But he did. The urban legend arose from initial viewers thinking it sucked and the occult of its themes mixed.

Hell, it even got censored with CGI for the American release with Kubrick's consent.

these people have seen more movies than you've heard about anons. After all only watching Godard, Kubrick and Truffaut tends to limit your knowledge of the wider medium. I know ad hominems make you feel better though, so keep going

Anon, everybody knows newspaper critics are humongous plebs. These, specifically, are from the film's initial release.
If you knew your history, you'd see that every single Kubrick film has been appaled by these "critics" every single time to further praise it 10 years later. Check it out, it's hilarious.
>>
>>63439466
almost every single movie in history gets better reviews as time goes on. A lot of the time it's due to contrarians

no it's not. You just have to pay attention. Of course contemporary critics will be the harshest

It's higly propable that he already sold his daugther to the occult secte that produce massive orgy.

i'd say the scene with the japs was just to scare them off and make'em pay hell load of money

This is supported by the total lack of fuck given by her daughter who seemed more amused than anything by her father's anger

Go look up the type of books Stephen Hunter writes, and then realize that none of those three critics are respected. They are critics for the popcorn and explosions crowd.

>>63439178
All I'm reading here is that you're too much of a pleb to realize that Jackson Pollock's big secret is that his famous stuff was him just splattering his John Hancock over and over on canvas with varying colors of paint.

the whole thing was staged. it was a warning to bill that they would do something to his daughter.
>>
>>63441408
bit of a reach here

The only people claim that it's the best is due to god-tier cult scene. Kubrick has better films, but it's a 9/10 nonetheless
>>
>>63441427
like fuck it is.
1. unbelievable coincidence that he'd run into three separate instances of extreme, almost unbelievable sexual horror in a span of a day and a half.
2. "milich" is a replacement owner for the costume shop, and the film really lingers on that detail.
3. hell of a fucking coincidence that "milich's daughter" has the same hair color as bill's wife and daughter.
4. it's unbelievable that a father would pimp out his own daughter when he didn't need the money. and even if he did, he certainly wouldn't parade it the way "milich" does.

The film is just a metaphor for his lack of masculinity. The occultism evidenced in the sumptuous masquerade orgies is merely symbolic, a metaphor for his fear of sex.

Not saying much. His movies are trash.

Once you grow out of your pseudo-intellectual hipster phase you'll understand this. And maybe you'll finally get the purpose of movies. By the way, liking Kubrick doesn't impress anyone at all. Have a good day, Mr. White.
