Lucas Ramirez’s Reviews > Critical Insights: Film - Stanley Kubrick > Status Update

I am currently on one of the final parts that I can read, due to the deadline of the library being on Febuary 4th. But I will try to finish it as quickly as I can. This part is going over the mechanical elements in some of Stanley Kubrick's films.

This essay in the book covers the film "Dr. Strangelove" and the behind the scenes with some extra tidbits.

This essay in the book covers "Dr. Strangelove" as it talks about some of the behind the scenes, and some of the other parts of the film.

The book is now covering Doctor Strangelove "How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.".

The killings philisophical messaging is wrapped up, talking about stuff like the films use of backwards telling. Starting with the ending of the film then going back to the start of the film.

Talked about old films that I do enjoy, like the searchers, journey to the moon, and the great train robbery. I feel personally feel like I may not be able to finish the book in time before I need to turn it into the library, since it took me around 1 month and 10 days before I got to page 100.

Talks originally about the restoration of 3 "Lost" films, then went into detail about each one of the films. I find this book pretty fun to read.

I found out about one of Kubricks other films: "Killers kiss". Which honestly I will not watch because it sounds like a romance. But there is a lot of other things that I feel like make Kubrick a great director.

The information of this book is ABSO LUTELY amazing. The fact of people originally not understanding Kubricks films till around 5 years later as they do not understand some of the complex ideas that are illustrated in the films, like the idea of nuclear armaggedon in "Doctor Strangelove".

pretty great story. The stories being told about Kubrick are pretty fascinating to read. My personal favorite that I WANT to watch from the films said is "A clockwork orange".
