:43:00
. . .and utter dedication
to moviemaking.
:43:05
It was quite demoralizing at
times when he changed his mind. . .
:43:10
. . .but every time he did,
it was for the better.
:43:14
But I learned a great deal
on that film.
:43:19
Sir, I have a plan.
:43:23
Mein Führer!
:43:25
I can walk!
:43:43
I was kind of shocked by it at first.
:43:45
It was so irreverent, and it was
the height of the Cold War.
:43:48
I was at NYU at the time,
but my friends I saw the film with. . .
:43:53
. . .some were at a Jesuit college called
Fordham, others were street kids.
:43:57
We went to see this movie.
They loved it.
:43:59
And they were conservative.
:44:01
The word on the street was,
"It's great. "

:44:24
Younger audiences loved its
irreverence and anarchic humor. . .
:44:27
. . .but many people saw it
as dangerously subversive.
:44:30
I remember reading a review in,
I think, a Beverly Hills paper. . .
:44:35
. . .where the critic said that Stanley
should be physically harmed. . .
:44:39
. . .for having made that film.
:44:41
Now, that's a pretty bad review,
I must say.
:44:44
I can't remember
any Stanley Kubrick movie. . .
:44:47
. . .that was released
where there wasn't controversy.
:44:50
200 1 I remember very well.
:44:53
I remember Pauline Kael's
review of 200 1.
:44:56
They were not good reviews.
:44:58
And then ten years go by,
and they're all classics.
