In such a wicked world where we live
We close our eyes so as not to give,
Where there is so much violence, insanity and disease
My brother, My brother, please
So hiding these truths in books is something we all can agree
Never wanting them to reach the Hollywood lights shining on the bright marquee,
But at last there is a man named Stanley who corrects these things
His truths rising like water from the springs
His screenplay and direction in A Clockwork Orange revealed our true selves as we are today
While his 2001: A Spaceship Odyssey spoke of computers named Hal who fail to obey,
Although his works are considered science fiction
I’m left wondering if they’re not a true prediction
For aren’t all visionaries suppose to foresee what’s ahead
And speak those words better left unsaid,
Because our tomorrows are like looking onto the open sea
We need a captain to keep our ship clear and free
Stanley Kubrick takes us to that place
Which is normally so difficult to embrace,
But eventually our eyes open and we try to see
All those things that Stanley has brought for you and me
I really enjoyed your presentation of Stanley Kubrick. I think your poem did a good job embodying his person. The one tid-bit fact that I found rather interesting was that he was an avid Chess Enthusiast.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rob. Even though he was a very interesting person through his work, I liked what you presented with his other hobbies. Also, good job at presenting your poem!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture you chose, and I really enjoyed your presentation. I could tell you were really into this assignment. I've never seen a Clockwork Orange but all my friends have said its a great movie. Definitely have to see it now!
