Stanley Kubrick was a legendary filmmaker known for his obsession with perfection. His last film, Eyes Wide Shut, starred Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who were instructed by Kubrick to stay away from each other on set. Despite the director's demanding filming methods, Cruise defended him and worked tirelessly to achieve the desired result. However, he suffered health issues due to the stress of filming. Co-star Vinessa Shaw praised Kubrick's ability to create a unique atmosphere without giving answers. Unfortunately, Kubrick passed away before the release of Eyes Wide Shut.
