  • The first bone-weapon changed into an orbiting H-Bomb, one of many shown orbiting the Earth. Tension with the Soviet scientists abord the station with Dr. Floyd about news-blackout at clavius and top secrecy (still going on today) about the alien artifact found near Tycho crater at Clavius showed Cold War was still going on. Ending in Novel where the STARCHILD detonates all the orbiting H-bombs Kubrick felt was too much like end of Dr. Strangelove.

  • Once a species starts using tools. depending on its spiritual evolution, it is just s short step, and 4-million or so years, until that species conquers the vast gulf of space, and understands that we are one, of many. All life in the universe is RELATED. We are all one beam of life!

  • Pecccato che hanno tolto il pezzo inizial, comunque: questo chiamasi MONTAGGIO CONNOTATIVO. Kubrick decide di mettere la scena del monolite (trasposizione del pensiero della scimmia)in questo punto perché proprio la vicinanza con la scoperta della scimmia (la violenza che salverà l'uomo) con esso (e la musica il superuomo straussiano) cerca di far capire come uesto gesto porterà l'essere umano a partorire sé stesso e il divino...cioè..ragazzi...Magni­fico!!!

  • Faccio dams cinema e questa sequenza e questo montaggio sono straordinari, magnifici!!!!!

  • espetacular!!!

  • The first tools wee bones. As we evolved, they turned into more sophisticated weapons, like orbiting H-bombs depicted in the film. In the Novel, the Starchild detonates all the orbiting nukes.

  • actually in the movie the satellite is a telecommunications satellite from the late 1960s.

  • WHICH sattelite? I know them all, and my research-partner is a payload-specialst at Lockheed-Martin for past 14-years.

  • in the movie, stanley kubrick portrayed a model of a telecommunications satellite orbiting the earth right after the moon-gazer "pre-humanoid" threw the bone into the air. the book mentions hydrogen bombs but stanley kubrick changed it because he had already dealt with that madness in dr strangelove. as an electrical engineer i am fully aware that the satellites of today are much different than in the 1960s. however, the shielding problems still remain to this day as well as the fuel

  • yup, Not a monkey

  • A pre human species of ape. Not all species of ape evolved into homo-sapien man. Our distant cousins are Tarsiers.

  • this movie is amazing. its enlightening to say the least. The thought of how the "primitive man" saw the bone, registered it, evolved its mind to realize it is useful, then learns the tool, and how to mechanize its body to the use of it. all within a matter of minuets Thats just insane. We as humans can still do this instead of just living out sedentary lifestyles. THINK ABOUT IT

  • It's not a monkey...

  • epic!

  • Viendo este video me doy cuenta de lo mucho que ha evolucionado la especia humana al largo de la historia: que pasáramos de romper huesos a crear cosas extraordinarias es impresionante, aunque también estamos destrozando nuestro planeta donde nacimos todos. Y puede que no seamos los únicos seres con inteligencia del universo: estoy segura que existen más seres en otras galaxias y puede, que en la misma nuestra Via Láctea.

  • you know, it never occured to me...

    this movie would be SUCH a mindfuck if i watched it high of my ass....

  • kubric is most certanly one of the best.

    the whole move was made in scenes like this.

  • lol, anyone catch the reference to this scene in Spore? great parody :P

  • I thought it was hillarious too =)

  • this movie is great

    but this part is so fucking weird!

  • I think the whole movie is weird, especially the last part. THAT's what makes it so unique in the first place.

  • everything about this scene is so perfct. it is synchronized so well with the music and every little detail is flawless. personally i think this is the most enjoyable part to watch in the whole film. i get goosebumps every time i see it:) and also its a little hard to see in this clip but take note of the little ball of saliva that flies out of the apes mouth. so much thought and detail was put into this.

  • I am the only one who dosnt quite get the point of a money smashing bones to bits?

  • its trying to symbolise the birth of tools/weapons.

  • Yeh this is a beautifully simple way to illustrate the moment man, became more than an animal, and started using the tool.

  • Ahh I love apes....well all but those horrible apes from the planet of the apes.......wait a minute...statute of liberty.... o_O....that was our planet. You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you all! God damn you all to hell!

  • Hah, Simpsons:)

  • Sorry, i love this film, but you can't (badly) cut together this ape scene with THE jump cut to the space ship. It's just wrong! THE jump cut comes after the killing of the opposing ape 'tribe', not after this scene. Anyway, sorry to be pernickety!

    benj

  • I can, and I did. :)

  • it's okay to be pernickety.

  • I have no words to describe what the Kubrick's movies meant to me...

  • NZSIS team up with the cia.

  • APES....Monkeys have tails.¬

  • 1:43 to 1:48, the greatest scene in any movie ever made! The entire history of man from ape-man to the present is encapsulated in that period of time! Utter and complete genius. Although I don't believe in the premise, it's still genius.

  • a monkey throwing a bone thousands of years ago and now a satellite is in space yeah thats how far humans advanced.

  • @diemyth: why a million stars????????????

  • because in just 2 minutes you can see how the story of the human being changed foreverrrrr

  • if i could give this clip a million stars, i would.
