As a coda to the cycle, is showcasing its artificial intelligence project ever undertaken, directed by Steven Spielberg finally, following part of Kubrick's notes.

"Son of a doctor in the Bronx, New York, Stanley Kubrick left school early to indulge his passion for chess, photography and film. After four years as a photographer for Look magazine, devoting his free time watching movies at the Museum of Modern Art, made ​​a short documentary about a boxer, Day of the Fight (1951), whose photograph close to film noir and interest by isolation, obsession and violence foreshadowed his later work. (...) Kubrick can be seen as a paradigmatic figure in twentieth century art, a symbol of irreconcilable conflict between reason and passion, accompanied by the hubris of a desire to control and determine the course of events and the devastating illusion of access to a kind of immortality of the intellect, the only possible answer to the cruel absurdity of physical existence "(Paolo Cherchi Usai).
