Hal is malfunctioning as he got the song wrong. Correction... Daisy, Daisy, Give me your tits to chew, I'm half crazy, My bollocks are turning blue, I can't afford a johnny, A plastic bag will do, But you'll look sweet, Beneath the sheet, With me on top of you. Not heard this song since my child modification programming at primary school.
Stop saying "read the book". The movie script should make sense on its own. This film completely lacks cohesiveness and it's not a good thing when a viewer has to go "WTF?!" like every minute or so..
@JumpStartation Sorry I'm not that much of an upstart to read a book before every single movie I happen to watch..I guess I'm not worthy to explore the legendary director's work before I educate my inferior mind..
@JumpStartation Talking of reading..ever heard of reading with understanding? "..to read a book before every single movie I happen to watch." I do watch a lot of movies and I do read plenty of books (most of which were never turned into movies), but as I've said I'm not gonna read source material every time I'm curious about some director's work. Or I'm just too stupid to go through few hundred books a year..sorry
@Itsooz This film is interesting exactly because it makes us go WTF. It's supposed to make us think and wonder. But if you want to know what the film is about, it's about us encountering the first alien civilisation (and not making much of it).
Or real dialogue and special effects. Quit thinking you're more intelligent than others because you like a boring, low quality movie based on good books. People who like this need movie adaptations.
@DarkVasutasKollega I think he was transported into another world, and as time went by he evolved into a god like being, looks like the huge monolith was some kind of stargate.
@jamesevil12 that music is played every time the black monolith is present in the film or by other definition every time man takes an evolutionary step. we are given repeated confirmation that this is the singing voices of the monolith and that it only sings when it is helping it's primitive hosts to evolve.

