I think The Grinch should be here.
Yes, all of us who recognize his films are a rare breed. We appreciate Signs and Lady In the Water and even (oh God!) The Happening.
Hulk needs to be included. Please ask, I have more than intelligible reasons for this. It is one of his most visually inventive films and is another great testament to his flexibility.
Roger Hayn has it: Kubrick hated the usual ignorance of leadership of any kind.
A terrific contribution to the art of film. You could take a snapshot from any scene in "the in-between" and hang it in an art gallery.
Watched this for the first time since childhood. I think Roger Ebert missed the boat on this one. This is a fantastic journey through the great stories of an endearing blowhard. The imagery is on par with Burton's earlier work, and as inventive visually as any other "sights and sounds" type directors like Tarsem and Guillermo del Toro. A great work.
Simply a perfect film.
Despite numerous accusations, this film is not, at its core, anti-war. It is "anti-leadership-ignorance".
