I admire the creativity and the scope of his stories. But they are virtually unwatchable to me. There is nothing that brings me back again and again. I ignored this for many years and trumpeted the usual Kubrick-is-a-genius perspective until finally I aged and stopped bullshitting myself any longer.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606584200804572632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439947375989396826.post-43293701121607371092012-10-08T17:45:53.376-07:002012-10-08T17:45:53.376-07:00I was literally on the edge of my seat in the thea...I was literally on the edge of my seat in the theater watching "Eyes Wide Shut." The suspense! <br /><br />I'd read somewhere that, like many famous directors, Kubrick made the same movie over and over again. That is, he told the same story. I agree. His repeated storyline concerned a man's need for control in his life along with his total inability to get it. Kubrick's pictures showcase and are sensitive to the fragile human condition.Moonshadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277057132720569896noreply@blogger.com
