Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.
If Kubrick were a REAL auteur, he wouldn't have needed to adapt other works into films.
With the exception of one of his very early films, all of them were based on pre-existing material.
Even 2001 was based on Arthur C. Clarke short stories that were merged and expanded into 2001 with the cooperation of Clarke.
Most directors don't write their films and I don't think "auteur" means what you think it means
If Kubrick were a real autist, he'd be like me
