Napoleon represented for him. . .
1:03:07
. . .the worldly genius. . .
1:03:09
. . .that, at the same time, failed.
1:03:13
Stanley was fascinated by the fact
that somebody so intelligent. . .
1:03:19
. . .and so talented,
could make such mistakes.
1:03:22
He liked comparing war and chess. . .
1:03:27
. . .and making films, and the idea
of seeing everything as a battle.
1:03:32
All directors like battle analogies
for movies. . .
1:03:37
. . .and certainly nobody planned. . .
1:03:42
. . .with the mixed results.
1:03:45
When somebody that meticulous
plans something. . .
1:03:47
. . .anything that goes wrong
seems to wreak havoc.
1:03:51
If Stanley was afraid of anything, it
was of making that kind of mistake. . .
1:03:56
. . .where you get carried away
without checking.
1:03:59
There was the chess player in him.
1:04:01
Maybe that's why
he took so long between films.
1:04:04
The Napoleon project was well-prepared.
We were ready to go to Romania. . .
1:04:09
. . .where we could have 5000 cavalry,
including commanding officers.
1:04:15
We had paper uniforms
and everything ready. . .
1:04:18
. . .and then came this film Waterloo.
1:04:22
It was a very well-made film
with Rod Steiger. . .
1:04:24
. . .but it failed at the box office, and
our backers got scared and pulled out.
1:04:30
By 1 969, the Kubrick family was living
close to the film studios. . .
1:04:34
. . .in Elstree, Hertfordshire.
1:04:35
He's always liked living here.
1:04:38
There were moments
where he was homesick for New York. . .
1:04:41
. . .but he knew that was
a New York that no longer existed.
1:04:45
When you brought up your children here
and their friends. . .
1:04:49
. . .live here, and you know,
you get attached.
1:04:53
Do you know what kind
of camera that is?
1:04:55
-It's a home movie...
-Arriflex.
