The reason why HAL is so relaxed, is because the voice actor, Douglas Rain, was sitting in an easy chair with pillows under his feet while being recorded. This is one of my all time favorite movies. The idea that artificial intelligence can turn deadly....
You'd think Hal's creators would give it a more likable voice. This one sounds like a serial killer. Maybe something like Woody Allen would be better or at least less intimidating.
No H I still have 3 of these action dolls about 6-7 inches in lenght from 1969-70...they even have the helmets with the pull up visors...exact colors of that burn't orange color Dave wears...if you want one give me an email ...al best!
@pat1981lux you're obviously a new generation, degenerate and unintelligent being with no desire to think and explore the more greater things the human race has to offer - boring defines your kind
Amazing. A movie that came out over 40 years ago has the best special effects of all time. Forget all of the lame cgi that came out in the past few decades and all of the post-Star Wars effects. This is the standard bearer.

@Smoothbluehero hmmm. you could try some common outlets like blockbuster videos, video rentals or may be your community library depending on the country you are living in !
@StarWarsFanatic99 yeah they both definately have their charms, dave would be easier to have sex with, but hal, hes got the voice, still cant choose between 'em
@xxtiaan me neither! and you are SO right about the voice... sometimes when i'm watching the movie, i close my eyes and just listen whenever HAL talks ^_^
@StarWarsFanatic99 hey have you watched "moon" (directed by david bowies son) its a great little film with lots of kubric influences, existential angst, a clint mansell soundtrack and the cuteness that is sam rockwell, its pretty good, I think youll like it.
Kubrick does things his own way. Have you ever seen Doctor Strangelove? where the bad was a good guy the ultimate enemy. but the way he does it is classy, a whole scene moving and all we hear is breathing. coordinated with motion its a sound track, nice upload thanj you very much.

@SuperColonel77 I don't think it's based on Homer, since the stories are completely different; one is a return home after a war, while the other is a voyage toward the unknown, with a motive unknown even to the crew. But HAL looks like a cyclops - literally, round eye - as sort of an added touch. The idea for calling it "Odyssey" came from Kubrick, while the main story elements must be attributed to Clarke. Still, Odysseus calls himself "No man" to Polyphemus. "Bowman" "No man" Maybe.
@SuperColonel77 Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was on purpose: picturing HAL with a big round eye like the cyclops Polyphemus. It emphasizes that the crew is trapped in the Discovery with a monster (sort of) who intends to kill them all. And the Bowman - No man thing. Makes sense at that level. But Odysseus saves his crew, Dave doesn't & Polyphemus finally curses Odysseus to a long hard voyage home, but HAL finally plays the recording for Dave, in effect, confessing his guilt of deceiving him.
@GordonFreeman70 There are LOTS of parallels between 2001 and Kubrick's later film The Shining (w/Jack Nicholson). Freaked out in a bathroom by rapid aging scenes in both, Danny riding his tricycle around the hotel = Frank running around the Discovery, a few people isolated & trapped in a habitat that is itself conscious & hostile. Even the way Danny walks is like how the astronauts walk in space. The ending with Dave absorbed by the Monolith = Jack absorbed by the 1921 photo in The Shining.
@Grimblicious My best guess is that the cylindrical hallway is (at first) stationary and the far room with the ladder is being rotated clockwise. When the room aligns so that the ladder is facing "down" they both step from the hallway and the room stops rotating. At the same time, the hallway section would start to rotate in a counterclockwise direction at an identical speed. The camera, being mounted in the hallway, would give the illusion that the room with the ladder is still rotating.
@MaxJ76 That's hardly a spoiler, both because it's already a safe bet there will be some problem with HAL, and because there's a whole lot more going on. The question is: WHAT is making him crazy? Does it have to do with the Monolith? With Heywood Floyd? His creators? The crew?

