Really ? Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and you are yours.Let me suggest checking out robag88's channel and check out his analysis of several of Kubrick's films.I think you may just change your mind....but if not,no harm done,right?
He just has a very high quota for movies. If you want over rated, you can just look at Steven Spielberg for that. All of his movies are Blockbusters. He has only really had 2 movies that I can think of that were special. Close encounters and Jaws. Kubrick had Strangelove, 2001, Clockwork Orange, The Shining, FMJ, Eyes wide shut. All of his movies are fantastic through direction, and not made for a mass audience, which is ironic given his popularity.
PROFOUND! my friend! I like your style & process of thought! Did you know that LSD consumes 47 times it's own weight in reality? Yes! It IS true! Hahaha!
What are you talking about? Pulp Fiction? Reservoir Dogs? Please inform me of any films close to the originality of those. Pulp Fiction quoted as being one of the most influential films of the past decades
Just because something's influential doesn't mean its original. Before you bother replying you should realize that Tarantino himself has never declared himself to be original; he wears his influences on his sleeves: new wave, spaghettit westerns, blacksplotation, etc. Tarantino is many things, talented, influential, etc but original has never been one of them. He'd be the first to tell you. If you can't see his influences you clearly know very little about cinematic history.
He's been incredibly original! He's made remakes, paid homages, and been open about his influences, but that only makes it more miraculous that his films can surprise us. Pulp Fiction was original not because pulp was something Tarantino thought of, but because he was able to translate the forgotten genre to film and revolutionize notions of proper film plot structure in a way that today is only palely copied.
You are so right! Most people have no clue.Like I said above to CitizenKANE2277, Tarantino is excellent at "stealing" from his influences and giving them his own "spin".....
Really? Interesting. What makes Tarantino great is that his films pay homage to the old greats in a variety of genres. His films wouldn't work if they were meant to be anything else. He's original in his own way, but most of his film ideas aren't entirely unique.
It's nearly impossible to create something completely original. Kubrick did it, but a lot of what Kubrick did was nearly impossible, that's why he is the best ever. But it's just as great a skill to be derivative of greatness and being able to incorporate them into your own work without seeming derivative..... My head just did a 1080, sorry, but I'm sure that'll make sense to you.
Reservoir Dogs is ALSO a rip-off of City on Fire (1987, Hong Kong). But then, hey, Picasso said that the great artists don't borrow, they steal. Shakespeare did!
yes, all the greatest inventors/artists, all drew inspiration from earlier works. they call it piracy in today's politically correct society. but the dead artists that leave behind inspiration are not upset that someone pirated their work, in fact that is the whole reason to write non-fiction books. is to leave behind a piece of their minds in hopes that someone can come along and pick up where they left off. that is the root of all human progress and purpose of all art. passing of ideas.
Lots of people steal. Great artists pick their noses too and do all kinds of hum drum things. Stealing is not an essential for a great artist, no matter how needy and greedy he might be. Just sayin'.
Actually Tarantino "steals" from alot of different movie styles and in some cases basically "re-makes" certain scenes to the "T". He does do it with class and his own"style", but he is not nearly as original as Kubrick....
He actually changed the story a little bit from the original Inglorious Bastards. But all of his other movies are from his own original ideas. None of his other films are re-makes, and all of them are original. What films are you talking about?
I'm a commercial and music video editor. It's so funny. In Europe, the directors are hands on like Kubrick. But here, at least in my industry, we sometimes don't even MEET the director. They shoot it, drop it off, the agency or record company make their comments, and then we cut it together. I LIKE being left alone, but I must admit. If I was a director, (and I've done a bit), I wouldn't let ANYONE touch my film. I'd cut it all myself.
naah it's the same schtick he has been doing for years, even the film he's ripping off now has the same title, some old italian war film. I'm bored of his homage shit
i agree 1 million percent... its about time he did something totally original like his first two films... but that's not to say I want anything particularly like those two film, i just mean of that caliber.
You called that right. I have yet to see one original idea in his films. From what I see, he SHAMELESSLY cuts and pastes from what others have done. If you haven't seen the original material, you think it's ok, but if you see the original material just once before seeing his cut and paste rip-off, it comes off completely differently and much for the worse. That's what happened when I saw Kill Bill after the 70s Japanese films he was ripping off. Then I re-examined his other films...
Those of us who are too lazy or too broke to buy the special editions would really appreciate any more of the interview you can post - especially us Kubrick nuts!
That may be tough because the interview and some of the images may already be copyrighted... but I wholeheartedly agree that these films are simply outstanding. Omid has a terrific sense of visual rhythm and pitch. Documentary filmmaking may be his calling.
Were they talking about 2001 before it was released? Because if this interview was in 1966 it was two years before it was finished.

Kubrick - the most overrated film director of all time?
A Clockwork Orange was fantastic - but the "genius" of that was really Burgess and McDowell.
Arse Wide Shut anyone? Full Two Films Metal Jacket?
The former appalling, the latter just a mess.
Kubrick seems a very nice guy though.
