He is frequently cited as one of the most influential filmmakers in cinematic history. His films, which are mostly adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres, and are noted for their realism, dark humor, unique cinematography, extensive set designs, and evocative use of music. Kubrick was raised in the Bronx, New York City, and attended William Howard Taft High School from 1941 to 1945. He received average grades, but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age, and taught himself all aspects of film production and directing after graduating from high school. After working as a photographer for" Look" magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making short films on a shoestring budget, and made his first major Hollywood film," The Killing", for United Artists in 1956. This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas, the war picture" Paths of Glory"( 1957) and the historical epic" Spartacus"( 1960). His reputation as a filmmaker in Hollywood grew, and he was approached by Marlon Brando to film what would become" One- Eyed Jacks"( 1961), though Brando eventually decided to direct it himself. Creative differences arising from his work with Douglas and the film studios, a dislike of the Hollywood industry, and a growing concern about crime in America prompted Kubrick to move to the United Kingdom in 1961, where he spent most of the remainder of his life and career. His home at Childwickbury Manor in Hertfordshire, which he shared with his wife Christiane, became his workplace, where he did his writing, research, editing, and management of production details. This allowed him to have almost complete artistic control over his films, but with the rare advantage of having financial support from major Hollywood studios. His first British productions were two films with Peter Sellers," Lolita"( 1962) and" Dr. Strangelove"( 1964). A demanding perfectionist, Kubrick assumed control over most aspects of the filmmaking process, from direction and writing to editing, and took painstaking care with researching his films and staging scenes, working in close coordination with his actors and other collaborators. He often asked for several dozen retakes of the same shot in a movie, which resulted in many conflicts with his casts. Despite the resulting notoriety among actors, many of Kubrick's films broke new ground in cinematography. The scientific realism and innovative special effects of( 1968) were without precedent in the history of cinema, and the film earned him his only personal Oscar, for Best Visual Effects. Steven Spielberg has referred to the film as his generation's" big bang", and it is regarded as one of the greatest films ever made. For the 18th- century period film" Barry Lyndon"( 1975), Kubrick obtained lenses developed by Zeiss for NASA, to film scenes under natural candlelight. With" The Shining"( 1980), he became one of the first directors to make use of a Steadicam for stabilized and fluid tracking shots. Stanley Kubrick( July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. While many of Kubrick's films were controversial and initially received mixed reviews upon release —particularly" A Clockwork Orange"( 1971), which Kubrick pulled from circulation in the UK following a mass media frenzy —most were nominated for Oscars, Golden Globes, or BAFTA Awards, and underwent critical reevaluations. His last film," Eyes Wide Shut", was completed shortly before his death in 1999 at the age of 70. <SEP> Nelson Woss( born in Perth, Western Australia) is an Australian film producer who made the feature films" Red Dog" and" Ned Kelly". <SEP> Gowri Nandha is an Indian actress who works in Malayalam Tamil film industry.

He was famous for the series of low- budget Westerns he made in the late 1950s starring Randolph Scott. <SEP> The film is based on the real" Red Ball Express" convoys that took place after the D- Day landings in Normandy in June 1944. Red Ball Express is a 1952 World War II war film directed by Budd Boetticher starring Jeff Chandler and Alex Nicol, featuring early screen appearances by Sidney Poitier and Hugh O'Brian.

The film stars James Mason as Humbert Humbert, Sue Lyon as Dolores Haze( Lolita), and Shelley Winters as Charlotte Haze, with Peter Sellers as Clare Quilty. Lolita is a 1962 comedy- drama film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the 1955 novel of the same title by Vladimir Nabokov, who also wrote the screenplay. Owing to the Motion Picture Association of America's( MPAA) restrictions at the time, the film toned down the most provocative aspects of the novel, sometimes leaving much to the audience's imagination. The actress who played Lolita, Sue Lyon, was 14 at the time of filming. " Lolita" polarized contemporary critics, but is well- received today. Kubrick later commented, however, that if he had realized how severe the censorship limitations were going to be, he probably would never have made the film.
