Stanley Kubrick Quote
-
[on An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)] I think Louis Gossett Jr.`s performance was wonderful, but he had to do what he was given in the story. The film clearly wants to ingratiate itself with the audience. So many films do that. You show the drill instructor really has a heart of gold - the mandatory scene where he sits in his office, eyes swimming with pride about the boys and so forth. I suppose he actually is proud, but there`s a danger of falling into what amounts to so much sentimental bullshit.
