I Tried For About Two

Oh, The Foghorns... Even The Foghorns, They're All Brass. It's Something By Ingrid Marshal Called Fog Tropes. It's Not A Sound Effect. It's An Actual Piece Of Music. If You Listen To What's Going On After He Has A Flashback About His Wife You'll Hear... It Sounds Like The Humpback Whales In A Way. But It's All Music. And We Use It Again Later, Too.

I Know There Were Many Good Policemen Who Died Doing Their Duty. Some Of The Cops Were Even Friends Of Ours. But A Cop Can Go Both Ways.

For Me, The Key Image Is The Boat Coming Through The Fog At The Beginning. It's Something I Imagined And Liked And I Guess There Are Other References In Other Films I Make - The Similar Type Of Image. But I Think It's Interesting, It's Breaking Through The Mystery, Or Maybe It Stays In The Fog... We Don't Really Know. Where Is He At The Beginning Of The Film, Who Is He?

If Kubrick Had Lived To See The Opening Of His Final Film, He Obviously Would Have Been Disappointed By The Hostile Reactions. But I'm Sure That In The End He Would Have Taken It With A Grain Of Salt And Moved On. That's The Lot Of All True Visionaries, Who Don't See The Use Of Working In The Same Vein As Everyone Else. Artists Like Kubrick Have Minds Expansive And Dynamic Enough To Picture The World In Motion, To Comprehend Not Just Where Its Been, But Where It's Going.
