Personal Quote:

I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker. See more »

Trivia:

Kubrick owned much of his own 35mm cinema camera equipment, which allowed him to make custom modifications to achieve particular effects. It also helped reduce the budgets of his films, since none of the cameras or lenses had to be rented. See more »

Trademark:

Slow-paced dialogue; often had actors pause several beats between line delivery. Also, rarely (if ever) did his dialogue overlap. See more »
