  • he is right of course...100 billion stars each with about 8 planets....that's 800 billion planets in our galaxy the Milky Way...that's 1 galaxy in the midst of trillions...however it seems that nature made the distance between stars to be vast so as to have no relationship between any two solar systems...he wants us separate from other worlds..

  • is this the only videotaped iv of kubrich?

  • I'm with 'Dgamer21': Kubrick is the most brilliant moviegoer who ever vowed to make better films than the B-movies he grew up watching. I just saw for the first time since 1968 a 70mm print of "2001" screened at Seattle's Cinerama Theatre, and noticed for the first time that the orbiting nuclear weapons platform from the famous 'match-cut' has a French air force roundel painted on its side!

  • Robert Bresson >>> Kubrick

    Ozu >>> Kubrick

    Ford >>> Kubrick

    Lubitsch >>> Kubrick

    Welles >>> Kubrick

    need i go on?

  • @Idattani no please we understand you suck

  • @Eneru89 aww, did the poor Kubrick fanboy get all upset and sniffly? Fact is there are at least 30 directors i could name off the top of my head that are CLEARLY better than Kubrick, and most people that know cinema existed before the 70's feel the same.

  • @Idattani well do youknow who is Carlo Verdone?No i think youdon't. Making a film is likewriting a book,it can becomplex and artistically sublime,but if itdoesn't excite you, or teach you nothing orsimply doesn't makeyou happy,that'snotagoodmovie.

    The fact that youcame onYouTube tosay that Kubrick is crap,tells us thatKubrick hits you.Sodon't be immature,eachdirector is great,but not all hit the same way.I cannot have seen every film evermade, but that doesn'tmeanthat thosewholikeKubrickarejerk.

  • @Idattani Lol you are playing the " better than" game where art is concerned? go home and read your donald duck comics little boy ,come back when you have grown up... considerably.

  • @jsilence418 Yep just like i thought, you can't dispute that either of those directors i listed are better than the overrated Kubrick. Go home and watch Godard little boy, come back when you have seen TRUE ART, not pretentiousness masquerading as art.

  • @Idattani I just did dipute it stupid lol and you lost! too ashamed to come up with a good response? go home and watch your tarantino films like a good loser.

  • @jsilence418 You didn't dispute it any way, you simply resorted to petulant slurs like most Kubrick-geeks do when backed into a corner. Tarantino? I would think someone like you who thinks Stanley K is the quintessence of good art and taste would be more inclined to gravitate toward Tarantino being that his work is seeping with an almost equal amount of pretentiousness.

    ROFL. Bet you have never seen an Ozu film.

  • @Idattani Correct I have never seen an Ozu film. If I had, I have no doubt I would pick up all his idiosyncrasies. while you were picking up pop corn! you on the other hand could not nor have sat through any Svanmajer film!

  • @jsilence418 hahahaha I knew it, just proves my point that Kubrick-geeks have never even experienced true art on the level of Ozu but think they have divine right to anoint Kubrick as best director that ever lived, while continuing to be blissfully ignorant of the true masters of the craft!

  • @Idattani You can try and be a film hipster all you want. Throwing out obscure names here and there to try and prove your 'intelligence'. You say Kubrick is pretentious? YOU are pretentious.

    Also just a footnote: Kubrick ISN'T pretentious, he is a true cinematic artist and just because he's well known it does not diminish that. His films are warm but can be exuberantly chilling and they sit in the brain long after the initial viewing.

  • @StrawberryJungle How are those names even obscure? The point i am making is that it is complete ignorance for people to assert Kubrick as the head honcho of filmmaking when they haven't even seen or studied the work of such essential directors as Ozu, Bresson or Godard to name just a few.

  • @Idattani Can you not just accept that film is subjective? You think you're right about him not being the best film maker but perhaps his films just don't appeal to you as much as Ozu, Bresson or Godard's. To someone else, Kubrick's films may completely resonate with them or they may find his style particularly beautiful or moving. Also, how do you know that Kubrick fans haven't studied these other directors? It's very ignorant of you to assume that they haven't.

  • Comment removed

  • Oh man, I love his voice!

  • The only problem with Kubrick is that he should have made more films.

  • That's Kubrick ?

    I met him 2 years after he died and he looked a lot different.

  • @TacomaPaul you met him two years after he died?

  • @TacomaPaul Okay crazy man.

