I love his carefully composed frames. <BR/><BR/>I loved EWS. It had this other worldly quality that I appreciated. NYC didn't feel like anything I've experienced of the city. It was Kubrick's far removed idea of NYC and I just found it intoxicating for some reason. I loved the scenes with Kidman, especially the ballroom seduction scene. <BR/><BR/>My only major gripe with Kubrick is Barry Lyndon. Pass. Everything else has something I enjoyed. <BR/><BR/>Still, I wouldn't die by Kubrick.Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-4922248761430053242007-10-23T10:35:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:35:00.000-04:00Kubrick is one of my favorite directors of all tim...Kubrick is one of my favorite directors of all time for the simple fact that his films are far from perfect. But the man reached for the stars when he decided to make a film (not very frequently) and more often than not stretched the limitations of film far beyond that of most directors. His ideas, theories, and cold approach to characterization have always been fascinating to me. You can watch Kubrick's films over and over again and get something different everytime. Eyes Wide Shut is my favorite film of his because of how strange and sexless it all really is. The films marketing strategy was genius. No one knew what the damn film would be about. The whole point of Eyes Wide Shut is its dream like quality and the desire for sexual awakening. I know it wasnt everyone's cup of tea, but one cant argue that it was just as fascinating as much of his older work.<BR/><BR/>Sean KnightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59222119396322388352007-10-23T10:23:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:23:00.000-04:00"isn't she meant to be?"for one scene yes. but the..."isn't she meant to be?"<BR/><BR/>for one scene yes. but the whole movie?NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-12990685525224451402007-10-23T10:22:00.000-04:002007-10-23T10:22:00.000-04:00"Maybe I don't know why Nicole Kidman is reading a..."Maybe I don't know why Nicole Kidman is reading all her lines like she's stoned."<BR/><BR/>Isn't she meant to be? <BR/><BR/>Also, <I>Full Metal Jacket</I> is possibly my favourite Kubrick.
