Film director who touched on deep state subjects such as MKULTRA and the institutionalised power of secret VIPaedophile societies.

Stanley Kubrick was an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and photographer. His films, almost all of which are adaptations of novels or short stories, cover a wide range of genres and are noted for their realism, dark humor, unique cinematography, extensive set designs, and evocative use of music.

A demanding perfectionist, Kubrick assumed control over most aspects of the filmmaking process, from direction and writing to editing, and took painstaking care with researching his films and staging scenes, working in close coordination with his actors, crew, and other collaborators. He often asked for several dozen retakes of the same shot in a movie, which resulted in many conflicts with his casts.

Shortly after screening a final cut of Eyes Wide Shut for his family, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Warner Brothers executives[1], Kubrick suffered a sudden myocardial infarction in his sleep. Despite being 70 years old, what makes his untimely and sudden death suspicious is the subject he covered, the institutionalised power of secret societies.
