Needed some background.
Also read a recent article stating that she once said she does not regret working for Kubrick for this movie.
But still, one is left to wonder...
this territory is moderated
She changed her opinions about Kubrick. Sometimes she blamed him, sometimes she defended him. I think that's part of the trauma that movie caused in her spirit and mind. It's ridiculous that a scene requires 127 takes, that's absolutely absurd. Sometimes a filming causes problems. The protagonist of The Exorcist had problems with her spine, neck, etc., due to the complexity of the scenes. But they were accidents, it's not that the director wanted to make her suffer to prove a point. I think Kubrick wanted to make people suffer. As Lars Von Triers currently does. But perhaps we will never know the truth of what Duvall suffered.

Yeah, trauma does that to people. We will perhaps never know indeed.
I kinda wanna rewatch some of his movies now though. Clockworks orange comes to mind of course. I watched it as a 15 year old in school, that was an intense experience...

The Kubrick film I want to see again is Full Metal Jacket. There are some very good and strong scenes.
