Why Kubrick will always be king

Rating: 9/10 (12 April 2003)

Movies Like this are why Stanley Kubrick will always be king. Sure the guy was a little crazy, and a bit of a perfectionist, but look at the classics that this man has turned in. I have more respect for Kirk Douglas as an actor from this film then any other that he has done. I really don't know why that man has never won an oscar. This movie is not really a war movie, and it's not really a court room drama. It's just a really good human drama film. I really don't think I need to comment on any of the technical aspects of this movie, because Kubrick's technical aspects are always perfect. Top notch film that deserves to be placed next to other classic Kubrick works such as A Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Spartacus, and 2001.