@jeff2all I first saw it in a theater when I was a preschooler. Yikes! It messed up my head so bad I was up all night quivering for a week, trying not to stare at my closet door a few feet in front of my bed, hoping it wouldn't turn into that freakish monolith & do evil things to me! I couldn't formulate words either because I was embarrassed to admit to my parents that a movie they took me to had creeped me out so much. Way scarier than The Shining! It will never leave me, either.
I saw this as a first-run film with my father and older brother when I was 7. No, it will never leave me either. At almost the same time in 1968, Planet of the Apes was released. Another brother took me to see that instead of a Disney film - Blackbeard's Ghost - he was supposed to take me to see. That one too has never left me.
Those two films put me off space travel for life, given the dead-astronaut-in-hibernation count.
@irishdan2020 I don't think it's just you. I bet Lucas saw this movie. Also, note the opening scene of Star Wars, with the desert planet and its moons, and compare with the opening title scene of 2001, with the Moon, Earth, and Sun, and also the Jupiter & moons scene here. Only, Lucas got the moon phases wrong in the SW scene. Aside from that, they're pretty similar.
@irishdan2020 Also, just look at the spherical command module of the Discovery, without the long boom or the power module. Imagine it with only one pod bay door instead of three, and minus the observation deck. It pretty much IS the Death Star.
Possible racism alert: Kubrick changed HAL's programmer from Clarke's "Dr. Chandra" - clearly Indian - to "Mr. Langley." Did Kubrick just decide that a computer genius couldn't possibly be Asian?
@boriato I disagree. Hal states that his "instructor" was Mr. Langley. Dr. Chandra may not have been the one to work directly with HAL on his speach and emotional responses. I have to believe that there was more than one person involved in HAL's design and programming.
As far as it being racist: The name Chandra can be derived from several ethnicities. I personally knew a German woman with the last name Chandra.
@kallabos True, "Chandra" could be any of several ethnicities. In the Odyssey series, though, he's Indian. In Clarke's Odyssey, the disconnection scene HAL refers to "Dr. Chandra" and in Kubrick's movie version, HAL refers to "Mr. Langley" in the corresponding scene. Also of interest, in the movie version of 2010, Dr Chandra keeps his name but is played by a white guy who looks sounds & acts very American! It does seem that SF movie makers like to keep the genius characters white.
WARNING! Those of you who havent seen this film, do not watch the rest of this video. And also dont click on part 12 and 13 I swear I just saw it. Trust me DON'T! you are about to get hit by mangekyou sharigan.
@boriato I asked the question durring my very first viewing of the movie. I didn't know then that he was being downloaded, I thought he was racing through space into a black hole or something and the faster he went the more pressure would be put onto his body eventually crushing him. But I've viewed the movie some more and went onto film boards to find answers to my questions. Thank you for the Info though!
@MichaelMorbius4ever Actually that's sorta true; he is racing through space at incredible accelerations. In the sequel: 2010 (the book) Heywood Floyd and one of his Russian counterparts discuss what happened to Dave and his pod. The last data they have is that it was accelerating at such a rate, the forces should have killed Dave instantly ...but the pod radio sending that data should have been crushed as well, yet mysteriously it still sent data, so they think Dave might also have survived.
@CompactDisc7227 Spoiler? I thought it was a grabber! The mystery of David Bowman's fate is what motivates the mission in 2010. Solving it is what the book is about. Well, that and the tacky scene where Dave's digitalized ghost is sent back to Earth to cybersex his old girlfriend and then lovingly brush his dying mother's hair - an unfortunate "yeech" in an otherwise pretty good book.
Absolute nothing is the most impossible thing infinitely! Even black-hole's are made up of something... just interjecting my two cents heh heh, Bassbait and Camohat100.
Hey, does anybody here know about Confused Matthew, and the multitudes of people that think that 2001 has no plot at all? Have you noticed that at 3:09, it actually explains the entire plot of the movie? Why do people claim "crap floating in space" when this scene alone says completely opposite of that? That there is actually a plot? People are so ignorant to this film, I don't get it.
@Camohat100 Are you being an idiot? The first minute of every movie is nothing. You are obviously an idiot if you agree with Confused Matthew, because he is entirely wrong. You know what you just explained? A plot: monkeys = characters. floating in space = setting and action. Therefore, a plot. You've been proven wrong within your own comment.
@Bassbait no i am not wrong. for there to be a plot the "characters" have to interact and do stuff that is relevant to the rest of the movie. the monkeys did not do that,nor did floyd when he talked to the people at the station. the first thing the characters do the is relevent to the plot is take 5 mins to go to the fuckin black thing,and we didn't even need to see that because they talked about later in the nothingness that is this duck shit of a movie.
@Camohat100 You are an idiot again. For you see, Heywood Floyd's actions are centered around, shocker, a MONOLITH. So therefore, it's relevant to the Monkey scene. Dave Bowman's traveling to Jupiter is centered around A MONOLITH, so it's related to Floyd and the monkeys. When he finally goes into that bizarre trippy sequence, again, it's centered around THE MONOLITH. So you are wrong, demonstrably, again. You have no argument, because you lack the evidence to support your claims.
@Bassbait i didn't mean relevent in that it dosen't have anything to do with the rest of the film (i you could call it that) i meant relevent to us the viewers. we don't need to see the first 60 mins of the "film" because that gets mentioned and explained latter on. do we need to see floyd talk to his daughter? no we do not because we never even see him the rest of the film. do we need to see a monkey pick up a bone a break suff for 5 mins? no. Do we need to see EVERY second of there journeys?no
@Camohat100 We need to see the first 60 minutes of the film because it establishes EVERYTHING for the later part, like the atmosphere, the motifs, the themes, and so forth. It's not just that he's talking to a daughter, it's showing the inhuman aspect to human life in the fictional world of the movie. We do need to see a monkey pick up a bone and break stuff, that establishes that man becomes that way through weapons. We don't see every second of their journeys.
@Bassbait oh and you trying to expail and understand the movie is not what the makes wanted. they wanted this to raise more questioned than it answered. which is why it's such a bad movie.because anyone could have written it in the same way ( not talking about MAKING it because yes,it looks great and there where some awesome shots). ANYONE could have written this,or at least some thing like it,because all it is(with the exception of the HAL story) is randomness and crap floating in space.fuck u.
@Camohat100 The makers (you honestly need to learn how to type). It's a great movie because nobody could have written it that way, hence, why NOBODY DID. Nobody has written a film like this prior to this movie, and afterward, all of the movies that ripped it off (Alien, for example), couldn't do it nearly the same way. The only film-maker that could pull off the same style of writing as with this movie was, unsurprisingly, Stanley Kubrick, who continued this style all the way to his death.

