Essential aspect of Kubrick's films: A weapon turns against its creator
Each great artist has its own motives which repeats again and again through his works. Stanley Kubrick’s films (and Kubrick is definitely a great artist) often reveal the same narrative pattern. Many of Kubrick’s movies picture the same situation when someone creates a kind of weapon or implement to use it for his own benefits but in fact it destroys its creator.
Let's take a brief look at Kubrick's plots.
Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb: two countries in confrontation. They create an atomic bombs to protect themselves from each other. But the whole system loses control over its power due to madness go just one person. Finally the whole world is destroyed without any reason.
2001: A Space Odyssey: Mankind creates a supercomputer to make it be its servant. The computer is endowed with a kind of artificial mind. It is supposed to be that the artificial mind turns the computer into a perfect servant for a human being. Meanwhile the computer rationally calculates that human is a source of danger for it and decides to kill its master.
Full Metal Jacket: Army does its best to create an ideal soldier from an ordinary person. But its methods are so violent that the first decision a newborn solder makes is to kill his instructor.
So this is a narrative pattern that repeats in Kubrick’s movies. I hope you like this little notice. All images are taken from IMDb:www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/mediaviewer/rm440022784
