What was the real attitude of S Kubrick to LV Beethoven

Rating: 7/10 (7 April 2009)

Music, being the most intellectually abstract of all the Arts, lends itself to many so-called interpretations.
I think I've understood the Film after 5 or 6 views spanned over some 20 years. None has answered my questions. 1 - Is Beethoven's music so ambiguous has to support both the utmost violence and "the joy of brotherhood" ?
2 - Was Stanley Kubrick, originally a photographer and later a kind of painter (mostly in Barry Lyndon), an hater of non-visual arts?
3 - Was he just a "provocateur". In my dictionary, such people attempt to destroy the civilization that they belong to. Voltaire succeed at doing this, but he left behind him very important writings. And he was frivolous, but very social.
4- Was Kubrick a genius or just a lonely bastard?...Very intelligent, but still a bastard...
