I feel bad for Shelly Duvall. Amazing actress and amazing performance; I hope she was able to recover some of what she lost for this role. I think it's important that people understand the extent of Kubrick's behavior when it came to working with her - the part at 8:17 in particular seems telling of the following purported events: "Even Kubrick’s daughter, Vivian, recounted her father’s tyrannical approach towards Duvall while filming. He commanded the crowd not to show any sympathy for Duvall and asked them to ignore her completely. He never complimented her scenes while constantly praising Nicholson, who was seated right next to her. This intensive training of the mind with isolation and “torture” for the role was too stressful for Duvall to bear, who started losing hair and was “in and out of health”, having been pushed to the very threshold. The most difficult moment would be the baseball scene for Duvall, where the auteur had taken 127 legendary takes, the highest number of takes in any film according to the Guinness Book of World records. Duvall ended up with a hoarse throat, raw wounded hands and severe dehydration. The “primal scream therapy” she underwent caused immense torment and emotional anguish, which somehow proved cathartic, for every time she went back home, she would feel at ease."
Stanley Kubrick sir is an inspiration and like a school of filmmaking to many American filmmakers. His cinematography and presentation of the script was something which is distinct! Attention to detail was something that was Pioneered by him (if I'm not mistaken). 2001: A Space Odyssey was a fantabulous film with visuals seeming like half a century ahead (not exaggerating) and the storyline was intriguing and out of the box! Sad that he was only limited to 13 films, wish he made more!
But it clearly also shows that Shelly is a bit of a complainer, and seems to be complaining about every little aspect of things she's being asked to do. Her job as an actor is not only to say the lines but to also almost be like an acting athlete. If you aren't up to the task of being in a film with Stanley Kubrick, or Michael Mann, or Michael Bay, then you probably need to audition for a different film.
@@richardarnez4932 but the question is, why did Kubrick feel like he needed to torture her to get a good role, but Jack was fine without any “motivation”
@@squarenoize1 because have you ever had to push a child to be scared? All he needed was a childish fear reaction, do you really think that he would have had to have made the kid dive deep into his psyche to produce that? Adults have biases, indoctrinations, bad habits. Directors break those in order to get a good performance.
From what I understand they considered a range from Robin Williams (who Kubrick actually thought would be TOO scary) Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, and Jon Voight.
@@LaifuBF1 Well, the main issue I have with Ford has been that, while not a bad actor per se, he has zero range. A mediocre actor who has happened to be in tons of excellent movies (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Blade Runner, The Fugitive, Witness, Air Force One)

Shelley Duvall was so pretty
She is strangely attractive
Agreed.

Absolutely.😊

He only called her Shelly the turtle and punched her in the stomach a few times.
That isn’t abuse.
8:14 when she pulled the knife he softened his tone , hahahaha
Jack Nicholson is such a gentleman 🥰🥰🥰
Very cool footage! Thanks.
Shelly is the person that makes this picture.
Yeah man. Just like ringo Starr made the Beatles.
Or Tito made the Jackson 5
OMG, I ❤ this movie

It doesn't look like Kubrick liked Shelley. Too bad. She is definitely a great anchor. Just like Jack.
Anchor?

I thank the good Lord that I never wanted to be an actress. Imagine working for Stanley Kubrick. May he RIS.
RIS = Rest in Shit?
@@slambotv1334 Yep. Sorry to say.
I looks like Shelley had picked up a British slang word: bollocking. 8:33.
Should've went with someone other than Jack Nicholson. Too hammy and takes away from the role.
He obviously just did what Kubrick wanted.
From what I understand they considered a range from Robin Williams (who Kubrick actually thought would be TOO scary) Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford, and Jon Voight.
