      I saw it during first week run at the Hollywood Pacific Theatre. Waiting for the movie to start, I realized some music (György Ligeti's "Atmospheres") was playing softly in the auditorium and growing in volume. As it grew louder I knew that the movie was starting. After what seemed like a really long time, the house lights dimmed and the curtains opened and eventually the MGM logo came up (I think), the Strauss theme started and away we went!

    I saw the premiere of 2001 in Cinerama, Toronto; 1968. I'll always remember the hushed anticipation of the audience as the lights dimmed down to black. Then came this introduction. We knew we were in for an incredible experience. It must be remembered that hardly anyone had ever heard Strauss' " Also Sprach Zarathustra " before this film. I later learned that the opening theme, titled ' Sunrise ' by the composer, had used an organ with a 32 foot pipe playing a sustained C note. Humans feel this note more than hear it. From the first frame, Kubrick was playing us! In retrospect, using the music choices of Kubrick was glorious.

    • @BlackGateofMordor
      @BlackGateofMordor 7 ปีที่แล้ว +76

      Renn__ E__ 35mm can still look this good (you can actually photograph it to 2160p before it starts looking fuzzy), but Kubrick was just an amazing director. If I remember correctly, this opening was actually done by using two cardboard circles for the Earth and Moon, moving them in front of the camera (which was inside a box covered in fabric) and then the hole at the end was the sun, and the stars are little pinpricks in the fabric. And yet it looks this amazing.

      It's meant to be played with the screen curtains closed and the theatre lights still partially on, like an opera overture. Then the MGM logo comes on as the curtains open. It's hard to get it right, you have to rehearse this with the projectionist first. I know because I've been in this situation once and it took some explaining NOT to fast forward the first reel past the "blank film", the guy was a bit annoyed when I told him to reload the projector from the beginning of the reel.

    My father (RIP Dad) took me to the opening as an 11 year old at the Loews Capital Theatre in down town Chicago, when that low C from the pipe organ started before the start of the movie the theatre went silent and the awe and wonder started. The greatest opening of any film EVER. There have been a million "space films" since then but none come close to the cinematic brilliance of Kubric.

    • @randomamerican5065

      It is the greatest simply because everything else was inspired by it. All other space media after had some effect, visualization, cliche, direct reference, or specialization from 2001.
      Even the biggest titles like Star Wars, future Star Trek’s, any space movie, game, or show took something from Kubricks ideas. Hell many media productions just outright use this song in space scenes.
      It was groundbreaking and earth shattering to the core and absolutely revolutionary changing the film industry forever. Many other stories are great, but this one is the greatest for inventing the the reason other things exist for it to be called the greatest lol

    I just saw this masterpiece re-released in it's original format complete with intermission and no digital components added - 2001 needs to be seen this way as Kuberick intended. Once in a life time does something like this opening come into being.

    Only the greatest film EVER. I first saw it back in 68. In 2001, a 70MM print was travelling the US and was in Manhattan in December. Consider how NYC felt that fall, after 9/11. I went to a screening of that print that December and for the next 142 minutes, after the film started, I was in that world and not ours. It was glorious.

      Assolutissimo! I saw it in London in 1968, also in 70mm and the full 6 track magnetic soundtrack. Utterly brilliant, to that 14-yr old, anyway!

    And by God, this scene sets the whole generation on fire whenever they hear this. The most grand, bombastic, deep and impressive opening scene for any film, which was only cultivated in the talents of Mr. Stanley Kubrick and Mr. Richard Strauss
    Huge respect for their craft.

    For everyone who says that 2001:ASO is overrated, no. Just no. It's an incredibly awesome movie, my favorite movie and one of the best movies ever made, but that's a personal opinion.
    But objectly speaking, this movie is not overrated

    • @MD-md4th
      @MD-md4th 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      This movie is grossly overrated with a disjointed structure and terrible acting. It is redeemed only by the soundtrack and some of the visuals. Regardless, I stll love the movie.

    • @seanjohnson663

      Matt D The "Disjointed structure" and the "Terrible Acting" proves you missed many of its hidden meanings.

    • @MD-md4th
      @MD-md4th 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There aren't "many" hidden meanings in the movie, there are a few, at least that are worthwhile. Believe me, I understand the movie far better than you do! Essentially it says mankind must bite off the head of the snake if we want to reach our potential. Do you know what that means? In the end 2001 would have been a huge failure without the musical selections which complimented its general weirdness.

    • @brunobitelli6184
      @brunobitelli6184 9 ปีที่แล้ว +53

      Matt D There's a lot more than that to the movie. Also, never start a conversation or an argument by saying you "understand the movie far better than..." without knowing who you're talking to, it comes off like a condescending and extremely arrogant person, unless you're one the many film experts that have being studying and dissecting this movie since the 60's, but I don't believe you were even born by that time. If you're going to disagree with someone just start by acknowledging that you, just like any other person, is limited by your own knowledge and can't judge someone over the internet, being humble always helps. And now as my argument, I understand that there's a lot of anti-2001 people out there, saying that there isn't a lot to it outside the visuals, but you gotta admit that this movie wouldn't have people arguing and analyzing for over 50 years if it was "just" a feast for the eyes.
