Kubrick foresaw iPads, and a lot of other things.

Kubrick was a true genius. It's an overused word these days, but Kubrick actually WAS a genius. His IQ has been estimated to be close to 190.

He was a chess master, writer, director, photographer - but he knew a lot about many, many subjects. It is said he could read 50+ books over the span of a few days, and recall almost everything.

His films have deep, deep, deep layers of meaning.

He mysteriously died only 3 days after giving the studios the screening of Eyes Wide Shut.

Many people, including me, believe that Kubrick was murdered for revealing too much about the Illuminati.

He had an iron clad contract that he, and he alone, could change the final edit for the film. After he died, the studio cut several scenes, including one purportedly dealing with child sex and sacrifice.

Correction, Arthur C. Clarke foresaw those things. The story is based on Clarke’s theme of evolutionary sci fi. Clarke was a true science visionary.

Thanks for that info.

Like the publishers in Foucault’s Pendulum who got too close to the truth!.

The one thing that was disturbing in “Eyes” was the line uttered by Sydney Pollack’s character regarding the “party”:

“Who do you think those people were? Those were not just some ordinary people. If I told you their names... no, I’m not going to tell you their names... but if I did, I don’t think you’d sleep so well at night.”

2001...
Absolutely Awesome!
Clockwork Orange came next...
Shocker.
Thanks for enlightenment on Kubrick.

He was dumb. I recently rewatched 2001 and 2010, and was chagrined to see the use of heavy CRT view-screens everywhere. I mean, huge clunky 2 foot deep boxes. Not to mention lots of toggle switches and dumb lights.

You can't say it was because of the times, if you would compare with Star Trek that aired in 1966 or so. Star Trek was more far-sighted. It didn't take a genius to foresee flat screens for monitors in the future.

THAT is VERY interesting, considering recent enlightenments...
