Brief introduction of movie master Kubrick's life.

Stanley kubrick stanley kubrick (July 26th, 65438+0928-1March 7th, 999) stanley kubrick was born in the Bronx, New York, USA on July 26th, 928. My ancestors were Jewish immigrants from Austria-Hungary, and my father was a doctor. Despite his poor grades in school, he has always been regarded as a smart and talented student. From 65438 to 0940, Kubrick's father, who was a doctor, decided to send him to live with his uncle in California, hoping that the change of environment would make him improve his studies. 194 1 year, Kubrick returned to his parents from the Bronx and completed his last year of junior high school. His learning attitude and academic performance finally improved. In order to make Kubrick have some hobbies, his father taught him to play chess. As his father hoped, Kubrick became fascinated with chess and soon became a chess master. Chess played an extremely important role in Kubrick's later career. It is a tool he often uses to deal with uncooperative actors, and it is also a symbol of his elegant life in movies. On Kubrick's 13 birthday, his father has now made a very wise decision-to give him a camera. Soon, Kubrick became a photographer. In order to take pictures, he ran all over the streets of new york and worked in a friend's darkroom. When he sold his first photo to Look magazine, he got to know the professional photographer in the magazine and got his first job as an intern photographer at the age of 17. He gained fame as a photographer for the first time and sold his photos to Look magazine as a freelance writer in high school. /kloc-When he was 0/7 years old, he was already a photographer for Look, during which he traveled around the world for several years. Later, as an unaccepted student, he entered Columbia University and voted for professors who liked Calvin Trillin and Mark Van Doren. In the late 1940s, Couboulic began to fall in love with filmmaking and often visited exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art. In order to supplement his income, he often played chess in Greenwich Village. 195 1 year, Couboulic used all his savings to invest in his first film "The Day of the Battle", which was a 16 minute documentary about boxer Walter Cartier. The film was later acquired by Radio Television and released at the Paramount Theatre in new york as part of the series "This is America". Encouraged by this, he gave up his position in Look and devoted himself to film production full-time. With the help of relatives, he raised $65,438+03,000 to invest in his first novel, Fear and Desire, which is a war stories. The film was shot in San Gabriel Mountain near Los Angeles, with less than 65,438+00 employees (including Kubli's ex-wife Toba Mace). The film was filmed without dubbing, only later (this method eventually led to an increase of $20,000 in the budget). "Fear and Desire" was only shown in new york art theaters, and it didn't earn back the investment. 1955, he made his second film, the kiss of the underworld killer, which was successfully bought by joint artists and distributed all over the world. 1956, Couboulic directed his first studio film "Killing", which is a gangster film with overlapping time, starring Sterling Hain, and writing lines by legendary crime writer Jim Thompson. This became Kubrick's first artistic success, and also attracted the attention of Dore Share, the head of MGM, where he studied future plans with the novelist Calder Willingham. After preparing for Steven Zweig's The Burning Secret for some time, Thompson joined them and adapted Humphrey Cobb's war novel The Road to Glory. However, this plan was rejected by studio after studio until Kirk Douglas agreed to take part in the performance. In the end, this film 1957, which was shot in Germany and funded by United Arts Company, won unanimous praise from film critics, and further consolidated Couboulic's position as a promising genius.
