[Kubrick, in the end, was too controlling, “too brutal”,
to properly bond with. But he adored Anderson and was great friends with Robert Altman. Those were his giants. Maybe there are others still out there. From time to time he will overhear his sons discussing new directors they love; artists who seem to share the same bold and freewheeling style. “But I’m an old fossil these days. So I sit still and stay quiet.”] [You can see him in Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, hanging with his droogs at the Korova milk-bar, making up his rassoodock what to do with the night. The sky was the limit. The world was his oyster. One felt he could achieve pretty much anything.] https://www.theguardian.com/film/202...st-of-my-films I am glad Director Kubrick was Brutal he got the best out of that young actor This Film is a Masterpiece [The film was a box-office success grossing more than $26 million in the United States and Canada on a budget of $2.2 million.] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Clockwork_Orange_(film) Last edited by arista; 26-07-2020 at 12:45 PM. |

Kubrick was a **** and I hope he's resting in piss. He destroyed Shelley Duvall and was, by all accounts, an abusive piece of **** that would be blacklisted and hated if he was around today.
Don't be glad about abuse, Arista. Abusing someone isn't worth it to get a 'good' performance out of them. |

This thread is about a Top Movie of 1971 Not about the Shinning (1980) you could make a thread of that great 1980 film. Its a Young Actor getting paid Kubrick was a Genius Feel The Force https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...ubrick-1113502 Last edited by arista; 26-07-2020 at 03:36 PM. |

I saw "Eyes Wide Shut" for the first time last week and it was not what I was expecting AT ALL. A load of misogynistic drivel and wee Tom Criuse being lead around by the hand looking like Draco Malfoy at his first Death Eaters orgy.
I'm really not convinced he was any sort of genius at all. I remember Clockwork Orange well, though I haven't seen it in years, and let's face it... It gained notoriety based on controversy because it was considered "shocking" for its time. |

Yes early USA Cinema 1971 edited the sex rape scenes. TS do not go to his last films (he was much older then) he won Oscars Film 2001,(made in 1968) for example Last edited by arista; 26-07-2020 at 03:48 PM. |

Yeah, Eyes Wide Shut is a lesson in style over substance imo.

He had a great run of films starting with the heist film, The Killing, in 1956.
I think the negative stories about him were mainly down to the fact that - outside of when he had a film to promote - he rarely give media interviews. |

Why So Serious?

He was a fantastic director but I could imagine he must've been a nightmare to work with. He must've drove Shelly Duvall insane as that's her genuine reaction in the ''Here's Johnny!'' scene. Kubrick shot that scene like 127 times. I would've quit after the first 5 takes. How the actors managed to keep their cool with him I'll never know.

Malcolm McDowell did a good interview quite recently on Mark Kermode's podcast. He has a lot of interesting stories about his career. It's worth a listen - https://play.acast.com/s/kermodeonfi...alcolmmcdowell
Listening to it again he says he had a good relationship with Stanley Kubrick. |

The Shining is brilliant and she gave a great performance, so he did something right!

....these type of ‘genius’ people who are so controlling and brutal...with ‘methods’ that are so harrowing and quite terrifying...?...make me think of the JK Simmons character in Whiplash...(..can’t recall the character name atm...)...but yeah, totally ruthless and terrifying and damaging...

Reminds me of Tippi Hedren saying she was treated awfully on the set of The Birds, especially during the attic scene, after she declined Hitchcock's advances.

They're supposed to start off seeming relatively normal and then completely unravelling psychologically as time goes on... ...it's literally the entire point of the book. It's basically the whole story. And of course the other vital story beat is Jack's eventual "moment of clarity" that allows him to destroy the hotel (and himself along with it) ... which they changed in favour of a "creepier ending" for the film. SO yeah to reiterate... it's a well made horror film but it's a really shockingly bad conversion of the book that completely misses the point. |

I can't find anything online that really shows that Shelley Duvall's experience on the set of The Shining led to her later troubles with mental illness.

...I don’t know if Kubrick’s treatment of her directly led to in any way, but it’s entirely possible that it could have been a significant trigger to the deterioration of her mental health...and it’s also possible that he could have chosen her because he saw an actress whose mental health could be exploited in the way he wanted the character to be and in the way that he did...I mean, ‘victims’ are often well chosen, aren’t they...he had insisted on Shelley when apparently she was less obvious to play the character as written in the book, it had been suggested, Jessica Lange as written the character had been much ‘tougher’ in the book... but he had changed the character completely to fit Shelley is what is being said...only he then had to create and not just when the camera was rolling...telling all of the cast to show her no sympathy when she broke down and making her feel isolated...to not see another human being but to only see ‘a performance’ or to see a fragile mental health that could be moulded into the performance he hoped for, whichever way his ‘method’....he really isn’t someone for me who could ever be admired in any way...

I like Stephen King books but I've not read that one yet. I've also got the TV movie/mini series thing somewhere, still need to watch it.

There’s a “The Shining” BTS video online I saw a while back that shows him being a complete twat with Shelley Duvall and she’s sitting there literally pulling her hair out in clumps from the stress of making that movie. You can’t help but wonder or even assume that this experience contributes to her current mental state. Poor woman.
(I absolutely love The Shining btw, there’s just something about it that deeply unsettles me no matter how many times I see it). As for his other movies I’ve only properly seen A Clockwork Orange and Full Metal Jacket properly. I thought the former was brilliant but I lost interest in FMJ after “the shooting scene”.

The TV movie is a much more faithful adaptation of the book and the characters are portrayed far more accurately. That said... It is a 90's TV movie and the budget and cinematography matches that. TV was really no rival to cinema back then, certainly not like it is now.

Quentin Tarantino was also accused of mistreating Uma Thurman during the filming of Kill Bill. He is still around though and could defend himself.
