I had at least found time to go to this exposition at the " Film Museum. " Many personal items have been lent by his wife ( German ) Christiane, and from the estate Stanley Kubrick. His Chess board, his cameras...et cetera...
You have his early photos ( Good to very good ) his early films like "Day of the Fight " (n 1951 ) " Fear and Desir " ( I saw some passage of it, it did look...disgusting...) " Killers Kiss" 1955 who look very good. " The Killing " 1956 and few TV films he did made.
On all did my fondness go to " Barry Lindon " and to his " Napoleon " project where you could see his maddly work and the power behind his research. Let us hope that Victor will finish his dream...
Did I like it? Yes and no. This director will always have something strange for me, some thing that I do not feel right, some thing strange to my mentality.
He got of course, all my respect. He was just brillant
Follow Ups:
I read an article in a MENSA mag once. Yes, I was once one of them. It is believed that people with IQs 20 points or below will not always be able to understand people with higher intelligence. They just won't get it.Kubrick was once in MENSA.
Now, that's not to say I understand every one of Kubrick's films. I'm still having a problem with The Shining and EWS.
Patrick,Please explain that piece of crap to me.
I loved the music, but the film was awful.
Nicole Kidman is also very OVERRATED.

One of my favorite Kubrick movies. My only problem with it is the dvd is 4:3 but it says on the front that it is in the original aspect ratio.
There has been considerable controversy over the aspect ratio. The two times I saw it in the theater it loked like 1.85 x 1 ("Academy Flat") as I recall. But the DVD producers claim that Kubrick himself wanted it in 4 x 3 on the DVD. I always watch it 16 x 9 regardless of the fact I am losing some picture information.

Sorry Tosh I canīt. I dislike the actors in this one that I may be blind for this one. And not only the actors but the whole sickening ambience. The only thought that came yesterday in my mind, is that "We" are maby not " ripe " enough for this film and should give it another shot in a few years.
That is the best I can tell.Patrick ratlos
As I have posted before, this one improves over time. But be sure to screen it in 16 x 9.
In the last 13 years only 16 / 9 tvīs.
But will I ever will be able with T.Cruise. Who knews I could ever with Neal...
In fact it get more and more charm.
Curious.
Simply, his IQ was relatively high. I have read that persons with IQs more than 20 points above others will not be understood those with lower intelligence.Ok, that may be a copout, and a also a failure for him to not realize that fact. My take is that is that it will take many years before the general population realizes the excellences of many of his films.

Just the resulf of your own free will - no one forced you to keep your handle unregistered.

all of Mr. Chaplin's works are very accessible. You are confusing intelligence with elitism.I would also think that most great directors are of above average intelligence. Bergman, Fellini(sp?), Kurosawa, Capra, Stevens, Nicholas Ray, John Boorman, and (name your favorite here) are just a few examples. They would need be in order to handle both the cinema aspects as well as the storytelling.
IMHO, Kubrick did not make a single wholly successful film after "Clockwork Orange." He substituted length and setting for good storytelling and lost much of his audience. It's a shame that his career ended with "Eyes Wide Shut." He started out so brilliantly and ended up as Zalman King with a bigger budget.
A pity.
I for one consider "Barry Lyndon', "The Shining" "Full Metal Jacket",
and, yes, "Eyes Wide Shut" to be unqualified successes. All quirky and Kubreckian, yes, but all genius level films.
"Full Metal Jacket" is a near-classic, as is "The Shining." And I would call them excellent but certainly not "unqualified successes." I do find "Barry Lyndon" beautiful to look at but deadingly dull. I find "Eyes Wide Shut" to be horribly pretentious and thoroughly disengaging.A film about an unpleasant subject can be thrilling, as Kubrick himself proved with his spendid "A Clockwork Orange" and "Paths of Glory."
Still, since he made so few films, of which nearly half I consider classic, he still goes down in my book as one of the all-time best directors.
other genuises, has dynamic, divergent creative intelligence that can't be objectively measured sufficiently by pencil-paper tests. Chris Harding of Australia, founder of
International Society for Philosophical Enquiry devised tests to measure 'divergent thinking', but they didn't fare well as far as
objective measurements. Personality-temperment-motivation factors are
important as well as intellect too. - AH.

That would get Stanleys mother boo hoo hooing and wringing her melanky rookers...
