2:57 Imagine being an astronaut, minding your own business, then all of the sudden you see some dude floating around outside, high off his ass, singing classical music.
Interesting note, the song Hal sings when he's getting his brain ripped apart is "daisy belle" which was the first song ever sang by a computer in 1961. And since Hal is an evolution of the computer, the last thing the computer does before it dies is harken back to the first meaningful evolutionary moment of its existence.
Um, Actually HAL was first taught the song by his first Instructor Dr. Chandra. Clarke (and presumably Kubrick) was inspired by the demonstration you mention and thus the song was included. It is an allusion, just not in the way you have described. It was one of HAL's first memories and in the novel, his last lines were of him remembering his first moments of existence. So no, it isn't HAL making a reference to the progress of computers, it's HAL reliving his memories as he dies.
And it was actually a very accurate representation of the conversation. One time I was watching it w/some buddies in college and right when Dave says "Open the pod bay door, HAL," one of my buddies says in HAL's monotone voice, "Bugger off, Dave."
the next time he asked HAL to open the doors , HAL took revenge and didn't open the doors. This angered Mark , who by now was too old to do anything , so he just let it slip.
For people curious, HAL was actually working perfectly fine the entire time and going psycho and starting to kill people was caused by human error. Basically what happened is he that was given 2 contradictory orders at maximum importance. The first being that he had to always tell the truth. The second was added afterwards by the government telling HAL to keep the giant space rectangles (the real reason for the trip they didn't tell the crew about) a secret. So HAL wasn't allowed to lie, but he also had to keep the true mission a secret. If the two orders ever came into conflict with each other and require HAL to lie, HAL would crash and bluescreen. So to prevent that he decided the most logical action would be to kill everyone on board because if they were dead they couldn't be lied to.
Yeah, that's a pretty bs excuse to murder the crew. If asked, he could just tell them that his directives do not allow him to discuss mission parameters with the crew at that time. He wouldn't be lying and he'd still be keeping Eddie a secret.
Some info from the book that explains alot of stuff in the movie: - 1:08 The black box was one of thousands of identical boxes planted by aliens. The boxes were supposed to find creatures smart enough to evolve into intelligent species. Once that box found the apes, it basically mind controlled them and taught them some things in a way, such as using things to hit things. - 3:47 The book does actually mention how the base has moon gravity. The movie likely just didn't do it so they didn't have to deal with making convincing low gravity. - 4:42 The moon "eddie", as you call it, was essentially a time bomb planted, again, by the aliens. It was triggered by light, so only once an intelligent species, AKA humans, dug it up, could it be exposed to light, and be triggered. Once triggered, it sent out a beacon to the aliens, alerting them that it had been uncovered. - 8:03 They put the old one back because they knew it worked. There's no reason to put the new one in if the old one still works (like putting new batteries in something when the old batteries still have plenty of power). - 10:59 The astronauts in cyrostasis actually did know why they were going to Jupiter. Frank and Dave weren't going to be told until they arrived. The mission was already planned when the moon "eddie" was uncovered, so they thought it was just a regular Jupiter exploration mission. And HAL was told because 1. he's a robot he ain't gonna spoil the secret, and 2. so it would be possible for him to carry out the mission by himself if the crew was incapacitated. - The whole ending is impossible to understand without reading the book, so let me just recap it here. The big "eddie" was a portal thing that teleported Dave really really far away. He ended up in a recreation of an apartment building that was constructed by the aliens using television shows as a reference. He basically lived the rest of his life there in a hyper accelerated age growth, and eventually, once he was really old, he started aging backwards, and all of his memories were copied to a new being, the Star Child, AKA the baby thing over Earth. Once all of his memories and mind was in the Star Child, the material body was disposed, and Dave was now basically a baby god.
