Someone who has a lot of sex and friends. Someone who says their favourite director is David lynch is trans.
>>2172531132001 = Barry Lyndon > Paths of Glory > Full Metal Jacket > Dr. Strangelove > Eyes Wide Shut > Clockwork Orange > The Killing > The Shining > Spartacus > Lolita > Fear and Desire
>>217253119In all Kubrick movies sex is depicted as negativeA clockwork orange: rape and delusionThe shining: child abuse possibly rapeFull metal jacket: prostitution during war timeEyes wide shut: secret underage prostitution, husband possibly being cheated on, sex orgiesBarry lyndon: Barry is a womanizer, a fraud and becomes the villain of the story Dr strangelove: Idea from the nazi scientist to have a nuclear bunker with a harem for every men in it
>>217253075Normal guy who's not exactly a film buff but a somewhat nice overall person.
>>217253364I have watched more than 4,000 movies
>>217253075My best friend from highschool.>>217253119Definitely not my best friend from highschool.>>217253327Ok but where is it depicted as negative?
He really dropped off towards the end of his career. Full Metal Jacket is good during the first act in the boot camp, but it becomes a so-so, humdrum war film afterwards. Eyes Wide Shut is boring because it tries to shock you with things that are not particularly shocking. "OMG, THESE RICH PEOPLE ARE HAVING CONSENSUAL SEX WITH PROSTITUTES, AND THEY'RE DOING IT IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE? Aaah nooo save me Niggerman, etc."
>>217253396Doesn't matter. If Kubrick is your all-time favorite director, it's all over. You are not a film buff. But a nice guy, probably.
>>217253075Kubrick would be cancelled today. Yeah he was really hard on his actors and did some fucked up shit sometimes... wasn't always the nicest guy. But god dammit... what ever happened to suffering for art?The fact his movies would not be allowed to be made today cause he was too hard on his actors is a sad thing to think about. Thank god he got them in before the world went pussified.
It took him way too long to make movies. What's with the gap between The Shining and Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut? It also took over a year to shoot those.
>>217253476Who would be a film buff's favorite director? Antonioni? Bergman? Haneke?
>>217253541Tarkovsky is a good choice for the film buff who wants to set himself apart from the crowd. Tarkovsky's films are good but also very laborious and difficult to get through. He's a "filter," and snobs can feel safe in saying they like him.
>>217253180Older cinephiles do too much of the 'look at me making sure to glaze the approved classics'. The young ones do too much of 'look at me i will pick the off beat dark horses'. Both are wrong. And you favor more towards the newer end of the spectrum Paths of Glory is good but it isn't in his top 6... those are locked for good reason and anyone saying otherwise is being a contrarian just to be one. Also 2001 while important is overrated cause no one wants to admit to it having minor flaws compared to his other elite works. It became such a staple of the critic hive mind of the 70s and 80s (where they would lose credibility if they went too much against the crowd) that it has a slightly higher place than it should Here is the real ranking (along with my personal opinion)Barry > Eyes > Strangelove (this is how i have them... but honestly any order is correct) > Shining > 2001 > Clockwork (again these can be moved around but this is how i have them). >>(power gap) Killing > FMJ > Paths (my order.. but any is fine in that tier) Spartacus > Lolita (either is fine... this is my preference) > F&D
>>217253476you can go deep into cinema and find yourself returning to kubrick at the end of the day. i know it happens to me.
>>217253705It's all very well slapping down My Official Ranking, but if you're going to put a divisive film like Barry at the very top then you should at least say why you think it deserves that place.
>>217253075Intelligent, handsome and good-natured chad who has lots of friends and gets any woman he wants
>>217253835Yes that's me :)
>>217253075a kinosseur, only because i think barry lyndon is a beautiful filmbut for me its MANN
>>217253327>all of kubrick's movies>lists half of themZoom Zoom hasn't even watched every Kubrick in imdb's top 250. Get a job schizo
A guy with a cute bussy.
>>217253770Fair enough. And don't think i am slapping down. Everyone has their own film journey. I imagine your taste today aren't what they were 10 years ago and your kubrick rankings have changed over the years. I dare say they will change more with more movies and time under your belt. If not that is fine too.As for Barry... It is arguably the best looking movie ever made. Not to say it is entirely perfect... no movie is or will ever be. It does have a few shots that go on a little too long. The one with the kid in wooden clogs is the best example of one time in particularly the movie jumped the shark on over indulgence. But the highest are absolutely incredible. Subtle set pieces that are masterful. Framing is flawless much of the time and uses inventive angles. The absolute scale of things is amazing in its understatement at times giving the whole thing more gravity. The subject matter is fantastic. A man without class trying to break into a higher class system which is just as empty of meaning and humanity as he is. A scum bag breaks into a scummy system and is pushed out so the other scum bags can feel superiority about themselves. The only person of any morals in the whole thing and seemed worthy of where she was was the greatest victim of it all. His minor redemption... the one time he thought of someone else besides himself cost him everything. Doing wrong got him everything.. doing the right thing once cost him it all. And that dueling scene... WOW.

