      It wasn't "neo-60s". It was filmed in 1966. They took mod fashion and made it futuristic.
      Thus the mini skirts.

      @@sammencia7945 that’s not what I mean exactly, I know it came out in ‘68. I meant the trope of a future where social norms never progressed passed the 60s. Like in the movie, 2001 was neo-60s if that makes sense. I probably used the term wrong but I didn’t know else how to describe it

    The Actors, the Performance, the casual pacing, the setting all so grand and perfect. Got to love how Mr. Miller just strolls in at about the right time. It's there in the fine details. 🍷Loved how the protagonist carries himself. He gives of a seasoned executive or official vibe that's almost too real. Classic remarkable acting in the way he treats space travel like a ever day thing.

After Apollo 11 was finished many people had the feeling we had now done what we set out to do and the rest of the Apollo program was fairly perfunctory. We lost interest. Politicians, whether or not they were personally behind the space program, were not about to spend enormous amounts of taxpayer money on a program there was little public support for.

    I think Floyd does carry the confidence that the US still had at this point in the 60s. Kubrick and A. C. Clark expected the two superpowers to continue to grow more confident and stronger. Obviously, they expected massive leaps in spacefaring technology that did not occur.

    For the most part Kubrick's film has aged remarkably well for a movie made in the 1960s about the 21st century. It mostly doesn't look stupid even today. But I do get a strong 'sixties vibe of the woman in these shots, both as regards her hairdo and something more subtle having to do with her way of talking.

      I think part if it is that at this time air travel was still something that mainly rich people did. The space station isn’t going to have common people on it, only people of a higher social and educational class. The stewardesses are there to serve them.

    Possible flaw the perfectionist Kubrick didn't address: Women's clothing and hair-styles in the scene with the Russians and elsewhere is basically 60s fashions, while men's business dress did change, they dropped neckties.

      @evm6177 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      What If fashions can return or reboot from time to time. Take the new James Bond, the suit Craig mostly sports even in the posters does looks more or less 60's like.

      The lack of carpets anywhere was a remarkable foresight. Because at the time all most everywhere in the 60's and 70's floors where wholly carpeted sometimes even partially for aesthetics. Today its mostly outdated, heavy duty to maintain and unseen as shown rightly in the movie.

    • @Uniblab9000
      @Uniblab9000 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Costuming for the future is self-defeating. Once done, whatever was predicted becomes permanently tied to the era in which the prediction was made and by the time that future has arrived the predicted fashion is considered outdated no matter how forward-thinking it was to begin with.
