The meme

did you fuck this up or is the monolith actually not centered here?

It’s called Zero Point Perspective.

shoutout to old Stanley for inventing perspective👏

I get it, gorgeous shots no doubt… but like, couldn’t you put this on top of literally any centered shot by any director and get the same point?

Missed the markers here.

Kubrick gets a random shot from a toliet -> twitter: absolute symmetry

it is called a perspective and you can find those in any movie, since the beginning of movies.

He puts the object in the middle.... Groundbreaking.

"PUT THE CAMERA ON HIS DICK!" yelled Stanley at the operator. "PUT THE CENTER RIGHT ON HIS DICK, YOU HEAR ME?! I AM A FUCKING GENIUS." continued Stanley with spittle blasting out of his mouth with every word.

this shit doesn't make sense. Only for stupid people

kms

the goat

Not what symmetry means lol

Leonardo Da Vinci Vitruvian Man (about 1490) Jan Van Eyke Arnolfini Portrait (1434) Rembrandt Van Rijn The Storm on the Sea of Galilee (1633) Claud Monet The Artist Garden at Vetheuil (1880)

That's not symmetry. Its a single vanishing point.

He centers his shots. How is that geometrically innovative?

Su última película es pura simetría.

Wait till you see Wes Anderson's work.. It's filmogasm..

Shining so good

He built a perfect, chilling world inside the screen. The symmetry makes you feel like everything's in control, even when it's all falling apart.

you’re forgetting the golden ratio

hello??? half of these shots follow the rule of thirds, would that not be a better thing to show..???

@sadgirlcassi • Kubrick, my second favourite director, was an artist and understood that film can be an art form, and in my view, should be. His films are, in my opinion, easily re-watchable, such that we can get more from them each time we see them. •

@halafawzy283 أكيد جوزائي زي حالاتي احنا المرضى دول فعلاً 😄

Stanley Kubrick was the first Wes Anderson

I tried taking a few screens from Barry Lyndon and testing this out. Here's one of the same shots from the video:

your not Wes Anderson bro 🤣🤣

In film terms this would be called a flat shot?
