A sign of the times, the satellites in the movie were supposed to be a 60s version of 21st century orbiting bombs, however, they never looked that way, more like probes of various sorts (even today) that were decidedly non-threatening in appearance. They could still pass for legitamate spacecraft even today. While I would have preferred the orginal soundtrack, it's still nice.
Beautiful. That's the only word I can say and not an ounce of CGI. That's so perfectly constructed. I would recommend Silent Running as well (full film is on YT) because that comes close, but could never equal the mastery of visual and soundtrack as 2001. Worth a look though.
@Grunnow The film is about a doomed mission. The beginning may be quite optimistical, but Kubrick predicted the idea that the computer would turn against the man. In that way, one could make a parallel with the consequences of current "electronization" of everything.
@JanPB Well, this is NOT a 1:1 Copy of the Movie. And it was never my intention to just show off bits of the Movie. This is a Space Sequences Tribute edited by MetalApe. Please read the Description. I'm Sorry if you don't like it.
@MetalApe It's not that I don't like it, it's more that I really appreciate the sophistication that went into editing the original. Notice how spaceships etc. cross the film frame at precise musical phrases. Moving the sound off by ~2 frames would become noticeably sloppy at such points. Film editors distinguish e.g. between making a cut a _consonant_ vs. on a _vowel_ of the spoken dialogue. That's how delicate it gets.
@JanPB Point Taken. But again, i never wanted to Re-Edit the Movie, it's a Tribute to the Handmade Special Effects of yesterdays. To preserve the Spirit, i tried to do a most careful Montage, fiddling with the Images as less as possible. Overlooked it many times. Because of the different "Blue Danube" Music: I certainly used a Version conducted by Herbert von Karajan, as in the Movie. And almost like a miracle, this Version fits exactly into this first 10 Minutes Montage of Space Sequences.
@MetalApe could you be so kind and share some links (books/films/courses/names) about making cuts _consonant_ or _vowel_ ? I would love to know more about it!
@MetalApe well you really suceeded in fucking Stanley kubrick and his editors right in the ass. congratulations on missing every great music edit that kubrick slaved over putting. thanks for taking kubrick genius out of all of this sequences. Please take these down and repost the corrected version.
Has anyone else discovered that the Great Perfectionist Stanley Kubrick made a BIG mistake 3:30 to 3:40? When we get the pilots point of view, the shadows on the spacestation don't move. But the stars in the background revolve, so the station still rotates. To get this effect, the Sun must orbit the station in a synchronous orbit... Also: The image on the pilots docking display is totally out of pace with the stations docking bay.
Stanley Kubrick, the MASTER OF FILM, with legendary music and truly stunning shots. come on guys, this was 1968, and the visual effects are brilliant, this is a masterpiece!
Can we have the year 2001 to do over again? This 2001 is so much more beautiful and inspiring. A wonderful space ballet with virginal-white ships cruising amongst the stars. OUR 2001 was nothing but skyscrapers falling down, the start of what looks to be an endless war in the desert, and plans to go back to the Moon. The Moon is great, but we've been there. No forward progress since the Apollo landings? How about Mars? Or aim high like Clarke and Kubrick and visit one of Jupiter's 63 moons.
Greatest movie and probably most important message to human kind. But the orbital speed of the lunar shuttle was too slow... The speed to maintain the orbit on the Moon must be 1,023 km/s
It´s a great shame that the ISS does not look like this ! And that Ares 1 and Ares V have been cancelled..It should have been called 2031:A space Odyssey..Because the film 2001 is still ahead of us in what we actually done !
This is the greatest film *ever* made. Watch this film then take a step back and look at your life and realize you are nothing. Take some pride in your fucking species. Humanity is the apex predator on this planet now and always, and God willing the universe.
A shame what youtube compression does here, unfortunately. I just watched it again recently on BluRay and these space scenes were just so incredibly beautiful. The shot around 2:35-3:15 is incredible in HD... but blurred mush online :(
On a side note, it is nice to say "the shot from 2:35 to 3:15" - a 40 frame shot would be long by today's standards, let alone a 40 second one!