Is HAL supposed to be Polyphemus, the Cyclops in Homer's Odyssey who traps the sailors in a cave and eats them, and Bowman supposed to be Odysseus who gets Polyphemus drunk and stabs his eye to let his men escape? HAL does appear with one round "eye" like a Cyclops, and in Homer, Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is "No man" - Bowman - No man - maybe a parallel. But beyond that, what would Clarke or Kubrick want us to get out of the Polyphemus - Odysseus thing? What does it do for the story?
"what would Clarke or Kubrick want us to get out of the Polyphemus - Odysseus thing? What does it do for the story?"-boriato
Dude, the Monolith IS the Trojan Horse and Heywood Floyd is supposed to be King Priam trying to protect human civilization from destruction...I read that somewhere, fu%$in intense!
@RideMyBMW I hadn't thought of the Trojan Horse parallel before. Interesting. It kind of turns the story on its head, since Odysseus was one of the invaders Priam was afraid of, but Bowman is a pawn in Floyd's establisment ...but he does "invade" Earth as the Starchild @ the end. 3 times he appears to go inside the monolith like a Greek inside the Horse: in the disconnection scene HAL's "brain" looks like a monolith interior, then in Jupiter orbit, then in his final transformation. Maybe.
"Odysseus was one of the invaders Priam was afraid of, but Bowman is a pawn in Floyd's establisment"-boriato
Floyd represents the "elites" and protects their interests. All humans (slaves) were supposed to die on board the ship.The elites wanted HAL to make contact, or sabotage the mission or no contact at all,who knows, but one thing is for certain, the Monolith was the Trojan Horse from the stars, a ticking time bomb for the elites.
@RideMyBMW I haven't got a clue why Kubrick went eighteenth century. Kubrick fans will see it as part of some encoded narrative. From a sci fi perspective, it suggests the aliens know a lot about Western human history & culture.
Not sure I can buy the idea that the elites led by Floyd wanted the human crew of Discovery to die. Why would Floyd program HAL to play the video explaining the secret mission? For that matter, why send humans at all, if he only wants them to die?
@boriato "the elites led by Floyd wanted the human crew of Discovery to die. Why would Floyd program HAL to play the video explaining the secret mission? For that matter, why send humans at all, if he only wants them to die?"
Good point. I believe there were differerent factions within ASA (NASA). Floyd´s mission was to protect Western Civilization...Bowman might have been the face of one of the groups (Masons?), HAL the visible face of the other group (the Nazis perhaps?).
@boriato HAL was alone in his actions against the humans of the mission. He killed them because he was instructed to do something he was not programmed to do, to lie. That's at least my opinion. I think RideMyBMW is reading a little too much into this(is that even possible with this movie? I don't know anymore...)
"I think RideMyBMW is reading a little too much into this"- PoddaJawada
Hey buttwad, try explaining the 18th century guest suite at the end...and no, don´t gimme the tired old "its an alien zoo" line. The Monolith is a "Trojan Horse" from the stars. Objective: The destruction of human civilization from the inside.
2001 is in many ways an allegory of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Even its theme music is a nod to this. Explaining the end as an alien zoo would not give this movie its due. Maybe it has something to do with Nietzsche himself?
Hey butt munch, Kubrick made this film for about a dozen folks at NASA, peppered it with a little action and FX for the masses. But only a 33rd degree Mason could fully understand this movie. The last 15 min are entirely Masonic/Kabbala code (ie: "illuminated" floor, paintings illustrating the "tree of knowledge", shattered goblet (Hebrew/Kabbala), 8x8 floor grid,etc)
@RideMyBMW I've heard people making something of the 8x8 floor grid before, but dude, count the squares of the grid. It's 8x10. You just don't see all the squares in every scene.
@boriato Hey buttwad, the 8X8 grid represents our DNA codons (64). The last 15 min are a giant metaphor for changes happening to Bowman at a molecular level.
The guest room represents "Masonic America" and their quest for ultimate knowledge.
@RideMyBMW You don't think that's the Prez, do you? That's Heywood Floyd. But apparently, it was to protect the CKs of the world from just such a calamity that they felt they had to keep the discovery a secret. I'm an FTL man myself, so I guess I would have been okay.
@RideMyBMW In the wake of the Nov 2 US elections, I wonder whethe we HAVE to leave Earth to discover intelligence; there's not a whole lot here! But would it really be such a shock? I suspect most of us would be interested, but would get on with life. Floyd's official line that the public has to be protected from cultural disorientation is a smokescreen.
'THROW OUT YOUR GRANITE COUNTER TOPS!' they're evil i tell ya. whoa on to ye that abondon formica . my god its too late Kubrick was right , since 2001there is not a home that doesnt have a black granite counter top. this movie is my interior design bible. go ye now to IKEA or ye will suffer.
HAL's last conscious act is to play Floyd's briefing. It seems to be his way of "coming clean" to Dave about having deceived him about the nature of the mission. Like a deathbed confession.
That is the best part of the movie. I just imagine myself in Dave's place, with every passing second getting even farther and farther away from everything knows, unable to communicate with anybody else. He doesn't know where he's going, but he can't stop it. He doesn't know where this is going to end, and nobody will ever see the things he is seeing, nor he will have the chance to tell anybody about it.
Um can anyone tell me WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO!? he must of been smoking some really good stuff or something but really whats going on at the ending of this video?
Everybody say's that the Hal 9000 is the villain of the film when he and the voyage itself is just a minor subplot. The monolith is the true hero/villain of the movie. Hal knows of the monolith and what happened to the previous crew. The entire movie centers around the monolith. Its the reason there in space in the first place. Just something i noticed.
HAL has no sympathy from me! He is a mass murderer, but I suppose the monolith made him do it, just as it made the ape human ancestors more murderous to survive in the first place.
so... the manalith makes life forms vialent and murderas every alinment than if u go looking for it it will sent u on a bad shrum trip. thats a lot of trubal for refigerater box
The sounds of dread in the background are very appropriate. We as humans are very scared of this big black universe. We have no idea why the hell these planets are here. We don't know what's out there if you go far enough.
What's responsible for creating all that hostile majesty?
This movie is about warring factions within NASA. The Nazis v. Masons. The Nazis wanted to kill everyone on board and have their "gollum/machine" encounter the aliens. The Masons wanted "Man" to have first contact. They agreed to have a deathmatch on the Discovery for dibs on the greatest discovery in human history.
I remember when I watched this with my mom for the first time when i was 12 she wanted to fast forward through almost the entire movie but i wanted to watch it so she kept complaining on how long and boring the movie is. I also watched A Clockwork Orange when I was 13 and she hated it but I loved both movies and I realized that I have more patience than her. She didn't understand Kubrick and how brilliant and artful his films are.
@Childist2 It was more or less the same story with my brother. When I was 13, he wanted me to watch Star Wars with him but I've always found George Lucas' extravaganzas deeply boring whereas at the same time I loved 2001 A Space Odyssey which still is my favorite film!
This movie is not about what a looot of people think. The meaning is all in images.
Some of you, if you have read abou awarness and ego, will detect the sings and images all along this movie. Take a close look to the images, and the statments about who hal really - some see a black monolith, but if you pay attention, some will see something different shown in particular moments. When the sun is on top, and the black stones forms a triangle......namaste.

