Full Metal Jacket
A review of stanley kubrick's entertaining Vietnam war film. Includes insight as to why kubrick's commentary was a failure in this film.
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Forum/6370/fullmetaljacket.html

Extractions: Director Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" is a Vietnam film that is not as affecting as it is entertaining. However, that is not a fatal flaw to the overall value of this film since it does feature one of the greatest film segments ever based on the military. The first half of this film, which takes place on a Marine boot-camp, is so dynamic with cruel conformity and colorful, inventive vulgarities that the second half of the film, set in Vietnam, almost suffers dramatically by comparison. There is little doubt that the boot-camp segments of this film is superior to the exploration of the soldier's attitudes and battle encounters in Vietnam of the film's second half. This superiority stems from two blistering performances by real-life drill sergeant R. Lee Ermey and Vincent D'Onofrio as Private Pyle, a slothful enlistee transformed into a disturbed and homicidal product. Ermey as Sergeant Hartman is cruel, intimidating and shockingly hilarious in his belittlements of his grunts. A viewer simply cannot take their eyes off this compelling performance since every moment featuring Hartman is a gem. D'Onofrio, on the other hand, is a despicable blend of stupidity and incapability and his acute transformation to a snapped man is subtlely magnificent. While the boot-camp scenes are absorbing in their well-oiled mechanations of transforming these men into lethal killers, the Vietnam aspect of this film does not contain a clear direction. The drama of the second-half of "Full Metal Jacket" lags considerably after the dramatic gold-mine of the Perris Island trainings. It still does have its moments, however. The sniper scene in a Vietcong village and the bizarre Mickey Mouse sing-along which closes the film (standard oddness from Kubrick) are great moments. Alas, they cannot compete with the brilliant opening montage of the recruits being shaved bald, the recruits vulgar introduction to Hartman, Pyle's brutal beating by his fellow troops or Pyle's homicidal/suicidal showdown in the barracks head.

A Clockwork Orange
Play's review of stanley kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Forum/6370/clockwork.html

Extractions: "A Clockwork Orange" is Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, a true "horrorshow" that leaves nary a psyche unaffected. Brutal violence, unabashed misogyny and reckless societal reconditioning are the unflinching characteristics of this "future caution" tale. I say "future caution" because that is my interpretation of the title. That is not what is meant by either author Anthony Burgess or Kubrick, but it is fitting. "A Clockwork Orange" is set in the future and spins the ultra-violent tale of Alex and his gang (droogs) partaking in societal mayhem activities, such as, rape, assault, burglary, theft and murder. Since these are also contemporary criminal woes to society (both in the 1970s and late 1990s), the title can be interpreted as an ironic warning to nurture our young now, so the future does not look identical. "Clockwork" meaning forward or future, "Orange" meaning caution. "A Clockwork Orange" boasts one of the wildest and degraded lead performance ever. As Alex, the tale's protagonist, Malcolm McDowell gives an insanely stunning performance. From the blackly hilarious and violent "Singin' In The Rain" rendition to the "viddy" of sadistic films as a re-conditioning, McDowell is an attention vacuum. There is no way to escape his disturbing presence whether watching him inflict violence with symphonic style or receiving demeaning reactions. McDowell does both with an unflinching performance.

Barry Lyndon
Pr©sentation et analyse du film de stanley kubrick, photos et liens.
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/edwood/barry_lyndon.htm

Extractions: "It was in the reign of George III that the above-named personages lived and quarreled ; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now." Certains ont eu du mal à cerner la psychologie de Redmond Barry. Souvent émouvant, parfois cruel, opportuniste et violent, Redmond Barry n'est pas un "héros" hollywoodien. C'est au contraire une figure humaine (décidément), avec toutes ses contradictions. Barry a ses grandeurs et ses faiblesses, ses ambitions et ses passions. Barry Lyndon n'est pas un film cynique, bien au contraire, c'est un film gorgé de la complexité humaine, des ses imperfections et de ses instants héroïques. Ainsi Kubrick pourra enchaîner des scènes d'adultères froides et des scènes déchirantes de rapports père/fils. Et cette émotion jamais gratuite, jamais mielleuse, en est d'autant plus foudroyante. Comme avec 2001, Kubrick a dompté la technique la plus sophistiquée pour la mettre au service de son histoire, des ses idées, de ses caractères. Et il y réussit encore mieux que dans l'Odyssée de l'Espace. Car dans Barry Lyndon, si l'on reste subjugué d'un bout à l'autre par l'incroyable perfection esthétique, il ne faut pas plus de dix minutes pour s'immerger totalement dans les enjeux de cette biographie qui ne se veut pas exemplaire.

