D.W. Griffith Award

I've compared Griffith's career to the Icarus myth, but at the same time I've never been certain whether the moral of the Icarus story should only be, as is generally accepted, "Don't try to fly too high," or whether it might also be thought of as, "Forget the wax and feathers and do a better job on the wings."

RAP UP
To rap it up, Stanley Kubrick was a director who took risks and who paid careful attention on details. He was a perfectionist when I comes to film making.
