I think that explains the lack of character development;we're watching almost two different movies. Also, there was to have been a narration to explain much of the back story, but that was dropped because Kubrick wanted a sense of mystery. Still A++ to me

this is the only movie i can think of where an HOUR in we have not even been introduced to a single real protagonist. Or nay interesting character of any kind for that matter. It gets better, I assume?
@ralaq If you don't like it this far, then you probably won't at all. If you want a typical or stereotypical plot and film then this movie isn't for you. It breaks the mold, like all great art does.
Plus its much, much easier to understand if you read the book.
I see quite stereotypical characters and ideas. I don't know what the hell you're talking about when it comes to breaking the mold. Some of the scenes and props in this movie are downright retarded and it's still quite apparent I'm watching a movie from the 60s, rather than something timeless and brilliant in it's scope. I do believe it's better if you've read the book but don't pretend he isn't recognizing great art or brilliance. Full Metal Jacket was also really overrated.
@Grungadin In it's time, this movie broke the mold. The reason you see stereotypical characters, and ideas is because this set the mold, and other movies took notes from this.
Amazing movie. Effects still hold up wonderfully. In fact most fancy digital effects today to me simply look like - fancy digital effects by comparison. Interesting that 1953's "Invador's From Mars" utilized a similar vocal score.
Anyone else that has observed that the Earth is repeatedly illuminated fom the left side and the right side during the lunar landing and moonbus scenes?
Monolith, actually. If someone does NOT want the spoiler of something that's now basically part of pop-culture, stop reading right now.
...
The Monoliths are practically invincible machines created by a unknown alien civilization quantum leaps beyond anything humanity can currently remotely comprehend, who desire, literally above ALL else, to cultivate sentience throughout the cosmos, and raise species that achieve it to continually higher planes of existence.