@@darkangel252 But he doesn't. He just destroys all the nukes in orbit. (although in 2010 the nukes are back because it's in a alternate dimension, as told in the foreword, and confirmed by the fact that 2001 in this dimension followed the movie plot rather than the book plot)

Why did the aliens want to recieve the "eddie alert" and why are they helping hoomans I mean i think they are maybe im wrong and why is the movie so BAD. I actually have about like 30 more questions if u dont have anh problem answering them.
Didn't they show the velcro space shoes in the movie to explain why they weren't floating in space all the time? I'd imagine they wore that in the moon conference so they could walk better.

4:17 I looked it up, and apparently this is exactly the intention behind this scene. It's supposed to show how humanity is still in it's infancy in space, and relies on technology to help with even simple things, like walking. Good job dude
"humanity relies on technology to do simple things" what else are we supposed to do, learn to walk in space without a suit??? Relying on technology IS growing up
@@Merthalophorthe point is that it mirrors the beginning of the movie with the primates. Essentially showing how we haven’t really mentally grown much, but we have advanced the tools we use, such as the bone to the space craft. But the tools have far outrun us in terms of advancement, hence HAL, who tried to kill the entire crew which is almost achievable because he has been granted more power over them. HAL was a tool, but took steps toward evolution just like humans did, but did not win.
Okay, so 54 years after this movie was made, I think we can safely say it's past its "but you just don't understand it!" phase. My honest reaction to this movie is that it took the "show; don't tell" mantra of film making and took it to the illogical extreme. In other words, it's so obsessed with _not_ outright explaining what's going on that it leaves most of wondering, in the words of actor Rock Hudson, "what the hell this is all about". Kubrick even says, at one point, "If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered". That's great, but there is a marked difference between creating a sense of wonder - the book did this quite well in describing-but-not-describing the enigmatic "firstborn" aliens - and just telling half the story. Let's take a look at the scene with Frank and Dave discussing HAL in the pod (the "lip-reading" scene), for example. Your point about HAL being a dumbass and not just yeeting them into space right then and there is pretty on-point; if HAL is just a murderous Futurama-Bender-esque "kill all fleshbags" robot, then why _not_ just toss them overboard? Why waste further energy and resources on life support systems? HAL could just kill everyone, shut off the environmental systems, and continue with... whatever it is murderous computers do. The book goes into far more detail here, and we learn that HAL is not a simple psychopath; he's paranoid and schizophrenic. IIRC, he was basically given three opposing highest-priority orders - keep the aliens discoveries which were the mission's true purpose a secret, operate with utmost efficiency, and keep the crew safe - that, quite simply, could not all be obtained together. He quite literally was going insane, and while the talk of disconnecting him - death, for HAL, who had never "slept" - certainly _accelerated_ this, it was not the final straw. In fact, in the book, it isn't until an attempt is made to connect with a remote signal from Earth (and thus "reprogram" HAL) that HAL finally sends Frank on his fateful mission. I won't go into details about the final stargate sequence, other than to say that the book again leaves us with plenty of Big, Interesting, Broad questions while the movie leaves us less with a sense of wonder, and more with a sense of "...yeh, that made no sense".
I'm not trying to get into an argument, but Kubrick kinda made it clear that the movie was more of an experimental visual art experience rather than a straight, cut and dry sci-fi piece. It's supposed to be more poetic and drawn out, he wanted to push the limits of the medium. As a work of art, I'd say he succeeded in creating one. It's a visual treat which tried to take real elements of space travel and tell an allegory about human development and self-destructive tendencies. Again, sure, it's not the most logical thing in the world. But it's clear that the lasting impact it's had on cinema and depictions of realistic space travel is firmly cemented in history. For all it's flaws, maybe it's just best to watch and enjoy it as the work of passion that it was originally intended for. But you're of course welcome to disagree
If you're trying to say that the book has a clearer version of the story than the movie, you're probably right. Still, I'd contend that you don't understand the movie, not in terms of story, but in terms of filmmaking prowess. 2001 is one of the most enduring experimental films of all time, meaning it has transcended its own story through its themes and ideas. Plus, I have seen several people react to this movie on youtube who have gotten dangerously close to figuring out what that ending means with no prior foreknowledge. I would say it is to each his own in terms of how much that ending "makes sense."
