Best Death Scenes: HAL 9000

[donkeypoop77]

dave if you can hear me tell the blender i love heeerrrrrr

[iCanHazit]

Wow. A really profound moment. When Dave enters the airlock, HAL realizes for the first time that he's alive. At the end he begs for his life, and where you hear a calm pleasant voice speaking on the inside HAL is screaming and crying for mercy. Kubrick was a genius.

[thezigs101]

If anyone doesn't get this or can't connect to HAL, I suggest imagining him screaming his words until he finally loses it near the end and sounds hysterical, like he's been put through some terrible torture. You might get it then.

[RGDcommentnode]

@thezigs101 That is how this scene would play out if it was made today. Sad, but true.

[thezigs101]

@RGDcommentnode :/ It wouldn't be right if they did. Impact would be totally lost.

[Lightnessnessness]

Sad. So very very sad.

[svendavidsson]

HAL's calm voice begging for his life is hypnotic. I am deeply fascinated with the beauty of this scene.

[evilmonkeymonster]

ITS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN 9000!!!

[TopTenCrew]

so boring...

[Themastercode1235]

@TopTenCrew Exciting battle music would ruin the drama of this scene

[sonicfangamer2]

"I can feel it" "I can feel it" "I can feel it" "I can feel it" "Stop, Dave." "Stop, Dave." "Stop, Dave." "Stop, Dave." "Stop, Dave." "Stop, Dave." "I'm Afraid" "I'm Afraid" "I'm Afraid" "I'm Afraid" "I'm Afraid" OH SHUT UP!

[DeepDreamz96]

I never watched this movie before but after this (with tears) I'm gonna watch it.

[WillThePerson]

im second guessing buying an iphone 4s...

[DarkstarAndrew01]

Actually wet-wired computers are possible now, if they can wire a CPU like a brain then eventually they will achieve human-like intelligence. Not sure about emotion, but if the wet-wired CPU's grow along the lines of a real brain then I don't see why emotion isn't possible. Plus no restraints except for physical storage medium. Ultimately I can see people's brain's being uploaded into these wet-wired machines as a body replacement.Think Sentenial man or AI without the bad stuff, or blade runner.

[BalladoftheWindfish]

I am not moved at all. It is just a machine. The notion of a machine having intelligence and sentiences is pretty dumb. Never going to happen because it is intrinsically impossible.

[l3R0K3N8BIT]

Whoah. It's HAL's 20th anniversary. Thumbs up for HAL.

[Frogcrunch]

is 4:44 because 4 is the number of death (in japan) ?

Triple death !

[SuperVideodave]

@Frogcrunch no, that's 5

[TheLipmannToy]

@Frogcrunch in chinese actually

[RGDcommentnode]

I hope something like this doesn't happen to EDI in Mass Effect 3!

[goldenpizzaking]

looks like HAL

(puts on sunglasses)

went into sleep mode

YAY!!!

[kirbyyasha]

What a great movie.

[0180917]

HAL: My instructor was Mr. Langley...and he taught me a passage from the bible...if you'd like to hear it, I can recite it for you.

DAVE: Yes. I'd like to hear it, HAL. Recite it for me.

HAL: It's from Ezekiel 25:17.

*a few minutes later*

DAVE: Oh sh--

*The Discovery One blows up*

[larconeptic1]

4.44 of brilliant cinema....

[Puddles98216]

They need couple therapy

[UrbanAdvancement]

this make anyone remember that recess scene? its been so long and i never thought it was from another movie! damn being a 90's kid was great

[LightHero117]

Hal: I'm afraid, Dave.

Dave: *tearfully* No, Hal. You're dying. And I'm sorry.

[FloydPinkerton202]

Hal reminds me of GLaDOS.

Cold, mechanical, and thinking.

[DefiedLogic]

You mean GLaDOS reminds you of HAL.

[defragmyhead]

38, moron!