The music heard during the Discovery establishing shots is the Adagio from the Gayane Ballet Suite by Aram Khatchaturian. It was quoted by film composer James Horner in 'Aliens', 'Patriot Games', and 'Clear And Present Danger' almost exclusively because of its usage in this film.
@funkyflea89 My feeling is because Man has seen (at this point in the film's "real time") things that are way more intriguing and unusual than the Monolith. (Think about sky scrapers, they're a dime a dozen to us- but for a child to see the empire state building for the first time! Whoa!).
I've been reading the book for university, having to watch the film now because I couldn't find my DVD copy. I was trying to imagine/remember what Discovery looked like: aaaaaaaaaaah. Ok. Got it.
Kubrick had a 30-ton rotating "ferris wheel" built which was 38 feet in diameter and 10 feet wide. Various scenes in the Discovery centrifuge were shot by securing set pieces within the wheel, then rotating it while the actor walked or ran in sync with its motion, keeping him at the bottom of the wheel as it turned.
@ashtonmadhatter CFR scumbag traitors are done with us, so there is no need to brainwash us anymore with their Sci-Fi about where the mass murdering Debt Syndicate sprogs will be going in the future.
Frank running around the Discovery is so much like Danny riding his bigwheel around the Overlook. They're both going in circles, trapped in buildings that turn out to be conscious and hostile. Frank runs past hibernating astronauts about to be murdered, and Danny rides into axe murdered twins! They're both isolated and practically helpless. Frank, like Danny, is also the first to suspect danger. Truly, this is as much a horror film as The Shining!
I still don't get, though, how the Earth could be on the lunar horizon at 4:10, and it could be lunar dawn, and then at 7:10, the Earth and Sun are directly overhead! Since the Moon is tidally locked with Earth, the Earth's position in the sky should never change at all ...and dawn to noon on the Moon takes a whole week, not a few minutes! Is Kubrick just messing with our heads here, like the impossible maze in the Shining?
There's so many holes in the original story that I wouldn't even know where to start! :) Arthur C Clarke may be a scientist and a fine writer, but he's ignorant of many other things like economics, politics, and sheer common sense. In this case, digging a gigantic hole in the ground is a sure give away that the Americans are up to something - precisely the opposite of what the intent was, I'm sure!
@ogukuo72 The digging was done before the Monolith was discovered; all they knew then was that there was a magnetic anomaly. Concern for secrecy hadn't been a concern then. It was only after they realized they had the product of an ancient alien intelligence that the Americans tried to keep a lid on their discovery. I don't see evidence of Clarke's ignorance about sheer common sense. He was ignorant about the nature of the Moon, but remember, this was in pre-Apollo days.
@shockraid1 actually, the books were being written at the same time the movie was being made. The author and the producer actually worked together to give eachother ideas.
@linkomega123 i agree. it's like one long drawn-out sentence by some distant relative you were never interested in sitting next to in the first place. and the whole scene only livens up when the rebellious punk cousin (aka HAL) turns up.
I believe that that might be the alchemical symbol for 'mercury', symbolizing the evolution from man to 'super-man'. Salt, sulfur, mercury are the three 'chemicals' on the male line of the Pythagorean triangle of evolution.
Well the monolith is sending a radio signal towards Jupiter. That signal is been picked by the radio’s of the science team, who are inside their helmets
What's odd is that when the monkey's were in need of water, the monolith provided knowledge. But when the astronauts arrive in all their abundance and technological superiority, the monolith kills them.
It almost seems to be punishing them for their sins - of indifference, and apparently pride since the exact moment is when they decide to take the picture.
why do they keep showing the sun moving over the top of the monolith? illuminati symbolism? and why did they jump to the jupiter mission so suddenly? what was that noise that hurt the astronauts' ears?
The book explains this. The monolith is buried so no sunlight can hit it. The sunlight first hits the monolith when the astronauts arrive, thus triggering a reactivation of the monolith. The sound is a signal sent out by the monolith alerting its creators that the humans have "evolved" technologically enough to have reached the Moon. This is a milestone in our evolution. The signal goes to Jupiter, so we send a mission there to discover why. There, they discover another monolith...
@wavepsychic No offense, but no wonder you don't enjoy this movie.
"It seems to have not been subject to other forces, like erosion. It seems to have been deliberately buried." This quote, from this portion of the movie, shows that the block was left by someone or something for humanity to find.
The block is a symbol. It is found at every leap in human evolution. So far, it has been found at the discovery of the tool (the bones the monkeys used) and on the moon (man's first space voyage).
@wavepsychic You're correct, the moon has no atmosphere, so it is not subject to the same type of erosion as Earth. However, you are wrong because the surface of the moon can and does change. Everything in space is subject to erosion, with or without an atmosphere. This is because of tiny particles flying at great speeds in all directions. So the moon does experience erosion, just not the type Earth does.
Even if the moon had no erosion, it wouldn't void this entire movie.
@oldpreach I take it you don't believe in evolution? If not, why are you watching this? There are plenty of movies out there to suit your intellectual depth.
@TheBestInterest Good one, troll boy. I guess you think those that see the phony religion of evolution for what it really is, junk science based on wanting to make a name for oneself, are just lower than you. Think again. I know lots of folks with much knowledge of physics and astronomy that have actually looked deep enough into it to shake off the pride of not wanting to be wrong. Maybe someday, when you 'evolve' enough, you can too ! I suppose having a high IQ is just not good enough for you.
@darkprose Ah, another lonely troll rises up out of the pond long enough to spit aside the drool and form a word or two. Did it ever occur to you that there are plenty of decent minded and smart folks that actually believe in and know God for themselves ? Oh, I know....you think you are somehow better or smarter than I am...sry, I forgot that you think that way. Forgive me for not knowing better !
Wait, wait, wait -- who's the troll here? Who is baiting people with creationist comments about 2001: A Space Odyssey, precisely? I just gave you like for like -- you, my creationist friend, are the troll. .
A couple more curiosities in this scene: the hills on the lunar landscape look like they've been eroded by water. Seems crazy, but in Clarke's "The Sentinel" he had commented on oceans in the distant lunar past (and even fossilized sea life there!).
Also, I wonder what the monolith is stuck into at the bottom of that pit. Surely, the researchers would want to dig it up completely, to study all sides of it. But they left the bottom stuck in the ground. What's the deal?
the movie industry should definitely go back to the 60's and 70's when movie directors required true ingenuity to make convincing special effects, unlike today where computer graphics is a solution to everything.
Blooper alert: Earth is first shown near the lunar horizon, and it's supposed to be just before dawn. Then, when the monolith emits its signal, both Earth and sun are directly overhead. We went from dawn to high noon - a week on the moon - in a few minutes! And since the moon is tidally locked with Earth, Earth's position in the sky shouldn't change at all, but it did in this scene. What's the deal? I would have thought that Clarke for sure would have caught that astronomical blooper.
@neil73 Imagine you've made a top secret discovery on the moon, and it scares the pants off the authorities, and you're isolated from almost all the rest of humanity, and Floyd show up demanding security oaths and whatnot. You're pretty much running on caffeine after a few days. I'd make good use of an espresso bar at that point!
@thelongwayhome I laughed my ass off when I heard that line to. its like they discovered the most important item in human history...and they want coffee...
it must be some sort super technology that infulences your brain to think smarter and more intelligent and what not. It's basically an "Artificial Evolution Stimulator" In the movie it made human evolution possible.
I still wonder if they're hearing what we as an audience hear. The voices are supposed to be coming from the monolith so it would only make sense. I mean we know they hear the loud buzzing noise but maybe that's all they get from it?
The prop designers should have used something like pancake syrup or motor oil to simulate coffee in 1/6 earth gravity, just so we could watch it pour. Oh, well.
That's one small jog for (a) man, one giant hamster wheel for mankind. Quite a mind-bending gift for a six year old back in 73' when I saw it- still learning, Stanley, still discovering.
@realguitarshredder thank you, people that like this film seem to find everysingle thing thats good about it but forget 100% of everthing thats retarded
Thank you for posting this film. It certainly remains to be one of the most interesting films of its kind; a great film. Talk about being ahead of its times, since Stanley Kubrick was one of the most innovative of directors, and the soundtrack! Even to this day, it's still worth watching...
Interestingly, the crater (and the base) are named after Christopher Clavius (1538–1612), a German mathematician and astronomer. His Latinized surname is related to the word for key ('clavis'). In the context of the storyline and the importance of the discovery made at that base, therefore, it's a great choice of name.

