I honestly don't like Kubrick films. I tolerate 2001 A Space Odyssey, but that's about it. he might have been a genius when it came to his vision, but he was not a good director.
Adam Baldwin said on the set of full metal jacket, Kubrick was making them do take after take after take, and he finally asked Kubrick what he wanted, and his only direction was "act better". which is pretty fucking hypocritical since he's the director and he's not directing. and if you can't get a satisfactory performance out of Shelley Duvall without being an abusive fucking asshole, you're not a good director.