@kallabos True, "Chandra" could be any of several ethnicities. In the Odyssey series, though, he's Indian. In Clarke's Odyssey, the disconnection scene HAL refers to "Dr. Chandra" and in Kubrick's movie version, HAL refers to "Mr. Langley" in the corresponding scene. Also of interest, in the movie version of 2010, Dr Chandra keeps his name but is played by a white guy who looks sounds & acts very American! It does seem that SF movie makers like to keep the genius characters white.

Dumb question; is Dave dead when whe see his face durring the still shots?
MichaelMorbius4ever 1 year ago
@MichaelMorbius4ever No, he's not dead. What would suggest he's dead here? He still has to be downloaded & transformed into the Starchild @ the end.
boriato 1 year ago
@boriato I asked the question durring my very first viewing of the movie. I didn't know then that he was being downloaded, I thought he was racing through space into a black hole or something and the faster he went the more pressure would be put onto his body eventually crushing him. But I've viewed the movie some more and went onto film boards to find answers to my questions. Thank you for the Info though!
MichaelMorbius4ever 1 year ago
@MichaelMorbius4ever Actually that's sorta true; he is racing through space at incredible accelerations. In the sequel: 2010 (the book) Heywood Floyd and one of his Russian counterparts discuss what happened to Dave and his pod. The last data they have is that it was accelerating at such a rate, the forces should have killed Dave instantly ...but the pod radio sending that data should have been crushed as well, yet mysteriously it still sent data, so they think Dave might also have survived.