It's part 7 and I still don't have a clue what this movie is really about. There's so much irrelevant stuff going on and I don't really know anything about the characters. Maybe from an artistic point of view this movie is great, but damn, at this point they should at least establish some main plot which I, as a viewer could care about.
@Viz731 I know, I've read it. I was just making a little joke, but thanks for the head's up. :) Also, I prefer being left to believe what I will, not being led by the nose to a definite end. Still, the book is well worth the read.
@Itsooz Its all based around the monolith findings and the strangeness of them. They get some signal from one of Jupiters moons so they go and check it out. On board is Hal-9000..He wants the mission to go perfectly and soon believes that the humans on board may cause it to fail. So, he gets rid of them to save the mission..but fails. Bowman shuts down Hal and after that, goes and checks out the huge monolith(ironically the moons and Jupiter line up with this) and then..! Something wonderful..
@Itsooz This film is about our fist discovery of aliens. The aliens placed these monoliths in the Solar System. The exact purpose of these monoliths is unknown, but they seem to affect our evolution.
oh my god, this movie is getting on my nerves. Why are we supposed to care about this boring, lifeless, underwritten, undeveloped characters exactly? The only one who seems ot have any sort of personality is the COMPUTER!
@ralaq Well, the two astronauts are boring. That seems intentional: the way Frank watches his parents' enthusiastic & loving birthday greeting with such emotional numbness, and Dave seems to be the ultimate loner. That's one of the points of the movie: this is a "future" in which family and emotional ties are withering. The sequels get more into their characters, and you learn especially more about Heywood Floyd.
@boriato Plus, their distance from Earth only increases their isolation. In the book Clarke talks about this a lot.
@ralaq In my opinion, their dullness is what makes these characters work so well. They are realistic, and that's very, very important when the movie is really about humanity as a whole, and especially our role in the universe. I also like how you've posted a comment on seemingly all of these, lol. Well kudos for sitting through it anyways, I guess. 2001 is def not for everyone!
@raleighwhisp We who like 2001 do have to admit a couple of things: It's slow. Many back in the '60's and -70's thought so, too, not just the 21st century audience. Also, the boring characters do work well in a sense, but part of the reason for them is that Clarke was more a visionary than a character author. Few characters were compelling, especially back then. His Odyssey sequels were interesting in that he did go more into the characters. Those who like characters may like the sequels.
@lu4y4pants I like the movie, but I agree with you. And even when it first came out, there were critics who thought it was way too slow. Kinda like the Star Wars prequels, which try to wow you with special effects rather than getting on with the story. The effects here were amazing for their day, and are even great by today's standards, but they get tiresome. Only, what story there is here is way more interesting. The book, and Clarke's sequels, actually tell the story. Way better.
I guess HAL made up the A-35 failure story so that Frank would have to leave the spaceship to check it, and then HAL could kill him? Correct me if I'm wrong
no other scene in cinema conveys space like this one...imagine if george lucas has directed this scene: r2d2 would retrieve the unit in about 5 seconds.
@kingeric77 If Lucas had made it, it would be full of stupid useless flashy effects and it would be crappy. The first 3 star wars films were good because people still questioned his bad decisions rather than letting him do everything the way he wanted to.
@kingeric77 Lucas ripped lots of images from this film. Front of Discovery, with only one pod bay door and minus the flight deck window... Instant Death Star. Moons of Jupiter scene in 2001 and opening scene of SW, Lucas got the moon phases wrong, but besides that, pretty similar. The list could go on. Only, Lucas HAD to throw in sound in space, and laser beams visible in a vacuum, and other jarring stupidities. There are mistakes in this film too, but Lucas almost TRIED to be dumb.
@boriato the difference is that star wars is a fantasy film and this is science fiction. Also, it has things this film doesn't. A goddamn plot with characters you actually care about, for starters. I haven't seen one of those in this film so far...
@ralaq Good point: they're different genres. But the imagery is so similar that it's pretty clear where Lucas got his ideas. And I gotta say, SW's anti-science theme is jarring & annoying in whatever genre.
You're also right that 2001 doesn't emphasize the characters; it's about contact with alien intellingence & humanity's position on the universal scale of being. But one exception: HAL the psychotic computer is a VERY compelling character. By comparison R2D2 is pretty much a shop vac.
@3investigators I think he was hot too, and I'm a guy! Gary Lockwood was'nt a slouch either, especially in the previous scene with him on a sunbed in his underpants- I actually got wood looking at him.....hmmmmm.
Alright this movie is stupid, they give a computer full power over a ship and they're not sure if he has emotions. Why not just clone Hitler and make him Captain of the ship. Look humans as a whole aren't all that bright but if we ever make a conscious computer I'm pretty sure were not going to give it TOTAL control of a spaceship. Prob be something more like Data in Star Trek TNG.
@centurion180ad we havent yet developed a camera that can capture the brilliant white of the sun's reflected light as well as the faint glow of the stars against perfect black....not in the same image. the human eye cant do it. not even the eagle or the octopus. why should this movie be any different?.......maybe, in the distant future of 2001, we will have created a more advanced camera...more sensitive apertures and films. until then, deal with the fact that no such technology has ever existed
Lesson learned. A ship's surgeon would have to be aboard with equipment & training to revive all cryosleepers if the ship totally looses power, or any other forseeable disaster. Any autonomous computer system aboard would have to have a confirmed //mechanical// kill switch on every major bulkhead. Awake crewmen must never be taken out of the loop, and must have complete control.
@goombabear He's got that baby face look ...on purpose, I think. As he looks into the camera, you can see a hint of the Starchild looking at you in the final scene of the movie. But handsome? Keir Dullea, gone tomorrow. What's he got that I don't have? Well, maybe if you crushed on Alan Alda, you might think Keir Dullea also had the look.
@plmqas agreed. It seems the majority of today's generation is too dimwitted to grasp a phenomenal movie like this. That is why movies like Avatar and others with simple, preictable plots do so well at the box office. Sad really.......
