Kubrick was really insane and decades ahead of his time. Nearly every film he made was the genesis of some genre in the modern era.

- denton-scratch 4y agoYeah. Spartacus: Swords and sandals. Paths of Glory: WW1 anti-war. Strangelove: I don't know what genre that was. 2001: Space opera. A Clockwork Orange: Dystopian sci-fi. Barry Lyndon: Picaresque costume drama. I haven't checked, but I think the gaps between his movie releases roughly doubled with each release. There are some scenes in these movies that scream "Kubrick". There always seems to be a perspective shot in which the camera is pointing down the centre of some tunnel or corridor. In Paths of Glory it's a trench; in 2001, it's the aisle of the shuttle. It's usually some grand corridor.
