The persistent theme of his filmmaking is less violence or sex than it is the pressurized exertion of masculinity in unusual or extreme circumstances, where it may be taxed or exaggerated to various effects, tragic and comic—or metamorphosed, distorted, and even undone.\u003cbr\u003e The stories that Kubrick's movies tell range from global nuclear politics to the unpredictable sexual dynamics of a marriage; from a day in the life of a New York City prizefighter preparing for a nighttime bout to the evolution of humankind. These male melodramas center on sociality and asociality. They feature male doubles, pairs, and rivals. They explore the romance of men and their machines, and men as machines. They figure intensely conflicted forms of male sexual desire. And they are also very much about male manners, style, taste, and art.\u003cbr\u003e Examining the formal, thematic, and theoretical affiliations between Kubrick's three bodies of work—his photographs, his documentaries, and his feature films—\u003ci\u003eKubrick's Men\u003c\/i\u003e offers new vantages on to the question of gender and sexuality, including the first extended treatment of homosexuality in Kubrick's male-oriented work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Kubrick and the Men's Film   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Men's Pictures   13\u003cbr\u003e Photography • Fight Films • Documentary\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e War Films: \u003ci\u003eNapoleon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFear and Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePaths of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDr. Strangelove\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2001: A Space Odyssey \u003c\/i\u003e  43\u003cbr\u003e Maximal Kubrick • Generic War • What Becomes a Man: Decoration and Decorum •\u003cbr\u003e The Essence of Men, or Loving the Bomb • Homo Bellicus\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Male Sexuality and Homosexuality I: \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eKilling\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpartacus\u003c\/i\u003e   87\u003cbr\u003e Two Normal Guys • Killing Time • At the Baths\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e Male Sexuality and Homosexuality II: \u003ci\u003eBarry Lyndon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Clockwork \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eOrange\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEyes Wide Shut\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Shining\u003c\/i\u003e   122\u003cbr\u003e Homosexuals in History • Resucked • Where the Rainbow Ends • Kubrick's Apparitional Homosexuals\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5\u003c\/b\u003e His Fundamental Core: \u003ci\u003eFull Metal Jacket\u003c\/i\u003e   168\u003cbr\u003e Head Like a Hole • Field-Fuck • \"This Is for Fighting!