@7150285 You mean the part where he goes through the emergency airlock without his helmet on? That is part 10 (on youtube) at about 5 minutes and 20 seconds in. Right after that he goes into Hal's memory center and disconnects him, which is in my opinion the best part in the film.
You have to read the book before you see this movie. I would say it's definitely supplemental. It is impossible to grasp everything happening in the movie, and why all these long pauses are so tense, if you don't have the background of the book. Kind of weird that Kubrick made it this way, but really fascinating.
I think it's fair to say that most people that dislike this film have too short of an attention span to really grasp how great of a film this is. Truly ahead of it's time! This was the film that sounded the death knell to westerns!
@centurion180ad Well, you see, my coffee machine is wired to my electric front door lock, and when it malfunctioned, it wouldn't let me into my house. "Open the front door, percolator," I said. "I'm sorry, goback3spaces," it said. "I can't do that."
For people who feel the film is too slow... Until these people go on a very long trip somewhere, they will not understand the sensation of time.
On one level the film is about the voyage and how time becomes meaningless... if the film doesn't explain it, best pack your bags and hit the road for a couple of years...
I find it funny that 70% percent of what's before this part could've just been removed. Since it doesn't really add much to the current story. It only makes sense in the book.
@kohuded I disagree, I think the scenes really added a sense of solitude and loneliness to the whole film. It's with this type of solitude that I think was just one of the contributing factors to having HAL going haywire, particularly because there's simply nothing to do. Sure he has control over the ship and the journey, but if HAL is really as great as everyone makes him out to be, surely that would be a factor for HAL in finding something to do, only to dig itself into a hole.
@shockraid1 thats strange, because I have a different version of this film, which I think is older than this one where you CAN see stars. Is this a remastered version or something?
You can't see stars in normal space because the sun is too bright. You can only see them when you're in the shadow of a planet, like nighttime on Earth.
Maybe I'm being too analytical, but why does HAL control everything? There's no manual controls to open the pod door? Heck the guy even needed HAL to move the couch thing he was lying on while watching the birthday video. If HAL has that level of control, why doesn't he just fix the dish problem with the pod by remote?
Also Dave's crazy, parks the pod so far away and just jumps out untethered! What if he missed?! Bye bye Dave!
Another astro-blooper alert: when the pod bay door opens & the pod comes out, you can see background stars moving relative to the ship. Stars are so distant, their relative position does not change no matter where you are in our solar system. So they couldn't appear to move, unless the ship were turning (it's not) ...and even then they wouldn't move like they are do this scene. I remember noticing that even as a kid. But I never hear anyone mention it. Somebody should, so here you go.
Given the context of its time, 1968, a year before man walks on the moon, about a decade before Star Wars (George Lucas was inspired by this movie, while this movie stood on its own, a trail blazer), this is a remarkable movie.
Especially impressive (besides the technical prowess, visual effects well ahead of their time and visionary ability to predict many techological revolutions to come) is the epic scope of the symbolism of this movie. I enjoy it more as I grow older and (hopefuly) wiser.
just to point out...45 minutes of Gary Lockwood breathing in ANY other film (say the Magic Sword) would be called 'filler'...in a Kubrick film...it's called...'art'! Where's Crow and Servo when we need 'em!!! ;P
question my logic if you will, but y exactly did the dude take a pod out into space, only to jump back towards the station to fix (or watever it is he's doing) the dish thing? Wouldn't it make more sense to just climb on the outside of it to make sure you don't, i dunno, float out into space for eternity? For people who invented AI nearly 9 years ago, they arent very bright lol
Good movie, but you could put on that clip from monty python and the holy grail - "GET ON WITH IT!!", pretty much everywhere in this movie. During that dragged out sequence with that one guy breathing, I looked it up on Youtube, and I gotta say, felt a little better after hearing that. :D
do human really belong in space, almost like fish out of water. hal sees the humans like ants, they need food, energy, water, and each other to feel good about themselves. but hal is a computer and does not need any one, so the humans are just like monkeys, trained to do there work. this movis rocks.
HAL isn't having a meltdown. David Bowman and Frank Poole are going to be assassinated in space-walks as part of the mission. Poole is shallow but Bowman's weapon is depth-he's the immortal twin- Pollux, son of Zeus. Mission control's 2 transmissions are integral to the plot and establish plausible denial. There was always the chance that the Gemini pilots (Grissom, White) would slay the black opp sham you all love as bright Apollo. Dave trusts his third eye, finds cosmic enlightenment.
If you want to see the movie, PLEASE buy it, this movie is the most worth anyone's time of any movie. I would buy every possible version with enough money. Anyway...
HOW DID THEY FILM THE SCENE AS 2:12? It's impossible. I can't figure it out. It's incredible. It must have taken some really fancy editing to make it work, and I can't figure out how Kubrick did it.
@Bassbait It was constructed of two separately rotating sections, with the camera mounted securely to the corridor end. With the hub end rotating, the actors could walk down the static corridor and then step onto the hub as the port came to a position at the bottom. When they stepped across onto the hub, it stopped and the corridor would rotate in the other direction. From the camera's POV the rotation seemed constant, but the actors seemed to be defying the law of gravity.
@InuTheWhite I could understand, but I don't think that's exact. The simple reason is because they had much more primitive technology. Steadicam wasn't even around then. So they would need technology that knows exactly when to stop the rotation without it looking like one is stopping or the other is starting. I mean, even if you're right, can it be safely said that Kubrick is the most genius director of all time? I mean, this is still hard by TODAY's standards, and this was 1968!
Note Dave's politician- being- interviewed- smile. BTW in Independance Day, in the little craft Smith and Goldblum use to board the mothership, there's homage to 2001. Anyone else notice it lol

