Session 6 - Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick is an American film director, he was born in 1928 and died in 1999, he was an incredible filmmaker recognized worldwide.

For me Stanley Kubrick is the most amazing film director, he created some of the most wonderful movies in history.

He was a perfectionist worried about the smallest detail, he always used the latest technology in his films, in Space Odyssey 2001 he created stunning set, and incredible special effects.

In my opinion it is difficult to pick just one movie, because all the movies are totally different.

In Dr Strangelove, we see a critical and political opinion about Cold War, but from a satirical and humorous look.
in Full Metal Jacket, Kubrick tells the horror of the Vietnam War, very deep and shocking

One of my favorite movies is The Shining, this film tells the story of the madness that occurs loneliness has mixed with story of a haunted hotel, where grisly murders shown there is a spectacular and creepy story.

Besides create fantastic stories, he created incredible atmosphere where art direction takes an important role because Kubrick cared to the smallest detail of the shapes,  colors, etc.

His film is mostly symbolic

Stanley Kubrick is my great inspiration in art direction, and of curse in movies in general.
