"I felt it was necessary to make this film in such a way that every special-effects shot in it would be completely convincing — something that had never before been accomplished in a motion picture."

2001: A Space Odyssey | Stanley Kubrick | 1968
"I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you."
The Kubrick Stare
"In that showdown, and at several other times in the film, Kubrick indulges his favorite closeup, a shot of a man glowering up at the camera from beneath lowered brows. This was the trademark visual in A Clockwork Orange, and Jack Nicholson practiced it in The Shining. What does it mean? That Kubrick thinks it's an interesting angle from which to shoot the face, I think."
— Roger Ebert
