Before Tron, Avatar, District 9, Halo, The Matrix, Independence Day, Ghost in the Shell, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Terminator, Blade Runner, E.T., Alien, Battlestar Galactica, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Wars,............there was 2001: A Space Odyssey. PERIOD!
@Huddiethegreat And thats exactly what happens in the book. We loose all emotion, then body parts then the body itself untill we evolve to a kind of sprit if you will. An essance of light that has power over all the universe and its planets (which to them is only a starting point of life, not life itself) , untill it figures out a way to expand it reaches even futher and futher and further. Forever.
@SaucySauropods This scene is terrifying . The silence is chilling, and the image of the body spinning off to who knows where, is, as you said, haunting
Frank makes a comeback in 3001: the Final Odyssey. In that he is the main star, apparently he's been floating in space for 1000 years, and came back to life
Haunting scene. Kubrick's realism in acting even in a sci fi, the immediate drama, no air, struggling to breath, the silence of space. The power of gestures in acting. Brilliance in direction and a great film.
@AlfredsVisions The "power of gestures in acting"? Wow, you really are a wanker. He's flailing about like a moron, any idiot could have done what you deem as "brilliance." If a director told you that you had lost all oxygen supply and you were in outer space, how would you move your body? The real "power of gestures" lies in the subtle movements of actors in much more stationary and emotional scenes than this.
@ArcticWeaselStomper First of all, you'd flail around like a moron if you were tumbling through space with absolutely no way to stop.You see, people do something called "panicking" in dangerous situations. Secondly, he didn't lose all of his oxygen at once. It would take a few minutes for all the air in his suit to blow out of a small tube. Also you don't need oxygen to move your body. Watch a video of a dead snake or something moving around.
@iknowwhereyoulive006 I don't think the idea was to make Bowman react how a real astronaut would and for a mainstream Hollywood film his cold reaction is extremely inappropriate, for if the film was made by a lesser director one would expect a scream from Bowman.
I don't believe the evolutionary race is only about emotion, but I believe the point of showing a lack of emotion was to emphasize the departure from typical human feelings.
This is one of the few sci-fi movies that has ever depicted space as a noiseless environment, which it is. Majorly impressive effects for its time as well.
@TieLandProductions Thats the point. The irony is that HAL is the only one in the film that has an emotion. I think it has something to do with the topic of the film, the evolution of man. As we evolve we move further and further away from human, thus human things like emotion are absent
To make this static character so deliciously creepy with only jump cuts is amazing. I mean, it takes a master to make a red glass bubble terrifying. When the astronaut gets it, it's like a sword thrust to the gut or getting slammed by a freight train it's so well executed.
The Pod with it's outstretched arms and dark "eye" window is one of many evocations of the image of Cyclops from The Odyssey which are in the film. The one eye of HAL is the main one, but the Pod becomes the monster's body in this scene, killing Frank. What I love is the Moon, Earth and Sun at the start, three spheres, one red and glowing like HAL's eye. I assume there's a visual comparison there which is deliberate. Arty guy, Stanley.
Hey, armin and friends, break it up. If you want to continue your little comment war do it in private messages or something akin to that, because I'm sure a lot of people do not want to see that here. In my opinion, they're both great movies. However, 2001 focuses somewhat on horror while Avatar is all-out action, so you can't compare them.
The crazy thing is that in 3001 (The 4th and final novel) They find Frank's body in Saturn's ring and take it and revive him. So over 1,000 years of being dead and then brought back to life. I wonder if it would be like sleep where it felt like only a couple minutes.
I love how Dave acts completely nonchalant about the whole thing. "Hm, the only other human I can talk to until I reach Jupiter has just been sent spinning off into space. I think maybe I should get into an EVA pod and try to help him, but I won't show ANY sense of urgency whatsoever."
Stanley Kubrick was so ahead of his time it confused his contemporaries. Big-Dumb-Beefcake Actor Rock Hudson stormed out of the premiere of this movie because he couldn't understand what it was about, hahaha.
@dalek14mc no he was really pushed away from the space station they filmed this on into the nothingness of space only to be quite heroically saved by "Dave"
The lack of music, and the sudden halting of oxygen flow make this scene all the more scary. I read the book last week and saw it for the first time monday. Despite it being more than 20 years older than I am, it still creeped me right the fuck out.
@LordAmbitious "creeped me right the fuck out" is exactly the same emotion I felt when I saw this movie. It really is one profoundly disturbing movie. That is why on occasion I detach myself from all the computerized gadgets in my life and just work on my old retro muscle car.
this part of the movie is the best, the first part is slow, the third part need deep analysis just to comprehend, but the second is suspenceful and interesting. I don't want to knock the movie, its all fantastic as a whole, but these sences made the movie for me.
This scene is more disturbing than most scenes in horror films. That creepy zoom in on HAL, and just seeing how Frank is desperately trying to reconnect his oxygen tube is enough to send shivers down my spine.
It's said that Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan saw this movie together, and during this scene, Asimov whispered in annoyance, "He's breaking the First Law of Robotics! HAL is breaking First Law!" to which Sagan responded, "So, strike them with lightning, Isaac."
@LaughJester9000 Flew out into space...where there is no end what so ever...where he has an air tank with a limited supply... o.o yes that would suck.