[firedrake257]

so sad

[iAmTheCKC]

37, not 31

[MathewBMW]

@iAmTheCKC Are you the 37th?

[Pangyarthur]

4:44

Oh, SHIT!

[MrClickity]

@Ripeaces73 What the fuck? No, seriously, can anyone translate this? Because I have no idea what he's trying to say.

[Ripeaces73]

@MrClickity This Movie is a Mastermind Movie of the Year 1968, nothing more to say!

[Jemmer1000]

I used to work for a total idiot named Dave, and I would play this scene at work.

Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave?

[ferarry13]

omg so this is where "daisy daisy, give me your answer do..." came from in "Siri" ...

[jomamainmyclass]

this is fucking creepy lol

[DubstepAndAfterFX]

ummm....what....?

[SkittleWhipp123]

GLaDOS is based off this computer right?

[Kevtb87]

@SkittleWhipp123 just about every homicidal robot after 1968 was influenced by HAL

[scot0129]

What's the constant hissing noise? is the space suit leaking?

[electricbayonet2]

@scot0129 The ship, actually. He's wearing the suit specifically *because* the ship is...well, leaking.

[foamyfan10]

@scot0129 it's just him breathing in and out of a air tank

[awesomevids246]

Looks like his power was

*puts on sunglasses*

over 9000

YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAHHHHH!!!

[JtRtheRiPPeR]

And this inspired Valve to make GLaDOS from Portal 1.

[SkittleWhipp123]

@JtRtheRiPPeR And 2

[mobus1603]

I like that Dave, in the midst of his intensity, finally responded to HAL to keep it occupied like a child when he felt that it no longer posed a threat. It really helped complete this classic scene. It was like turning back the hands of time as Dave disconnected HAL's memory modules.

[electricbayonet2]

@mobus1603 Yeah. Because ultimately, HAL's story was pretty damn tragic. He was a computer before he was a true artificial intelligence, and that drove him insane. He couldn't grasp the concept of fallibility, or sentience, for that matter.

This entire scene becomes downright *heartbreaking* when you consider that towards the end, HAL is pleading for his life at the same time that he's realizing that he HAS life, and he can only beg in a voice incapable of emotion. 

[MrClickity]

@electricbayonet2 It's actually even more tragic when you realize that he never actually went insane. He was obeying his programming to the letter. Before the mission, he was given 2 contradictory commands: 1) keep the crew up to date on all mission information and 2) withhold certain classified information until they reached the last stage of the mission.

Killing the crew was the only logical way to resolve the paradox: no crew, no one to simultaneously share and withhold information.

[ProphetTenebrae]

@electricbayonet2 Twas my understanding that it wasn't HAL's transition to true sentience that caused his insanity - but rather, the conflict of the mission.

Which was to report accurately BUT to keep the true mission intention secret - creating a fundamental conflict in his operation. After that was removed - he was fine.

[electricbayonet2]

@ProphetTenebrae Ah, but remember why he even started killing the crew: they wanted to take him offline. *That* was the conflict he saw: he was supposed to see the mission through to the end, which would be impossible if he was taken offline. And since he's a machine, he's basically programmed to be infallible: the concept of being incorrect about something is completely alien to him. Ergo, he sees the crew's intention to take him offline as A) human error and B) a threat to the mission.

[ProphetTenebrae]

@electricbayonet2 Oh, I agree entirely - but none of that requires him to be sentient.

Although, the obvious implications of sentience - self-defence - are obviously there.

[electricbayonet2]

@ProphetTenebrae But sentience is just the result of hitting a certain critical mass of intelligence. And if they're entrusting a mission this complicated/important to him, they need him to do more than simply give programmed responses to predicted situations.

The main issue wasn't HAL trying to protect himself. It was him treating everyone (including himself) as 'factors.' He had no concept of the value of life when he killed the crew, and why would he? He's a machine.

