For all the people who illegally streamed this movie and needed to check if the screen was black or not
Jordan lol guilty here.
Haha mentalist shit, so true
Yeah I am one of them
Bro you are lit....XD
Exactly.
Most people don't realise, but this is the first time you see the monolith.
What the fuck
Not sure about that - there were specific instructions from Kubrick to play the blank section with the houselights on and curtains closed. You then dimmed the lights and opened the curtains just in time for the lion.
@@MysteryManfrom79 well, maybe even he didn't realize he was sucked into the monolith 😳
We are the movie
Batman wasn’t kidding when he said “Black, all important movies start with a black screen. And music, edgy, scary music that would make a parent or studio executive nervous.”
...Lego Batman 😂😂😂😂
@@Texaca that’s the one
The first 3 minutes of black is the equivalent of staring straight into the void, every audience member was dead silent in the theatre, absolutely stunning
Or… the equivalent of _’The Monolith’._
Turn the screen sideways.
Believe it or not, the instructions from Kubrick given to projectionists was to play this with the houselights still on and the curtain closed - it's on the net somewhere! Same for the second part intro.
I wonder how many people stepped out of the auditorium to tell theatre staff that the projector wasn't working.
Movie theaters had curtains back then and the music was playing with the curtains closed. The lights were gradually dimmed until the MGM logo hit the screen.
@@kolmilan This could be the Mandella effect, but I swear I saw it on TV and those few minutes of black actually said "Overture" on the screen.
kolmilan another example of Lawrence Of Arabia's intro also
@@Jiji-the-cat5425 Video and TV copies would have "Overture" superimposed on the screen so the audience wouldn't think there was something wrong.
overtures were common in those days to set the mood
The most frightening thing in the universe: the unknown
...Nope! ....the most frightening thing in the Universe is Stupid and Ignorant people who believe in Qanon, people who believe in 5G, Covid and "Stop-the-Steal" conspiracies, people who believe in tRump (aka #PresidentCheetolini), and those that think he's a Yuuuuuuuge and tremendous Leader.
That's Phucking Frightening 🤨
@@Texaca knock knock
@@Texaca ...nice segue.
the fact they cut this out of the version on HBO Max is a crime
Idk if Max movies on Amazon Prime Video are the same as they are on the actual Max streaming platform, but I saw this movie last night with a Max subscription and they kept the blank scenes in.
@@Mr.Face222_They’re not “Blank Scenes”:_ Look at the screen sideways.

Basically the reason why Stanley Kubrick wanted to show a black screen for three minutes is so that he can make the audience expect something. Then the trumpets blow and the titles show.
I also feel like it may have represented something more. Considering the Monoliths that appeared in the films only did so when something evolutionary had occurred, I like to think that the first minutes of black shows before the universe was created. There was nothing. Then all of a sudden the universe arises and so does the Monolith.
Renn__ E__ I thought it was for ambience and had to do with the creation of our world
Most theaters back in 1968 had screen curtains. The curtains would be closed while the overture played. Once it was over, the lights would dim, the curtains would open, and the film would begin.
Holy fuck, that's brilliant!!
@@MysteryMii that's what I think. It was an interlude before the film started to get the mood right
Saw this movie first at the age of 13 and was thrilled to death. It still remains one of the best movies I've ever seen.
This blank screen" is" the monolith ... just turned sideways
I had the opportunity to see this at the Cinerama Dome on its 50th Anniversary screening and it was one of the greatest experiences of my life. It was screened using the original camera negatives in 70 mm. The opening overture made my hair stand on end. Amazing...
How did Stanley Kubrick came up with movie he’s such a genius on movies
His movies deal with the dehumanization of man.
One of the best openings to a movie ever. You not know of what your about to watch, but it will be unlike anything you've seen before. Love it or hate it, 2001 is of the greatest movies of all time, and this opening is the only kind that could do it justice.
sitting there just hearing this unsettling music with black screen just makes u think.
Scariest 3 mintues ever
Sunday August 29@ 5PM MDT- *NEWS*
Thanks Bob.
@@GRAMINATION1290 thanks noah
@@idislikemanythings2183 thanks Quinn
@@sean9920 thanks Sean
That tripped me out to the max when Hal read their lips.
What’s even deeper is we’re staring at the monolith in this scene; ourselves; what the monolith represents
Mason, it's not blacked out. This is the opening scene, three minutes long, and it has sound, if you move the right knob, "in crescendo", but not image; it's total blackness, the True Beggining of Our Time, and has a lot of significance for the whole plot.
aesoler interesting theory
Vegalus why else would it be there
My dvd version features this and its great!
Or, y'know, just an overture.
Also, it just used to be a thing to have a blackscreen with music for a minute or so in front of the movie. Star Trek etc. also did that
The first time I've watched 2001, I searched on Google if this intro was supposed to happen. 😂
Same😅

Just this opening scene alone makes this movie a masterpiece.
