Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and editor. He is regarded as having been one of America's greatest filmmakers. His films, typically adaptations of novels or short stories, were noted for their "dazzling" and unique cinematography, attention to details to achieve realism and an inspired use of music scores. Kubrick's films covered a variety of genres, including war, black comedy, horror and science fiction. Kubrick was also noted for being a perfectionist, using painstaking care with scene staging and working closely with his actors.
Starting out as a photographer in New York City, he taught himself all aspects of film production and directing after graduating high school. His earliest films were made on a shoestring budget, followed by one Hollywood blockbuster, after which he spent most of the rest of his career living and filming in England. His home became his workplace where he did his writing, research, editing and management of production details. This allowed him to have almost complete artistic control, but with the rare advantage of having financial support from major Hollywood studios.
I've got her photograph on a stand by my bed
Two on the mantle and thousands in my head
I can't believe how fast she's growing it ain't supposed to be like this
Everytime I look at her, I see how much I've missed
I missed her first steps and her first words
And I love you Daddy, is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so, to watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
I sent the money down, to my best to do my part
But it can't compare to what I paid with my heart
There's still one answered question that weighs heavy on my mind
Will she ever understand, the reasons why?
I missed her first steps and her first words
And I love you Daddy, something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so, to watch my girl grow
Up in pictures
Takes all I have to keep the tears inside
And what I wouldn't give if I could turn back time
I missed her first steps, her first words
And I love you Daddy, is something I seldom heard
Oh it hurts me so, to watch my baby grow