The book explains this. The monolith is buried so no sunlight can hit it. The sunlight first hits the monolith when the astronauts arrive, thus triggering a reactivation of the monolith. The sound is a signal sent out by the monolith alerting its creators that the humans have "evolved" technologically enough to have reached the Moon. This is a milestone in our evolution. The signal goes to Jupiter, so we send a mission there to discover why. There, they discover another monolith...

@wavepsychic No offense, but no wonder you don't enjoy this movie.
"It seems to have not been subject to other forces, like erosion. It seems to have been deliberately buried." This quote, from this portion of the movie, shows that the block was left by someone or something for humanity to find.
The block is a symbol. It is found at every leap in human evolution. So far, it has been found at the discovery of the tool (the bones the monkeys used) and on the moon (man's first space voyage).

@TheBestInterest There is no erosion on the moon. This movie is lame.
wavepsychic 1 year ago
@wavepsychic You're correct, the moon has no atmosphere, so it is not subject to the same type of erosion as Earth. However, you are wrong because the surface of the moon can and does change. Everything in space is subject to erosion, with or without an atmosphere. This is because of tiny particles flying at great speeds in all directions. So the moon does experience erosion, just not the type Earth does.
Even if the moon had no erosion, it wouldn't void this entire movie.

@TheBestInterest Good one, troll boy. I guess you think those that see the phony religion of evolution for what it really is, junk science based on wanting to make a name for oneself, are just lower than you. Think again. I know lots of folks with much knowledge of physics and astronomy that have actually looked deep enough into it to shake off the pride of not wanting to be wrong. Maybe someday, when you 'evolve' enough, you can too ! I suppose having a high IQ is just not good enough for you.

A couple more curiosities in this scene: the hills on the lunar landscape look like they've been eroded by water. Seems crazy, but in Clarke's "The Sentinel" he had commented on oceans in the distant lunar past (and even fossilized sea life there!).
Also, I wonder what the monolith is stuck into at the bottom of that pit. Surely, the researchers would want to dig it up completely, to study all sides of it. But they left the bottom stuck in the ground. What's the deal?

Blooper alert: Earth is first shown near the lunar horizon, and it's supposed to be just before dawn. Then, when the monolith emits its signal, both Earth and sun are directly overhead. We went from dawn to high noon - a week on the moon - in a few minutes! And since the moon is tidally locked with Earth, Earth's position in the sky shouldn't change at all, but it did in this scene. What's the deal? I would have thought that Clarke for sure would have caught that astronomical blooper.

@neil73 Imagine you've made a top secret discovery on the moon, and it scares the pants off the authorities, and you're isolated from almost all the rest of humanity, and Floyd show up demanding security oaths and whatnot.

it must be some sort super technology that infulences your brain to think smarter and more intelligent and what not. It's basically an "Artificial Evolution Stimulator" In the movie it made human evolution possible.

I still wonder if they're hearing what we as an audience hear. The voices are supposed to be coming from the monolith so it would only make sense. I mean we know they hear the loud buzzing noise but maybe that's all they get from it?

The prop designers should have used something like pancake syrup or motor oil to simulate coffee in 1/6 earth gravity, just so we could watch it pour. Oh, well.

roloug95 1 year ago
Interestingly, the crater (and the base) are named after Christopher Clavius (1538–1612), a German mathematician and astronomer. His Latinized surname is related to the word for key ('clavis'). In the context of the storyline and the importance of the discovery made at that base, therefore, it's a great choice of name.
