Eyes Wide Shut feels so weird because all of the scenes that take place outdoors, on the streets of the city, are filmed on a soundstage. It gives it a dreamlike, artificial feel

The depth and refinement of Louis' film insight is impressive. What a great artist in his own right.

"Do me a favor, Dorothy: get the fuck awa--get in the other room." lmao exactly how I imagine Kubrick

i love that you show no mercy towards the other speakers and just let Louis CK flow without interruption.

i don't know if i've ever heard anyone else say that "the Shining" is told from the point of view of the hotel.  i feel like i need to watch it again, with that in mind.

The word Louis was looking for about The Shining was "dread". 😀

Louie's insight is cool but also,  props to the editor who cut this video to help us understand it

Kubrick’s ability to continuously place the camera in the right spot is a God given talent. There is a such thing as setting up a shot incorrectly and Kubrick seldom did, if at all.

Did Louie just rewatch all of those before the interview? Amazing memory

What I have noticed in these montages of directors works, is that no matter how quickly you cut and edit between shots to give that impressive, all encompassing sweeping scope over an artist’s vision, the best director’s work, the Kubricks, the Kurosawas and so on, each and every shot is superbly composed. The effect is like running through an art gallery and glimpsing masterpieces for seconds at a time, before another work is rapidly unveiled.

Best part about this video is every time Ranaan speaks, the video cuts. Thank you!

No director has ever used music and lighting to such amazing effect as Kubrick

Dr. Strangelove is a masterpiece!

I looked up notes on the Leopard attack scene in "2001 A Space Odyssey".  Found this response on reddit.

"It certainly was a real leopard. And it was a semi-controlled environment…at best? From the fascinating book “ “Space Odyssey:Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C Clarke, And The Making Of A Masterpiece”, animal trainer Terry Dugan had nearly a year to work with the leopard as the “Dawn Of Man” shooting schedule kept getting delayed. However, when it came to the day of shooting that scene, the leopard had never encountered Dugan in the man-ape suit before…let alone the studio lights and constant set commotion. Plus, the central man-ape actor (“Moonwatcher”) participated in the scene - despite having no prior exposure to the leopard. (Other actors were added to the scene in post-production.)

So in short, it was a little chaotic. And only a few takes with the leopard attack were attempted. But they got what they needed…plus a happy accident: when reviewing the footage, they noticed that the lighting produced an eerie effect on the leopard’s eyes, making it even more menacing. Kubrick was ecstatic."

There’s a compilation of all best vfx winners.  The jump up for 2001 and the absolute plummet after is nuts.

The 2001 blu ray i owned had hours of behind the scenes commentary about every scene in the movie.

Louis should do a movie review/analysation podcast series, he's really great.

Those "Weird Pigs" are Tapirs. Very docile and gentle creatures.

I like that the clips from Eyes Wide Shut are shown in open matte (4:3), which is how he shot it (protected for widescreen). Great edit, thanks.

Man, congrats on the channel. Famous  people from movies talking about movies and directors they like. Love it ❤