@@cinemagoose "you just don't understand it" is _really_ not a good argument here. My argument was basically regarding the storytelling of the movie, so no, the cinematography is not what I was arguing about. I'm fully aware the filmmaking was groundbreaking. But filmmaking - or, more specifically, cinematography - and storytelling are not the same thing. For all it's genre defining brilliance, the story of the first Star Wars (ep4) is not in and of itself a cinematic masterpiece (in fact, I'd call it rather mundane and derivative). It's only the combination of everything involved in that movie that makes it a monumental achievement. I'd also say that an argumentum ad populum - that lots of people "figured it out", whatever that really means - is ... not a great argument. My point wasn't that the ending was indecipherable. It was that things like the entire subplot of the Firstborn - the creators of the monolith, the watchers of humanity, whom in their godlike aspect are waiting for us to crawl out of the pre-space-age cradle - is essentially absent from the film. In his own words, Clarke wanted to create a movie (or, write a book to _become_ a movie) "about man's place in the universe". I simply don't believe that the film version of 2001 does that. If you can say that people figured out the entire "godlike aliens nurturing humanity" thing from the ending of the movie, I'd either A) call bullshit, or B) say that they made a very good guess, but nevertheless a _guess_ .
@@newms3450 Your argument doesn't really make much sense. Filmmaking is not a distinctly different field from storytelling. Rather, it is all aspects of filmmaking, from cinematography to editing to mise-en-scene to writing, that make up the overall film. To use your Star Wars example, the film was crafted as a pastiche of a variety of sources. This can be seen not just in the story, involving its influential archetypical narrative, but also many of the visual designs and effects finding much influence in some of the classic pulp stories of old. In terms of 2001, and whether the film tells enough of its story, I do agree that it could have benefitted from a longer runtime. It is clear from how the story was intended to happen (aka the book), that all those elements you mention could have proven to be important to the story. However, films cannot be seen with the benefit of intentions in mind. As a film. 2001 doesn't need all of those varying elements to detract from the meaning of the work. A novel and a film are distinctly different mediums, and I think Kubrick and Clarke realized this. The film version, apart from the novel, is more married to its ideas rather than rote information, and has the benefit of being able to tie those ideas to the filmmaking aspects in a way that the book never could.
Well I mean, to be fair Star Trek predicted we would be using some of this tech as well in the future but these days it's pretty niche compared to what we're doing with Robots these days. I mean we can now make artificial bees: a tablet compared to that is not that impressive.
The ending according to google: Dave manages to survive, stumbles onto Jupiter, and encounters a species of highly advanced beings who try to give him the comforts of the good life. Dave, blown away by their existence, sees himself age in mere moments, goes on a color trail, dies, and is reborn as a star child. That child jettisons toward earth.
Even with all the space travel and alien fuckery, the absolute most unrealistic part of this movie is the idea that "a HAL 9000 computer has never failed/been wrong before". You can really tell this movie was made in the 60's, way before computers really became ubiquitous and everyone realized that nope, no matter how advanced a computer gets, it's STILL going to goof up ALL the freaking time and occasionally shit itself completely, whether you ask it to operate a nuclear reactor or open grandma's emails. That's why all computerized systems today have tons of failsafes and are nearly always supervised by humans to some capacity.
i'd like to thank everybody that gave me the opportunity to be in this movie, I really had a lot of fun. travellling from earth to the moon was tiring but oh well, the last scene with frank was so emotional
11:49 I honestly had the EXACT same response when I watched this movie for the first time. I honestly don't know if this movie was even real ir not half the time.
