Disclosure: Aryans, Mars and the End of Days
The whole entire Stanley Kubrick odyssey - not just "2001," but the entire work of Stanley Kubrick - has to be understood by stepping back. Step back as far away as you can and take a wide look at it. Stanley is obsessed with time. His third film, "The Killing " is intercut between many different times. This is 1956, way before "Momento" or any of these modern films. When he moves forward to "Dr. Strangelove," again he is inter-cutting, not between different times, but in the same time. Time is different, even though it's at the same time. When you're on the bomber, time is moving fast, but when you're at the President's conference in the War Room, time is moving very slow. When you're trying to get the code from General Jack Ripper, time is moving slower than erosion. Jack isn't going to tell you the recall code. . . . keep reading

Secrets of the Shining: Or How Faking the Moon Landings Nearly Cost Stanley Kubrick his Marriage and his Life.
The Shining is surely Stanley Kubrick's most misunderstood masterpiece. I use the word 'masterpiece' guardedly because I have never really thought that The Shining was a very good film. At the time, in 1980 when I first saw it, I didn't like it at all. The way that Kubrick threw out so much of Stephen King's great source material and replaced it with a lot of things that just didn't seem to make any sense, really bothered me. Hopefully, before I am finished with this essay, the reader will see it is only when Kubrick dramatically alters the script from Stephen King's novel that we can begin to understand what Stanley Kubrick is trying to tell us in his version of The Shining. . . . keep reading

Weidner in Wired!

The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. . . . keep reading

Alchemical Kubrick 2001:
The Great Work on Film
Jay Weidner
Within the tradition of the Great Work of alchemy is the idea that the initiations, explanations and rituals of alchemy are embedded into many great works of art. The pyramids of Egypt and the great cathedrals of France are referred to as 'books of stone'. In other words there is deep knowledge built into these edifices that only an initiate of the alchemical tradition can truly understand. The great architects and artists, many of whom were alchemists themselves, had a very clear idea of what it was that they were attempting to transmit. It is only the viewer of these works that is left in the dark. As the French writer and alchemist Fulcanelli reveals in his masterpiece 'Mystery of the Cathedrals', the grand churches of France were built as part of this Great Work. Indeed, anyone who visits the cathedrals of Europe, but especially France, comes away with a feeling of complete awe. . . . keep reading
