Stanley Kubrick : Natural causes?

Natural causes?

For a long while IMDB had his death saying heart attack and now it's natural causes. I would think natural causes for some in there 90's while they are asleep. But Kubrick was 70. And as far as I know he wasn't a drinker or a smoker.

Re: Natural causes?

I read trivia on Kubrick and saw were it said he was a heavy smoker up until the 1970's where he would only smoke under pressure, but he never drank alcohol

Re: Natural causes?

If you're open-minded to conspiracy theories, some believe that Kubrick was murdered because of the Illuminati symbolism that is contained in Eyes Wide Shut. I'm not sure I buy that, but who knows?

Re: Natural causes?

It wouldn't surprise me? Idk. He was a perfectionist and was very harsh on the actors he had appear in his films. I guess too much stress caused him to have a heart attack at his age.

Re: Natural causes?

Another poster above mentioned it, but many believe he was murdered, myself included.

Here's a good breakdown of the symbolism in EWS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC0UUl1QgQ0

It is because the film is riddled with so much symbolism, much like the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus RE: Heath Ledger's death, theorists are led to believe they were both murdered for attempting to expose the Illuminati. The so called conspiracy theories actually hold a great deal of weight when you do your research.

Re: Natural causes?

I mean I guess, Dont have time to watch the video above my friend, but I will. I fe 111c el Eyes Wide Shut did have alot to do with the illuminati myself and 2001 having to do with the moon landings... Yeah maybe he did have it coming

Re: Natural causes?

Heart attack is considered a natural cause I believe. He was a heavy smoker at one point.. He stopped but never complete. I don't think he drank.. Perhaps socially because in Kubrick Remembered he mentioned Kubrick inviting the cast over on off days to drink beer and watch films.

Plus his wife said he was pretty stressed during post production on Eyes Wide Shut. That perhaps strained his heart. He died in his sleep.

And I'm sure there's a conspiracy theorist on this thread or board somewhere. They're full of crap.

Re: Natural causes?

Certain things are dangerous to research in such depth and to make films about and certain people will do anything to keep said certain topics out of the limelight. Stanley was provoking too much thought and shedding too much light about these certain topics.

Re: Natural causes?

He was murdered. There is no mistake.

Re: Natural causes?

Stanley Kubrick wasn't murderd he was skinned alive.

No more dead Lannisters
No More dead Trolls

Re: Natural causes?

He was actually a heavy smoker for most of his life and very rarely exercised. He was in poor shape, physically, and hadn't worked in a decade when he started production on Eyes Wide Shut, the shoot of which dragged on for over 18 months.

It's not that hard to believe he would die in his sleep given the circumstances. Most of you Kubrick conspiracy wackos sound as autistic as he was.

Re: Natural causes?

Like a couple of posters have said before, it was likely a stress induced heart attack. Stress is one of the worst silent killers out there. After working for 5 years on EWS it's no doubt a heavy burden was lifted off his shoulders, Then, to have the critics savage your film after such a labour of love, it seems more than likely a heart attack did him in. But people are going to believe what they want to believe and with all of the misinformation available on the internet, it's no wonder people are so easily brainwashed.



give me a stage where this bull here can rage and though I can fight I'd much rather recite.

Re: Natural causes?

I think the most ridiculous part of the death conspiracy is the fact the studio released the film. Why would they release a film that essentially exposed them with all that symbolism? In fact why wouldn't they have killed him earlier and stopped production completely..... The studio knew what the movie was about.

What fantasy IMO. Also the guy is clearly overweight.



Re: Natural causes?

Why wouldn't they have released it? I don't believe he was killed over this film. However I wouldn't be surprised that he was killed for other reasons. Stanley Kubrick was an elite figure. Despite what they'd have us believe, no one climbs the ladder solely on their own merit, it's all about who you know and you have to submit to the ones higher on the ladder if you wanna climb any higher. A lot of them are indoctrinated into secret groups when they are younger and think nothing of it other than opportunities to get ahead. But soon after they find themselves slave to them and their lives work are spent compromised to them, and they are sacrificed when their services are no longer required.

Whoever was pissed off at whatever this film revealed, which in retrospect is hardly anything at all, wouldn't be motivated enough to kill the man over it. If anything the film furthers the agenda of the elite, like all films, most likely unknown to the filmmakers. People might think films like Fight Club and The Matrix are big ''f^ck yous'' to the system, they're not. There are just dope pills provided to us by them to keep us fumbling in circles more.

Re: Natural causes?

I don't think he was killed at all. I'm always irritated when people discount the possibiliy of foul play involved in suspicious deaths -- but I don't think Kubrick's death was suspicious, really.

Was the timing weird (and unfortunate)? Of course. But the guy was 70 years old, and had been a fairly heavy smoker for decades (I forget if he still smoked at all by the late 90s, but the damage was surely done by that point). Just as crucially, Kubrick was a workaholic, who'd forgo sleep (or more than 2-4 hours a night of it) for the chance to work on his latest film. You could even say that working on EWS as he did was what killed him, especially with the unusually long (even for him) shoot and the obsessive editing and tending to every little detail of every facet of the film.

So Kubrick was very hard at work on fine-tuning the picture (color correction, sound editing, et al) when he died suddenly of that massive heart attack. Kubrick's longtime personal assistant, Emilio, shared a few stories in his book which are both sad and telling as to why Kubrick would've died the way he did. In one of them, Emilio found Kubrick at his desk or somesuch, working very late. Kubrick was clearly exhausted, mentally and physically; beyond just being a little over-worked. As Kubrick finally relented to Emilio's begging him to go upstairs and get some sleep, Emilio was shocked to find that Kubrick could barely stand up and keep his balance on the stairs; he was in quite bad shape, and this was no more than a couple months before he died.

Another story, from the pre-production of EWS, testifies to the kind of over-work and ignoring of his own health that contributed to SK's death. Emilio had gone location scouting with Kubrick to one of the giant estates/castles which was to be used for the exterior of the Somerton sequence in the film, and Stanley was taking pictures of it. It was winter, extremely cold, in England of course, and it was the dead of night -- but Kubrick was so dedicated that he kept on taking picture after picture until hours had passed. At that point, Emilio looked at Kubrick and saw icicles had formed in his beard; he was in danger of practically freezing to death! Kubrick, seemingly unfazed and/or unaware of this, woozily agreed to the prospect of going home.

So, in short, there are a lot of reasons to believe that SK died of a heart attack in his sleep. This ain't a politician being pumped full of bullets in a crowded public space, or even a whistle-blower being found dead in their home, at a very convenient date, from some apparent "suicide": it's an infamously exacting/obsessive film director, beset by old age, a history of bad habits and severe over-work, simply passing away in the bedroom of his secluded, private country estate.

If you know about Kubrick's habits, the home he died in, the company he kept and his general (comparative) seclusion, then 238 if one were to really believe the idea that he was murdered it'd almost have to be an "inside job" of some sort -- with one of his family members or very close friends who comprised his "staff" (like Emilio) being forced to slip him a poison pill or whatever people think happened. It's all a little ridiculous, to say the least. The Parallax View was a terrific film, but it's not (always) real life, you know.

Heart stopping is basically how we all die, the natural causes is most prob due to information that the heart attack was caused by some other condition.