3 minutes of a black screen. Yes! Absolutely! Greatest movie of all time 💀💀
I saw this movie when it first came out, in Cinerama, a curved, wide screen format. It was a big deal. I have the original program booklet that they sold at the opening. It is still one of my favorites.
I remember very clearly one night, when i turned the TV on so many years ago, switch programs randomly and then suddenly, black screen with some noise in the background. I was hooked immediately and I could not resist the movie :).
+John Gesselberty I know this is an old comment, but I'm curious about something. Was this black screen in the theatrical release? Was it common to have overtures play during a black screen like this? Thanks :)
+Robert Smith yes is was in the theater and no this was not common at all its was very unconventional. It is a true masterpiece.
Major releases were done in large and opulent theaters which had stage curtains. An overture was played with the curtain closed. As the movie began, the curtain opened to reveal the screen. There was also an intermission with music. The intermission for 2001 took place right after Frank & Dave have their conversation in the pod about disconnecting Hal.
John Gesselberty Thank you
Thats what was going on before the big bang
I think it is the creation of the " First Born " or the " First Born " creating the earth's solar system.
came to check if my video was not corrupted
For those who don't know, you are literally watching a horizontal "monolith" for 3 minutes straight. The movie is what will enlighten us as a specie.
If there’s any good reason to try psychedelics, this movie is one of them
Why is this opening scene not in every version of the movie? It sets the tone.
imagine hearing this deep in space
I'd lose my shit...
Imagine if this song played everytime the sun came up on your side of the world.
It would get so annoying after a while
it would be annoying forsure lol
Imagine if this song played in theaters before the opening credits to Alien (1979)
Amazing way to start off this film. It made me feel like I blasted off into space. Genius
Like you got transported to another dimension.
The quality of this video is blasphemous.
3:08 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Tell the truth ... when you sat in the theatre and watched this incredible opening -- didn't you KNOW you were about to experience something you had NEVER SEEN BEFORE ... ?
I just recently went to a theatre and saw a screening of it. Before the film began, the projection man came out to introduce it and he asked how many of us in the audience were seeing it for the first time. NEARLY HALF OF THE AUDIENCE RAISED THEIR HANDS, and I was just thinking “Wow, these people have literally no idea what they’re about to experience!”
The music sound so scary, idk how it feels like when just walking to cinema with this
This is just the kind of movie opening to make our Earth feel like a very special place. 🌎🌏🌍
If you think about it, the way that the song becomes more dramatic or tends to expressed some sort of fantastic discovery, it always out the feeling of everything that unfolds in the film itself.
I had the great privilege of seeing this uncut version (i.e. the complete overture) at the Chichester Film Festival in July 2001 (@ the New Park Cinema) . A representative from the Kubrick estate had loaned their print for the occasion.
One of the greatest opening scenes of one of the greatest films of all time.
Rip to the TikTok generation who thought that the screen was broken
Love watching on the big screen in total darkness
HBO Max removed the first half of the intro to this movie. Terrible move by them- it sets the tone for the movie
This is an experience.
greatest film in cinema history
This movie and the squeal of it were both good. When I watch it at first before it started, I thought my DVD system was not working but the sound in two minutes until the screen finally shows up. lol Reminds me of Family Guy 80's montage opening scene. It was just like that happen to me.
WOOOOOOOO! The Nature Boy. Ric Flair!
so chilling and exciting. never knew this before actually seeing this in a theater.
...Genius.
Did not get the film first time. Then I read the book. Now I love it.
Just saw this in the cinema for the first time and OH MY WOW!
What chrome plated balls he had, to start his epic out with almost 3 minutes of a black screen. Then again, I suppose that black screen is the time viewers see the monolith.
If the people who put the monolith on Earth saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, they would absolutely love it!
I remember when I first watched this on DVD I thought the disc was busted during this because of the black screen lol
How many of you are watching this video on 1080p
I legit bought this on iTunes and thought this was a glitch. But turns out when I stayed for 3 minutes while researching, it was always meant to be part of the movie 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😁😂😂
Absolutely spectacular!
Holy fuck!!! The first scene i thought my tv was broken thats why i had to check that black screen xD 😂😂😂😂
Stanley Kubrick.
WOOOOOOOO!
Come back to this after watching The Zone of Interest
Same. That was such an unforgettable experience and the first three minutes reminded me of this.
Tuesday March 21, 2017 @ 3:30AM MDT on TCM, it explored the darkside of summer ending on Sunday August 29 @ 5PM MDT, with it being pitch dark 50 minutes later in a town southwest of Calgary, Alberta! It wasn't supposed to get dark out until after 8 o'clock!
The awe and mystery of outer space!
That makes this the scariest movie ever by MGM! WHY DO THEY MAKE A CREEPY BLACK SCREEN INTRODUCTION FOR 3 MINUTES LIKE THIS????!!!!!!!!!!!
The music on the opening black scene (before Also Spracht..) is "Atmosphères" (1961) from György Ligeti.
