A Couple of Fun FactsĪccording to Wikipedia, Kubrick built an exceptionally large model of the ship so that focus changes did not give away the true small size to the audience. It was a mind-blowing sequence, from the illuminated tunnel time travel to the weird white and pastel room mixed with accelerated aging, dinner, and a death bed monolith before the final showdown. I had to Google the end sequence to get a better understanding of what was going on. As a YouTube comment by Boniface Ax pointed out, the genius thing is that “we can’t really be sure HAL meant what he was saying or if he was only trying to convince Dave not to shut him down.” When HAL is deactivated by Dave, the AI repeats “I can feel it” numerous times…and that made me sad to the depths of my soul despite the AI’s insidious actions not too long ago. HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. I’m afraid I can’t do that.ĭave: HAL, I won’t argue with you anymore! Open the doors! You’re going to find that rather difficult. I’ll go in through the emergency airlock. One of my favorite exchanges was between the AI HAL and Dave:ĭave: Alright, HAL. But that simply made the speech and musical score stand out all the more. There’s no dialogue at all in the first ten minutes. There wasn’t a ton of conversation in many scenes of this eerily quiet movie.

2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY THEME SONG HOW TO
the ape learning how to use a tool with its hands for the first time.Some of the scenes that I’ll always remember include: This film definitely has a slow start…but the pace became less noticeable to me after the first half hour. The Berlin Philharmonic orchestra consistently ranks as one of the top orchestras in the world, often holding the number one spot in this regard. His hair and energy levels are also out of this world. Gustavo Dudamel is the name of the Venezuelan conductor in the YouTube. This rendition by the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra is out of this world. It was originally inspired by the book of the same name by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. “Also sprach Zarathustra” was composed by Richard Strauss way back in 1896. I initially thought that it had been composed specially for the film (oops). The iconic 2001: Space Odyssey theme song is actually titled “Also sprach Zarathustra.” desert – monolith – music – ape – bone – outer space – music – moon landing – AI – murder – time travel tunnel – monolith / music / space baby – music and head explosion – heart eyes – fire (in terms of the film being exceptional) Kubrick and Music Speaking of emotions, if I had to summarize this film’s storyline in emojis, here’s what it would look like: If one of my recommendations inspires someone else to check it out and they get an equal amount of joy and satisfaction from it, I’d consider my blog posts and accompanying audio blog episodes to be a success. So this post or review will be coming from a mostly emotional perspective. When I enjoy a work of art, I enjoy it immensely in a way that is often not very rational. I’d like to preface this by saying that my book and other reviews on this blog are not always academic or analytical. There are scenes or themes in both films that elicited a very visceral and emotional response from me as a viewer. That was the reaction I had at the end of A Clockwork Orange and 2001: Space Odyssey. The classic red space suit in 2001: A Space Odyssey “What the heck did I just watch?!!” It was the 4th or 5th Stanley Kubrick film I sat down to watch.įYI, the other Kubrick films I’ve seen in order are: Lolita, Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’d been warned by a couple of people that it was an extremely slow-paced film, so that’s the mindset I had going into it. I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey some time last year when it was on Netflix.
WARNING: There will be some spoilers, so please keep that in mind if you know nothing about this film. Holy smokes, just thinking about completing this blog post gets me all sorts of excited!