Theres some theory that SK faked the moon landing footage back in 68, how mental is that? I can't even enjoy a movie without people coming to me with conspiracy bullshit lol. Amazing film anyway, opened my eyes.
Another reason this work is brilliant is the pairing of 21st century technology with 19th century Strauss waltz. It speaks of the timelessness of both forms.
@SoundsLikePurple it is! if you ever see it being screened, go! i have a projector in the house and every time the space docking scene comes on my eyes well up a little, its just stunning.
I love the space sequences, it orcheastrates the "dance" of ship and station flawlessly and envokes feelings and thoughts transcending understanding. And the visuals, absolutely stuning, much better than the computer-rendered special effects of today's cinema. This movie is just such a wonderful, beautiful movie; Kubric is the best director the cinematic world has ever known.
truly amazing, look at the vdu displays inside the shuttle, this is 1969. just to think this was made about the same time as star trek, and they just had flashing lights that flashed out of time??.
This film has some THE most mind boggling "Tracking Shots" I've ever saw in a movie, without strings and NO CGI, this film has Ideas in it, that are way ahead of its time, and Looks years ahead of its time, "Star Wars, Alien" which even nods to this film, those film franchises and others were all heavily Inspired by this film. A very underrated Science Ficiton, documentary styled film.
Swastika? Kubrick really paid homage to Von Braun in Dr. Strangelove - satire. But this? I'm not sure how you abstracted that from a space station that looked likes a spinnng wheel of cheese.
Kubrick really paid homage to Von Braun in Dr. Strangelove - yarbles
Didnt stop there...80% of the space sh&% in this flick came from that Nazi Werner. Spinning Swastika, silver spear (rocket ship), Blue Danube ? C´mon man.
What's your problem with someone who helped develop most of the rockets that we use today, and just happened to be a Nazi? The way I see it, as long as he wasn't shooting rockets AT us, then there isn't any problem.
Wernher Von Braun didn't want to be a Nazi. Everyone who was a scientist at the time was a Nazi. He immediately surrendered to the Americans when he had the chance, specifically because he wanted to bring his technology to the U.S.
lol...that's from 1968...and in the 60's,the peoples thought,that the space will looking so modernly and differently at 2001..,but it's even not,it stayed equally...and it will stay equally...
My parents got me a model kit of the moon bus (last vehicle) to put together. It was easy because after building, there was very litttle painting needed.
Inspiring awe and wonder to a generation, it profoundly changed my world view then and still re-affirms it to this day.
There is so much potential in us all, yet the majority who walk among us are asleep and a minority of those sleepwalkers who lead us, lead us in the wrong direction.
At 0.25$ per showing, I must have gone to see it more than a dozen times back then m - I still enjoy watching it today.
Awe inspiring to an 8 yr old who was simultaneously aware of the Apollo program and the promise space exploration held back then. Those were the days.
It's the only sci-fi movie to show what space-travel is truly like breathtakingly majestic in its depth, weight-less and silent. ...
verflixt höre ich " an der schönen blauen donau " gehen meine gedanken immer zu kubrick, strauss und karajan o.a. sind völlig verwaschen. schon kurios.
Definitely my favorite parts of the movie. Nicely stitched together. Thanks you. Thank you very much. This brings back memories from my elementary school years when I first watched this movie over 30 years ago! (I watched these sequences over and over on my Sony Betamax). It was absolutely brilliant of Stanley Kubrick to incorporate Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz for these Space Sequences.
a lot of people would think (in my work for example) that I'm crazy with the previous comments i have made, BUT the reality is that we don't know nothing about this, the reality and may be wouold be interesting everybody would be more concern about and speak about this with humility, MORE PHILOSOPHY AND LESS (FUCKING)ECONOMY
everything so strange... seems a joke, and i don't mean a "celestial" joke
I only mean it's so fucking weird, as the movie final that you can't fully understand (is up to your reading, which i love of this film, the best in my oppnion)
what tje fuck is the universe? it's so strange, isn't it?
it's so weird, why is here in this way and were it comes from... in the past the people were fascinated about this... now if you speak about this you are a boring man...BUT IS LIKE POETRY.. a MISS ISSUE
