I like that you are also Barry Lyndon fans! I think people in 1968 were much more used to going to the movies as a big night out. They expected to sit through two films, and maybe even a few shorts. When television hit big in the 50s, moviegoing nights with a long feature became the main attraction of the theaters. That's all gone now and people would be shocked to see a feature film that had an intermission!
I just discovered the channel after the recent Godfather episode and 2001 is literally my all time favorite movie! Im so happy to hear you discuss it and hope you have a lovely day
I was lucky enough to watch it at TIFF in 70mm! I'd recommend you keeping an eye out for it, you won't regret the experience 😉 Does Anna's sequel take place before or after the official one from '84? 😆
The black screen isn't part of the movie 🙂 It's an overture. I think in the old days it's played while people are looking for their seats. It's included in the presentation to set the mood before the movie starts. But I suppose a black screen could be part of the movie... who can find this out? 😊
I like to make up an interpretation myself, it's a good exercise. So what I came up with is..., The monolith is a construction beyond the capability of early man. Just seeing this "inexplicable" thing is enough to set the spark of imagination in the primitive brain. If such a thing as this monolith is possible then what else is possible? And thus it sparked thinking and invention... and then tool was invented, the jawbone is a tool and a weapon. Does it make sense? For early man, the monolith is impossible... it appeared out of nowhere and somebody created it, yet it's impossible for technology of the time. What if we see something like that today - something impossible that is obviously manufactured or created by other beings because our technology cannot create it - what would it do to our minds? Would our minds jump a quantum leap simply because we've witnessed the impossible? I think knowing something we can create nor comprehend will cause a leap in imagination or a new way of thinking. HAL is a new creature, a new species of intelligence. In the early man there were two tribes of intelligences at that time and they fought for supremacy. So on the trip to Jupiter, HAL and humans fought to the death... for their place in the universe. Just some ideas. It's fun stuff.
