So, I just finished watching Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
Wow.....
Holy mother of all that is good thats one fine film..
The way he used music not just as background, but as part of the story and to create another layer to the charecter...wow....I mean damn...
This is one of my must see films now. I'm now an offical Kebrick fan.
I do have a question to anyone out there with experience filiming or at least with camea angles..or mabey just who knows a bit about Kubricks work. actually two questions, but I'll try to pose them both as one.
While I was watching, I became aware of certain camera angles that I had seen used before in another Kubrick movie I've watched "Full Metal Jacket". Though I dont know how best to describe it, I remember it used in FMJ in the intro sceen while Gunny Sargent was railing all the new recruits..the camera would snap from face to face very quickly in tight close up. So that you would see the speaker in tight and then very quickly snap to the other as he spoke. I know this sounds normal to the avarage movie, but somehow Kubrick does it differently?? Or is it just me....lol. Also I noticed during Clockwork Orange a interesting camara angle used that I wondered again if Kubrick was being original with. The first time we are introduced to the man/wife in the country house, the camara...slides straight across the floor from the man at the desk to the wife at the rather funky chair reading..I cant think of any other movie I've seen this kind of camara play with. Again though I'm not an expert, just very curious about a director I think is amazing.
Anyway. I read on this board a very comendable bio of Kubricks work. I wish now that I had taken the time to write down the name of the person who had done all the hard work (and all the typing! lol) Thank you for introducing me whoever you were though. Next two films I tackle will be "" and "How I fell in love with the bomb".
