Kubrick dead at 70 Stanley Kubrick, the adventurous moviemaker who took audiences from Spartacus' slave revolt in ancient Rome through Dr. Strangelove's Cold War fantasies and on to distant worlds in the year 2001, died Sunday as he was finishing the final cut of a long-awaited new film.
People say that overanalyzing things leads one to miss the boat of understanding.
The film stars Robert DeNiro as an emotional basketcase of a mobster named Paul Vitti and Billy Crystal as Paul's seemingly unstable therapist Ben Sobel. While the story lacks the balance of silliness and seriousness to make the film plausible, the charisma of DeNiro and Crystal help to carry the humor in the life of mobster on the verge of a breakdown.
