2001 is arguably one of the 5 greatest movies ever made. I´m still waiting for something in Sci-Fi that impresses me as much as the "dancing" space-station (along the Blue Danube Waltz). Expecting answers is futile. That´s like believing that an ant in an anthill understands what happens when a group of humans walks by, playing with their mobile phones 🙂
Well, the key word here was experience. Seeing it on a big screen (70mm) is the way to see it, because it is a visual spectacle that should be experienced in that way.
Being of the older generation I was lucky enough to see this on its first release on the giant Cinerama screen, superior to seeing it in IMAX because the ratio means that the IMAX image has blank bands at the top and bottom of the screen.
You got what Kubrick was doing and the word "Experience" was not over used by you, but absolutely on point. Great review and I would like to see a more in depth one after you have researched the "hows" of the film. Kubrick wrote the script in conjunction with British author Arthur C Clarke writing the story. It was made as a futurist film and predicted a lot of the technology we have now. There are many layers to the film, the monoliths, star gate, the Star Child at the end etc...Got yourself a new subscriber.
Great movie, great reaction!! The cool thing about 2001 is that you can have multiple viewings and have a different experience every time. Kubrick loves to keep his films very open-ended and invites the viewer to various interpretations. I vote for A Clockwork Orange next!!!!
I did see it in a theatre here, at the 50th anniversary, in my country. I had it on Blu-Ray already. That was indeed an experience. I knew the movie but didn't see more then a year at that point. I also bought the 4k UHD then (came also at the 50th anniversary). I may like that version at my OLED at home, but yeah... it is something for the big screen indeed. See it once more (tip: that 4k UHD), see the making of. And see it again. You'll love it. (Maybe even read both The Sentinel and read the book, but only after the above)
Thank you! I appreciate you were able to make sense of my mumblings. Still reeling from it and enjoying digging through all the lore and interpretations surrounding the film!
You watched this film in the way it should be watched in order to get the full impact. It’s been my favourite film since it first hit theatres (and I was ten years old).
Christopher Nolan's dad took him to a screening of 2001 (in 70mm on a huge screen) when he was 7 years old and it made a huge impression on him. There's a great video of Nolan talking about the movie and how much it meant to him: th-cam.com/video/U43HcQi2w84/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZNAuW5h4QzOyFGBG
Hello, check out a movie called, 1492: Conquest of Paradise. Adventure/Drama (1992). It stars Gérard Depardieu, Siqourney Weaver, Armand Assante. It portrays a version of the travels to the New World by the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus and the effect this had on indigenous peoples. Directed by Ridley Scott. Thank you..

@@amitychief3061 truly! A voyage I would soon like to embark on again 🚀
@@moviemija If you ever get the chance to see “Lawrence Of Arabia” on a big screen, by all means do so. You won’t regret it.

@@tonybennett4159 Oooh that sounds like an unforgettable viewing. Wish to see something like this in the future!
The experience I had watching this video! Wow! I had to subscribe to experience more!

So pleased you got round to this one! One of Kubrick's many masterpieces for sure! I really like this format for movie reactions/reviews too.
@@lewisbrown3660 thanks for letting me know! I’ll be sure to take you all on more revival screenings!

Great breakdown, appreciate your insight. Kubrick was of a different breed

It's All Clarke..

@@robertpearson8798 ahhh wow love that you saw it at such a young age! It’s definitely a movie that I haven’t stopped thinking about.
@@moviemija I’ve been thinking about it off and on for more than fifty years, there’s no other film quite like it.

Hey.. Can I Make Thumbnails for You? Believe me you'll Love it 👍🏿
Beautiful review by beautiful woman. I'm impressed by your enthusiasm, respect for cinema, curiosity and longing for more.
@@fredklein3829 I like to lead with curiosity so thank you for pointing that out!
A good fall asleep movie. The space visuals and cinematography impress, the rest not so much. It could use an audience cut 😂 1.50h
Great descriptor! I can totally see myself falling asleep to this movie - in a good way. So atmospheric and immersive.
Ugh! I don’t think that one minute of this film should be cut. It’s a masterpiece just the way it is.
@@MsAppassionata also agree! I love the edit as is. Let me drift off into space with HAL and the gang.
