Kubrick is one of the most influential directors of the 20th Century, his career spanning almost five decades. He is perhaps best known for his bordering on insane attention to detail when it came to what’s in the frame, requiring take after take until the shot was perfect. This video looks at a handful of his most interesting shots, and breaking them down, examining how they elevate the themes of their films, and the visual techniques that are on display.
- Timothy Leary (Wikipedia)
Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) was an American psychologist and author known for his strong advocacy of psychedelic drugs. Evaluations of Leary are polarized, ranging from bold oracle to publicity hound. According to poet Allen Ginsberg, he was “a hero of American consciousness”, and writer Tom Robbins called him a “brave neuronaut”. During the 1960s and 1970s, Leary was arrested 36 times; President Richard Nixon allegedly described him as “the most dangerous man in America”.