@CompactDisc7227 Spoiler? I thought it was a grabber! The mystery of David Bowman's fate is what motivates the mission in 2010. Solving it is what the book is about. Well, that and the tacky scene where Dave's digitalized ghost is sent back to Earth to cybersex his old girlfriend and then lovingly brush his dying mother's hair - an unfortunate "yeech" in an otherwise pretty good book.

Hey, does anybody here know about Confused Matthew, and the multitudes of people that think that 2001 has no plot at all? Have you noticed that at 3:09, it actually explains the entire plot of the movie? Why do people claim "crap floating in space" when this scene alone says completely opposite of that? That there is actually a plot? People are so ignorant to this film, I don't get it.
Bassbait 1 year ago
@Bassbait lol no man theres not its nothingness. the first min 40 secs of the movie was landscape.then monkeys.then crap floting in space. fuck this.
Camohat100 1 year ago
@Camohat100 Are you being an idiot? The first minute of every movie is nothing. You are obviously an idiot if you agree with Confused Matthew, because he is entirely wrong. You know what you just explained? A plot: monkeys = characters. floating in space = setting and action. Therefore, a plot. You've been proven wrong within your own comment.
Bassbait 1 year ago
@Bassbait no i am not wrong. for there to be a plot the "characters" have to interact and do stuff that is relevant to the rest of the movie. the monkeys did not do that,nor did floyd when he talked to the people at the station. the first thing the characters do the is relevent to the plot is take 5 mins to go to the fuckin black thing,and we didn't even need to see that because they talked about later in the nothingness that is this duck shit of a movie.
Camohat100 1 year ago
@Camohat100 You are an idiot again. For you see, Heywood Floyd's actions are centered around, shocker, a MONOLITH. So therefore, it's relevant to the Monkey scene. Dave Bowman's traveling to Jupiter is centered around A MONOLITH, so it's related to Floyd and the monkeys. When he finally goes into that bizarre trippy sequence, again, it's centered around THE MONOLITH. So you are wrong, demonstrably, again. You have no argument, because you lack the evidence to support your claims.
Bassbait 1 year ago
@Bassbait i didn't mean relevent in that it dosen't have anything to do with the rest of the film (i you could call it that) i meant relevent to us the viewers. we don't need to see the first 60 mins of the "film" because that gets mentioned and explained latter on. do we need to see floyd talk to his daughter? no we do not because we never even see him the rest of the film. do we need to see a monkey pick up a bone a break suff for 5 mins? no. Do we need to see EVERY second of there journeys?no
Camohat100 1 year ago
@Camohat100 We need to see the first 60 minutes of the film because it establishes EVERYTHING for the later part, like the atmosphere, the motifs, the themes, and so forth. It's not just that he's talking to a daughter, it's showing the inhuman aspect to human life in the fictional world of the movie. We do need to see a monkey pick up a bone and break stuff, that establishes that man becomes that way through weapons. We don't see every second of their journeys.

@Bassbait oh and you trying to expail and understand the movie is not what the makes wanted. they wanted this to raise more questioned than it answered. which is why it's such a bad movie.because anyone could have written it in the same way ( not talking about MAKING it because yes,it looks great and there where some awesome shots). ANYONE could have written this,or at least some thing like it,because all it is(with the exception of the HAL story) is randomness and crap floating in space.fuck u.

@Camohat100 The makers (you honestly need to learn how to type). It's a great movie because nobody could have written it that way, hence, why NOBODY DID. Nobody has written a film like this prior to this movie, and afterward, all of the movies that ripped it off (Alien, for example), couldn't do it nearly the same way. The only film-maker that could pull off the same style of writing as with this movie was, unsurprisingly, Stanley Kubrick, who continued this style all the way to his death.