>>217253327>rape and delusionwhat? how is delusion related to sex
>>217253075A spectator. You either have your own vision and make your fucking films according to it, or you spend your time sitting on your ass, studying what other people made and obsess about their work.Every filmmaker I know or worked with knows Kubricks big films, but try talking about them and no one remembers more than a few details & gets those wrong too. Liking something someone else made is fine, but making that your personality means you have no personality. It's not your work, you have nothing to be proud of. Fandom is for losers.
>>217253075Ever since I learned it was pronounced cue-brick I havent been able to take him seriously
>>217253075A person who enjoys the smell of their own farts... until he learns of their Jewish origins.
>>217253075Rob Ager, and people impressed by Rob Ager. That kind of person. And probably not many normalfags, nor people who are serious artists. Problem with Kubrick movies is it seem like he was operating from a certain comprehensible playbook. Within occult circles, there is a certain mental system of associations, numbers, colors, musical notes, the classical planets (and their spiritual meanings or one might say their "personalities"), basic geometry, and so on. The idea that all of these basic elemental symbols are interrelated with associations. It's not a "perfect system" and part of the game is figuring out how to balance it properly, both aesthetically in art, and in life in one's own personality. It is possible that if Kubrick films feel meaningful it is because he was adept at balancing various symbols and concepts against each other according to this or similar systems I have in mind. Or don't buy this theory.On top of this, if you buy into the idea of incarnation/reincarnation, it seems Kubrick incarnated as a very balanced individual. An auspicious arrangement of the planets, at his birth. Or don't buy this theory. At any rate, yeaLike every critic says...Kubrick movies are incredibly impressive technically speaking, and they have a very interesting and austere aesthetic. They also feel cold and mechanical. Was he a great artist? Idk. Was he a great wizard? Maybe. He laid the aesthetic foundation for modern sci-fi with 2001: A Space Odyssey.

>>2172531802001 is fucking boring.
>>217254045>Not to say it is entirely perfecteverything pre-intermission is perfect by design and then the breakdown happens. the stagnation seeps in, age shows (runtime as well, heh) and its a perfectly designed character arc circling back right to the beginning of the movie. i personally dont enjoy the second half, but that is by design. the misery i feel when watching is the same one barry feels. saying its the best stanley movie is not wrong even story and structure wise.
>>217253075a pseud
>>217259368i wouldnt go that far, more like a beginner that just got into movies recently. something popular doesnt always equate to being bad. having favorites at all is the sign of a beginner anyway, there is so many movies and also always a recency bias and seasonal viewings that enhance your film experience. i wouldnt watch shining during summertime for obvious reasons, nor would i watch TCM during winter. there is a heap of movies and shows that are too good to rank against each other, everyone of them has their own flavour. tldr: top ten or tier lists are stupid
>>217259427>t. pseud
>>217253075
>>217253075depends of his kubrick rank
>>217259860Kubrick isn't my favorite filmmaker but how is ranking Eyes Wide Shut as my favorite, and The Shining as his best/most watchable.
>>217253075Well, no. The reason why Kubrick is pseud-coded is because of 2001. The correct opinion is to disregard it completely and focus on his other movies.Barry Lyndon > FMJ > Eyes Wide Shut >> A Clockwork Orange >>> Dr. Strangelone >>>>>> The Shining
>>217253075Someone who only recently got into film seriously
>>217253075Young people aren't supposed to like Kubrick, you're supposed to like JJ Abrams so I can call you a faggot
>>217260120EXCEPTIONALLY poor ranking, here, placing his three best films either at the bottom, or beneath consideration. Terrible, terrible, incorrect opinion. A total inversion of reality. The correct opinion is to disregard your ranking completely, and focus on mine:2001 is in fact his best film, and this becomes clearer to the right-thinking person once he has spent time with each film. It goes like this:1) 20012) The Shining3) Dr. Strangelove4) Barry Lyndon (Yes, it's below the above three. Yes, I am correct. No, you are not correct. Yes, I was not filtered. Yes, you were filtered. Very, very pretty but it does drag a bit (Clockwork Orange suffers from the same problem, to a worse degree in its back half), that's the facts. Doesn't help that the MC is a dick although his Irish obviously propels the drama.)5) Eyes Wide Shut6) Clockwork Orange (toss-up-with PoG, really)7) Paths of Glory8) Full Metal Jacket the movie that does drag in the back half, a correct observation made immediately by many at the time of release. Obviously it contains memorable things but it's among the weakest of his "real" films9) Spartacus (yes, it counts, although he was a hired gun and it isn't "his" film). Some nice sets and a few memorable bits, but bloated Old Hollywood stuff.10) Lolita (his dullest "real" effort, outside of The Killing if one wants to include that. Shelley Winters is just a little too good at playing an awful, unlikeable character and we practically cheer once she's dead. But that doesn't liven the proceedings much. Peter Sellers is amusing, and will become far more so again in Strangelove).11) Killer's Kiss (A simple, early noir piece with a few nice moments. The best of the young Kubrick's earliest "student" efforts, he successfully declares, with this little picture"I know how to make noir."12) The Killing (All in all, a rather dull heist picture with a few amusing moments)13) Fear and Desire
>>217259860My top three are Barry Lyndon, A Clockwork Orange and Lolita.
