Kubrick's films are generally considered relatively unemotional but we watch them over and over and over, anyway - why? Could we be relating to the characters' lack of control?

Re: Kubrick: Why keeps us invested, when characters don't control their fates?
Do you think that the ones finding the movies cold or unemotional are the ones watching it over and over?
In my humble opinion
Path of glory is dope, so is Dr. Strangelove.
The killing is good.
2001, Lolita, Full Metal, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange are "meh".
Eyes wide shut is terrible.The question is : Do you work in the business?

"Paths of Glory" tackles emotional ideas but the hero's actions have fairly little impact on the big-picture plot. "Dr. Strangelove" is a little bit of a special case, being a comedy, but the plot ultimately comes down to one order, one broken radio, and one uncontrollable machine.