  • I expectet him to have a deeper voice.

  • Mindblower...

    and he says it in such a matter-of-fact way.

  • Der Meister spricht..

  • @Hoppus217 pm me your contact information

  • @Hoppus217 feed me!

  • Seeing this black and white footage with hissy audio just reinforces for me what an incredible feat, both directorially and technologically, 2001: A Space Odyssey was. So many futuristic movies look embarrassingly dated within ten years of their release.

  • @Hoppus217 faggot

  • @Hoppus217 I trust darryn, because each movie get's better every time

  • He's not one of the greats yet, But he's the best person currently. 2001 and full metal jacket are my favourite movies, Im only 13 and when I try to show my friends these movies they do not get it, at all. I feel alone lol. Personally I like darryn more then lynch, but that's just me. A film that I recommend you seeing is the film 'MOON'. Sam rockwell.

  • @Hoppus217 Darren aranofski?

  • Jackson king of pop, Kubrick king of cinema.

  • Is that Swedish?

  • oh yah and therealtaxidriver...........ki­ll urself.

  • certainly the most epic director of all time. He made about ten films, all completely different from one another. 2001 is a sci fi, Dr strangelove dark comedy, paths of glory war epic, lolita, and then there a clockwork orange which i cant even describe. the only other director i would say is over him is Ingmar Bergman.

  • @ThaSubzstance Bergman is visionary, but sloppy...he made over 60 films...Kubrick made 10 and are all brilliant, precise, accurate.

  • @ThaSubzstance i can see u know what ur talking about, but to be honest, they are two completely different filmmakers. although bergman has around 50 films, at least 40 of them are masterpieces, in their own way. this is a stanley kubrick page tho so ill shut up lol. rip kubrick.

  • the most important artist of the last 100 years

  • @fleamarket3000 You are valid in your observations

  • If you can't look it up in a book, then it didn't happen. Right Mr. Mason?

  • StanleyKu: Here's some haiku... Fuk-U!

  • @straker2 So you said that Jews are not broadminded, not free-thinker, but prejudicial? Undoubtedly you must be a kike :)

  • Comment removed

  • @straker2 Jews are ugly :)

  • Comment removed

  • I'm just going to put this blunt and simple: Stanley Kubrick is the greatest director who ever lived. Period.

  • @Dgamer21 I could not agree more.

  • @Dgamer21 Yes.

  • @Dgamer21 Agree with you 100%, Kubrick was the first and possibly last great director, the rest were slackers by comparison.

  • @Dgamer21 The greatest director of child rapist snuff films.

  • @Therealtaxidriver where did you get that from? I'm familiar with Hunter S Thompson and Roman Polanski being associated with those things, but not Kubrick. Where are you getting that, I want to look it up. Thanks

  • @Dgamer21 Bullocks

  • @Dgamer21 what do you think about Chris Nolan?

  • @dabangginception He's pretty good. But I don't anything else he's directed besides Inception and the batman movies.

  • Cara, o cara mandava muito bem cara

  • 0:19- The Eyebrow.

    

  • What a genius he was. After Kubrick, we lost Frankenheimer, Altman, and Bergman, just to name a few. We'll never see films like theirs again.

  • @mjpers1 Frankenheimer????? Hopefully we won't see the like of him again. We are talking Kubrick here, so lets have a bit of respect.

  • @MELOCOTON35 Ever seen The Train, Seconds, The Manchurian Candidate ?

  • @mjpers1 

  • Scientists know now that there are about a hundred billion stars in our galaxy, and about a hundred billion galaxies in the visible universe. The point is that there are so many stars in the visible universe, that the likely hood of life, evolving around them even if the possibilities where one in a million then there would be hundreds of millions of worlds in the universe.

  • lol... they translated "galaxy" as "solar system" in the Dutch subtitles. "There are a hundred billion stars in our solar system". Yeah... morons :)

  • Make anyone wonder how someone was able to get away with impersonating Stanley Kubrick he was reclusive a stereotyped sign of genius and that the guy who did didn't even look like him!

  • Simply the best director ! RIP Kubrick

  • I'm not sure what convinces me most that Kubrick was a genius...the fact he made such awesome films or the fact he shunned the media and avoided interviews...both show amazing wisdom and intelligence. His family and friends seem to be such warm, charming, down to Earth people, I'm not surprised he chose to be with them and avoid the spotlight of the typical media star. He's an example to the rest of his industry.

