Find Stanley Kubrick through his pictures.

This presentation, narrated by Tom Cruise, starts with the standard: who was Kubrick as a child. As we travel through his early life, it looks like this is getting ready to be a boring standard soundbite General Information presentation. Then, about the time they get around to explaining Stanley Kubrick through his movie "How I Learned to Love the Bomb," we finally get the documentary that we were hoping to see. In other presentations, most of these films have their descriptions of the purpose of the films and what they are trying to say. In this presentation, we get to find out what everybody thinks Stanley is trying to say; so, we get to look at the same films, but this time through Stanley's eyes instead of a sterile film explanation. So, what we have here is exactly what the title implies. We learn about Stanley Kubrick through his pictures, and on top of the Tom Cruise narration, we get information from family, colleagues, and other sources. Whether you love or hate or are indifferent to Kubrick, you will not want to miss this well-designed, informative presentation of "Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures" (2001).
