What makes the latter half of Kubrick’s career unique is a life-long ambition to make a film about the Holocaust. However, the subject matter not only depressed him on an unimaginable level but he also felt that a single film could not properly summerize everything the Holocaust done to humanity.
On top of that, Kubrick’s repertoire focuses on plans going horribly wrong whereas the Final Solution was a plan gone horribly right! These reasons, along with Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List” was what made Kubrick back off making such a picture.
If you look at his last few films, especially “The Shining,” you will witness staggering allegories to genocide and Nazism. They are eloquently explored in the book “The Wolf at the Door: Stanley Kubrick, History, and the Holocaust” by Geoffrey Cocks.
Great but dubbed over 3 years ago
I remember watching this film YEARS ago in world history class and was so engrossed in it that I never noticed any faults suggesting dubbing.