  • thank god for this man...the most important artist of the last 50 years IMO

  • >2001

    >Story

    Cool story, Kubrick.

  • Man, i wish i could of been on a set with him, just to see how great he was.

    Anyway, i made my first film :) pretty excited but i need feedback from you guys so please go to my channel and critique. Thanks (i dont care if its positive or negative) thanks

  • Most clever man in the movie industry E-VER.

    I grew up with his movies (2001,A Clockwork Orange,Barry Lyndon,The Shining,FMJ and Eyes Wide Shut) and i've never felt again the way i felt expecting a new Kubrick movie.

  • @Fjord76 There's been news about adapting one of his long forgotten screenplays, Lunatic At Large, into a feature film in this year ot next year!!! :D

  • @PrototypeAndroid Good for you! But as you know, intelligence is wasted on the apathetic who are inclined to use their intelligence to beget yet more apathy.

    Now, if someone says, "humanity has a LOT to learn," wonderful. But that's not in any way the same snide spirit as, "show me some intelligent life on Earth."

    Yes, we have a great many troubles. Less grumbling; more contemplation, and repair.

  • @El135o No worry. We'll make things better yet! Once we get bored of our cell phones.

  • @El135o Dude, he was fucking joking! You're the one who's a fucking pessimist.

  • @PrototypeAndroid Yes, a self-defeatist stromng point. Laziness and irresponsibility beget apathy. There are a great many intelligent people, and NONE make such apathetic comments.

    Muck in and get a say, or opt out and say nothing.

  • @PrototypeAndroid I think it's irresponsible and lazy. Pessimists are no better than optimists. Realists do all the work.

  • i feel a lot of ppl walked out of that premiere dissapointed...and for that I pity Kubrick cuz they gave up too easily on him

  • @kudjo24

    Are you kidding? It was a massive success.

  • @TheSpiritof1969 perhaps u should read up a bit, it wasnt "a massive success". as much as i like the movie, it got mixed reviews from lots of critics and audiences, the main reason being that it was "BORING". just sayin'.

  • @kudjo24

    No its was not boring but the problem was that many people did not understand the plot. It was beautifully made and like no other sci-fi before it. I left the cinama and had to read the book to work it out. Remember the story continued with two more films of the books that followed.

  • I really wish we could have seen what Kubrick would've done with the Avatar technology,

    I'm not saying Avatar was wrong for that tech. I'm saying that it's a shame we didn't get to see more of Kubrick's imagination.

  • @bassbait the education system in America did fail to notice his genius...

  • How true his words are ! Are the only life in the Cosmos ?? Out of 100 billion stars ? Oot of 100 billion galaxies ?? NOT likely !! Perhaps the god-like aliens see us a "mostly harmless".. :D ;)

  • This man should've won an Oscar!!!

  • @1944ACE1944 I think he won the d w griffith award though...

  • @1944ACE1944 i agree, but the academy doesn't like true "art" ;)

  • @1944ACE1944 He did.

  • 0:52

    ...bruno mars??

  • His movies are in colour bit his interviews arent. Strange...

  • @CAPSL0CKeD or should you say, strangeman

  • probably the only jew worth listening to

  • he is my favorite jew 

  • @goblue122394 He was born a New York Jew but lived his life as an atheist!

    And A Very Evil Atheist At That, Mr. Go blue.

  • Ok, so when will scientists finally discover intelligent life here on Earth?  I think that is the more pressing issue.

  • @marcparella

    Greatest comment ever

  • @marcparella Silliest comment ever.

  • @El135o: After the events in Tucson over the weekend, maybe you're right.

  • Beam me up, Scotty, there is no intellgent life on this planet.

  • @sunaru1 NO NO NO! it's Chenkov! Beam me up CHENKOV! *FACEPALM* did i just correct you on that? *sighs* it's worse than i thought

  • @marcparella even if we travel at the speed of light the time taken to reach the nearest star (Alpha Centuri) is 4.3 years and to return add 4.3 to it making it 8.6 years to know what is really happening on out nearest star. With our current technology we can travel at about 16Ma i.e, 0.000041 the speed of light so, even if we use all our resources it takes about 11,000 years to just reach the star and another 11,000 to return. Like a man on a canoe in Indian Ocean trying to find life in America

  • @marcparella they won't look in the youtube comments that's for sure

  • @marcparella

    HA !! Salient point. To expedite search you can safely exclude any & all in politics.

