The message has got over, even though
we didn't intend one specifically.
1:01:07
Stanley wanted to create
an experience.
1:01:13
People will get messages from it
according to their own philosophies.
1:01:18
200 1 received a National Catholic
Award for its imaginative vision. . .
1:01:23
. . .of man's creative encounter
with the universe.
1:01:26
Some turnaround for Kubrick,
who had so upset. . .
1:01:29
. . .the Catholic legion of decency
with Lolita.
1:01:32
200 1 also won an Academy Award
for best visual effects.
1:01:36
As the film's director and designer. . .
1:01:38
. . .Kubrick received
his only ever Oscar.
1:01:41
It was that kind of process. . .
1:01:45
. . .of personally taking
control of not only the people. . .
1:01:49
. . .the technology, the art
and the craft of making movies.
1:01:52
He was it.
He embodied the whole thing.
1:01:55
And he invited actors,
cinematographers. . .
1:01:58
. . .and production designers to come
into his family and collaborate. . .
1:02:03
. . .which for some was difficult.
1:02:05
After working with him on 200 1, I
swore I'd never work for anybody again.
1:02:10
Stanley was a hell of a taskmaster.
1:02:13
He was difficult and demanding.
1:02:15
His level of quality control was
just astronomically near perfection.
1:02:20
I found, as a young guy, this was hard.
1:02:23
His mind was so insatiable
and so active. . .
1:02:27
. . .that he could barely sleep,
he could barely stop.
1:02:31
I saw that Stanley Kubrick worked
and lived his work seven days a week. . .
1:02:36
. . .almost 24 hours a day.
1:02:37
And I think he had a hard time
keeping up with his own intellect.
1:02:42
Kubrick now turned to a mighty
historical character. . .
1:02:45
. . .whose triumphs, failures and
personality fascinated him: Napoleon.
1:02:50
Napoleon is still in his grave,
waiting to be brought back to life.
1:02:55
I wonder what Napoleon would think
of Lew Wasserman and David Picker.
1:02:59
Whether he would've liked to have them
passing judgement on his life.