>>217260531Horrible horrible list
>>217260531>(Yes, it's below the above three. Yes, I am correct. No, you are not correct. Yes, I was not filtered. Yes, you were filtered.

>>217253075Someone without a personality.
>>217261150Incorrect.>>217261152Barry Lyndon is great, especially the nice thing where the number of lit candles gradually increases with night scenes as he goes through his rise, as the troll's picture shows. It's simply that the other three are better overall films, that's all. The total disregard for the three best films (and the unwarranted high ranking of FMJ) is the tell. All this, taken together, is suggestive, or highly indicative of a troll, an unserious person.
>>217261733The whole 'it's two different movies' take on FMJ is retarded. It switches on you from a comedy to do a psychological horror film, that's the way Kubrick designed it.Not to mention the first half is thrillingly entertaining and R. Lee Ermey is great, but if you can't appreciate the second half then you're retarded.
>>217261816You're missing the point. The other films are much better. Of course, since the mature Kubrick directed FMJ, it's a fine film, yes, but most of his better stuff is, well, better.Your points about Ermey's performance and comedy are apt. Ermey's virtuosity as a drill instructor, which is objectively funny once you've watched it a few times (which is why Pyle, and the smarter audience member, crack up). He lobbied for the part and was simply so creative and useful with the tests and insults that he'd hurl that he won Kubrick over.Your central point is incorrect. People are quite right to regard the film as consisting of two halves, or parts, which are very distinct from each other. Obviously they are meant to cohere and reward repeat viewing, but the first half does such a good job of telling a complete story unto itself that it nearly renders the actual going to war superfluous. The real genius move would have been for Kubrick to try something different(ly short) and announce a new short film, consisting solely of the first half, which tells a complete story. Just as Dawn of Man does in 2001 (which, incidentally, also does a wonderful job as its own short, and becomes even better every single time you see it. A problem is shown, beautiful desert shots, god intervenes somehow, an enemy is overcome. The End). One can appreciate the second half of FMJ, yes (it does a good job of depicting a true hell-SHIT-war-zone, Joker fumbles his weapon at the moment of truth then bodies the sniper to Animal Mother's satisfaction, etc), and connossierus [sic] can feel good about themselves for appreciating the details of one of Kubrick's lesser films.
>>217259251maybe t*ktok and tw*tter are better suited for your nonexistent brain and its rectal oozing tier tastes
>>217253075>What kind of person do you imagine?Depends entirely on your interpretation for the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
>>217255907The last scene in the movie is the protagonist literally daydreaming that hes having sex in front of a bunch of people, delusion
I'd rather watch any Adam Sandler comedy kino than boring Kubrick's movies
>>217263031Just say you are 70 iq, there would be more dignity to it
>>217253075Sensible person bc Kubrick is on a level of his own
>>217253075Literally me.
>>217262881Just as the monolith made the chimps transcend from being animals to intelligent lifeforms, it makes humans transcend from being intelligent lifeforms to whatever the fuck is the next stage of evolution.
I watched Barry Lyndon for the first time not too long ago. It might be my favorite of his movies. That movie does not get the credit it deserves. It's amazingly good and I never hear it get talked about like I do a lot of other 70s classics, or even Kubrick's other movies.
>>217253075A boring cunt with no taste.
>>217253075Someone who has never seen a movie before.
>>217263349Same, I went with low expectation since historical drama could be boring but then the whole thing becomes a masterpiece, Kubrick doesn't miss
>>217256030What films have you made?
the best kubrick movie is The Duellists
>>217262888he wasn't deluding himself, and the scene was symbolic about him committing the sexual acts in an acceptable manner
