Am I the only one super excited for Spielberg vs Kubrick? I love it because they both have two very different directing styles, yet are also pretty similar. Both directed movies around the same time, from the 70s to the 90s both were directing. Kubrick's movies are generally more serious and adult, whereas Spielberg is generally associated with more family movies like E.T., whereas he does have some pretty serious films under his belt as well (Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan, to name a few). Kubrick directed movies long before Spielberg, but he only directed 13 films in his lifetime, whereas who knows how many Spielberg's done. Kubrick was very precise and to the point with every shot and angle, whereas Spielberg seems to be more experimental. Kubrick's movies tend to focus less on plot and character and more on visuals and ideas, and Spielberg has a ton of plot and character. Kubrick was generally an OCD antisocial jerk most of the time, and Spielberg seems funny and super friendly. Both directors are known faily well in the film industry and are generally regarded as some of the greatest directors of all time, along with Hitchcock (whom I really hope is a third party rapper). Spielberg and Kubrick were also really good friends, and they almost worked on a movie together, but Kubrick died while they were making it (A.I.: Artificial Intelligence).

An idea that I had a while ago for this battle is they both get backed up by some of their most famous characters (Spielberg by Indiana Jones, Captain Quint, Elliot/E.T., and/or Oskar Schindler, Kubrick by HAL, Jack Torrance, Alex DeLarge, and/or Dr. Strangelove). If that doesn't happen, then another idea I had would be at some point in the battle, they dress as one of their characters. I dunno, just an idea. I don't really know why I did this but eh whatever.
