A Short Bio and Review:
Stanley Kubrick born in New York on July 26, 1928, was an American director, writer, producer, and photographer of films, and lived in England during most of the last 40 years of his career. Stanley’s father gave him a camera for his thirteenth birthday and Stanley became an avid photographer and by the age of seventeen he was offered a job  as an apprentice photographer.

He had four films under his belt when he made his first UK film called Lolita in 1962, followed by 2001 Space Odyssey and A Clockwork Orange.  He turned down the offer to direct the sequel to The Exorcist and instead made another horror film called The Shining.  It is well known that Stephen King disliked the way Stanley adapted his story for the big screen.

Seven years would go by before Stanley would direct again, this time with Full Metal Jacket in 1987 which was highly acclaimed. He was set to work on the film A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) but unfortunately Full Metal Jacket, would be his last film.

Stanley Kubrick passed away on March 7, 1999 but his legacy lives on and is widely acknowledged as one of the most accomplished and influential filmmakers in cinema history.
