence”? Because the Kubrick version was unrealized. And the unrealized pinnoccio movie?
So you’re angry at a director for movies that were not made?
Steven Spielberg specifically said that he would continue Kubrick vision for the movie. And the Pinocchio discussion Brian Aldiss had was with Kubrick, not with Spielberg.
So be careful not to cut yourself with that edge. You don’t seem to be handling it well.
If Kubrick were a REAL auteur, he wouldn’t have needed to adapt other works into films.
With the exception of one of his very early films, all of them were based on pre-existing material.
Even 2001 was based on Arthur C. Clarke short stories that were merged and expanded into 2001 with the cooperation of Clarke.
Most directors don’t write their films and I don’t think “auteur” means what you think it means
If Kubrick were a real autist, he’d be like me
Kubrik is an arsehole who literally destroyed duvall’s psyche. For a fucking movie. I don’t respect him.