@LaughJester9000 Flew out into space...where there is no end what so ever...where he has an air tank with a limited supply... o.o yes that would suck.
@AtTheMovies92 Actually, the movie is appreciated now far more than it was when it came out. If you look at IMDB ratings, young people rate it very high. I'm one of them.
@kataisa3 yesh. it makes this movie so wonderful, its more real than the other sci fi stuff. in the space there is just...nothing. just silence, darkness and death.
@Fernyrocks42 Poole & Bowman, worried that HAL seemed to be lying about something, discussed disconnecting some circuits. But HAL can lipread; and he's going insane because of conflicting directives. He decides to kill the astronauts to protect a secret mission (which they don't know about). This scene is where Frank is outside making repairs and HAL knocks him out with the pod. (In the book '3001' it turns out Frank is only frozen and he gets revived!)
@Chazbc nope just the truth. people like to say the old stuffs beter than the new stuff but no. this movie took place in a space ship and a calm talking computer was the bad guy. in avatar the na'vi wouldnt let us mine a substance more pletivill than iron but more valuable than diamonds but then we realize that were the bad guys not them and all the while in an extremely awsome cinimatic 3d expirence. so no sir. BALLS TO YOU!!
@armin3442 From your poor spelling and grammar, it's evident that you are either young or not very bright. Either way, perhaps in time you will come to understand why a movie like 2001 is still be watched over 32 years later while Avatar is likely to fade away except insofar as hollywood will do its best to milk the franchise.
@tightlypackedcoil grammer nazi! why the fuck would my spelling matter to you? i spell this way beccause i dont care if you think that and i dont feel like spell checking everything i type. i type it as i think it. and you cant say im wrong because its an OPINION not a FACT. this movie was filmed in poor quality, it was boring, and it has bad effects. while avatar was 3d wasome camera angles beastly cgi 1080p godly special fx and it looked realistic as fuck! so maby you like it, i dont care!!!!
@armin3442 - My opinion is that "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the best movie ever made. Even James Cameron tips his hat to Kubrick for making it and it could be reasoned that "Avatar" could not have been made without "2001" paving the way. In fact, Cameron narrated a special about "2001."
God! I wish the whole movie revolved around the plot of HAL trying to kill everyone in order to complete the mission. But nooooooooooo, everything else was acid trips and very very slow moving space ships.
Frank Poole was kind of a dick, anyway. I mean, really. He bossed HAL around, didn't care about video package from his parents and was a sore loser when he lost in chess.
Have you seen the movie? You have to be in the moment... the fact that it's so quiet, the close-up on HAL, the pod slowly spinning around because HAL is controlling it... It's about being completely powerless in space while you're in the control of a homicidal computer
@stewardo Technically it wasn't HAL's fault; later on you can see that the whole thing, right from the beginning of the antenna issue, was in fact due to the way instructions were presented to him- in other words, human error.
No, I get it I have seen it, I just mean, of all the things, isn't it amazing that this is so well done that it scares you even when you know it is going to happen?
Because it's the idea of being murdered by a machine in the infinite reaches of space where absolutely no one can help you in the precious time you have to be helped in.
For some reason the title of this video makes me laugh a bit.
It's amazing how well the effects have held up. It basically looks like a real space scene, something CGI still hasn't gotten right, even with things like Avatar.
@ancalites I agree with you that this movie has great CGI for its time and better than Avatar, but how do you know what real space looks like, unless your a physicist or astronaut? Videos and other films? I thought so.
@astralzenith ??? I don't understand the snarkiness with your last line. Yes, I'm basing my idea of what space looks like on videos of astronauts at work outside the Shuttle, ISS etc. The scenes in this movie closely resemble those because you've got simple yet realistic-looking models (real objects) and real people meshed together in a largely empty and minimalist environment (space). Works really well imo.
@ancalites yeah I understand what you mean, it does look beautiful, my point is just that we as viewers tend to form a conception of space that is based on other movies or clips of NASA footage. Even though the NASA footage is real, no one has seen what a scene like this SO:2001 would look like in real life so I'm suggesting that it is great, yes, but not that close to 'a real' space scene. Yet still beautiful.
@astralzenith Fair enough, I'll give you that - it looks like a real scene in outer space based on my conception of what space looks like based on real footage :)
It would be interesting to know what actual astronauts make of this film then, and whether it aligns well with their own experiences.
Add to that the timing and you have something near miraculous. The movie was released in 1968, before anyone had any first-hand knowledge of what we take for granted nowadays. Kubrick did well to team up with Clarke. Together they created Kubrick's original intention -- "the proverbial, good, science-fiction movie". 2001 has outlasted both of its creators, and serves as a fitting monument to both of them.
Avatar was supposed to be flashy and thus fake looking. Realy good ray tracing can infact create the illusion of space. We use it all the time. Done right you won't know it's cgi. Of course you won't see an entire movie done right. You won't get actual photo realistic results in real time via ray tracing, no matter how much modern day processesing power we throw at it. So every frame takes atleast a minute. That adds up.
Well, 2001 is well behind us and 2010 is here soon... so where's my HAL?
Bit disappointing, huh? 2010 is here and we're no further than the moon.
Personally, I hope I'm alive when a proper AI arrives - and it will arrive as soon as the human brain is mapped fully. The blueprint for AI resides in every person's skull... scary, isn't it?
Fucked up scene.

