There's a way that the force of disappointment can be alchemized into something that will paradoxically renew you.

The most important thing is, how can I move forward towards something that I can't articulate, that is new in storytelling with moving images and sound?

The storyboard for me is the way to visualise the entire movie in advance.

The real truth, I thought, in terms of what faith is and what Christianity is.

Zombies, what are you going to do with them? Just keep chopping them up, shooting at them, shooting at them.

If Kubrick had lived to see the opening of his final film, he obviously would have been disappointed by the hostile reactions. But I'm sure that in the end he would have taken it with a grain of salt and moved on. That's the lot of all true visionaries, who don't see the use of working in the same vein as everyone else. Artists like Kubrick have minds expansive and dynamic enough to picture the world in motion, to comprehend not just where its been, but where it's going.
