Well, i'm talking about when steven said something to the effect of: He has a way of giving out information(in terms of telling a story I assume), in a way that the audiences are not necessarily used to receiving it .
So therefore, having said that, wouldn't that mean,that the way lucas told the stories in the prequels similar to the way Kubrick told stories, in a way?
Or am I just off my rocker once again on this one? Maybe, maybe not?
And, are there any similarities to 2001 and the prequels in terms of telling a story? I say, maybe. Or am I just reaching a bit here? |

I believe Kubrick was a talented and exacting 'LOOK' fashion photographer who could "appropriate" images brilliantly, lifting from Pavel Klushantsev to Diane Arbus and way beyond ...  |

Kubrick wasn't a storyteller. He was a visual stylist. More of an experimental filmmaker.
He didnt really care about characters or audience sympathy for them.
He had access to lots of studio money-and was allowed to indulge himself regardless of audiences and commerce.
Like Woody Allen.
It would be interesting to see what Kubrick would accomplish if he had a limited budget, and just 1 or 2 actors, no access to classical music or fancy cinematography.
The same could be asked of Spielberg and other filmmakers though.
I could imagine Scorsese wouldnt have as much of a problem, but directors who are not known to be actor-friendly, would have.

I remember the quote now:
'sometimes the way Kubrick decided to tell his stories was antithetical to the way we as consumers were not used to receiving stories.'
In a way I think that applies to the prequels, because it's fantasy storytelling in a way that we are not used to?
If that makes sense.

You’re describing Nolan, who is far from Kubrick Kubrick cared enough about his characters for them to experience growth and decay. His films are very emotional. Barry Lyndon was an assault on the senses, for example. You need to watch what you write down. |

Barry Lyndon was an assault on the senses, for example. You need to watch what you write down. No, I dont particularly like Nolan but his characters have more emotional center. Kubrick's are totally cold. We feel nothing for Bowman or Alex or Jack. I am not talking about the uses of visuals or sound-just characters and dialogue. Kubrick was never interested in that. The one film where it exists--Spartacus-is mostly due to Douglas and others and I believe Kubrick didnt consider it one of his, officially. |

I can't understand the link with Lucas. I explained it in my second reply , see above. I maybe didn't do a good job of explaining it, that's the thing. But then, you gotta watch the Spielberg video to put it in context.

I don't think Lucas is the same type of visual storyteller as Kubrick |
