Disruptor | Stanley Kubrick | Anniversary

How does a cinephile express their submission for their auteur? Perhaps, this is how:

My Facebook's cover photo is for the auteur. I haven't changed it since 2015, and I will never.

'If it can be written or thought, it can be filmed'

In the business of film-making, there is no perfectionist. There can't be any. Arguably, only one existed, whose obsession with perfectionism, not only instilled fear in the fraternity, but created phenomenal works, which continue to remain unparalleled. For instance, he made NASA design lens of his camera, there is no genre he hasn't explored. Truly, an innovator, who would have turned 95 today, had he been alive. He was born on July 26, 1928. Birthday wishes maverick Stanley Kubrick. The real auteur.

It's important that I remember this today.

It was envisioned by legendary Stanley Kubrick and adapted, executed by master Steven Spielberg. Its a privilege to get the book on creative collaboration between them on their visionary project A.I ( Artificial Intelligence), which they waited for years for technology to come so as to translate their concepts into reality on the screen. The book essentially deals with Kubrick's conceptual sketches, story treatments, and how Spielberg got roped in and why? Its indeed mind blowing experience to read and understand the great minds.

Even though several epithets are used to classify him, he cannot be fit into any description. He is someone beyond comprehension, who had exploited stories of all sort. His works not only defied conventions of filmmaking standards technically but cultures. He was always ahead of his time. A real authority of cinema.
