Is this the most overrated filmmaker of all time? Kubrick’s entire career is basically a film school entrance exam in disguise. His movies are cold, slow, and emotionally empty.. but if you stare at them long enough, some professor will give you a B+. He made like 10 films in 45 years, and half of them are just expensive mood boards with British people mumbling. He's not discussed because people love his movies, he's discussed because film programs need something to overanalyze while they drain $100k tuition from kids who think pausing Barry Lyndon counts as a personality

>The shining
Completely missed the essence of the book. Half the film is hallway tracking shots and Jack Nicholson breaking his back trying to carry the cast and director. It’s like a haunted hotel directed by someone who’s never heard a human speak naturally
>2001
It’s basically a 2.5-hour screensaver with ape cosplay and an IKEA monolith. Kubrick invented pretentious sci-fi where nothing happens so people could feel smart for being bored.”
>Clockwork Orange
Coooool ultra-violence, Beethoven, and eye makeup or, Hot Topic philosophy class. It’s edge for edge’s sake, and the moral of the story changes like the wind
>Strangelove
British guys doing weird voices It's 90 minutes of Cold War improv with a nuke joke at the end. Political satire for people who think irony is a personality.
>FMJ
Literally no one has watched the second half. Once Pyle blows his brains out and the sergeant dies, the movie flatlines.
>EYES WIDE SHUT
Kubrick took a year to shoot the world’s most boring orgy
>Barry Lyndon
Wow, candlelit cinema..Too bad it's attached to a 3-hour slideshow of the most boring shit ever. If this is art, so is watching paint dry

Did I miss any movies? Cause these are the only ones people have even heard of

>Did I miss any movies?
You're on the money with those ones (although Clockwork Orange is better than that, still truthfu, description suggests especially thanks to the nice in and out scenes).

You missed out
>Spartacus
Which is probably his best film, and
>Lolita
Which is disgusting paedo shite and the Auteur's barely disguised fetish.

That would be ILM coattail riding Spielberg, whose selection for adapting AI was a sick joke.

>>211372021 (OP)
No, he's literally the least overrated out of the "old school" directors. Bergman, Tarkosvky, Bresson etc are all far more overrated. Literally just pretentious nonsense made in languages nobody undeerstands

Have you considered that his is because Kubrick is considered film at it’s finest and what filmmakers should strive for?

>>211372735
Just because something is studied doesn’t mean it’s credible, see the entire sphere of lefty sociopolitical majors

hating kubrick is babys first contrarian film opinion

>>211372021 (OP)
Paths of Glory and Barry Lyndon are pretty tight though've

>>211372865
truly. OP will grow out of it and pretend he never had this phase just like the rest of us and realize he's the only genuine master of cinema to ever do it

>Completely missed the essence of the book
the book really wasnt that deep to begin with, it was one of kings most pedestrian ideas

>>211372021 (OP)
I agree most of the movies you cited are overrated but it's funny how you conveniently ignored Paths of Glory and Spartacus, by far his best and most honest works. But I guess they aren't edgy enough for the kind of people who love le Kubrick.

>filtered by Barry Lyndon
OP sounds like a foid

>>211372021 (OP)
You can only parse morality plays and action movies. Nothing wrong with that. We can't all have at least double digit IQ. Stick to Marvel and Disney.

>Everyone copied this one guy, so now I think all his work was just as cliched as all the copies.
