Ο Γίγαντας Scorsese γράφει για τον Γίγαντα Kubrick

When Eyes Wide Shut came out, a few months after Stanley Kubrick’s death in 1999, it was severely misunderstood, which came as no surprise. If you go back and look at the contemporary reactions to any Kubrick picture (except the earliest ones), you’ll see that all his films were initially misunderstood. Then, after five or ten years came the realization that 2001 or Barry Lyndon or The Shining was like nothing else before or since.

If Kubrick had lived to see the opening of his final film, he obviously would have been disappointed by the hostile reactions. But I’m sure that in the end he would have taken it with a grain of salt and moved on. That’s the lot of all true visionaries, who don’t see the use of working in the same vein as everyone else. Artists like Kubrick have minds expansive and dynamic enough to picture the world in motion, to comprehend not just where its been, but where it’s going.

Συμφωνώ κι επαυξάνω. Ο Stanley Kubrick είναι ένας από τους γίγαντες του κινηματογράφου και γι αυτούς που δεν μπορούν να καταλάβουν το μέγεθος του που απλώνεται άπειρα στις τέσσερις διαστάσεις (τουλάχιστον), πραγματικά μόνο να τους λυπηθώ μπορώ.
