Alfonso Cuarón and Stanley Kubrick
Even though Kubrick and Cuarón have different nationality, interests and styles in filmmaking, they share some similarities; we want to share with you a little comparative styles of filmmaking.

Youth:
Both Cuarón and Kubrick, enjoyed using cameras in their teen years, they spent a lot of time taking photographs, making films and going to cinema. Although Kubrick performance in school was very bad, his father always supported him, and tried to cheer him up, while in the case of Cuarón this was not quite the same, his family never supported his interests in cinema, and he was forced to study Philosophy in College, but on his own he started to study filmmaking in the afternoons.

Personality – Risk takers:
Cuarón is a person that doesn't care what other people said about the possibility of making his films, he is an entrepreneur and a risk taker, and he received a lot of comments about the cons of filming ‘Gravity’, even that he took the risk and made the film. Cuarón is known to be very rigorous and sometimes a pain, but people recognize his work because reflects quality. Something similar happens with Kubrick, he was risk taker with a strong character and determination; no one can doubt the man had a rich talent of realizing cinema as a grand; something necessary in the film industry.

Relationship with coworkers:
Cuarón uses to consult coworkers (other famous filmmakers) to know about their opinions, critics and suggestions. In the other hand, Kubrick used to be called a mythical character focused on his own ideas as an impenetrable fortress.

As leaders:
Cuarón represents a strong profile as a leader, he knows how to make effective teams and knows how to be persuasive, and his great work has helped him to reach that. Even though Kubrick is known for being distant, his reputation of being perfectionist and making great movies has helped him to manage the interaction with the crew and cast. So, being rigorous and perfectionist while doing a great work, without doubt is a quality a leader requires.

Styles of filmmaking:

Kubrick and Cuarón have a commonality on the filmmaking style. Both known as rigorous, “a pain”, precise, impossible, persistent, controller, focused and very creative for making something great.
