Bonus Kubrick: Day of the Fight, his first film, a 1951 short documentary.

HAL is the only empathetic character in that movie.

Although the giant plastic baby at the end evokes a lot of emotion.

If this is anything more than a comparison of similarities (camera angles and pans, scenes, character development, etc.) between Kubrick movies, I'm not getting it and I'd appreciate it if someone would enlighten me. Otherwise this seems to be rather straightforward Film-making 101 type stuff, n'est-ce pas?

Could have done without the overly...reverential...music. Would have preferred the original soundtracks. Otherwise, it was cool to see scenes I didn't recognize. But, yeah, Film-making 101.

Or just that Ligeti piece from Eyes Wide Shut with the relentless piano keying that makes a car coming down a driveway the most sinister thing you've ever seen.

What's the original ending for Blade Runner doing in there? Oh wait....
It is cool the way the editor found repeated visual motifs and put them together.
The one notable film missing is Spartacus, which I suppose wasn't included because it was partly directed by Anthony Mann.

The artist missed an opportunity of juxtaposing Lolita in her bikini with General 'Buck' Turgidson's "secretary" Miss Scott.
