What I have noticed in these montages of directors works, is that no matter how quickly you cut and edit between shots to give that impressive, all encompassing sweeping scope over an artist’s vision, the best director’s work, the Kubricks, the Kurosawas and so on, each and every shot is superbly composed. The effect is like running through an art gallery and glimpsing masterpieces for seconds at a time, before another work is rapidly unveiled.

I looked up notes on the Leopard attack scene in "2001 A Space Odyssey". Found this response on reddit. "It certainly was a real leopard. And it was a semi-controlled environment…at best? From the fascinating book “ “Space Odyssey:Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C Clarke, And The Making Of A Masterpiece”, animal trainer Terry Dugan had nearly a year to work with the leopard as the “Dawn Of Man” shooting schedule kept getting delayed. However, when it came to the day of shooting that scene, the leopard had never encountered Dugan in the man-ape suit before…let alone the studio lights and constant set commotion. Plus, the central man-ape actor (“Moonwatcher”) participated in the scene - despite having no prior exposure to the leopard. (Other actors were added to the scene in post-production.) So in short, it was a little chaotic. And only a few takes with the leopard attack were attempted. But they got what they needed…plus a happy accident: when reviewing the footage, they noticed that the lighting produced an eerie effect on the leopard’s eyes, making it even more menacing. Kubrick was ecstatic."

The camera was then in the path of reflection from the Scotchlite behind the mirror, which was still transparent enough on the back side to let the whole thing reached the film.

And also making the point that 4 million years of evolution, on a cosmic scale, is not worth bothering about.

Kubrick’s ability to continuously place the camera in the right spot is a God given talent. There is a such thing as setting up a shot incorrectly and Kubrick seldom did, if at all.

Kubrick was one of the few (if not the only one) who could do a film that would make sense narratively for the less educated and at the same time a trip for the more educated. True vertically integrated films, a master of the craft. The way he did it by adding dimensions to EVERY SINGLE THING that shows up in that rectangle is fascinating and inspiring, no wonder he took a decade to make a film. I say he was probably the only one, because he did it consistently in all his films after the studio "period". Also the way he directed actors was always a bit robotic in his own style not based on reality, or natural acting, but a way to enforce whatever idea he had for it. Truly original and missed.

This is fucking genius - I want more of his perspective on other genius level art - this is tremendous!

“Apes & Space” was the original name of The Joe Rogan Experience

Say what you want about his personal choices, Louis CK is also a great filmmaker. There are moments in his TV show that were as good as any of the best directing done today.

I never knew much of Kubrick but me and my dad watched “The Killing” on one of those late night film noir tv channels and I loved it. It was so weird and exciting for its time, especially the scene filmed in first person view. I watched some of his later movies afterwards, it’s cool to see how he progressed. I wonder if there will be anyone even close to Kubricks ability to captivate people for half a century anytime soon

CK calling Kubrick a weird man for Eyes Wide Shut is like the pot calling the kettle black. It's laughable knowing CK. Nothing weird about him. He was always a recluse who likes film and nothing else that comes with it. He would do whatever it took to make sure his film was perfect and according to his vision and if people thought he was weird for it, so be it. It was based on a 1926 German book called Traumnovelle. Lot of the elements of the film came directly from that book including all the secret society sex stuff. Lot of ignorant people try to correlate many aspects of the movie with current happenings, Kubrick's inner thoughts, Cruise/Kidman's personal lives and other mumbo jumbo. It has nothing to do with all that. Kubrick had it in mind to translate this book into film since the early 70's. He worked and obsessed with it so hard that he ended up dying from it and Cruise/Kidman subsequently divorced after the 15 months it took to make the film. It is a work of genius and like many of his films, it gets better with every viewing. There are lot of easter eggs he includes in all of his films and this one is no exception. People have their own interpretation of it and all of his other films and he does this deliberately. It's one of my favorite films of his and something I enjoy watching around Christmas.

My favorite Kubrick movie? All of them!!

A lot of great takes, except for everything said about Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick: “The idea that a movie should be seen only once is an extension of our traditional conception of film as entertainment rather than art.” - this applies the most to his last film, where the film works by itself but is significantly enhanced by A) repeated viewings, and B) and understanding of the circumstances of how the film came about and everything that happened behind the scenes. That film is so broad - about a bourgeoise marriage and its vapidity, yes, but also about the nature of fantasy vs reality, the blurring of the two, the unimaginative male fantasy, the fragility of the male ego. The fact that it's set in New York but it doesn't look like New York at all I believe is completely intentional. Same with that scene where Cruise is walking on a sidewalk - he's actually walking on a treadmill with a background projected behind him. They could have EASILY filmed that scene conventionally, one has to wonder why if not to enhance the feeling of illusion, which is felt in the relationship between Cruise and Kidman's on-screen relationship (interestingly paralleled with their 'real world' off screen relationship and subsequent collapse - one also has to wonder how real that ever was, a Hollywood power-couple). As I get older and older I think my appreciation and respect for that film only deepens.

THE SHINING; truly shows Kubrick’s mastery of shot composition more than anything else

You can hear the passion in Louie’s voice. He was really contributing to film and tv but he got in trouble for playing with himself. Now we’re not allowed to enjoy him. Awesome…..

