Did You Know?

Personal Quote:

To make a film entirely by yourself, which initially I did, you may not have to know very much about anything else, but you must know about photography. See more »

Trivia:

According to Kirk Douglas, Kubrick allegedly wanted to take credit for the Spartacus screenplay that was primarily written by Dalton Trumbo. Trumbo, who was blacklisted at the time, originally was going to use the alias Sam Jackson. During the production of the film, Otto Preminger announced he had hired Trumbo to write the screenplay for Exodus... See more »

Trademark:

One of his signature shots was "The Glare" - a character's emotional meltdown is depicted by a close-up shot of the actor with his head tilted slightly down, but with his eyes looking up - usually directly into the camera. Examples are the opening shot of Alex in A Clockwork Orange, Jack slowly losing it in The Shining, Pvt. Pyle going mad in _full Metal Jacket_ and Tom Cruise's paranoid thoughts inside the taxicab in Eyes Wide Shut. Even HAL-9000 has "The Glare" in 2001: A Space Odyssey. See more »