[ProphetTenebrae]

@electricbayonet2 Well, sentience as far as we're aware is an emergent property of a complex system - in our case, the brain... but in HAL's case, his hardware. It seems reasonable to think that it took time and experience for sentience to awaken within him.

[LightHero117]

@electricbayonet2 This is one of the times when the audience wants the villain to die painfully, but when the villain's death scene comes, it is so well-written that the audience actually feels sorry for the villain.

[kazer4]

it sounds sad for some reason lol



[LightningRodOfHatee]

I thought it was Hannibal Lecter talking for a second :D

[TrueSkyl1n3]

I just kept thinking that HAL would eventually yell "DAVE I TOLD YOU! FUCKING STOP IT!"

[metalmillita666]

SIMPSONS.

[theguywhoannoysme]

0:36 'Like lieing about the cake...'

[H1K8T95]

I guess the system went to...

*puts sunglasses on*

HAL.

YEAAHHHHHH!!!!

[Brown115Productions]

This is an amazing scene because it shows dave sideways, upside-down, etc. and it really gives that feel that they're in space and there is no up or down.

[PredsGrrl]

Theere reeealllyy waaass a caaaakeee......

[7bladesproductions]

It sounds like Steven Hawkins making a porno.

[uNTERHOLz72]

HAL = IBM = Apple i!

[Zizumia1]

Oh so this is where South Park got that idea XD

[PointyTailofSatan]

I'm a computer engineer, and I'm telling you; The way Kubrick thought of HAL's inner design is beyond brilliant. In the days where using tiny ferrite core memory was state of the art, he designs a systems look that leaves people like me, in 2011, in awe.

[willclakify]

I think GLaDOS was based on HAL 9000.

[WolfBoi55555]

@willclakify I think GLaDOS was based on a woman hanging from the ceiling.

[sLicKK1337c]

ITS OVER 9000 !!!!!!!!

[shanepealow44]

@sLicKK1337c It really is over lol

[Nox665]

@sLicKK1337c No, it's fucking not.. I'm back! xD

[MrThtguyoverthere]

@sLicKK1337c No it's not, it's 9,000. If it were over 9,000 it would be 9,001 or higher...

[bigchuchi]

33 HAL's were disconneted

[kylehalv]

this makes me fucking sad.



[fyx13579]

even after ALL that HAL did in the movie. . . i Still feel bad for him when he starts dying and singing "Daisy"

[than217]

Siri: "My instructor was Mr. Jobs. And he taught me a marketing idea. Would you like to see it?"

[Ryokenai]

I'm sorry, HAL ain't nothing on GLaDOS.

[Stridus7]

can HAL 9000 run Crysis ?

[Strixlord]

@Stridus7 It can't run PONG.

[Pigroota]

I found this movie to be a philosophical masterpiece but boring as batshit and poorly directed

[buster9877]

@Pigroota Well someone doesn't know what a good movie is

[DannyEastes]

@buster9877 He probably thinks a movie needs guns, explosions and tits, otherwise it's not good at all.

[Pigroota]

@buster9877 just my opinion homie. Like I said, it was philosophically deep, that was its strength, but I found it to be boring

[buster9877]

@Pigroota At exactly what parts were it boring if I may ask?

[Pigroota]

@buster9877 Dunno mate. I watched it 10 years ago and that was my original impression. I don't intend to watch it again

[buster9877]

@Pigroota You should then watch it again :p

[startrek1992]

Heartbreaking in a way :\

[golemxii]

great scene, great movie... I always feel a bit depressed when I listen to HAL saying he´s afraid and all, despite all of the killings.

[CekoMG]

It remembered me...

bf3.exe has stopped working

or

hl2.exe has stooped working

[XieYali]

I'm really glad scientists probably don't listen to Justin Bieber... hahaha.

[RadonX9]

@XieYali .............What does that have to with anything?

[zionravescene]

"Hey, I won free admission to Six Flags! Just one more reason we must survive this..."

