Director profile:

Stanley kubrick has been the most attractive filmmaker in the past 40 years, and his works have received almost as much praise as curses. The incredible visual style in the film won him rave reviews, and his unconventional narrative sense often attracted contempt and criticism. Nevertheless, he is still a unique artist in the media circle dominated by repetition and imitation.

As a memorial, the restaurant in Hong Kong Broadway Film Center was named after him.

In Hollywood, there is a person who seems to be rarely remembered, but everyone respects him, and that is the great director stanley kubrick. Of course, there are many people who gnash their teeth at the mention of Kubrick, that is, actors who have worked with him. Starting with Kirk Douglas, who starred in Spartacus, everyone said that the director was crazy and sadistic. Kubrick also sneered at these big-name stars. He never said a good word about Hollywood. He would rather live in the suburbs of London for many years than meet those "idiots" and "snobs" in Beverly Hills.

Compared with most American directors, Kubrick's works are pitiful. If you count his early experimental films, there are less than 20. Kubrick was a journalist in his early years, and his passion for movies soon made him a representative of underground movies. His extraordinary talent attracted the attention of Hollywood. Since 1960s, he has been a professional film director, and Spartacus, which was seen by domestic audiences in 1980s, was his first work in Hollywood. But Kubrick didn't seem interested in making such commercial films, and soon he surprised producers and audiences with his unique personality. Most film scholars regard Kubrick as a representative of postmodern films, and his works strive to express absurd life and tragic philosophy, as do the works of modernist movie master such as Bergman, antonioni and Ferini.

The sixties and seventies were the golden age of Kubrick's creation. During this period, great changes have taken place in American society and culture, which gave Kubrick unlimited inspiration. Dr. Strange Love is a black humorous drama about the nightmare of future war, which describes the destruction of the future world in the shadow of nuclear fear. It highlights such a theme from a unique perspective: nuclear fear and nuclear crisis are only external manifestations of human crisis. As long as there is a crisis of mankind, there will be a crisis of civilization. Lolita is adapted from Nabokov's novel of the same name. By 1997, it has been put on the screen for three times, and Kubrick's films are recognized by most people as the best. 197 1 clockwork orange is a film with a strong "hippie" culture in 1960s, and it is also Kubrick's most successful masterpiece. The film expresses Kubrick's views and attitudes towards a series of cultural, political and ethical phenomena in the 1960s through two clues: juvenile delinquency and the persecution of young people by social authorities. The violent scenes in the film amazed the audience. Violence is an important theme in Kubrick's films. On the one hand, Kubrick opposes violence, especially its harm to human nature. On the other hand, out of hatred for the social reality of moral decay and atrocities, he believes that violence can only be countered with violence. Especially when individuals are oppressed and alienated by social authorities, bold use of violent resistance is the only way to liberate themselves. 200 1: A Space Odyssey is a sci-fi film that gives an epic description of human history. Many years later, this film was rated as "the best science fiction film of all time" for many times. This work explores the future survival of mankind with a cold and objective style and a high sense of solemnity and mission. Kubrick endowed the film with the most philosophical theme: in the history of evolution and development, people could not find their place in the vast universe, and eventually ended up drifting and destroying.

From the mid-1970s to the 1980s, Kubrick made only three films, namely barry lyndon, The Shining and All Metal Jacket. These works are quite different in content and form, which shows his ability to grasp different themes and styles. Barry lyndon captivated countless audiences with his beautiful image modeling and application of classical music. The Shining pushed the creation of horror films since 1970s to a climax. In a snowy winter, the crazy killing of the writers guarding the hotel still haunts many audiences. The highly cinematic modeling means also let people see the director's extraordinary skill. All Metal Jacket is a movie about the Vietnam War. Vietnam War movies have become an important genre of American film industry, which is in great danger of flooding. Kubrick chose a novel perspective, profoundly and meticulously depicting the changes in the inner world of the characters, and left a deep impression on many films with the same theme.

Although Kubrick's works are few and his style is flexible, one thing is the same, that is, he tries to embody philosophical meaning in his films. Although this has affected the appreciation of movies to a certain extent, his maverick thinking has injected distinctive cultural and philosophical colors into the film industry. His pursuit of extreme images enriches the film language and makes a unique contribution in this respect. The International Herald Tribune once listed him as one of the four most important film directors in the contemporary world, along with Italian Ferini, Swedish Bergman and Japanese Kurosawa. Many cultural scholars often take his works as the analysis object when studying social thoughts and cultural phenomena. Peter Covey, an American film historian, once said: "Kubrick dares to defy social conventions and expand the field of subject matter. Every one of his works is not a mediocre work with the passage of time. " Not long ago, the famous American film magazine "Hollywood Report" rated 40 "most influential" directors among the world's 500 directors, and Kubrick ranked fifth and deserved it.
