Kubrick's best movie was 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, but my personal favorite of his was FULL METAL JACKET.
what if I say Kubrick's best movie was Clockwork Orange??? who decides which is the best? no offense, I don't know how to separate them. my favorites are the best to me.

[/b][/quote]Well, I think that best is still subjectable to an extent, just not as subjectable than your personal favorite. Also, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it isn't good. I'll use an example that came up earlier today, outside of these forums. I personally do not care for any metal music, but that does not mean it is not good. I find several metal bands to be talented, they just don't do anything personal for me. In a case like Kubrick, it's more so, which holds more value as an art, and which do I pull most enjoyment from?


"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."

Rating "Best" is just as subjective as rating "Favourites", to every extent.

The difference here, which Vercetti has validated more than once in the past, is that many people choose to measure their favourites on different terms than their best. I don't see any difference whatsoever; my best music is my favourite music. If Metal music doesn't move me emotionally, it isn't good; technical skill is another matter. You can spend all your life perfecting a guitar riff, but if it doesn't hit my heart strings, it's been pretty ineffective. If I appreciate it on a "technical" level, then it has hit me emotionally. Not in the tearful way, in the appreciative way.

Everything in Art is subjective. Everything. We know nothing.

Really guys, you should already know the pretentious arrogance of the great RRA by now. I think 2001 is Kubrick's ultimate acheivement.....yet I rather watch FULL METAL JACKET on any given day.

Anyway, great post Capo!