@Chazbc nope just the truth. people like to say the old stuffs beter than the new stuff but no. this movie took place in a space ship and a calm talking computer was the bad guy. in avatar the na'vi wouldnt let us mine a substance more pletivill than iron but more valuable than diamonds but then we realize that were the bad guys not them and all the while in an extremely awsome cinimatic 3d expirence. so no sir. BALLS TO YOU!!

@armin3442 I understand what you mean, I hate when people say that stuff is worse because it's newer, but Avatar was a bit over-rated in my opinion.

@Chazbc as for the plot yea you kinda got a point but as for the cinematics no way it was awsome

@armin3442 From your poor spelling and grammar, it's evident that you are either young or not very bright. Either way, perhaps in time you will come to understand why a movie like 2001 is still be watched over 32 years later while Avatar is likely to fade away except insofar as hollywood will do its best to milk the franchise.

@tightlypackedcoil grammer nazi! why the fuck would my spelling matter to you? i spell this way beccause i dont care if you think that and i dont feel like spell checking everything i type. i type it as i think it. and you cant say im wrong because its an OPINION not a FACT. this movie was filmed in poor quality, it was boring, and it has bad effects. while avatar was 3d wasome camera angles beastly cgi 1080p godly special fx and it looked realistic as fuck! so maby you like it, i dont care!!!!

