Yesterday I saw A Clockwork Orange. Man I swear I both love and hate kubrick. All his movies are masterpieces, but they lack empathy and soul.

clockwork orange is the only one of his with kino actors in it.

>FOOD'S ALRIGHT?!?!
>The prison warden guy
>His entire gang of droogs
>His parents
>The school assistant whatever dude
>The hobo

kubrick always missed on most of his casting. like fucking ryan o'neal for real? worst actor ever. full metal jacket is only fun because they're all getting insulted by r. lee ermey non stop, all the actors are terrible

Well, Kubrick was a nihilist.
I still think there hasn't been anyone who has framed films like he did without mentioning those sequences. His closest competitor in those areas in my opinion was Sergio Leone. But Leone only made westerns, so he stagnated in that genre.

It's kind of a gamble. I really like some of the actors, while I don't.
In Lolita, for example, the lead actress is brilliant, not to mention the English playwright who falls in love with her and ruins her life. But I just can't stand Peter Sellers in that movie.I think it's a combination of the character he plays and his whole Jewish comedian act.
On the other hand, Sellers carries the entire film in Dr. Strange Love. Many people believe that his best character in this movie is Mandrake or the aforementioned doctor.For me, he's the president of the United States. I literally couldn't recognize him from the other characters. Not only is his performance completely different from the other two in the same film.
Jack Nicholson is amazing in The Shining, I don't care if people say it's a Reddit performance.
Regarding 2001, I don't think it was a film focused on the actors, it was more of a visual and technical thing.Although the actors who played the homosapiens at the beginning of the film were so brilliant that they fooled everyone into thinking they were actually monkeys and not actors.

i hate this movie
i kept getting told that its such a good movie, its amazing, its a masterpiece
holy fuck, what a scam. its so extremely slow and dull. nothing fucking HAPPENS. you can put your artsy fartsy bullshit on a pedestal all you want, this movie blows. any "message" that you want to convey through this could have been conveyed with a better fucking film. awful pacing, awful costumes, awful script.
>degenerate does crime
>doesnt treat his associates with respect
>gets betrayed
>arrested
>experimental treatment to traumatize/correct him
>it works, but then he faces karma from his old actions (his former friends dont though, lol)
>he's helped by a former victim, but then the guy realizes who he is and turns on him
>attempts suicide
>wakes up to find that the treatment no longer has an effect on him, the guy that tried to get revenge on him got punished, and gets an opportunity to join shady politics
>in the end, its just a circle where nothing mattered, nothing of value happened
dull, empty, and retarded.