@Itsooz Its all based around the monolith findings and the strangeness of them. They get some signal from one of Jupiters moons so they go and check it out. On board is Hal-9000..He wants the mission to go perfectly and soon believes that the humans on board may cause it to fail. So, he gets rid of them to save the mission..but fails. Bowman shuts down Hal and after that, goes and checks out the huge monolith(ironically the moons and Jupiter line up with this) and then..! Something wonderful..

@Itsooz This film is about our fist discovery of aliens. The aliens placed these monoliths in the Solar System. The exact purpose of these monoliths is unknown, but they seem to affect our evolution.

@Itsooz it's open to interpretation, but the book REALLY explains everything.
I haven't read the book, so my interpretation is that the theme is evolution, with the appearance of the monolith triggering it each time.

ralaq 1 year ago
@ralaq Well, the two astronauts are boring. That seems intentional: the way Frank watches his parents' enthusiastic & loving birthday greeting with such emotional numbness, and Dave seems to be the ultimate loner. That's one of the points of the movie: this is a "future" in which family and emotional ties are withering. The sequels get more into their characters, and you learn especially more about Heywood Floyd.
boriato 1 year ago
@boriato Plus, their distance from Earth only increases their isolation. In the book Clarke talks about this a lot.
@ralaq In my opinion, their dullness is what makes these characters work so well. They are realistic, and that's very, very important when the movie is really about humanity as a whole, and especially our role in the universe. I also like how you've posted a comment on seemingly all of these, lol. Well kudos for sitting through it anyways, I guess. 2001 is def not for everyone!

@raleighwhisp We who like 2001 do have to admit a couple of things: It's slow. Many back in the '60's and -70's thought so, too, not just the 21st century audience. Also, the boring characters do work well in a sense, but part of the reason for them is that Clarke was more a visionary than a character author. Few characters were compelling, especially back then. His Odyssey sequels were interesting in that he did go more into the characters. Those who like characters may like the sequels.

@lu4y4pants I like the movie, but I agree with you. And even when it first came out, there were critics who thought it was way too slow. Kinda like the Star Wars prequels, which try to wow you with special effects rather than getting on with the story. The effects here were amazing for their day, and are even great by today's standards, but they get tiresome. Only, what story there is here is way more interesting. The book, and Clarke's sequels, actually tell the story. Way better.

