CAMPUS FLICKS:
Kubrick exerts control

By JAMES VALK
This weekend,:Mediatrics closes out the
winter semester with another encore
showing of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A
Space Odyssey. Needless to say, the film
is one of the great landmarks in cine-
matic history, standing well on its own
merits. Yet to dwell on an intellectual
interpretation would ultimately prove
repetitious, conjecturious and strictly per-
sonal. On these grounds, the film will be
set aside,
In its place, however, is the real force
behind the power of the film - director,
producer, co-screenwriter and special
photographic effects1 designer Stanley Ku-
brick.
In strictly cinematic terms, Stanley Ku-
brick is a phenomenon. Starting as a pho-
tographer fo Look magazine, he turned
his experience to film, making a 16 min-
ute documentary entitled Day of the Fight
for RKO.
Forming his own production company
in 1953, Kubrick produced,' directed, pho-
tographed, and edited Fear and Desire, a
film which he today labels "undramatic
and embarrassingly pretentious."
Complete with the experience of having
made a feature length film, Kubrick mov-
ed under the banner of United Artists,
making Killer's Kiss in 1955 and The
Killing a year later. It wasn't until 1957
that Kubrick produced his first commer-
cial film, Paths of Glory.
The result was an immaculate work
that glowed with Kubrick's technical mas-

fears are overlaid.-
Similar qualities characterize
much of the poet's older work
as well. $uch- poems as ".The
Man in the Dead Machine"
"Christmas Eve 'in' Whitne-
ville," and "Digging" exemplify
this.
What distinguishes them from
Hall's most recent work is their R
tendency to deal with those'
fears indirectly, to place them
outside of the poet himself.
Thus, he understands his own Mi

tery of the medium, and proved him to
be a filmmaker with a sense of cinematic
control and execution.
In the following years, Kubrick under-
took Spartacus, in which he replaced di-
rector Anthony Mann, resulting in a final
work that Kubrick disavows because he
didn't exert total control.
Lolita followed in 1961, with the impec-
cable list of Dr. Strangelove, 2001 and
Clockwork Orange rounding out the aes-
thetic accomplishments. Due for release
this Christmas is Kubrick's film that
has been 4 years in the making, Barry
Lyndon.
Little is known about the film, as Ku-
brick would allow no studio publicists on
the set. But Ryan O'Neal (who stars in
the film) has let on that Kubrick, in keep-
ing with the 17th century authenticity of
the film, refused to use any type of ar-
tificial lighting.
Thus, the director has invented a revo-
lutionary type of lens that would allow
on unprecedented amount of light through
the aperture, permitting Kubrick to use
only candlelight for the lighting of all in-
door sequences.
Kubrick's "maniacal" infatuations for
precision have become infamous. Aubrey
Morris had to expel a wad of spit, onto the
face of Malcolm McDowell some twenty
times until the saliva landed precisely on
the crease of McDowell's lips. It is rumor-
od that Kubrick reshot a single scene of
Paths of Glory over 50 times before it was
filmed to his liking.

His personal insistence on total safety
dictates a policy of restricted travel,
avoiding the use of airplanes and cars if
at all possible. (He purposely bought a
home near England's Pinewood Studios
so he could ride a bike to work.)
During the filming of 2001, Kubrick
donned a hardhat while working within
the intricate sets. And when dissatisfied
with the lab work being done on A Clock-
work Orange, Kubrick loaded the nega-
tives into a land roverand transported
them personally across town - with film
editor Bill Butler driving at a reduced
speed in front of him to obsorb any pos-
sible collision.
One must take him seriously when he
proceeded to Lloyds of London in June of
1965, three years before 2001's completion,
to price an insurance policy against Mar-
tians being discovered before the release
of the film.
But it is these subleties that make up
the Kubrick mystic. His films are mys-
terious endeavors shrouded by secrecy un-
til their initial release, when critics unite
in unanimous acclaim or dissipate in di-
vided controversy.
A fitting end to the intricacies of the di-
rector is my favorite Kubrickism: the hu-'
manistic computer of 2001's name is HAL.
If you take the next letter of the alpha-
bet that follows H, A and L, you get IBM.
Kibrick swears he didn't realize that upon
concention of the name. I believe him. But
then, I think the monolith is Kubrick,

on."
Patricia Cole, who takes cus-
tomers' orders, likes the feeling
of being a cog in the machin-
ery. "I just start turning my
mind off and doing it, and it all
comes so automatic. My mind
isn't involved in it."

A city ordinance forbidding
large street signs keeps Burger
King almost hidden until you
face its doors. Publicity, and
reputation, will hopefully keep
them coming back for more.
Yet thenae bseems so appro-
priate. The burger is king.