  • why doesnt he have a british accent when he lived there for like 40 years? and damn, he looks really young

  • @Chacha5678 i always wondered that too. his daughter has an accent.

  • Kubrick was a master filmmaker. He overestimated the rate at which humanity would advance, but 2001 A Space Oddysey will prove to be an accurate depiction of the future of space travel in due time.

    That said, it's time for humans to return to the moon!

  • @ptraiders40 If we were less conserned with global warming and ending world povety, we could be living on mars now.

  • @hughpower123 I agree. Poverty will never end and we're just making the problem worse by giving people food and not teaching responsibility. We should focus on the stars. It's the only way to ensure our survival as a species.

  • @ptraiders40 I have always said this, and seeing someone else say it is comforting. Because its not a easy thing to teach.

  • @hughpower123 I disagree, I think if the human race were less concerned with Religion, declaring war on homosexuals, preaching lies and denying intelligence life exists, we could living on mars. Yes poverty may yet exist regardless, but that doesn't mean we should not take care of our race as well.

  • @ptraiders40 He didn't write 2001, its was a book beforehand, he only turned it in to a movie, it wasn't his belief that by year 2001 that would have all happened.

  • @meezocool He collaberated with Arthur C. Clarke in writing the book and the movie was actually released before the book.

  • @meezocool No, he loosely based it off Arthur C. Clarke's short story: The Sentinel, and he collaborated with Clarke to make the movie, and Clarke rewrote the short story into a novel of the movie.

  • Wise words grasshopper

  • The most startling thing about Kubrick and his description of what 2001 was about, and what we know today, in 2010, is that it shows how prescient Stanley Kubrick actually was.

  • Yes, indeed! Stanley Kubrick was a bona fide genius. I love his films so much.

    R.I.P. Mr. Kubrick.

  • I love this guy - he was a genius!

  • the man

  • What accent is that?

  • @ZanyAnton Born in new york to austrian parents and lived in england for a lot of his life so alot of muddled up accents there.

  • @ZanyAnton brooklyn

  • @ZanyAnton His was a watered down bronx accent.

  • Stanley and Orson Welles are my two favorite filmmakers. They didn't see the ordinary, they saw the future of filmmaking as extraordinary beyond the human eye. Is just amazing how they saw behind the camera in a different way. Just amazing.

  • to all those who hate the movie and love the book take a quick glance at who helped write the screenplay ... DURPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!

  • Kubrick is a genre of film.

  • @imnomonkey11 I was gonna thumb up your comment, but it has 69 thumbs up right now, and I didn't want to mess it up. Sorry bro.

  • I bet he wasnt circumcised - that's for sure.

  • say what?

    

  • Just finished watching this film for the fourth time, and still find it a piece of shit. Bergman may have been depressive, but at least he had an intent, but Kubrick's work seems to be just a vanity project.

  • @UltimateSerge Look it this way: 2001 A Space Odyssey is a journey, as it is a journey for you. If you wanted answers... that was beyond Kubrick and Clark. Just a journey... a great one indeed.

  • @UltimateSerge It's Darwinian logic meets the next frontier. The starchild is man's transcending into a whole new realm of thought and achievement. Can man overcome reliance on computers? The bout with HAL tackles man vs artificial intelligence. The black slab appears due to other higher lifeforms working to bring man to these higher callings. Which is why shortly after you see the cavemen touch it, they discover the advantages of using weapons.

    The whole film is a poetic take on transcendence

  • @BryterJonas I guess my problem with it is that its an excessive implicit experience. Watch Bunuel's Viridiana and you have to infer certain things. But 2001 is entirely an implicit experience. In ways it seems overly suggestive without establishing a grounding.

  • one of my fav directors, such a genious. r.i.p

  • 2001 is so good and so profound, my friends from school never understand. 'its stupid' they say... i think theyre the stupid ones.

  • i don't think this movie has anything to do with aliens but with us humans..he just used that at those times for a hype... c clark lives on Ceylon or did and a lot in this movie has to do with philosophy coming from indian and Buddhist religions..

  • I love his voice. It's very unique and has character.

  • stanley kubrick: the greatest filmaker who ever lived

  • goto archive>wayback>yahoo... and discover!

