Fear and Desire: On Stanley Kubrick’s first film
&gt; A &quot;bumbling amateur film exercise&quot; it may be, but Fear and Desire is
  also a blueprint for everything he went on to do, and that may be the
  real reason he wanted to keep it a secret.<p>What makes film directors, composers and maybe some writers and
philosophers interesting is something that you don&#x27;t see until end. A
60 or 70 year career as one long project of psychoanalysis, with the
seeds in earlier works getting ever better formed and expressed later.
So it&#x27;s a privilege to live outside a great person&#x27;s lifespan and see
the &quot;full works&quot; as it were.<p>Here&#x27;s where I cannot see AI comparing. Even if an AI could make one
brilliant box-office killer film every day, using generative scripts,
the hottest CGI and so on, those movies could not collectively compare
with a human who is working out a deep question through the medium of
an art and audience.