@armin3442 - My opinion is that "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the best movie ever made. Even James Cameron tips his hat to Kubrick for making it and it could be reasoned that "Avatar" could not have been made without "2001" paving the way. In fact, Cameron narrated a special about "2001."

2001 a space odyssey is the one movie where you don't hear anything in space: you scream and nobody hears you!

God! I wish the whole movie revolved around the plot of HAL trying to kill everyone in order to complete the mission. But nooooooooooo, everything else was acid trips and very very slow moving space ships.

Frank Poole was kind of a dick, anyway. I mean, really. He bossed HAL around, didn't care about video package from his parents and was a sore loser when he lost in chess.

Have you seen the movie? You have to be in the moment... the fact that it's so quiet, the close-up on HAL, the pod slowly spinning around because HAL is controlling it... It's about being completely powerless in space while you're in the control of a homicidal computer

@stewardo Technically it wasn't HAL's fault; later on you can see that the whole thing, right from the beginning of the antenna issue, was in fact due to the way instructions were presented to him- in other words, human error.

I did not say it was his fault. I was just commenting on how they were in his CONTROL, due to the fact of how he was programmed.

No, I get it I have seen it, I just mean, of all the things, isn't it amazing that this is so well done that it scares you even when you know it is going to happen?

Because it's the idea of being murdered by a machine in the infinite reaches of space where absolutely no one can help you in the precious time you have to be helped in.
For some reason the title of this video makes me laugh a bit.
maxpower789z 1 year ago
It's amazing how well the effects have held up. It basically looks like a real space scene, something CGI still hasn't gotten right, even with things like Avatar.
ancalites 1 year ago 92
@ancalites I agree with you that this movie has great CGI for its time and better than Avatar, but how do you know what real space looks like, unless your a physicist or astronaut? Videos and other films? I thought so.
astralzenith 1 year ago
@astralzenith ??? I don't understand the snarkiness with your last line. Yes, I'm basing my idea of what space looks like on videos of astronauts at work outside the Shuttle, ISS etc. The scenes in this movie closely resemble those because you've got simple yet realistic-looking models (real objects) and real people meshed together in a largely empty and minimalist environment (space). Works really well imo.
ancalites 1 year ago
@ancalites yeah I understand what you mean, it does look beautiful, my point is just that we as viewers tend to form a conception of space that is based on other movies or clips of NASA footage. Even though the NASA footage is real, no one has seen what a scene like this SO:2001 would look like in real life so I'm suggesting that it is great, yes, but not that close to 'a real' space scene. Yet still beautiful.
astralzenith 1 year ago
@astralzenith Fair enough, I'll give you that - it looks like a real scene in outer space based on my conception of what space looks like based on real footage :)
It would be interesting to know what actual astronauts make of this film then, and whether it aligns well with their own experiences.

@ancalites
Add to that the timing and you have something near miraculous. The movie was released in 1968, before anyone had any first-hand knowledge of what we take for granted nowadays. Kubrick did well to team up with Clarke. Together they created Kubrick's original intention -- "the proverbial, good, science-fiction movie". 2001 has outlasted both of its creators, and serves as a fitting monument to both of them.

Avatar was supposed to be flashy and thus fake looking. Realy good ray tracing can infact create the illusion of space. We use it all the time. Done right you won't know it's cgi. Of course you won't see an entire movie done right. You won't get actual photo realistic results in real time via ray tracing, no matter how much modern day processesing power we throw at it. So every frame takes atleast a minute. That adds up.

Well, 2001 is well behind us and 2010 is here soon... so where's my HAL?
Bit disappointing, huh? 2010 is here and we're no further than the moon.
Personally, I hope I'm alive when a proper AI arrives - and it will arrive as soon as the human brain is mapped fully. The blueprint for AI resides in every person's skull... scary, isn't it?

I don't think you would want HAL after seeing this movie and watching the many parodies of him. You should be happy with IBM. lol