The reason for the intermission is this is over 2 hours in length, most people would have to take a piss or a shit, or buy more concession foods, they did this with Star Trek the Motion Picture and Black Hole as well.
the black box is a message from aliens and is a key to evolution , thats why the apes learned, and that's why the mc became a space baby , because he evolved. but i'm just a drunk nerd
After deciding they need to disconnect HAL they don't immediately disconnect HAL and instead decide to faq around for a couple of hours. I guess nothing important was going on like a rogue AI that they needed to disconnect.
i saw this movie as a kid because my dad loved it. holy shit this made me laugh harder than i've laughed in a long ass time! I give this review 7 tin cans out of 2 water balloons.

what cinema sins supposed to be but fails at every step of the way, they take themselves too seriously and actually believe themselves to be actual critic , what a joke
Cinema sins pad their videos with false sins, I've noticed that personally and they are never funny, I mean they sinned things that were actually explained in the movies saying 'why is this here'. It's like they don't even watch the movie and just hack out same old repetitive sins all over the place.
After the cinema sins review of the Princess and the frog where they spent 1/3 of the video putting sins in a paper that appears in only one frame I unsubscribed and never came back. High boi is in a whole another level.
this is easy one of your best videos. the humour is on point and the weird moments like the singing or the discussion between hal and frank are just fucking amazing
I legit slept 4 times trying to watch this movie, not because it's boring it's just very verryyyy sloooow. good movie tho, visual effects ahead of it's time
@@paris5663 Yea, but if an older movie has a title that is a year(I.E 2012, 2001 etc) People are more likely to believe that the title was also the year it premiered.
This movie was RELEASED in 1968, meaning they were probably shooting and editing the movie in 1967 either before, or right around the time moon's gravity was understood. So although it SEEMS like they released this a year after and said whatever and went with normal gravity, they probably did in fact, have no idea
They didn't need to go to the moon to know that you would weigh less. it was already known since Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation in the 17th century. They didn't just found out when they got there.
@@arianitonline8748 exactly, we knew we would weigh less, but didn't know what that would look like. How would a person walk if they only weighed 1/3rd as normal? Probably the same as a child that is a third their weight
Hate to bump in here so late, but they had a very solid idea of what moonwalking would look like years in advance. The idea for using water to faux moonwalk and train astronauts in low or zero g's came long before the first manned mission outside the atmosphere. By changing the salt content in the water and effecting the density you could simulate different levels of gravity based on a person's buoyancy. And based on newton's laws of gravitational attraction, and einsteins laws of special and general relativity, you could pretty easily calculate how to convincingly represent a person in space, especially to an audience who may have no idea how that would look.
Althought I haven't watched the movie, I've just finished the book, which is pretty good! In it, I didn't see any characters doing stupid stuff and all of the plot and details made more sense and seemed cooler than what I saw of the movie in this video. The ending also is very crazy but actually makes sense, and seems to differ a bit from the adaptation. So, read the book! It's very cool! I feel like it could be adapted better in a 30min animation, as most of the pages are filled with the precise description of the scenery, which would be awesome to actually see with 2024 technology. Love your vids High Boi!
My bf and I just recently watched 2001:A Space Odyssey for the first time and wanted to watch a review of it. This video popped up in our search… we watched it out of curiosity, soon laughed our butts off, and promptly got hooked on all your videos shortly thereafter. We are now both subscribed!
As someone who has never managed to get around to actually watching this, but has heard a bit about the plot, this was the funniest damn thing. I actually laughed aloud at that ending sequence
I actually slept through 90 percent of the movie when my class was shown this because if you know basically anything about movies you know what HAL does and that's 90 percent of the movie. Build up to the conflict between HAL and the crew and then kubrick basically goes "OK THATS ENOUGH END IT RIGHT NOW NO TIME TO PROCESS". I was awake for the final scene and was like who the fuck was tripping on balls when they made this?
If you need to go to sleep, put this movie on, and just fast-forward through the first three minutes or so. This is basically a 5 minute art film extended into an hours-long exercise in trying to see if the director can bore the audience to death.

Kubrick even says, at one point, "If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered".
That's great, but there is a marked difference between creating a sense of wonder - the book did this quite well in describing-but-not-describing the enigmatic "firstborn" aliens - and just telling half the story.
