what is so good about 2001 a space odyssey the movie?
just watched it for the first time on the weekend and i'm surpriesed a sat through the whole thing it was so boring i understood the movie but why does this movie have such a good rep it was number 40 on AFI list of best movies why?
a couple of reasons... first and foremost.. it was an amazing piece of science fiction to be created PRIOR to a man being put on the moon. think about it.. this movie was created in 1967 and put out in 1968 and we had hardly even BEEN to space.. here they are depicting (mostly accurately) how things would work in the future.. 2nd .. stanley kubrick did it.. and the AFI people love him.. (watch full metal jacket and a clockwork orange if you wanna see his BEST work)
keep in mind in those space scenes where its all quiet and all you you hear is breathing? thats what space REALLY sounds like.. you can't here X-wings blast past you and hook hard left turns as IF they were in the air... its space.. you need thrusters .. there is no sound. boring.. perhaps.. accurate tho..
the guy who wrote it... arthur clarke he believed that in 2001 we would have been exactly where that movie showed us, and he suggested that the main reason we didn't get to that level of technology is because we wasted hundreds of billions of dollars on vietnam, grenada, cold war, gulf war I ...etc etc etc ..
read the book.. and then read 2010 and 2051 .. then go see 2010 .. it'll make much more sense... truth is. the space shots in 2010 weren't as good as they were in 2001 .
also keep in mind at the time.. there were no computers.. there were no computer graphics.. everything even the computer screens depicted in the movie.. were drawn by hand, and then made to appear on flat screens.. which didn't even exist..
