A Brief History Of 'Stanley Kubrick's Most Recognizable Directorial Techniques: The Kubrick Stare

Kubrick Stare refers to a copypasta and catchphrase written by Twitter user @SAMOYEDCORE (formerly @DxGGEAUX) that gives a short description of a "directorial technique" employed by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, where an actor's derangement is portrayed by them glaring at the camera menacingly with a forward tilt to their head. The copypasta was first written by its original author in 2019 and reposted in 2020, often alongside a four-photo grid showing various Kubrick characters doing the stare, with one of the images swapped out for a meme or joke.

The copypasta has been making the rounds on the internet since 2019, with a recent revival due to Rihanna's menacing gaze at the 2023 Super Bowl.