Let's take a look at the scene with Frank and Dave discussing HAL in the pod (the "lip-reading" scene), for example. Your point about HAL being a dumbass and not just yeeting them into space right then and there is pretty on-point; if HAL is just a murderous Futurama-Bender-esque "kill all fleshbags" robot, then why _not_ just toss them overboard? Why waste further energy and resources on life support systems? HAL could just kill everyone, shut off the environmental systems, and continue with... whatever it is murderous computers do. The book goes into far more detail here, and we learn that HAL is not a simple psychopath; he's paranoid and schizophrenic. IIRC, he was basically given three opposing highest-priority orders - keep the aliens discoveries which were the mission's true purpose a secret, operate with utmost efficiency, and keep the crew safe - that, quite simply, could not all be obtained together. He quite literally was going insane, and while the talk of disconnecting him - death, for HAL, who had never "slept" - certainly _accelerated_ this, it was not the final straw. In fact, in the book, it isn't until an attempt is made to connect with a remote signal from Earth (and thus "reprogram" HAL) that HAL finally sends Frank on his fateful mission.
I won't go into details about the final stargate sequence, other than to say that the book again leaves us with plenty of Big, Interesting, Broad questions while the movie leaves us less with a sense of wonder, and more with a sense of "...yeh, that made no sense".
I'm not trying to get into an argument, but Kubrick kinda made it clear that the movie was more of an experimental visual art experience rather than a straight, cut and dry sci-fi piece. It's supposed to be more poetic and drawn out, he wanted to push the limits of the medium. As a work of art, I'd say he succeeded in creating one. It's a visual treat which tried to take real elements of space travel and tell an allegory about human development and self-destructive tendencies. Again, sure, it's not the most logical thing in the world. But it's clear that the lasting impact it's had on cinema and depictions of realistic space travel is firmly cemented in history. For all it's flaws, maybe it's just best to watch and enjoy it as the work of passion that it was originally intended for. But you're of course welcome to disagree
If you're trying to say that the book has a clearer version of the story than the movie, you're probably right. Still, I'd contend that you don't understand the movie, not in terms of story, but in terms of filmmaking prowess. 2001 is one of the most enduring experimental films of all time, meaning it has transcended its own story through its themes and ideas. Plus, I have seen several people react to this movie on youtube who have gotten dangerously close to figuring out what that ending means with no prior foreknowledge. I would say it is to each his own in terms of how much that ending "makes sense."
@@cinemagoose "you just don't understand it" is _really_ not a good argument here. My argument was basically regarding the storytelling of the movie, so no, the cinematography is not what I was arguing about. I'm fully aware the filmmaking was groundbreaking. But filmmaking - or, more specifically, cinematography - and storytelling are not the same thing. For all it's genre defining brilliance, the story of the first Star Wars (ep4) is not in and of itself a cinematic masterpiece (in fact, I'd call it rather mundane and derivative). It's only the combination of everything involved in that movie that makes it a monumental achievement.
I'd also say that an argumentum ad populum - that lots of people "figured it out", whatever that really means - is ... not a great argument. My point wasn't that the ending was indecipherable. It was that things like the entire subplot of the Firstborn - the creators of the monolith, the watchers of humanity, whom in their godlike aspect are waiting for us to crawl out of the pre-space-age cradle - is essentially absent from the film. In his own words, Clarke wanted to create a movie (or, write a book to _become_ a movie) "about man's place in the universe". I simply don't believe that the film version of 2001 does that. If you can say that people figured out the entire "godlike aliens nurturing humanity" thing from the ending of the movie, I'd either A) call bullshit, or B) say that they made a very good guess, but nevertheless a _guess_ .
