Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick is an American film director who has directed many critically acclaimed films such as The Shinning, A Clockwork Orange and A Space Odyssey. Kubrick used a lot of violence and nudity in his films and this is a running theme throughout. In fact A Clockwork Orange was banned in the UK because of the shocking use of nudity and violence. People all around the UK were shocked by how Kubrick openly filmed the character Alex raping a woman whilst singing 'singing in the rain'. There are lots of examples in A Clockwork Orange of violence but also in his other film The Shining. There are scenes of nudity in the shining however not as many A Clockwork Orange. There are many examples of violence however, when Jack goes insane and tries to kill his whole family.
