Kubrick never explained the ending to us, or what his intentions were. He didn't intend for it to be a predictable film.

For me the most moving moment came when I first started working on 2001. I was already in awe of him, and he had very much already become Stanley Kubrick by the time the film started.

Stanley Kubrick went with his gut feeling: he directed 'Dr. Strangelove' as a black comedy. The film is routinely described as a masterpiece.

I do not always know what I want, but I do know what I don't want.

Love can never be fully explained.

Kubrick showed us something special. Every film was a challenge, and a direct assault on cinema's conventions.