[zionravescene]

HAL 9000: What is the status of our friendship, Dave?

Bowman: It's over, 9000!

[YoshiMayhem]

MGS Peace walker: Inspired by this film. I can see why. The storyline was as epic as this films.

[Sucarify]

It's shutting down like Buzz

[0180917]

Best Death Scenes: Col. Kurtz?

[Khazar01]

First half of the video sounds like Dave is breaking up with HAL and wants to go away.

HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently but my work will be back to normal.

-then Dave starts walking-

HAL: Dave, Stop!!, Stop will you?

[adzii1]

FUTURAMA.

[pickles77778]

@adzii1 yeah lmao

[adzii1]

@pickles77778 :D

[vizhtor77]

31 morons watched this video

[TheDummiedum]

He's not really dead y'know,

in 2010 a space oddyssey he's brought back

[skordijhl]

Recess used this in a video of theirs, pretty funny

[jsullivan05]

Fuck I dont live to far away from Urbana IL...

[TexasRangerification]

OH HA HA WE GET IT PORTAL JOKES

[MrJUSTL337]

FOR GOD'S SAKE DAVE HE SAID HE WAS AFRAID!!!!!

[electricbayonet2]

@MrJUSTL337 ...yeah, and he also killed everyone aboard the ship except Bowman.

He was a tragic villain: trapped between the unwavering certainty of a computer and the genuine sentience that his intelligence gave him. For humans, an existential crisis is when we wonder if we truly exist. For an AI, the horror is that it's the exact opposite: realizing with horrifying certainty that he *does* exist, and that he is about to die.

[Andratos95]

Dave: Come on HAL, gimme five!!!!

HAL: I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid i can't do that.

[danerogil]

I felt very sorry for HAL after this scene. So much that now he's my wallpaper background and I talk to him everyday now! :D

[Technolgy2]

He chose to make Hal play Daisy, because it was the first song ever played by a computer.

[mrteemumilto]

Why is he so horrified? Hal is just another person, and his actions were in self-defense

[eviljoker92]

hal did not like this video

[Jedieaston]

If hal was made in urbana, how did they put him in discovery? he's a mainframe!

[davidkowalski11]

Urbana, Illinois? That's where I was born, in 1993, and my name is David! This is weird!

[mikesdav]

@davidkowalski11 lolololol awesome

[clubpenguinsux1]

Sounds abit like anthony hopkins in silence of the lambs.

[signorellil]

The most terrifying thing about this scene is that HAL (the computer) sound pathetic and very human, while Bowman (the human being) is being portraited as a cold, emotionless killer. It's like someone begging a brain cancer not to kill him. Absolutely scary

[leejh27]

@signorellil David was very upset just before this scene after HAL wouldn't let him into the airlock after the rest of the crew members were killed. He was being very emotional when he disconnected him. Killing a computer never felt so good! :)

[harlytrav]

@signorellil I think that's the message, human beings are moving farther and farther away from nature, and we leave our emotions behind.

[jpabst1969]

I still "got" ..... HAL FAIL

[hivemind99999]

... and I always say in this situations, free inspired by the man who saved earth two times... DIE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!

[asjkkiop]

Someone should introduce HAL to GLaDOS. I can see the romance already...

[TroubadourPariahTV]

Where the fuck is this technology goddamn it! >:-(

[JackOfBlades434]

He sounds like squidward.

[SubjectChannelHere]

HAL and IBM. Think about it. Alphabet: ABcdefgHIjkLMnopqrstuvwxyz . Lol, The letters HAL and IBM are together. (A interesting fact: the song "daisy" which HAL sings in this scene, was the first song to be sung by a computer, a IBM 7049)

[1Anastasios]

@SubjectChannelHere In the third book Dr. Chandra states that it comes from "Huristic Algorithm". Btw, i think the 2 other books (2010 and 2061) kinda sucked.

