Lolita and kubrick


Text N 5
Kubrick is a genius; certainly he is the director we all would like to be. Lolita can be considered as part in the evolutionary scale of his filmmaking. The same basis was carried to the limit in subsequent films like "The Shining" and "A Clockwork Orange”. The way he makes the camera move, starting where it should end, remembered and copied a thousand times by modern filmmakers. The clock does not even exist for more than fifteen minutes; this is the level of Lolita's school, if you start doing so.

The script is clever enough to bring all, to a situation that always seemed uncomfortable for many since romanticism claims that "love has no age." Humbert, Lolita´s lover, also thinks the same and that´s how it starts; a career into madness by the love of this young girl who from the vicissitudes of destiny will put to him to the test. He will now achieve his dream. Kubrick manages to put something original from the cliché of a man who cries, gets sick, and goes crazy ... for a young lady, nothing new. Obstacles do not matter; he knocks down every limitation, but cannot with all. If the unrequited love would not die, it kills just like Joaquin Sabina signs. That happens in Lolita. Love and death are inevitable and intense. Stanley handles it with great skill, keeping the audience interested throughout the entire film even when we know more or less the ending.

In a situation like that most people would condemn, but in reality not only awakens the most selfless compassion, after all, he is someone who stays there, suffering, unable to walk forward. Huge apology of love, and whims, when all joined together they can be lethal. The color would not have been, plus the use of white and black allows Kubrick to shows a deeper look into the emotion of the moment. However, light, sound, and the thousands of details in the film are the characteristic feature in Kubrick´s style of cinematography. The joint work that manages to do something magical when push the bottom rec. Lolita is full of it. Kubrick's final step to become the leader, number one. Without a doubt
