Title: interrelation of SK's films
Post by: (kelvin) on December 01, 2003, 03:57:13 PM
Don't know if this has already been discussed here. What about the "theory" that Kubrick's films are interrelated by the first and last shots?

For instance, the last shot in Dr. Strangelove (We'll meet again) is connected to a new beginning in 2001, where the starchild is connected to Alex in A Clockwork Orange, etc.

yeah, I've heard that theory (like how in Alex's last fantasy he's dressed in the same sort of costumes featured in Barry Lyndon).

That reminds me of another scene in A Clockwork Orange...where Alex phantasizes about violence, you see a woman from underneath who is hanged...has anyone ever noticed that it is a man, actually, with a moustache?  :-D

Haha rockin. I think this theory's pretty interesting. But you'd have to stretch it like crazy to make "M-I-C-K-E-Y...M-OU-SE" to Nicole Kidman's ass.
