The Real Stanley Kubrick by Michael Herr (Vanity Fair)<\/a><\/p>\n

He was thinking about making a war movie next, but he wasn\u2019t sure which war, and in fact, now that he mentioned it, not even so sure he wanted to make a war movie at all.
\nHe called me a couple of nights later to ask me if I\u2019d read any Jung. I had. Was I familiar with the concept of the Shadow, our hidden dark side? I assured him that I was. We did half an hour on the Shadow, and how he really wanted to get it into his war picture. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nCarl Jung<\/a> and Arthur Schnitzler<\/a><\/p>\n

And then there was this other book he was fascinated by – he was fairly sure I\u2019d never heard of it – Arthur Schnitzler\u2019s novella Traumnovelle, which means Dream Novel, meaninglessly called Rhapsody in the only English edition available at that time. He\u2019d read it more than 20 years before, and bought the rights to it in the early 70s (it\u2019s the book that Eyes Wide Shut is based on), and the reason I\u2019d probably never heard of it (he started to laugh) was that he\u2019d bought up every single existing copy of it. Maybe he\u2019d send me one. I could read it and tell him what I thought.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nWeegee<\/a><\/p>\n

Much like Weegee, Stanley Kubrick started his career as a photographer on the streets of New York & contributed era defining shots to LIFE magazine. Kubrick admired Weegee’s photographs & during shooting of Doctor Strangelove employed him as a stills photographer. When Peter Sellers heard Weegee speak he apparently used Weegee’s peculiar voice as the basis for that of Dr Strangelove!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
