Kubrick seems to fork most viewers down two paths. Especially Clockwork Orange.
For one group he's pretty singular at evoking certain emotions or feelings that are distinct to Kubrick. Clockwork Orange has its own unique discomfort or the Shining having a very particular flavor of dread.
Others, those Kubrick theatrics take them right out of the moment. The twins in the hallway make you zig instead of zagging, and now you have this very serious movie trying to make you scared while taking the most obtuse route to that emotion.
Both parties are equally wrong. Kubrick encoded the architecture of the overlying conspiracy at large into his films to open the general populace to the lie we all live this week on the Joe Rogan podcast.