MetroActive Movies | The Brandon Teena Story
Richard von Busack's article about the movie incorporates Greek mythology and stanley kubrick into the review.
http://www.metroactive.com/papers/sfmetro/02.15.99/brandonteenstory-9905.html

Extractions: This Charming Man: The charismatic life and horrific death of Brandon Teena The tragic 'Brandon Teena Story' By Richard von Busack In one version of an ancient Greek myth, the clairvoyant Tiresias was transformed from male to female. Jupiter then struck him blind as punishment for answering the question whether men or women enjoy sex more. Those born between sexes, as Teena Brandon was in Nebraska in 1973, have a sort of secret knowledge that the rest of us can only guess at it, bounded as we are by the fact of our own gender. The envy that knowledge arouses can be fatal. The young Brandon, who switched his/her name to Brandon Teena when taking a male identity, is the subject of the harrowing documentary The Brandon Teena Story , playing at the Castro Feb. 19-25. The documentary is an obsessive, deeply researched study of the last year of Brandon's lifea life that ended with murder just weeks after his/her 21st birthday. Filmmakers Susan Muska and Greta Olafsdottir interview the dozen or so people who knew Brandon in the small town of Falls City, Neb. The scrupulous details make this story all the more sickening. The worst part of the film is an audiotape and transcription of Brandon's interview with the sheriff, shortly after Brandon was driven out to a field and raped twice on Christmas Eve 1993. On the tape, then-Sheriff Charles Laux of Richardson County makes it plain that he has no compassion for freaks and makes the experience as degrading as possible for Brandon.

Dr. Strangelove
Play's review of stanley kubrick's insanely humorous Cold War black comedy.
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/Forum/6370/drstrangelove.html

Extractions: Director Stanley Kubrick's silly apocalyptic paranoia tale is a wondrous and terrifying black comedy. This Cold-War comedy was the first of several Kubrickian masterpieces and resonates with the same exploration in frightening societal possibilities portrayed in his later classics. An insane general orders a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union after becoming convinced that the Russians are subversively contaminating "our precious bodily fluids." So starts a very unique blend of madness, mayhem and even suspense as the incompetent politicians of both countries try to sort out the mess before US war planes cause nuclear annihilation. One of the greatest moments of this wickedly amusing film is the conversation between the President of the United States and the drunk Russian Premier. Irreverency has never been displayed with more hysteria than in this uproarious exchange. Peter Sellers stars in three separate and hysterical roles as the President of the United States, an inquisitive officer and a mad German inventor. As the slightly unhinged Dr. Strangelove, Sellers is a classic cinematic treasure, as is his rebellious hand that steals every scene it runs rampant in. George C. Scott as the blood-thirsty, "Russkie" hating General Turgidson is hysterical, as is the wrestling match between him and the Russian Ambassador in the Pentagon War Room. Seller's line of "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!", the reluctance of a by-the-book soldier to shoot a Coke machine to save the world and Sterling Hayden's "General Jack D. Ripper" are only a couple of examples of the rich ironic flavor of this masterpiece. Hayden's "Ripper" is a fine example of the insanity of nuclear possibility.
The Kubrick Site: The Rolling Stone Interview
Interview of stanley kubrick.
http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/amk/doc/0077.html

Extractions: He didn't bustle into the room and he didn't wander in. Truth, as he would reiterate several times, is multifaceted, and it would be fair to say that Stanley Kubrick entered the executive suite at Pinewood Studios, outside London, in a multifaceted manner. He was at once happy to have found the place after a twenty-minute search, apologetic about being late and apprehensive about the torture he might be about to endure. Stanley Kubrick, I had been told, hates interviews. It's hard to know what to expect of the man if you've only seen his films. One senses in those films painstaking craftsmanship, a furious intellect at work, a single-minded devotion. His movies don't lend themselves to easy analysis; this may account for the turgid nature of some of the books that have been written about his art. Take this example: "And while Kubrick feels strongly that the visual powers of film make ambiguity an inevitability as well as a virtue, he would not share Bazin's mystical belief that the better film makers are those who sacrifice their personal perspectives to a 'fleeting crystallization' of a reality [of] whose environing presence one is ceaselessly aware.' " One feels that an interview conducted on this level would be pretentious bullshit. Kubrick, however, seemed entirely unpretentious. He was wearing running shoes and an old corduroy jacket. There was an ink stain just below the pocket where some ball point pen had bled to death "What is this place?" Kubrick asked. "It's called the executive suite," I said. "I think they put big shots up here."

Moon Hoax, The
Credits stanley kubrick's cinematography as being the inspiration for NASA's purported lunar landing hoax.
http://www.galactic-guide.com/articles/8S12.html

Extractions: Great North Wind ( gnwind@io.org ) wrote: Does anyone really believe that human beings have actually set foot on the moon? I don't know, but I believe that if it wasn't for the sci-fi feats of Kubrick in 2001, the American brain trust would have offered us only audio of the so-called moon landing. It was 2001 that showed NASA how to stage a moon landing. Excellent observation. In fact, in early 1968, Mr. Kubrick was secretly approached by NASA officials who presented him with a lucrative offer to "direct" the first three moon landings. Initially Kubrick declined, as "2001: A Space Odyssey" was in post-production at the time, but NASA sweetened the deal by offering to allow Mr. Kubrick exclusive access to the alien artifacts and autopsy footage from the Roswell crash site. NASA further leveraged their position by threatening to publicly reveal the heavy involvement of Mr. Kubrick's younger brother, Raul, with the American Communist Party. This would have been an intolerable embarrassment to Mr. Kubrick, especially since the release of "Dr. Strangelove".