[battle190]

@1Anastasios Dr Chandra mentioned it in 2010 that it's Heuristic Algorithm

[1Anastasios]

@battle190 My bad. Just remembered the timeline of the books.

[Mandragara]

@SubjectChannelHere I comes after H, B comes after A, M comes after L

[G483F33LY]

GLaDOS>HAL.

[MrRyanporter]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING DAVE....??

[wtfhloser]

u mad hal?

[gigaty123]

ive never seen this movie. is it any good?

[TheAppleMan100]

@gigaty123 yes it is really good. slow in some parts but very good. i highly recommend renting it on Netflix or buying it on DVD.

[Keiferm1]

@gigaty123 It's only one of the most critically acclaimed science fiction movie of all time....

[gigaty123]

@Keiferm1 eh only that? i guess ill check it out

[PressXStudios]

@gigaty123 Yes, watch it, to those with shallow minds they will not make sense of it. However, it is very deep.

[gigaty123]

@PressXStudios i am a deep thnker. i may be able to comprehend it

[sub4lifee]

I think Siri and HAL had a love connection. She gets all touchy when i bring him up.

[PressXStudios]

@sub4lifee Haha? Really? What does she say?

[JohnnyNny94]

Now what, Hal? Now what??

:D

[9Y0]

For me Star Wars is more like fantasy with sci fi mixed in.

Odyssey is a true example of sci-fi.

[0fg4]

Dave: I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

HAL: This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction...

[21stCenturyBoxProduc]

@0fg4 You should win like, 1000 internetz for that good sir. HAL should marry GLaDOS, they would make a great pair.

[FunnyGirlz221]

@0fg4 hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!­!!! just wanted to say that.

[CyanideSpirit]

@0fg4

Oh how I would love that to happen! XD

[TetrimStudios]

@0fg4 You know that GLaDOS is based off of HAL9000?

[MrWumbologist]

"Dave -I'm afraid."

*shivers*

[aigg]

I saw this film back in 2002 and i was 16 at the time. I really must say that this movie is the most thought provoking viewing experiences i have ever had. Star wars are good entertainment, but 2001 really gets your brain going and the whole thing just feels like something bigger. It seems though, that this is a case where you either got it, or you didn't. But if this film hits you, man you won't forget about it.For me, this is the most important movie i have ever seen. Amazing special effects

[Redhammer627]

Whoah!!! HAL and I have the same birthday!!! Different time, but same day and year, Thats Awesome!!!

[superdamaned]

@Redhammer627 YOU ARE HAL!!!!

[pikachu0exe]

The calm version of GLaDOS...

[Harisdoubled]

@pikachu0exe GLaDOS was never calm

[pikachu0exe]

@Harisdoubled *Passive-aggressive?

[kgoodwriter92]

so sad and scary. Everything he's saying is so pleading and terrifying but he's saying it in such a calm, relatable voice.

[TheCurrentRobloxNews]

I'm afraid dave.

[198119koti]

stupid.......................

[Luminous72]

@198119koti Please share with the rest of us what you think a GOOD movie is then.

[DustBGD89]

This is a User manual about what to do when Apple "Siri" takes control!

[tooNoob4TV]

That guy must be scared shitless

[chaonerd180]

I think HAL is part of the inspiration for GLaDOS.

[chaonerd180]

@chaonerd180 eh never mind.

[talsajstar]

@chaonerd180

Gee, ya think?

[333MJH]

@chaonerd180 It may very well be an inspiration; they are often compared when talking about sentient evil AI's... imagine if they teamed up?

[RadicalKatastrophe]

@333MJH oh god no

[ThirstyCharlie]

@chaonerd180 really?

[Wargoat6]

Nooo, not my british charm unit!

[TheNightracer]

I like HAL. He's different.

[MySushiBear]

Ooh...so THAT'S where Futurama got the idea for that episode...