@kingeric77 Lucas ripped lots of images from this film. Front of Discovery, with only one pod bay door and minus the flight deck window... Instant Death Star. Moons of Jupiter scene in 2001 and opening scene of SW, Lucas got the moon phases wrong, but besides that, pretty similar. The list could go on. Only, Lucas HAD to throw in sound in space, and laser beams visible in a vacuum, and other jarring stupidities. There are mistakes in this film too, but Lucas almost TRIED to be dumb.
boriato 1 year ago
@boriato the difference is that star wars is a fantasy film and this is science fiction. Also, it has things this film doesn't. A goddamn plot with characters you actually care about, for starters. I haven't seen one of those in this film so far...
ralaq 1 year ago
@ralaq Good point: they're different genres. But the imagery is so similar that it's pretty clear where Lucas got his ideas. And I gotta say, SW's anti-science theme is jarring & annoying in whatever genre.
You're also right that 2001 doesn't emphasize the characters; it's about contact with alien intellingence & humanity's position on the universal scale of being. But one exception: HAL the psychotic computer is a VERY compelling character. By comparison R2D2 is pretty much a shop vac.

Alright this movie is stupid, they give a computer full power over a ship and they're not sure if he has emotions. Why not just clone Hitler and make him Captain of the ship. Look humans as a whole aren't all that bright but if we ever make a conscious computer I'm pretty sure were not going to give it TOTAL control of a spaceship. Prob be something more like Data in Star Trek TNG.
Good voice for HAL though.

Lesson learned. A ship's surgeon would have to be aboard with equipment & training to revive all cryosleepers if the ship totally looses power, or any other forseeable disaster. Any autonomous computer system aboard would have to have a confirmed //mechanical// kill switch on every major bulkhead. Awake crewmen must never be taken out of the loop, and must have complete control.

You have to read the book before you see this movie. I would say it's definitely supplemental. It is impossible to grasp everything happening in the movie, and why all these long pauses are so tense, if you don't have the background of the book. Kind of weird that Kubrick made it this way, but really fascinating.

For people who feel the film is too slow... Until these people go on a very long trip somewhere, they will not understand the sensation of time.
On one level the film is about the voyage and how time becomes meaningless... if the film doesn't explain it, best pack your bags and hit the road for a couple of years...

kohuded 1 year ago
@kohuded I disagree, I think the scenes really added a sense of solitude and loneliness to the whole film. It's with this type of solitude that I think was just one of the contributing factors to having HAL going haywire, particularly because there's simply nothing to do. Sure he has control over the ship and the journey, but if HAL is really as great as everyone makes him out to be, surely that would be a factor for HAL in finding something to do, only to dig itself into a hole.
Just my take.

Another astro-blooper alert: when the pod bay door opens & the pod comes out, you can see background stars moving relative to the ship. Stars are so distant, their relative position does not change no matter where you are in our solar system. So they couldn't appear to move, unless the ship were turning (it's not) ...and even then they wouldn't move like they are do this scene. I remember noticing that even as a kid. But I never hear anyone mention it. Somebody should, so here you go.

Given the context of its time, 1968, a year before man walks on the moon, about a decade before Star Wars (George Lucas was inspired by this movie, while this movie stood on its own, a trail blazer), this is a remarkable movie.
Especially impressive (besides the technical prowess, visual effects well ahead of their time and visionary ability to predict many techological revolutions to come) is the epic scope of the symbolism of this movie. I enjoy it more as I grow older and (hopefuly) wiser.

HAL isn't having a meltdown. David Bowman and Frank Poole are going to be assassinated in space-walks as part of the mission. Poole is shallow but Bowman's weapon is depth-he's the immortal twin- Pollux, son of Zeus. Mission control's 2 transmissions are integral to the plot and establish plausible denial. There was always the chance that the Gemini pilots (Grissom, White) would slay the black opp sham you all love as bright Apollo. Dave trusts his third eye, finds cosmic enlightenment.

@Bassbait It was constructed of two separately rotating sections, with the camera mounted securely to the corridor end. With the hub end rotating, the actors could walk down the static corridor and then step onto the hub as the port came to a position at the bottom. When they stepped across onto the hub, it stopped and the corridor would rotate in the other direction. From the camera's POV the rotation seemed constant, but the actors seemed to be defying the law of gravity.
InuTheWhite 1 year ago
@InuTheWhite I could understand, but I don't think that's exact. The simple reason is because they had much more primitive technology. Steadicam wasn't even around then. So they would need technology that knows exactly when to stop the rotation without it looking like one is stopping or the other is starting. I mean, even if you're right, can it be safely said that Kubrick is the most genius director of all time? I mean, this is still hard by TODAY's standards, and this was 1968!
