Stanley Kubrick 1928–1999 Film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and editor Renowned American director whose films include 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining "The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything, 2001 shows that what some people call "god" is simply an acceptable term for their ignorance. What they don't understand, they call "god"... Everything we know about the universe reveals that there is no god. I chose to do Dr. [Arthur C.] Clarke's story as a film because it highlights a critical factor necessary for human evolution; that is, beyond our present condition. This film is a rejection of the notion that there is a god; isn't that obvious?"[11]
