Stanley Kubrick



Stanley Kubrick was born on July 26th 1928, and died March 7th 1999.

Over his lifetime Stanley Kubrick had directed and produced many films of which became very popular in the 20th century and most of them winning Oscars.

In the late 1950’s Kubrick was introduced to a producer named James B. Harris, they became good friends and their business partnership funded Kubrick’s next 3 films.

His first film with a professional crew was “The killing”. Although this film was unusual to see in 1950’s cinema with its use of none-linear time, it was his first successful film.

Because of “The Killing” Harris-Kubrick productions where noticed by MGM which then gave them copyrighted stories to choose from for their next projects.

The great success of Kubrick’s life, lead to him making even more films, which starred the most famous actors and actresses around at the time.

One of Stanley Kubrick’s most famous films was 2001: a space odyssey. He spent 5 years on this film and it showed in its quality, it became a classic film due to its cultural impact and it groundbreaking special effects.

When asked about the meaning on the film, Kubrick replied, “ They are areas I prefer not to discuss, because they are highly subjective and will differ from viewer to viewer. In this sense, the film becomes anything the viewer sees in it.”

I choose to do Stanley Kubrick, as I like a lot of the films he has directed. He became such a successful person and left an impact in the world of film because of what he had achieved.
