Stanley Kubrick: New York
built 643 days ago
Kubrick wurde als Sohn eines New Yorker Arztes österreichisch-jüdischer Herkunft und einer Österreicherin geboren und hatte eine sechs Jahre jüngere Schwester. Ab 1941 besuchte er die Taft High School, wo er Fotograf der Schülerzeitung war. Nach dem Schulabschluss begann er seine Karriere als Fotograf. Nachdem er zunächst Amateurfotos an das New Yorker Look-Magazin verkauft hatte, arbeitete er dort schließlich als fester Angestellter. Eine Foto-Geschichte über einen Boxer, die er verfasste, führte ihn tiefer in die behandelte Materie ein.

There is only one Stanley Kubrick, and his ability to inspire, entertain, and create wonder in the hearts and minds is unparallel. He was a true genius who took film making to new heights. The music, the camera work have been imitated and copied. The world mourns a true artist. Robert Browning once said, " If you get simple beauty and nought else, you get about the best thing God invents." Stanley Kubrick created true beauty and God was his guide.

Stanley came back a year later and returned to his new school P.S. 90 for eighth grade. During this time, he had scored above average on the reading and intelligence tests given out by the New York school system. His parents and the school both saw this mysterious boy as untapped potential.

Kubrick was born in New York in 1928 and did his early work there. As a young man he was an amateur photographer, but it was his photograph of a man mourning the death of President Franklin Roosevelt that made him a professional. Later, because of his desired life style, he moved to London and lived there for over 30 years.

Kubrick's second feature film, Killer's Kiss, was ... a totally independent venture. The film was shot on location in New York City with Kubrick behind the camera. A testament to guerrilla filmmaking, it is a noir portrait of a down-and-out boxer photographed in bleak black and white. Though Kubrick later referred to the film as the equivalent of a student undertaking, Killer's Kiss achieves a documentary environment with haunting, surreal overtones.

[I]t was still photography, not film, that brought Kubrick his first commercial success. Rarely without his camera, he made a hobby of taking pictures to document the events unfolding around him. One such occasion presented itself following the death of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945. Kubrick, who was then only 17, came upon a newspaper dealer at his stand surrounded by headlines trumpeting news of the president's death. His subject's dejected posture and mournful facial expression captured the eye of the young photographer, who snapped his picture. But as LoBrutto observed, "Stanley didn't just take the man's picture, he made the situation into a piece of photojournalism."
