Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down 2001 a Space Odyssey.

-

Released in 1968 this Stanley Kubrick classic is arguably one of the most influential films of all time. Perfecting it's special effects to tell a space age adventure across the stars it's incredible how much that this movie change how sci-fi was put the screen. Whether it's Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune, Alien, The Abyss, Interstellar or...or whatever sci-fi film you can think of, all of them in some ways have taken elements of this in order to craft their world.

The space travel alone ushered in how we imagine vessels to move across the endless void and had this never been made then we'd likely see things portrayed slightly differently.

Everytime I think about the planets in space im normally playing the richard strauss song in my head and it created the idea of it being like an opera.

I had the opportunity to see 2001 in IMAX back in 2018 for the 50th anniversary. I was one of just TWO people in the theater and the scenes in space freaked me out as I felt as if I was actually in space myself because the theater was so immense and dark. It was definitely an experience and the final half of the film felt super creepy with the eerie music.

[QUIRK]

I watched this alone on a rented VHS when I was about 13 and it was by turns terrifying, intriguing, boring, confusing, fascinating, awe-inspiring, heartbreaking, and haunting. What a cinematic experience this is

[Traumtheater]

The BEST cinema experience I've ever had was when I watched 2001 in 2001. When the movie ended not a SINGLE person said a word or got up during the credits. Everybody sat there pondering while the credits were rolling until the screen went finally blank. Epic.

A couple years ago Keir Dulla attended a "classic movie" screening of 2001 at my hometown theater as a guest speaker. It was freakish, he literally looked like he walked out of the hotel room, aged, white hair and all, and sat down to answer questions. Awesome night.

[cheribee]

It’s decades later and still fans of this movie are here contemplating details.
I can never get enough of how intriguing this story is.
It must have struck people as so strange back in 1968.
The cast was great and I always felt Keir who played Dave, was such a perfect fit.
His facial expressions and tone of voice was mesmerizing.

I was 14 in 1969. No one - and I mean no one - knew what this movie meant.
Many discussions around the dinner table and many discussions passing around the weed. People were perplexed.
Now I feel we have grown into this startling film. Brilliant work.

I was 17 y. o. when 2001 came out; it was a visual masterpiece. The movie story was a great topic of conversation in college classes. Not surprised it is still holding up!

[daisyblossomflowerchild]

As I am old (lol), I actually saw this in the theater in 1968 with my parents. It was, in fact, a very tippy movie, no exra curricular substances required. I loved the space walking scenes. HAL absolutely creeped me out. His voice, along with that red eye, instilled a fear of sentient computers. Now, when my phone answers a query, I have that sneaky suspension it might be secretly plotting my demise (lol). ;)

Excellent review of a classic movie. Cheers. :)

[hadwyn]

My all-time favorite movie. I loved the jump cut from the bone to the space craft, and was surprised to note something similar in the 1944 Powell-Pressburger film A Canterbury Tale, a cut between a falcon and a Spitfire. I thought that might be where Kubrick found his inspiration for his awesome cut.

[leokimvideo]

It's interesting how just about every look into this film misses the recurring theme of the Monolith shape in many scenes. It even seen in the shape of Hal. It's the shape of the lighting in some scenes and lots of other elements. It's almost like Kubrick wants you to be super saturated by this shape.

[dancedjk]

While some of the theories can be argued about, this has been the BEST breakdown of this movie I have ever seen. Just a wonderful job on this fan favorite and historical film

[thedevilinthecircuit]

I saw this film during the original release in the Cinerama Theater in Honolulu. The multiple projectors on wrap-around screens and multi-track sound through synchronized speakers created a sense of motion so real the audience was actually there *in* the story. It was fascinating and horrifying all at the same time.

[chuckw]

Actually, the book 2001 came out AFTER the movie. The screenplay was developed from the original story the Sentinel, and the story was expanded with additional material (basically the whole Discovery storyline). Clarke then expanded the final screenplay and changed a few things to make it more to his liking.

[RFToob]

The film quality is just so stunningly clear yet the meaning so blurry. Love it. Cheers!

[mskellyrlv]

Excellent backstory! I was 14 when this came out, and a dedicated space freak (it became my career). A couple of adds to your details: it was shot in Cinerama, a super widescreen format that had three Super Panavision screens side by side, and curved to give a wrap around effect. It outdid IMAX, IMHO. and it's too bad the format disappeared. I sat in the balcony of the St. Louis IMAX the first time I saw it, and the the vista of the Moon, Earth and Sun was so huge that I got vertigo! The Discovery appeared in a full-length shot that filled the entire screen, and gave one a real sense of how vast it was. Also, Clarke laid out the trajectory of Discovery, and Kubrick went to the trouble of making sure that the stars in the background of any exterior shot of Discovery were what one would actually see at that point in space, from that point of view. This film had a profound effect on me, and I saw it several times in first run.You've gone way, way beyond any background I've ever come across on this movie, and I commend you.

I like your catch about HAL learning to read lips while playing chess. Here's another--when Dave shows him the drawings, HAL asks him to bring them closer. That's significant because HAL is actually looking closely at the pictures, thinking about them. He's not just feigning interest to humor Dave. It suggests some interiority. He freaks out, because he makes himself vulnerable to his closest confidant, Dave, about his deepest secret, and Dave doesn't get it. He basically sees HAL as a machine, not a friend.

I LOVE 2010. I know, it’s typical Hollywood, not like 2001, but 2010 it’s one of those movies I’ll watch every time I come across it. I never knew Clarke was sitting on the bench feeding the birds.

Also, I, for one, welcome our new red-eyed Ai overlords. 😊

[Unpainted_Huffhines]

The monolith is actually terrifying. Forget primitive hominids, _I_ would be freaked out if I woke up one morning and there was one standing in my front yard.
