Mine is 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Is that where we're headed?
Towards becoming balls of energy, like babies again. Floating through the universe.
Makes you think about evolution, where we've come from, where we'll go.
We were apes, some of the apes got clever and the others began to copy the clever ones. We developed tools, homes, farming, sewage, transportation.
The question that always remains is why.
true, so true
not unprofessional, it's what makes life life
i know , sometimes people are funny without meaning to be --- this is me being highly "unprofessional" i just start giggling in the corner
not a joke. I assume he is a film type and you've listed some films.
As he is an 'artistic' type I tend not to be interested.
still laughing funniest ever
LMAO ! funniest reply today
Who's Stanley Kubick?
He did a load of brilliant films. And so different!
Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita, Dr Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and Barry Lyndon are his best in my mind. I thought in Eyes Wide Shut he'd lost the plot apart from the music. But at his best in those films there was nothing to touch him!
I hear that there are real clockwork-orange style attacks on homeless people in some places.
David Bowie made a track where he sings using Alex's dialect, with some newer words that were pure Bowie. On his last album.
Hey, thanks Aidie! I used a similar piece for my earlier incarnation here as nexus9.
These are paper-based but I do a lot of canvas-based works too.
The idea was to put this on my avatar but I can't do it
just looked at your bio I love your abstract painting
A Clockwork Orange is really deep, I wish more people would watch it. Alex is a product of his society, he's messed up but that's because he lives in an industrial hard place.
That's almost impossible to answer!
Too many absolute classics.
But probably Space Odyssey, followed closely being with Clockwork Orange and The Shining
I quite liked the interpersonal element to it.
Eyes Wide Shut is an erotic thriller or is it about gangbangs among the elites? You decide.
I'll need to watch a couple more of his. I have Barry Lyndon on my watch list. It has been a couple of decades since I watched 2001 and I imagine I'll get more out of it as an adult.
Eyes Wide Shut was quite striking. The general underlying discomfort the film has is quite interesting. Nothing too much really happens but throughout, there's a constant tension and uneasiness and that strikes me as separating it from a lot of other films which tend to go with more of a 'tension and release'. In Eyes Wide Shut, the tension and unease seems always just under the skin for some reason. I might need to re-watch that one again too as that was also a long time ago since I watched it.
