There's an added wrinkle to this story: Kubrick initially used Johann Strauss II's The Blue Danube as a temporary placeholder while editing 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick had actually planned to use original music for the film, but during the editing process, he found that Strauss' waltz fit perfectly with the scenes, particularly the sequences involving the space station and spacecraft docking. Given that the film was made in the mid-'60s, he was somewhat concerned that older viewers might associate the piece with radio shows and film of traditional Viennese ballroom dancing, with an associated nostalgic, lighthearted context which could undermine the serious, futuristic tone he was seeking. However, the elegance and sense of timelessness that The Blue Danube brought to the visuals made it an ideal choice, and Kubrick ultimately decided to keep it in the final cut. Here it is in all its glory th-cam.com/video/SpvOUnz4T7Q/w-d-xo.html .

The Man dances with the World at his feet!! Stanley Kubrick is a Genius, is a Divinity!!

When you watch this you realise that space travel is mankind's greatest achievement

I can see the devs that made elite dangerous got a lot of inspiration from this movie seeing as they used the space station design and the docking sequence plus the music makes it so much sense now

Kubrick é um dos maiores gênios do cinema

This film was more than just movie, It was a unique experience.

Server error. I had to override the server to post this. "Sorry, I can't let you do that, Mark" I can't wait till mankind kills off most of the world population with its wars and rumors of war, famine and false religion. What remains will kill themselves off with their Nietzsche style ideology. I just laugh when I watch this. Actually, I just changed devices and retyped it. Note: Pan American doesn't exist anymore.

Space dystopia with Karajans Donau

I was 7 when my Dad took my Brothers and me to see this in the theater when it came out. I was convinced it was all going to happen, in my lifetime. It gave me what I suppose was a kind of naive optimism about the future, but I am glad I had it.

This movie was made 4 years before I was born (1972) and it is still amazing!

In the spaceship cockpit sim game, Elite: Dangerous, you have to dock with rotating space stations that have a similar "mailslot" entrance. They were directly inspired by this scene. In the game, if your ship has an automatic docking computer, once you give control of the ship over to this autopilot, it docks your ship for you---while playing Blue Danube.

Still to me the best looking movie ever

I was 13 when this came out and I was blown away by. No one had ever made a movie like this, and no one has done so since. Now I'm 70 and I love this all over again.

The greatest and most epic intro to any film......Of. All. Time.

GO GAMECOCKS!

Wow this movie was so ahead of it's time, it's a shame the optimism and hope for the future of the late 1960's was lost...

Kubrick wasnt just genious, he was really serious about making good movies. 2001 is one of the only sci-fi movies which really take the "sci" part into real consideration. i'd miss him anyway, but i would miss him less if sci-fi film makers were really doing there job at their best as he did. in 10 sci-fi movies, how many can be called reallistic? "fun" is ok, but i often need more, like seeing a possible future, not a fantasy-like future where starships fly in space like planes for instance...

Esse vídeo é a prova que QUALQUER vídeo vai ter dislikes, não importa quão bom seja.

no shit captain

that was 11 years ago...

The first time I saw the movie, I noticed something looked wrong, but not what. The next time I saw what it was.

ah, you mean the cockpit scene; yeah, the shadows of the spinning station seem to be static. For a moment I thought the shadows weren't moving because the little spaceship was moving in synchronization with the spinning space station, thus making the shadows look static from the crew's point of view.

At about 4:50, the great perfectionist Kubrick let a BIG mistake by his effects crew slip trough. As we se the spinning spacestation from the shuttle crews point of view, the shadows on the station have stopped moving over its surfaces. It looks like the sun orbits the station in a synchronous orbit...

By the way 1968 was 44 years ago and still that rotating space station is the most realistic i've seen yet (after 44 years!!!!!)

Thank god this was the work of the late Mr. Cubrick (god bless his soul), otherwise it would be Disney property in this days...

Genious... end of story,,,

I agree, epic masterpiece, and my No. one forever..............

Man, this Kubrick had EVERYTHING calculated. Did you noticed that at the end of the clip, where the doors are sliding open, the first thing you see is only the woman's nice pair of legs. Just pause it, and see what I mean. Even this shot, like the folks are saying below, has a artistic photographic symmetry.

Film with best shot composition. Each frame has great composition. Incredible use of rule of 3rd, symmetry and all other compositions technique widely known in photography.

Actually, if one knows how the scenes were created, it wasn't THAT hard and complicated, even if no one had used all the technologies before. Some scenes, with the spaceships moving through space with Moon or Earth in the frame, were double exposures, filmed by winding back the film in the camera and moving the camera on a rail past the model, after first having filmed, for example, a picture of Earth on the same negative. The camera movements along the rail were computer controlled.

Also, you try to accomplish this in 1968. Its damn near impossible with the technology they had at the time to create something like this, and Kubrick pulled through. Doesn't that say anything?

Oh wow, I just realized the space plane has Pan Am on the side of it. lol

Oh yeah, it would definitely most likely be faster paced and have more dialogue and probably explain things more. The book certainly has much less ambiguity to it than the film does

So I'm guessing you would be unhappy if a remake was made of this film. And what I mean by that is one that follows the book closer

A MASTERPIECE!!!

amazed

This film amazad me when I was 18, back in '69. Since then, I've seen it more than 16 times

Best montage ever!

Many of the effects Kubrick used can only be used in space movies, where there is a black background, since they involved double exposure. That means that he filmed several objects, like planets and spaceships on the same negative, winding back the film in the camera between takes. Therefore we NEVER see a spaceship overlapping a brigthly illuminated planet, for example.

Yes, many ignorants say that Kubrick directed the Apollo films. Funny, because "2001" and those films have no similarity at all and Kubrick didn't INVENT the effects he used. He had a staff of special effects people, among them the famous Douglas Trumbull.

Fun Fact: The earth is painted mostly blue here, because at the time the movie was made, there was no photograph of earth from outside the planet available.

common! you didn't offend me, i was merely pointing out my opinion on the subject.
