Stanley Kubrick's Cat

A Midjourney Prompt Teardown and Reconstruction

I came across an interesting prompt on the Midjourney feed and figured it would make a nice example for a prompt teardown.

The Midjourney prompt aims at creating an image that looks like it’s a still a Stanley Kubrick film. If you don’t know his work, Stanley Kubrick was an American movie director who delivered classics such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dr Strangelove, and Spartacus.

Kubrick's style is characterized by minimal use of dialogue, relying on visually stunning cinematography and soundtrack to tell the story.
