“To make a film entirely by yourself, which initially I did, you may not have to know very much about anything else, but you must know about photography”
--Stanley Kubrick
Stanley Kubrick was born in New York in 1928 on the 26th July, he sadly died on the 7th March 1999. He has directed many famous films like, ‘Killers Kiss’, ‘The Killing’ and ‘A Clockwork Orange’. Films like this brought him to the attention of Hollywood.

Stanley Kubrick first became interested in directing when he was given a camera by his dad on his 13th birthday. At 17 he was offered a job as an apprentice photographer. This soon led him to change his mind and he started to become interested in films, so in 1950 he made a documentary called ‘Day of the Fight’. (www.google.com)
Over the years he made many famous films and documentaries. One of Stanley Kubricks most famous films is called ‘The Shining’ which he made after turning down Directing ‘The Exorcist’. Another famous film he made was called ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. (www.imdb.com). This was not only one of the greatest films ever made, but a landmark in cinema history, he gained a lot of Oscars from this. In 1951, Kubrick's friend, Alex Singer, persuaded him to start making short documentaries for the March of Time, a provider of newsreels to movie theatres. Kubrick agreed, and independently financed ‘Day of the Fight’ (1951). (www.wikipedia.com). Still to this day Stanley Kubrick is known as a ‘Master filmmaker’!
Stanley Kubrick has won over 31 awards for his films and he has had 46 nominations. Some of these films are as follows,
‘Full Metal Jacket’ – Won an Oscar, Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium
‘A Clockwork Orange’ – Won an Oscar, Best Director
‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ – Won as Oscar, Best Effects and Special Visual Effects
‘The Shining’ – Won a Saturn award, Best Director

I chose to do an essay on Stanley Kubrick because I think he was a very passionate and talented director. I think this because not only did he make well known films, but he also made very successful documentaries.
