total originality. 996 00:55:56,744 --> 00:56:00,313 Innovation means moving it forward, 997 00:56:00,444 --> 00:56:05,536 but not abandoning the classical form, 998 00:56:05,666 --> 00:56:07,712 the art form that you are working with. 999 00:56:07,842 --> 00:56:11,324 But I do think that the real explosion will come 1000 00:56:11,455 --> 00:56:15,502 when someone finally liberates the narrative structure. 1001 00:56:15,633 --> 00:56:18,723 ["Sarabande" plays] 1002 00:56:21,334 --> 00:56:24,032 MICHEL: What surprises me is that you have absolutely no prejudice 1003 00:56:24,163 --> 00:56:25,599 towards choice of a subject. 1004 00:56:25,730 --> 00:56:27,035 I mean, anything can happen. 1005 00:56:27,166 --> 00:56:28,602 STANLEY: Well I might, but I am not aware of it, 1006 00:56:28,733 --> 00:56:30,082 I mean... 1007 00:56:30,212 --> 00:56:32,824 A good story you can make into a film is a miracle, 1008 00:56:32,954 --> 00:56:35,348 and it is very hard to work miracles. 1009 00:56:35,479 --> 00:56:40,614 [♪♪♪] 1010 00:56:43,530 --> 00:56:45,837 STANLEY: Someone sent me an article about Schnitzler. 1011 00:56:45,967 --> 00:56:47,491 He died in the most wonderful way. 1012 00:56:48,883 --> 00:56:51,495 He was sitting, writing at the type writer. 1013 00:56:52,713 --> 00:56:54,323 Somebody was in the next room and he got up to give him a page 1014 00:56:54,454 --> 00:56:57,283 and he just fell over, and that was it. 1015 00:56:58,850 --> 00:57:00,852 He hadn't been ill or anything, he was just working, 1016 00:57:00,982 --> 00:57:02,288 and dying. 1017 00:57:06,466 --> 00:57:07,641 TOM: I was supposed to talk to him on Sunday. 1018 00:57:07,772 --> 00:57:09,382 And sometimes Stanley would call, 1019 00:57:09,513 --> 00:57:10,949 you know, in the middle of the night. 1020 00:57:11,819 --> 00:57:12,907 I remember thinking... 1021 00:57:13,038 --> 00:57:15,562 The phone rang, it was either Nick or Stanley, 1022 00:57:15,693 --> 00:57:17,782 the only people who usually call in the middle of the night. 1023 00:57:17,912 --> 00:57:21,742 And it was Leon, and he said, 1024 00:57:21,873 --> 00:57:23,222 "Tom, you know, Stanley Kubrick... 1025 00:57:24,876 --> 00:57:26,530 died in his sleep." 1026 00:57:26,660 --> 00:57:27,618 And... 1027 00:57:32,753 --> 00:57:35,364 And I remember just thinking, "This just isn't happening." 1028 00:57:43,111 --> 00:57:45,287 -[lights shut] -[electricity crackles] 1029 00:57:50,075 --> 00:57:51,598 [film camera whirring] 1030 00:57:55,472 --> 00:57:58,605 ["Midnight, the Stars & You" from "The Shining" plays] 1031 00:57:58,736 --> 00:58:03,915 [♪♪♪] 1032 00:58:16,101 --> 00:58:18,364 STANLEY: How disappointing you make the end of a film 1033 00:58:18,495 --> 00:58:21,715 is a matter of, I suppose, taste or artistic balance, 1034 00:58:21,846 --> 00:58:24,544 whatever it is, but you always are faced with the problem 1035 00:58:24,675 --> 00:58:28,940 of are you going to try to reinforce 1036 00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:32,204 this illusion which melodrama fosters 1037 00:58:32,334 --> 00:58:34,206 or are you going to try to reflect 1038 00:58:34,336 --> 00:58:36,817 what one sees about life? 1039 00:58:38,471 --> 00:58:43,041 Melodrama uses all the problems of the world 1040 00:58:43,171 --> 00:58:46,479 and all the disasters which befall the main characters 1041 00:58:46,610 --> 00:58:49,526 to finally show you that... 1042 00:58:49,656 --> 00:58:53,268 the world is a benevolent and fair place, 1043 00:58:53,399 --> 00:58:57,055 and all the tests and trials and seeming misfortunes 1044 00:58:57,185 --> 00:58:59,797 which occur, in the end just reinforce this belief. 1045 00:58:59,927 --> 00:59:04,366 But tragedy, or honesty, 1046 00:59:04,497 --> 00:59:06,934 or an attempt at presenting life 1047 00:59:07,065 --> 00:59:10,329 in a way that seems closer to reality than melodrama... 1048 00:59:10,459 --> 00:59:12,505 can leave you with a feeling of desolation. 1049 00:59:14,768 --> 00:59:18,293 But certainly, the formula approach, 1050 00:59:18,424 --> 00:59:21,470 which presents the world in a way other than it is, 1051 00:59:21,601 --> 00:59:22,863 doesn't seem to have a great deal of merit 1052 00:59:22,994 --> 00:59:25,170 unless you're just... 1053 00:59:25,300 --> 00:59:26,693 making entertainment. 1054 00:59:34,222 --> 00:59:37,225 MICHEL:
