The enormous intensity
that Stanley had. . .
2:10:04
. . .with his work,
he also applied to his family.
2:10:09
I always felt very much loved,
and so did the children.
2:10:14
He was consistent. . .
2:10:18
. . .in that he always said,
"Either you care or you don't. "
2:10:23
Well, Stanley was always a man
who never wanted to repeat himself.
2:10:28
He reinvented himself with every
single motion picture he directed.
2:10:33
As a filmmaker, you know, for me. . .
2:10:37
. . .he was a conceptual illustrator. . .
2:10:40
. . .of the human condition.
2:10:42
You say, "I wish he'd made more,
but these were enough. "
2:10:46
Because there's so much
in each one, you know?
2:10:49
It would've been nice for him
to make more. . .
2:10:51
. . .but that wasn't his process.
2:10:53
What he did make was so special, a
different movie each time you see it.
2:10:57
I think, as a director. . .
2:10:59
. . .I think that what we all
admired the most. . .
2:11:02
. . .was that it was a single vision.
2:11:04
It was one man's vision, and no one
interfered with that vision.
2:11:08
The complete control he had
in the making of his films. . .
2:11:12
. . .that meant that whatever was in
his head, was up there on the screen.
2:11:16
I know that he struggled a lot
to get to that place.
2:11:20
I think it is something that all
of us have benefited from.
2:11:24
Two major artists were
Orson Welles and Stanley. . .
2:11:28
. . .in terms of being, you know,
genuine. . .
2:11:33
. . .no-holds-barred artists.
2:11:35
So I would put him in the pantheon. . .
2:11:38
. . .of the absolute top film directors
that the world has seen.
2:11:43
And he was one of the people
that sort of knew. . .
2:11:50
. . .what was wrong with the world
in a weird way. . .
2:11:54
. . .and was able to turn that into art.
2:11:57
He just didn't grouse about it. . .