Fun fact: HBO deleted this in their version of 2001, so you go straight into Thus Spake Zarathustra...
Well I'm never watching it on HBO I'll just stick to the 4K Disc
Now that’s terrible!
That's why I looked it up here in TH-cam, HBOMAX didn't include the beginning, they may think it's pointless but I think it's a beautiful start of the movie.
One of the creepiest intros to a movie ever! Someone needs to make a horror movie that starts like this! I think close encounters with the Third Kind sort of does but much shorter?
Nobody said this yet but black screen symbolize monolith so like we see monolith for first time, its crazy noone has commented this yet.
Chills
It's too bad about the MGM logo. I think it would be a lot better without it.
Wrong!
2:52 It's so obnoxious.
Well, it makes a lot more sense since the theaters curtains would be closed during the overture. Also, it beats having the regular MGM logo with the roaring lion since that logo would take away the wow factor in the opening.
At least it uses the rarely used stylized logo, and not the classic one with Leo the Lion roaring. That would be obnoxious as hell.
There were some pretty strick rules about opening titles back then. I that Francis Ford Coppola was kicked out of the directors guild for a while because he omitted opening titles from "Apocalypse Now!" And I think it was "It's a Wonderful Life" and maybe some other movies that slipped into public domain at some point because they did not run the copyright declaration in the titles.
Thought my TV was broken first time I watched this 😂
Im frightened!!
Holy shit. So this is the first time I’m watching this movie I got it from half price books cuz I thought “why not I need to watch it everyone else tells me I should” anyways fast forward I decided to smoke a little with my bro and was ready to watch this movie and Jesus Christ man I legit though this entire intro thing here was like if I a problem with my blu ray. I try to look through and I thought wtf man don’t tell me I got a fucked up copy haha. But yea man I’m wayyy to baked to even try to fix it and so here I am now realizing like a idiot that it’s supposed to be that and not a glitch lmfaooooo. Anyways man this movie is great.
No amount of video essay cant convince me that 3 minutes of black screen are necessary, you can achieve the same effect with 45 seconds, 1 minute max
The 3 minute sequence of a black screen with the stargate music isn't in the HBO Max version.
That sucks
I love how it is three minutes of blackness and an eerie humming, just to get the audience in the right mindset.
Next year this opening would be great for the Cincinnati webn fireworks to celebrate the golden anniversary of this movie
Le 28 juillet 2016, je l’ai écouté avant de me coucher.
Just bought the 4K movie disc and never seen the movie. About 45 seconds in I started to get suspicious and my now I’m here. What a weird intro.
I think it is the creation of the " First Born " or the " First Born " creating the earth's solar system.
hmm i feel like evolving now
I wonder how people must have reacted to watching this black screen for longer than 2 minutes in cinema halls
At 1:20 is when "they" plant the monolith on earth right?...that's what Ive read
I was on LSD the first time i see this
Me too and this made me have a god damn panic attack. I thought the sound would make me go insane for sure.
@@Funnylittleman no kidding. I wouldn't ever watch this on a psychedelic. If I were on a psychedelic, shpongle or euphoric music by pink floyd and the like would be the way to go, lol
I put the bluray version in my player and the first thing that showed before this was a couple lines of text that i dont remember and ''Visa N. 34638''. Anyone knows what it is? i searched and didnt find anything
_Look at your screen sideways…_
*The Monolith.*
There Must have a lot of people who try too fixed the cables of there Tv Input watching this for the First Team
Wooooooooo
Estos 3 minutos dan mas miedo que cualquier pelicula de terror actual
I thought the disc I bought off eBay was fucked up when I saw this
I'm not sure I'm the only who searched for this to make sure that black screen for 3 minutes is legit or not
Oh the score at the beginning… absolutely haunting…
That piece was also used extensively in A Warning to the Curious as one of many audio cues used to let you know that the spectre was near, and it’s utterly terrifying.
Music so good that Elvis stole it for his show.
Does the song have a name that's playing in the background?
Atmospheres, by Ligeti
@@benpowell5007 RIGHT! 100% correct!
Le 18 mai 2018, je l’ai vu.
whats up with the beginning?
It’s an overture.
bucklakelukie And during an Overture, the theater curtains would be closed. Once it was over, the lights would dim, the curtains would open, and the film would begin.
I think it is the creation of the " First Born " or the " First Born " creating the earth's solar system.

This film is no doubt inspired by Lawrence of Arabia. Fantastic.
😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
Sorry. I fell asleep during the opening credits.
This opening with the black screen I believe is an introduction to the central problem that the film addresses and hopes the audience will learn how to overcome.
Simply put: Nihilism
The NIHILISM that resulted from the cultural shift of the French Revolution and the rise of the ideas of the enlightenment era. The rejection of God.
The music here is meant to inspire awe. The level of awe that one would experience in the presence of God .. the creator of space + the entire Universe as we know it.
