Cinematography The movie, “Shining,” is directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1980. This film is based on the Stephen King’s novel, The Shining, in 1977. In the lecture, we watched documentary film, “The Making of THE SHINING,” which is filmed by Stanley Kubrick’s seventeen-years-old daughter, Vivian. The Documentary is mostly the Vivian’s vision. The cinematography was shaky and unstable all the time. However, I feel that it created the reality. Usually, the purpose of documentary film is document…

The Stanley Kubrick Theory is a theory involving Stanley Kubrick approached by the United States government years before the moon landing mission to hoax the moon landing and his film 2001: A Space Odyssey was a practice run for him (Foxx).

The fainting and terror experienced in the first screenings of Nosferatu are no more; the 1971 film, A…

expresses that a “male gaze,” in which the audience views a world dictated by heterosexual males, has largely been accepted by the media. Although Mulvey states that the representation of women in film is “vital,” the representation of females in Stanley Kubrick’s film, The Shining (1980), largely reinforces her claims. In the film, Jack is depicted as the stereotypical white, heterosexual, patriarchal figure, while, his wife, Wendy is immediately presented as the devoted, attentive housewife.…

I’ve only seen one Stanley Kubrick film, “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and I liked it very much. For my next foray into the venerated director’s filmography, I watched his previous picture: “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. My recent venture into black comedy with “MASH” didn’t go so well, but I was sure I’d like this Kubrick film.

When it comes to symbolism in films, whole books have been published by various authors on their speculations as to the meaning of the symbolism contained in Stanley Kubrick’s recondite, enigmatic, philosophical, science fiction epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Most obviously from the title, much of the symbolism is derived from Homer’s The Illiad and The Odyssey. Other authors theorize that the film is an allegory to Arthur Clarke’s (novelist of the literary version of the film and co-writer of the…
