Which is an interesting contrast. It does have almost a cozy holiday vibe, despite being one of his "coldest" movies in terms of subject
His use of color in the film is the best in his career in my opinion. It's not my favorite film of his and I disliked it on release - but I've since had a reckoning with it and I love it. It's cloned the ranks of his films for me.
the appeal of blue juxtaposed with orange has been exposed time and time again. he didn't do anything special, he was just exploiting a quirk of the human brain.
Or he was just shooting a really good looking fricking film. They used to look like this. They used to have sets and proper lighting. Even a film like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shits all over most current films aesthetics wise.
This is not a particularly evocative or memorable shot. Wow much lightbulb, very bright.
I agree with your broader rant about film vs. digital slop.

I disagree. The choice of where to put the camera - the lighting - the architecture, it's beautiful in my opinion. This is my favorite shot in the entire film anyway. I get the same feeling when I see the scene of Deckard reading his paper in front of the neon on a rainy street.

No, Native Americans don't even exist. They're actually blacks. Whilst simultaneously being Egyptians, Elvis, George Washington, and Alexander The Great.
EWS primarily succeeded because Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are very beautiful, and their real-life marriage was implicated in the public consciousness when this movie was released.

It is easy to mistake "uh huh" as condescension, anon.

It's one of the films I mastutbated to the most on fricking VHS. Christ I'm old. The scene against the tree is an all timer.

For me it's pic related and yes I jerked off to this scene as well. I know I rented it at least once because of the cover.
hard agree, it's so warm from the xmas vibe, which has a certain nostalgic and almost insular kind of warmth. yet we still feel the cold of the winter and of the characters and their activities, that the juxtaposition of all these things gives it some kind of twilight feeling. even at a glance of your picrel it feels off, and i don't like the framing but when i think about it more the piano represents nick and the tree and symbol represent bill. the polarity of their suit colors and demeanors. what does it all mean. . . fake moon landing?

Dumb, boring and tired take.
First, cold and "inhuman" does nor automatically equals bad.
Second, this opinion misses the ending of "Paths of Glory"., one of the most moving moments in film history, to the point of being almost too much.
Kubrick's films are actually filled with feeling. He doesn't draw conclusions for you, though, or tell you what to think about what's happening in his films, so some people mistake that for coldness. He doesn't have Tom Cruise give a big speech at the end articulating what the character thinks about everything that's happened.
He's great, but I think I actually like Lynch more. I'm glad Eyes Wide Shut is experiencing some kind of re-evaluation and is now considered one of his best films.
He was literally autistic. He worked his actors to death because he couldn't properly communicate what he wanted out of them.
Tarkovsky, aren't you supposed to be dead right now?
One word: Watch Barry Lyndon
And Paths of Glory
Barry Lyndon is not a counter example you fricking moron
Barry Lyndon is replete with emotion, it's just kept below the surface. That's the point
The scene where Barry’s son dies is one of the most emotional moments in cinema imho
This and the humour
The shining is his worst or full metal jacket
Full Metal Jacket is a fricking masterpiece
So is The Shining. Kubrick never made a bad film.
checked, but e-girlta is his worst, he was cooking his best shit during the 70s
>This and the humour
It's too dry for Americans to get the narrator is taking the piss the whole time.
Barry Lyndon is a very cold film.
He had no vision of a better world but I appreciate his vicious insight into evil
There is no vision of a better world that is an honest one.
Eyes Wide Shut despite its subject matter is a very warm film.
true

she was very rapeable in that movie
wasn't this using rear projection?
what the frick
Blade runner sucks

Eyes Wide Shut is the only Kubrick film I regularly rewatch. Absolute comfy kino.
Who knew Nick Nightingale would go on to direct Tar? So cash.
Doubly ironic that Cate Blanchett voiced the hooker in EWS.

It's a dream. Read the book. It's basically Cruise thinking/dreaming about sex to get back at Kidmann for hurting his feefees.

I hope he kills himself.
>cold, mechanical and lack humanity.
Translation:
>where are the heckin quips!
>for the love of God... CRACK A JOKE!
Plenty of humour and quips in kubrick films
Full Metal Jacket is a comedy for long stretches. Dr Strangelove is an all out comedy.
his films are emotional you just don't feel him screaming at you in every scene telling you how to feel like aronofsky or some hack
these shill posts are lifeless, performative and lack soul.
He's still better than you. And he's been dead a quarter century.
I've never been a fan. There is not a single Kubrick film I think is very good. The Shining is probably the best.
He is incredibly overrated.
woman moment
Cold, mechanical, and lack humanity? Just wait until you go outside and meet actual people.
Clockwork Orange was his autistic freakout. It sucked.
I am cold, mechanical, and lack humanity so they really connect with me.
He’s a pajeet, literally brown, what were you expecting? Soul? Creativity? He’s literally brown
They said the same thing about Edgard Varése's pieces....
They're mannered, precise and lack melodrama.
Not the same thing.
Kubrick's films are actually filled with feeling. He doesn't draw conclusions for you, though, or tell you what to think about what's happening in his films, so some people mistake that for coldness.

i have no idea how people honestly can say this shit
israelite after all
What's it like to only have one single solitary thought in your brain?
He's great, but I think I actually like Lynch more. I'm glad Eyes Wide Shut is experiencing some kind of re-evaluation and is now considered one of his best films.
watch barry lyndon
its one of the most comfy movies ever along with being one of the most beautiful
Good.