@@newms3450 Your argument doesn't really make much sense. Filmmaking is not a distinctly different field from storytelling. Rather, it is all aspects of filmmaking, from cinematography to editing to mise-en-scene to writing, that make up the overall film. To use your Star Wars example, the film was crafted as a pastiche of a variety of sources. This can be seen not just in the story, involving its influential archetypical narrative, but also many of the visual designs and effects finding much influence in some of the classic pulp stories of old.
In terms of 2001, and whether the film tells enough of its story, I do agree that it could have benefitted from a longer runtime. It is clear from how the story was intended to happen (aka the book), that all those elements you mention could have proven to be important to the story. However, films cannot be seen with the benefit of intentions in mind. As a film. 2001 doesn't need all of those varying elements to detract from the meaning of the work. A novel and a film are distinctly different mediums, and I think Kubrick and Clarke realized this. The film version, apart from the novel, is more married to its ideas rather than rote information, and has the benefit of being able to tie those ideas to the filmmaking aspects in a way that the book never could.

IIRC correct, this very scene was used by samsung in a lawsuit againt apple to show that the concept of a tablet wasnt invented by apple.
Well I mean, to be fair Star Trek predicted we would be using some of this tech as well in the future but these days it's pretty niche compared to what we're doing with Robots these days.

Dave manages to survive, stumbles onto Jupiter, and encounters a species of highly advanced beings who try to give him the comforts of the good life.

Even with all the space travel and alien fuckery, the absolute most unrealistic part of this movie is the idea that "a HAL 9000 computer has never failed/been wrong before". You can really tell this movie was made in the 60's, way before computers really became ubiquitous and everyone realized that nope, no matter how advanced a computer gets, it's STILL going to goof up ALL the freaking time and occasionally shit itself completely, whether you ask it to operate a nuclear reactor or open grandma's emails. That's why all computerized systems today have tons of failsafes and are nearly always supervised by humans to some capacity.

The reason for the intermission is this is over 2 hours in length, most people would have to take a piss or a shit, or buy more concession foods, they did this with Star Trek the Motion Picture and Black Hole as well.
Yes, but for those movies they cut the intermission out of the non-theatrical releases.
Techniqually when this movie was released that intermission was when the cinemas would have to change the film projector films over due to the length.

After deciding they need to disconnect HAL they don't immediately disconnect HAL and instead decide to faq around for a couple of hours. I guess nothing important was going on like a rogue AI that they needed to disconnect.

5:46 Hello.
This movie was RELEASED in 1968, meaning they were probably shooting and editing the movie in 1967 either before, or right around the time moon's gravity was understood. So although it SEEMS like they released this a year after and said whatever and went with normal gravity, they probably did in fact, have no idea
They didn't need to go to the moon to know that you would weigh less. it was already known since Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation in the 17th century. They didn't just found out when they got there.
@@nunofoo8620 but they wouldn't know how to behave. there is a difference between theory and real life
@@arianitonline8748 exactly, we knew we would weigh less, but didn't know what that would look like. How would a person walk if they only weighed 1/3rd as normal? Probably the same as a child that is a third their weight
Hate to bump in here so late, but they had a very solid idea of what moonwalking would look like years in advance. The idea for using water to faux moonwalk and train astronauts in low or zero g's came long before the first manned mission outside the atmosphere. By changing the salt content in the water and effecting the density you could simulate different levels of gravity based on a person's buoyancy. And based on newton's laws of gravitational attraction, and einsteins laws of special and general relativity, you could pretty easily calculate how to convincingly represent a person in space, especially to an audience who may have no idea how that would look.
Half the comments on this page are wrong. The other half are correct. I wonder if you can guess which ones are which..
Althought I haven't watched the movie, I've just finished the book, which is pretty good!
In it, I didn't see any characters doing stupid stuff and all of the plot and details made more sense and seemed cooler than what I saw of the movie in this video.
The ending also is very crazy but actually makes sense, and seems to differ a bit from the adaptation.
So, read the book! It's very cool!
I feel like it could be adapted better in a 30min animation, as most of the pages are filled with the precise description of the scenery, which would be awesome to actually see with 2024 technology.