Is HAL supposed to be Polyphemus, the Cyclops in Homer's Odyssey who traps the sailors in a cave and eats them, and Bowman supposed to be Odysseus who gets Polyphemus drunk and stabs his eye to let his men escape? HAL does appear with one round "eye" like a Cyclops, and in Homer, Odysseus tells Polyphemus his name is "No man" - Bowman - No man - maybe a parallel. But beyond that, what would Clarke or Kubrick want us to get out of the Polyphemus - Odysseus thing? What does it do for the story?

RideMyBMW 1 year ago
@RideMyBMW I hadn't thought of the Trojan Horse parallel before. Interesting. It kind of turns the story on its head, since Odysseus was one of the invaders Priam was afraid of, but Bowman is a pawn in Floyd's establisment ...but he does "invade" Earth as the Starchild @ the end. 3 times he appears to go inside the monolith like a Greek inside the Horse: in the disconnection scene HAL's "brain" looks like a monolith interior, then in Jupiter orbit, then in his final transformation. Maybe.

Floyd represents the "elites" and protects their interests. All humans (slaves) were supposed to die on board the ship.The elites wanted HAL to make contact, or sabotage the mission or no contact at all,who knows, but one thing is for certain, the Monolith was the Trojan Horse from the stars, a ticking time bomb for the elites.

@boriato I want your thoughts on the "guest room suite" at the end (parts 12 and 13).
Why do you think Kubrick went 18th century?
RideMyBMW 1 year ago
@RideMyBMW I haven't got a clue why Kubrick went eighteenth century. Kubrick fans will see it as part of some encoded narrative. From a sci fi perspective, it suggests the aliens know a lot about Western human history & culture.
Not sure I can buy the idea that the elites led by Floyd wanted the human crew of Discovery to die. Why would Floyd program HAL to play the video explaining the secret mission? For that matter, why send humans at all, if he only wants them to die?
boriato 1 year ago
@boriato "the elites led by Floyd wanted the human crew of Discovery to die. Why would Floyd program HAL to play the video explaining the secret mission? For that matter, why send humans at all, if he only wants them to die?"
Good point. I believe there were differerent factions within ASA (NASA). Floyd´s mission was to protect Western Civilization...Bowman might have been the face of one of the groups (Masons?), HAL the visible face of the other group (the Nazis perhaps?).
RideMyBMW 1 year ago
@boriato HAL was alone in his actions against the humans of the mission. He killed them because he was instructed to do something he was not programmed to do, to lie. That's at least my opinion. I think RideMyBMW is reading a little too much into this(is that even possible with this movie? I don't know anymore...)

Hey buttwad, try explaining the 18th century guest suite at the end...and no, don´t gimme the tired old "its an alien zoo" line. The Monolith is a "Trojan Horse" from the stars. Objective: The destruction of human civilization from the inside.
RideMyBMW 1 year ago
@RideMyBMW Calm down, no need for namecalling.
2001 is in many ways an allegory of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Even its theme music is a nod to this. Explaining the end as an alien zoo would not give this movie its due. Maybe it has something to do with Nietzsche himself?

Hey butt munch, Kubrick made this film for about a dozen folks at NASA, peppered it with a little action and FX for the masses. But only a 33rd degree Mason could fully understand this movie. The last 15 min are entirely Masonic/Kabbala code (ie: "illuminated" floor, paintings illustrating the "tree of knowledge", shattered goblet (Hebrew/Kabbala), 8x8 floor grid,etc)
RideMyBMW 1 year ago
@RideMyBMW I've heard people making something of the 8x8 floor grid before, but dude, count the squares of the grid. It's 8x10. You just don't see all the squares in every scene.
boriato 1 year ago
@boriato Hey buttwad, the 8X8 grid represents our DNA codons (64). The last 15 min are a giant metaphor for changes happening to Bowman at a molecular level.
The guest room represents "Masonic America" and their quest for ultimate knowledge.

He doesn't know where this is going to end, and nobody will ever see the things he is seeing, nor he will have the chance to tell anybody about it.

Everybody say's that the Hal 9000 is the villain of the film when he and the voyage itself is just a minor subplot. The monolith is the true hero/villain of the movie. Hal knows of the monolith and what happened to the previous crew. The entire movie centers around the monolith. Its the reason there in space in the first place. Just something i noticed.

She didn't understand Kubrick and how brilliant and artful his films are.
