A few questions and discussion

>Do screenplays count as literature?
>Was Kubrick inspired by Postmodern literature in style and approach?
>What books did he like ^^^^

Well considering about 90% of his screenplays are based on existing novels I would be hesitant to give him much credit as an author.

>Was Kubrick inspired by Postmodern literature in style and approach?
no

he chose shitty books to adapt on purpose--so that he could make them better. cant wait for the triggered nabofag.

b-but 2001 wasn't that bad

The movie wasn't all that either.

Come on, user knows making a good adaptation something better is different from creating an original work.

Kubrick makes good low brow films. His works are more akin to genre fiction than literature though.

>>Do screenplays count as literature?
No.
>>Was Kubrick inspired by Postmodern literature in style and approach?
No.
>>What books did he like ^^^^
I don't remember, but according to the Eyes Wide Shut screenwriter's book, around that time Kubrick got so obsessed with internet porn he barely got out.

That's not true. I read any interesting interview with Kubrick where he discussed the criteria he looked for in books to adapt; or rather, he discussed the importance of remembering, and preserving throughout the rigors and delays and vexations of the filmmaking process the aspects of the story - the feels, in essence - that attracted you to the story, and to hold onto those feels as a kind of golden thread to guide you through the process
