Why is Kubrick a great director?

How many Kubrick movies have you seen? Just say a few.

1, photography

This old boys was born as a photographer, and when he was not in class, he took photos all over the street with his camera to make money-you know, that year was film. Students who are interested in his photography can click on the link below to watch more pictures. )

Stanley kubrick: Light and Shadow Catcher

Later, I made a movie and maintained a super high level of photography from beginning to end. His filming requirements are extremely strict, and he must accurately control all the details of the studio. Even poor Spartacus, there were scenes of bodies everywhere during the filming. He asked the extras who played the corpse to take a number plate, from 1 to several hundred, and adjusted everyone's position in the picture.

When shooting "barry lyndon", he used the F0.7 lens used on the American space satellite to shoot this costume movie made entirely of natural light. Some people may think that Kubrick's films are not as powerful as the legend, but no one will deny his photography skills.

2. Anti-type

As we all know, since Lolita, he has changed from a genre director to an anti-genre director. Before, he tried film noir (Black Boy's Kiss), Bandit (Black Boy), War (Road to Glory) and Epic (Spartacus), and then he subverted all genres-of course, according to his own words, he just wanted to make a pure genre film-and he did it: in "200 1 Star Trek" The so-called anti-genre, on the one hand, is the narrative mode of anti-genre films, on the other hand, it is also anti-traditional and develops new techniques in audio-visual language. For example, in the opening of clockwork orange, the hero is completely different from Hollywood's polishing of evil factions, and there is no big shadow on his face. However, all the audience can feel that this man is evil.

3. Technology

Because of the precise manipulation of technical details and the pursuit of leading the times, his films can often promote the development of the film industry.

For "200 1: A Space Odyssey", he almost fixed all the space projects, which is also the science fiction film with the least scientific loopholes. Even the small sign on the toilet door of the spaceship was written by Kubrick himself, because he demanded that everything should be the same as the real space environment. And this film has also become the mother of art design of later sci-fi films-Star Wars, Alien and other films all admit to being influenced by him. The model setting design technology in the film industry has reached a new level.

When shooting The Shining, he first used the camera stabilizer and asked the inventor to shoot the maze and the passage of the hotel for him. Since then, camera stabilizers have often appeared in his films. Until today, this stabilizer is also the most popular equipment in the industry.

So Kubrick's films can affect countless people all over the world.