Kubrick saw the world from a peep-hole or a Camera lens. He was observing things not living them from a distance and that's the signature in all his movies.

Louis speaks with an authority I imagine you can only do from writing a stupid amount. He doesn't just break down what is presented he appreciates what was created like a fellow craftsman. He knows people constantly try to take others work and attempt to make it more consumable which sucks. Rise to the material don't try to lower it to some made up acceptable standard.

The wide shots of Africa in 2001 where aquired by a young man directly at Kubricks request, none where taken in U.S.A. everything else in the Dawn of man Sequence was shot on a sound stage in England.

He had a wife. Louie CK makes it sound like Kubrick died a recluse or a hermit. He lived in the country with his wife. He was a bit paranoid of people in general, the general public, because he got death threats, and the press blamed him for crime. when A clockwork orange came out. The British press blamed him for some specific crimes that may have been inspired by that movie. Kubrick pulled it from the theaters in Britain and bandit from being shown there ever. Kubrick was a genius and geniuses are supposed to go mad. He didn’t go mad, he died.

No mention of Clockwork is criminal.

They were not pigs, they were peccaries. I'm glad you like Kubrick as much as I do. BY the way, both of my parents were from Hungary, just to give you some idea of how bad it can get. You are attentive, which makes you such a wonderful comedienne. The concept of Kubrick not offering easy answers, makes his films far more realistic, even my 8-year-old son loved 2001, as it isn't a solution to anything, and he lays no claim to any solutions. What he makes clear is that life in uncertain, and we must meet new challenges, Kubrick is not an instructor, merely am attentive creative guy who I miss.

Almost like an echo of the cinema of Kubrick's youth? The use of artifice, of the sound stage, as art & artifice to foreground reality, to make the real more real, tyransumted? And yet ... Eyes Wide Shut, like the films of Tarkovsky, like La Strada, feels as though filmed at the speed of one's feet. It takes that slow film-making to act as a palliative to the quick glimpses we miss from faster travel (an image emerges within me, the cover of Night of the Wolverine). It's a mode of being that changes our perspective on everything just as Stoic practices & the POV of deep time change how we perceive & realise what really is of importance after all. It's a process of both maturation & reflection, and that's what Eyes Wide Shut feels to me from the hindsight of knowing this is Kubrick's final film....

It kills me when people mention Nolan & Kubrick in the same breath as if they are equals. Kubrick was singular. A master.

Gotta love that some passable monkey man costumes and the most basic movie prop design ever are enough to blow louie's mind. It is a surreal scene due to framing and context, but not so much I can't fathom how they filmed it.

My brother and I saw 2001 on magic mushrooms once...It was a difficult watch

I went to a 70mm screening of it on acid. Blew my mind. Being among so many people was incredibly anxiety-inducing though.

So I think it's clear Louis didn't understand Eyes Wide Shut when he recorded this. Definitely an opus film. Kubrick saw filmmaking as on par with classical painting and wanted to raise the bar of the entire medium in general. Many of his movies work on multiple levels beyond just themes.

Agreed, if anyone tells me that they think Eyes Wide Shut is Kubrick's single best film I wouldn't argue with them. It's his most obtuse, layered film by far, his most open to interpretation. The more you think about that film that more it both makes and doesn't make sense. It's a work of art, that's for sure.

It sounds like Louis is watching the movie on mute during the interview

There is something about a Kubrick film...especially Eyes Wide Shut...that movie has some interesting symbolism to it

I'm such a big fan of Louis, especially his later TV work like "Louie" and most of all "Horace & Pete". And I was so happy to learn today that he also appreciate Kubrick, one of my favorite directors of all times. Btw, regarding the leopard scene. It looked so real because it was! They actually let a leopard attack a guy in a freakin' ape costume and let it maul him for a couple of minutes! Working with Kubrick must have been insane at times! ^^

Louis is a brilliant mind

I know a lot of people don’t like it, but I love eyes wide shut! It’s a Christmas time drunk movie night flick for me haha

Louis obviously really pays attention to things. Amazing breakdown.

This is really a very good discussion on Kubrick. I never caught that cockroach scene in PoG, until now. Thanks!

I've watched a couple of these videos now, and I had no idea Louis could've had another career as a film critic, his analysis of film is fuckin great, like better than anyone else I know(which is kind of mind blowing), but I have to ask, does the other guy ever get a fuckin word in? You might as well edit out all his "but", "yeah", "and", "well", etc

No one quite like him, before or since

Funny how perceptions are- I think Eyes Wide Shut is better than Dr. Strangelove

Great director. But 58 takes. Dam. No wonder Harvey Kitel walked.

Genius! Stanley was good too.

Film is literature. by the way, Trumbo was very good.

So, basically, Louie ate a BUNCH of thc edibles, rewatched Kubrick's entire catalog, and just started talking. Cool.

Floyd, not Joyce. And the monolith was not hot. The apes had never touched anything smooth before.

There's too much explanation in films today, and not enough mystery.

2001 opens with The Monolith and goes straight to a boob joke made out of the planets.

This was Kubricks audition for the "real" moon landing
