“If it Can Be Written, or Thought, it Can Be Filmed.”

Happy birthday to Stanley Kubrick.
“A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.”
“If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.”
“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”
“The destruction of this planet would have no significance on a cosmic scale”
“I've got a peculiar weakness for criminals and artists-neither takes life as it is. Any tragic story has to be in conflict with things as they are.”
