2001: A Space Odyssey

    0.01 sec.

2001: A Space Odyssey

Science fiction film made in the UK and the USA in 1968, directed by Stanley Kubrick. Based on a story by Arthur C Clarke, with the screenplay written by Kubrick and Clarke, it attempts to trace the evolution of civilization from prehistory – apes learning to kill – to future – astronauts on a mission to Jupiter with the flawed computer HAL.

Despite little dialogue and no real denouement, the film set the standard for science fiction movies with its innovative special effects, visual metaphors, and breadth of vision. The film won an Academy Award for best visual effects.

In this absorbing and suspenseful satire with echoes of 1984, Brave New World, 2001: A Space Odyssey and even The Longest Yard, the issues of government control and safety versus freedom are played out in a grimly humorous fashion.
Hautman, Pete. Rash by Rohrlick, Paula / Kliatt
Watching the infant open his eyes and move his facial muscles is as complete a transcription of the mechanics of absorption as one could imagine, and the work is the closest that Fandell gets to that of Stanley Kubrick, whose similar use of a child and Richard Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra (1896) in his cinematic masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) seems also set on joining visual enchantment to musical delight.

Not like the sinister HAL in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, with "his" smooth-voiced treachery.