best movie ever.... the final would be better (or not bacause universe is indiferent to human being) if the final of Tarkovski's solaris (1972) would appear (something more "human": imean, with that two movies, the best of all times...
Awesome footage to watch. But did this sci-fi classic ever provide a satisfactory answer to the query that even stumped Einstein: "ARE THERE RINGS AROUND URANUS"?
CGI as of the year 2000, if its done well, as in the movie FINAL FANTASY, looks pretty much the same as this. I watched 2001 on a gigantic CINERAMA screen in stereophonic sound, in Manhattan in 1968. It was beyond breathtaking. And 8-months later, mankind orbited the moon, and we got our first views of the complete Earth from space. It was epoch-making, and glorius!
i am a sri lankan and have met arther c clarke.what kubrick did was just genios.i was 12 when my dad took me to watch this.i was mesmerized.thx for a great post.kubrick rules.
after years of hearing about this film i went down to the local cinema where they were playing it ....i have never been so entertained in the movie world before .....amazing film and a fantastic soundtrack......came out of the cinema knowing i had seen one of the best films to date ....what a masterpiece!!!!!!!!
People always seem to demonize CGI as this evil technology. Don't get me wrong, I thing that the special effects here are awesome. I'm just saying, CGI has revolutionized special effects, and is great as long as it isn't the focus of the film.
I think were it possible to have more of a dissolve from the thigh (?) bone to the space station it would have been a much cooler sequence. Demonized as it is, CGI would have made that possible.
What a stroke of audio / visual genius marrying these two masterpieces together. Remember seeing the film all those years ago in London - on the old three screen set up (Cinemascope I think...?). A classic film...Thanks for posting MetalApe...
I don't believe we (humanity) will ever give up this pursuit. Though there are troubling mitigating factors why we are not, it is a matter of time. The Universe is as dangerous as it is beautiful. When our sciences and societies mature, will we find our place out there.
I was surprised to learn that Kubrick originally wanted to use the music of Pink Floyd. MGM didn't go for the idea. Someone on YouTube has synched up "2001" with Pink Floyd's "Echoes". It works surprisingly well.
I'm always amazed at how well the special effects hold up 41 years later. They're not perfect by today's standards but still look very very good. It's only some of the civilian costumes that really date the film.
The orbiting "long things" shown after the jump cut from the dawn of man to 2001 are nuclear-weapons platforms, capable of devastating the entire surface of the planet.
lots of symbolism in this film the ape throws the bone into the sky it is a weapon he had just used to kill to survive. It transitions to an orbiting nuke showing how mans use of weapons has advanced. (Check the book for reference)
Danube isn't Hungarian river. It is European river beginning in Germany and than flowing trough Austria and Slovakia before reaching Hungary, than continuing trough 6 more countries on its way to the Black Sea.
One has to consider the social context of this movie. 2001 was the first time that realistic visual effects of what it would like to be in space were made. The movie asked the questions that people were thinking at the time: What is it like to go into space? What will we find? How will it change us? The movie is basically symbolic: space exploration and our advancing technology are having an effect on humanity in much the same way as our distant ancestors discovery of the use of tools.
The most legendary masterpiece of music one of cinema's most unique films of all time. The year prior to man landing on the moon this film released in the parallax of the Vietnam War and the Tet Offensive. What a shame America had to be in such turmoil. Otherwise this film would have really opened the minds of many much more than it had then. Great Film and Great music!!! I know Kubrick made his movie to leave people in some obfuscating state of mind but its message to me was simple - GENIUS!
Ho pauraHo paura, la mia mente se ne va .. Lo sentoLo sentoLa mia mente svanisceNon c'è alcun dubbioLo sento L'uomo prepara da solo la propria distruzione. Non impazzisce ma ritorna allo stadio infantile, come anche l'astronauta dovrà fare fino alla propria morte, per poi risorgere come il feto per una nuova umanità. Il cerchio quadra da solo: ecco il respiro profondo dell'astronave, il silenzio del nero cosmico dove la morte è muta, mentre l'occhio che scava dentro la storia.

