"Chess is more for preventing you from making mistakes than...giving you ideas." -Kubrick

In chess, what happens sometimes, is that you have an idea that looks good at first and ends up being bad, but it can open up your horizon for new ideas, possibly better ones, that you wouldn't have seen otherwise. In this analogy one could say that seeing or making mistakes can in some cases open a door to greatness, but it's still a matter of discipline and intellect to spot that greatness behind the mistake.

This should have millions of views, it's great!

Well done. Kubrick continues to fascinate me, even after fifty years.

Just dropping by to say, a) I love this, and b) this video reminded me very much of an experience I had with another director, Alfonso Cuaron, who interestingly enough is also an obsessive chess player. in 2005, I was lucky enough to spend some time watching him at work on set on Children of Men. After a shot was in the can, Alfonso would often go straight to a chess board, together with whoever was the volunteer/ victim of the moment, and stay there for sometimes the entirely of the set-up for the next shot. At one point the fire alarm went off, together with all of the sprinklers. Many of the props on set were paper drawings, so obviously this was a disaster. I was just a visitor, but I pitched in to help get everything removed to safety, and had just started to lift something when I had to jump out of the way as a man came barreling past at top speed, clutching something in his hands. 'Alfonso' someone said. 'Saving his chess game.'

Thank you! I'm almost finished with Episode 3 of The Kubrick Files. Keep an eye out!

A sophisticated game for a sophisticated director making sophisticated movies. Now I get Kubrick's comment he wish to make a movie a year like Woody Allen but he couldn't. Paraphrasing.. I wonder if he ever had the chance to play against the great Bobby Fischer.

@Pimp-Master

Woody Allen himself is a prolific writer, so he moves ahead quicker than most anybody. But, he also admitted that production on a set is always a set of compromises against what you'd like to happen--so pretty much what SK said--that you have to make intuitive choices, because there's no time or money left to analyze the shot.

Always love seeing a new video from you! Great work!

The African-American man shown playing Kubrick is Tony Burton who played boxing trainer Duke in the Rocky films. During the filming of The Shining, Burton beat Kubrick in a game of chess. Kubrick was so incensed that he expanded Burton's part in the movie so he would have to stay on the set and give Kubrick another opportunity to get revenge.

Great video ! Although to be nitpicky, the french interview is an interview with Michel Ciment, probably at Kubrick's home, recorded just so Michel could write a better article + written interview for a French magazine later on, It wasn't for the radio I believe.

Creativity and art are non convex problems, one needs scaffolds if there exists a notion of optimisation, which by definition is what Maths was all along. Most indie to commercial blockbusters can be placed in the spectrum of what they're trying to optimise, Box office, collective experience or self satisfaction.

Interesting bit about the origin of Dr. Smithslov's name, didn't know that. Since HAL's conclusion of the match with Frank was essentially incorrect --- which Kubrick was obviously aware of --- some see that as the first sign that HAL was having problems.

The chess board at 5:21 makes no sense to me. It looks like the beginning of a game where the white rook stands in the wrong position and the white queen is out of the game. What is going on there?

DeeTunez sounds a lot like Boards of Canada in this video.

depends on the context... If the film should be serious... analyse mistakes if not... play on the mistake... exaturate them so they seem intentional

Disappointing: an interesting idea and indeed Kubrik was good at chess. But absolutely no explanation of any *visual* influence on his work, just on the process of film-making (time pressure) - which is such an obvious constraint on all human action that its a point not worth making particularly when other points COULD have been made re: visuality such as tone, contrast, space waste of time to watch this. Disliked.

He was more creatively influenced by his own history with photography. Kubrick, like those photographers that influenced him, were focused on capturing a fluid moment in time; a moment which gave tension to the actions of the subject in the picture. He didn't get anything 'creative' from chess, but it did foster in him the idea that being methodical and patient will make for the most rewarding outcome. His movies reflect the patience and forethought that he learned from chess. This is why he made so few movies, but each took masterful planning in order to be filmed. If it weren't for his love of chess, each of his films would be visually impressive for composition (from photography), but far less impressive in plot and structure (from chess).

Your background music really ruins your vids.

Kubrick is the Lady Gaga of cinema. Brimmed with occult symbolism, huge production budgets, and boring to the gates of hell.
