BRAVO KUBRICK

>>81599445
Wait a moment... why in the FUCK is that helicopter shadow there?

I thought Stan Kubrick was a perfectionist...

>>81599483
Hes critisizing the false artifice of film making by drawing attention to the helicopter, just as he focuses on the shallow superficiality of the horror genre itself

the ghost the haunts him was a helicopter pilot in the war
its following him to the hotel

>>81599483
It'd be weirder if there wasn't a shadow, because then it be ambiguous as to who or what took the shot. The audience could speculate that aliens took the shot, and are somehow relevant to the plot. But this takes any such speculation out of the question. The shot then becomes more human and grounded, as the audience is made aware that it is in fact the film's crew filming, and they can then focus on the relevant aspects instead of getting suck on what alien may or may not have took the shot.

Because Kubrick is a hack.

>kubrick apologists right on cue

>Stanley there's a shadow of the helicopter in this shot, should we cut that out?
>Fuck! Fuck.... god damnit! FUCK!
>Stanley we can just cut it o...
>No you idiot! It's timed perfectly to line up with Jack's face in the picture at the end, so in 20 years when someone plays it backwards and forwards at the same time it matches up with the car. FUCK! FUCKING SECOND UNIT ASSHOLES!
>Well I mean we could...
>Look just leave it... I'm a fucking legend. They'll say I'm highlighting the superficiality of the medium or some gay shit. Yeah, leave it in! HAHAHA KUBRICK WINS AGAIN HAHAHA!!

You are all unironically retarded, the shadow is there because it's not framed in the original format and was cut out in the original edit but when it was adapted they didn't give as much of a fuck

>>81599664
Showa Godzilla is kino. Kino I say!

...am I the only one who doesnt see it?

Premiss: Stan Kubes knew what was being filmed
Premiss: Stan Kubes knew what cropping was
Premiss: Stan Kubes knew what television aspect ratios were
Premiss: Stan Kubes let it go anyway
Conclusion: Kubes was not a perfectionist

>>81601778
you see the dark tadpole looking dark spot in the bottom right corner? thats a helicopter shadow

>>81601783
>kubrick didn't know that years into the future his movie would be altered and framed wrong by some dipfuck and that says something important about him as a filmmaker

Kubrick contrarians are way worse than kubrick fanboys

The fact that so many people still name Stanley Kubrick as the greatest or most significant or most influential director ever only tells you how far film still is from becoming a serious art.

Contemporary film makers never spoke highly of Kubrick, and for good reason. They could never figure out why his movies should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that Kubrick was simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to the Space Race, which had nothing to do with his film making merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in his (mediocre) films to this day.

Kubrick sold a lot of copies of his films not because he was the greatest director but simply because his films were easy to sell to the masses they had no difficult content, they had no technical innovations, they had no creative depth. He shot a bunch of catchy 3-minute scenes with some decent cinematography. If somebody had not invented the Space Race in 1957, you would not have wasted two minutes of your time reading this post about such a trivial director.

Great job ruining a post just because you're a moron.

>>81601891
Do you know how to read? His shot was the one with the rotor blades slightly visible, he says the shadow (which is what this thread is about) was not his crew

>>81602596
