Stanley Kubrick: Kubrick's death and influence
Just a few days after completing the editing of
Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick died from a heart attack, and was interred in Childwickbury Manor, Hertfordshire, England. Citing contractual obligations to deliver an R-rating, Warner Bros. digitally altered one scene for the American release of
Eyes Wide Shut, blocking out images of explicit sexuality.
In the year 2001,
Steven Spielberg filmed
A.I., the uncompleted project that Kubrick had worked on before Eyes Wide Shut. Basing his film on a lengthy treatment by Kubrick, Spielberg clearly directed many scenes to evoke Kubrickian moods, although the sentimentality that prevails throughout the film is alien to Kubrick's aesthetic. The film received a lukewarm response from audiences, and was a box-office disappointment for Spielberg. It was viewed by many as being more Spielberg's film than Kubrick's.
But Kubrick himself broke the boundaries on which major studio films are made, boundaries that other directors such as
Francis Ford Coppola,
George Lucas, and
David Lynch have since followed.

Photographer's comment:
This man stopped by while I was visiting with my friend, Sajid. I remember that he was a building contractor (and a rather busy one considering the 2005 earthquake), but I never caught his name. This is just one of those faces you absolutely have to photograph. Fortunately, my friend was able to translate posing instructions for me, since I don't speak Pari or Urdu.?
