Critical opinion on my films has always been salvaged by what I would call subsequent critical opinion.
Stanley Kubrick

You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film—and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level—but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point.

Everybody has their black moments.

Everything has already been done. every story has been told every scene has been shot. it’s our job to do it one better.

The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything, '2001' shows that what some people call 'god' is simply an acceptable term for their ignorance. What they don't understand, they call 'god' -Stanley Kubrick, interview, 1963

The dead know only one thing, it is better to be alive
Stanley Kubrick

In his essay on the uncanny, Das Unheimliche, Freud said that the uncanny is the only feeling which is more powerfully experienced in art than in life. If the horror genre required any justification, I should think this alone would serve as its credentials.
Stanley Kubrick
Image
It's a passion when you're doing it for other people and you're doing it for the people around you making the film and the people who are going to see the film, and the giving. When you start thinking about you doing it for some sort of self-gain, then I think it becomes an obsession. It becomes a negative experience.

There are few things more fundamentally encouraging and stimulating than seeing someone else die.

A film needs more than you can give it in a lifetime.
