He was a director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and editor.
we can remember his famous movies like The Killing,
Paths of Glory,
Spartacus,
Lolita,
Dr. Strangelove,
his greatest masterpiece 2001: A space Odyssey,
A Clockwork Orange,
Barry Lyndon,
The Shining,

and Eyes Wide Shut Before he became a director,
he was a photogrpher for a magazine called LOOK,
and later he made two short movies ''Day of the Fight'' and ''Flying Padre'',
and his first 2 feature films ''Fear and Desire'';
''Killer's Kiss'', which were not very successful..
But with his famous movie ''The Killing''
he receives positive critics as well as with Paths of Glory,
a war movie with Kirk Douglas.
After this he works on Spartacus,
also an epic movie where he assumes Kirk Douglas.
The movie Lolita, of the sixties,
had problems with censorship, because of the topic,
where a man falls in love with a young girl called Lolita.
The actors are James Mason and Peter Sellers.
The actor Peter Sellers made also another Kubrick's movie Dr. Strangelove,
a satire's comedy with the topic of the cold war.
In this time people are scared of the nuclear bomb,
Sellers interpreted various characters.
In 1968 he co-wrote with Arthur Clark: 2001 a space Odyssey,
the movie narrates how man's age begin's, and always stars again for a new age,
it's based on Arthur C.Clark's short story The Sentinel.
Stanley Kubrick won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
In 1971 he wrote, produced and directed A Clockwork Orange,
this movie made many people discuss for the content of violence and nudity, now it's considered a great movie.
Based on Anthony Burgess' novel,
Kubrick declared that if it wasn't for Sergio Leone he wouldn't have been able to do this movie.
In 1975 Kubrick made the movie Barry Lyndon, an epic movie,
which was influenced by various directors
like Ridley Scott and Martin Scorsese. A curious fact:
While he was making Barry Lyndon,
he asked the director Sergio Leone for advices on how to synchronize music and images,
because this was a speciality of Leone.
In 1980 he direct and produced the movie ''The Shining'',
a horror masterpiece, based on a novel by Stephen King.
This movie is considered the scariest movie of all time,
but in my opinion this movie is on the first place for the best horror movie of all time and I'd give the second place to The Exorcist,
which was offered him to direct, but he declined, so William Friedkin made it.
Stephen King delcared he doesn't like the movie The Shining, because it's too different from the book.
In 1987 he made Full Metal Jacket a Vietnam's war movie with Matthew Modine and R. Lee Ermey
yeah that guy.
In the nineties he tried to release a Holocaust movie but he couldn't make it,
because Spielberg simultaneously released Schindler's List.
In 1999 his last movie ''Eyes Wide Shut'', a mysterious movie, was released.
The topic is that Tom Cruise is obsessed with the image of his wife, played by Nicole Kidman,
making sex with another man.
When Kubrick died, the movie was interrupted and Spielberg concluded the film editing.
In the '70 a quite famous band asked to interpret The Lord of the Rings of Tolkien.
The director was Stanley Kubrick and the band was called ''The Beatles''.
John Lennon wanted to be Gollum.
Thank you Tolkien, to have saved us by not giving your permission!
Kubrick in '80 and '90 discussed with Steven Spielberg the making of the movie A.I.:Artificial Intelligence,
but when Kubrick died Spielberg continued to work on it.
I think A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a beautiful movie and it's ending scene made me cry.
We can remember Kubrick as a genius for his precision,
for hi insistence on actors and for the determination while directing the same scene over and over till perfection.
He was a genius and a perfectionist.
I'm SugarK I hope you enjoyed the video, and see you next time!