:
Inspiring awe and wonder to a generation, it profoundly changed my world view then and still re-affirms it to this day.
There is so much potential in us all, yet the majority who walk among us are asleep and a minority of those sleepwalkers who lead us, lead us in the wrong direction.
We are a product of Nature.
Nature is a product of the Universe.
Therefore we are the Universe ...
... manifest conscious.
No God can replace that truth.

I was 8 years old when this movie was released.
At 0.25$ per showing, I must have gone to see it more than a dozen times back then m - I still enjoy watching it today.
Awe inspiring to an 8 yr old who was simultaneously aware of the Apollo program and the promise space exploration held back then. Those were the days.
It's the only sci-fi movie to show what space-travel is truly like breathtakingly majestic in its depth, weight-less and silent. ...

Definitely my favorite parts of the movie. Nicely stitched together. Thanks you. Thank you very much. This brings back memories from my elementary school years when I first watched this movie over 30 years ago! (I watched these sequences over and over on my Sony Betamax). It was absolutely brilliant of Stanley Kubrick to incorporate Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz for these Space Sequences.

everything so strange... seems a joke, and i don't mean a "celestial" joke
I only mean it's so fucking weird, as the movie final that you can't fully understand (is up to your reading, which i love of this film, the best in my oppnion)

what tje fuck is the universe? it's so strange, isn't it?
it's so weird, why is here in this way and were it comes from... in the past the people were fascinated about this... now if you speak about this you are a boring man...BUT IS LIKE POETRY.. a MISS ISSUE

best movie ever.... the final would be better (or not bacause universe is indiferent to human being) if the final of Tarkovski's solaris (1972) would appear (something more "human": imean, with that two movies, the best of all times...

Awesome footage to watch. But did this sci-fi classic ever provide a satisfactory answer to the query that even stumped Einstein: "ARE THERE RINGS AROUND URANUS"?

CGI as of the year 2000, if its done well, as in the movie FINAL FANTASY, looks pretty much the same as this. I watched 2001 on a gigantic CINERAMA screen in stereophonic sound, in Manhattan in 1968. It was beyond breathtaking. And 8-months later, mankind orbited the moon, and we got our first views of the complete Earth from space. It was epoch-making, and glorius!

People always seem to demonize CGI as this evil technology. Don't get me wrong, I thing that the special effects here are awesome. I'm just saying, CGI has revolutionized special effects, and is great as long as it isn't the focus of the film.

I think were it possible to have more of a dissolve from the thigh (?) bone to the space station it would have been a much cooler sequence. Demonized as it is, CGI would have made that possible.

On the maturation of mankind: The next 100 years might make all the difference.
The first thing to do is to stop filling
our minds with and obsessing over apocalyptic doomsday stories and self fulfilling "prophecies."
Instead, study *carefully* the psychology and reasoning of those who present that type of story to you.

I don't believe we (humanity) will ever give up this pursuit. Though there are troubling mitigating factors why we are not, it is a matter of time. The Universe is as dangerous as it is beautiful. When our sciences and societies mature, will we find our place out there.

I was surprised to learn that Kubrick originally wanted to use the music of Pink Floyd. MGM didn't go for the idea. Someone on YouTube has synched up "2001" with Pink Floyd's "Echoes". It works surprisingly well.

I'm always amazed at how well the special effects hold up 41 years later. They're not perfect by today's standards but still look very very good. It's only some of the civilian costumes that really date the film.

The orbiting "long things" shown after the jump cut from the dawn of man to 2001 are nuclear-weapons platforms, capable of devastating the entire surface of the planet.
btm85bubs 2 years ago 2
Yep the transition is supposed to show the evolution of man's weapons from a bone to a nuclear warhead
In the book the Star Child Bowman detonates the bomb in space at the very end (the last scene of 2001 is the starchild hovering in front of Earth)

One has to consider the social context of this movie. 2001 was the first time that realistic visual effects of what it would like to be in space were made. The movie asked the questions that people were thinking at the time: What is it like to go into space? What will we find? How will it change us? The movie is basically symbolic: space exploration and our advancing technology are having an effect on humanity in much the same way as our distant ancestors discovery of the use of tools.

The most legendary masterpiece of music one of cinema's most unique films of all time. The year prior to man landing on the moon this film released in the parallax of the Vietnam War and the Tet Offensive. What a shame America had to be in such turmoil. Otherwise this film would have really opened the minds of many much more than it had then. Great Film and Great music!!! I know Kubrick made his movie to leave people in some obfuscating state of mind but its message to me was simple - GENIUS!

Ho pauraHo paura, la mia mente se ne va .. Lo sentoLo sentoLa mia mente svanisceNon c'è alcun dubbioLo sento L'uomo prepara da solo la propria distruzione. Non impazzisce ma ritorna allo stadio infantile, come anche l'astronauta dovrà fare fino alla propria morte, per poi risorgere come il feto per una nuova umanità. Il cerchio quadra da solo: ecco il respiro profondo dell'astronave, il silenzio del nero cosmico dove la morte è muta, mentre l'occhio che scava dentro la storia.