  • The Coen brothers and Terrence Malick would also make up my favorite filmmakers list along with Kubrick and Hitchcock.

  • Stop calling him genius already!

  • @OrangeOceanOctopus Yep. I'll second that.I enjoy some of his movies and he is unique, but let's face it: Barry Lyndon is unwatchable and Eyes Wide Shut was an annoying effort.I guess it's also down to the actors: Ryan O'Neal and Tom Cruise? Give me a break....I guess 2001 was a very interesting movie,but the main actor was terrible...So yeah,let's judge him realistically and cut the crap.

  • @dixxjamm - I actually understand where you are coming from, but the fact is that Kubrick does grow on you the more you watch his stuff. I watched 2001 when I was 18 and hated it, ten years later I watched it again and loved it. Barry Lyndon is my favorite movie of all time! But I can see how the pace is not for everyone. But realisitically the reason he's considered a genius is because he changed narrative form - which is why some people don't like his work.

  • @Jackofall2345 i watched 2001 when i was 13 and i loved it, but that was because i was really into films and i loved stanley krubrick. i showed it to my 17 year old stepbrother and he hated it

  • @underbightdog23 LOL that's pretty funny. Yeah I would've been your stepdad. But funny I tended to read classic novels, but only liked action films and star wars when I was 18 and now that I'm old I love classic and especially Kubrick and I am pretty derisive of normal hollywood fare. But 13 man that's pretty young to be understanding Kubrick, did you end up working in the film industry?

  • @Jackofall2345 yeah i saw some of his films when i was thirteen, the shining, and a clockwork orange, he was so brilliant. but i want to work in the film industry soon but i am only 15

  • @underbightdog23 Well what do you want to do? I have just finished about my film degree and I am about to do my first major short film. If you ever want some advice about anything let me know. It would be cool to hear how someone who appreciated Kubrick in their teens thinks. Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do man. If you want to work in film just go for it. I put it off for way too long. Its an art few truly understand

  • @Jackofall2345 i defiantly want to be in the film industry, also where can i see your short film when its done?

  • le maître... le cinema avec lui devenait un miracle!!!!!!

  • Kubrick, Leone, Hitchcock. Those 3 make my Mt. Rushmore of directors. I'll leave one spot open, maybe throw Polanski in there, Spielberg. Kubrick is the most creative though I think.

  • Where is he in the last frame of this clip with that girl with the black hair with the fringe or bangs?...also...Kubrick doesn't really look like he was telling the truth as to what he really thinks in this clip...it was a different time back then...so who knows...maybe he did sell his soul to the devil...

  • kubrick had shitty grades and never went to college. the guy's a film-making savant, but he's no genius.

  • @zackhanscom. I hate to break this to you Zack but you should probably check out a biography or two. Most of the greatest people ever to do something interesting or original did not tend to do well at school. The reason is that these people are simply uninterested in the status quo. There is a story about him when he was in school he always copied a friends homework, after this happened many times the friend asked him what was going on. He said "I'm just not interested in it." Genius absolutely

  • @zackhanscom Also... I once dated this girl who studied at Cambridge. She had a degree in international economics and came out with very high marks. As I have an interest in the subject I started querying her one certain aspects of the global economic framework at the time... she didn't know dick. The reason was that anyone can get high marks at college... all you have to do is study. To do what Kubrick did takes real intelligence - real thought

  • @zackhanscom Since when does getting good grades and going to college qualify someone as a genius? What someone does with their career is the real acid test. Einstein and Tesla were known for doing poorly in school as well in their youth.

  • You know... I always imagined Kubrick as having this booming voice. It's weird... I guess it's just the impression I got from his movies, that he was some force of nature. Oh well... he's still awesome and "2001: A Space Odyssey" is easily my favorite of his films.

  • he looks so fucked up

  • That interviewer probably didn't realize that he was in the presence of a genius.

  • i think 2001's message was simply that there is more intelligent life out there. now if only we had all that space travel for real!

  • A genius...Definitely!!

  • Kubrick transcended nationality- his films are for everyone. RIP Stanley, you gave me great joy with your genius.

  • Master.

  • Kubrick was born too early.That's his only mistake

  • Whatever the fuck accent he uses, it is amazing to see him speak for so long uninterrupted!!! What a man.

  • sure well actually i have visually witenssed in the phyrical several different life froms

  • there are a lot of accents in briton...and kubrick sounds well lame
