Stanley Kubrick was born in Manhattan, new York city in 1928 and he died in 1999 in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, England, UK at the age of 70. He was a director, writer and producer. He is famous for being one of the greatest media researches and his films like:the shining, a clockwork orange or eyes shut.
After Kubrick's death, a journalist called John Ronson made a documentary named Stanley Kubrick's boxes. It was about Stanley and his life on work. This documentary was showing us all about these boxes that he had that was full of research and and his career. It was realised in 2008.Kubrick had lots of research on his films, like about 1000 and he kept it all in his house.
John Ronson thought that he should let the whole world know about Stanley Kubrick's life when he was working on his films. He was having doubts about it because he thought people would change the story to make him look bad. The first box the journalist opened was a box on which was written in Islington because that is the area he lived in. The box had things likes pictures with lots of detail. They fund out that he had a location scouter called Manuel Harlan. The film eyes wide shut, Harlan took at the end more than 30000 photos of all locations.John Ronson the journalist has spent 5 years coming to Kubrick's house and doing documentary on his boxes.
The end of the documentary we see that Stanley wife decides to give all the boxes with the research and knowledge to the London college of communication from the university of art london because she would rather give them for someone else to use it and gain the knowledge than throwing it away as waste. The boxes were moved in the college in 2007 and gained access to the students in 2008.
