  • HAL is a metaphor for the egoistic mind. 2001 is about the evolution of man's consciousness. HAL's actually superior to Dave in computing power.HAL is aware,that his days are numbered, because the 'mission' will create the 'new man' the 'space child',who's connected to the universe's knowledge,he has replaced the intellectualized mind,with a mind that will do,what HAL can't, he will manifest and 'create' through the power of his mind.

  • You sir are wrong, in short the movie is about man and his tools.

  • My Brain sent me here.

  • You are all wrong, and yet you are right. Everyone is /supposed/ to have their own interpretation of the movie, Kubrick said so himself.

  • I always think of the purpose of the monolith as an agent that changes the perspective. Firstly, the apes looked up for the first time, and spotted the alignment of sun and the moon, which prompted them to start reflecting on their surroundings. Later, the same thing was reversed on the moon, showing the vulnerability of Earth in the dark space. Finally, the monolith helped Dave see himself from the outside and fully realize his mortality, which is the last frontier - 'beyond the infinite'...

  • To the top 2 comments: it's about both of those things, as well as alien "higher being" helping man evolve his being by influencing him at key points throughout evolution.

  • I agree with Azartusfar. A.C.Clarks's original story showed man's progression and evolution.Each evolution required an intervention from an outside source (god as the monolith). Man could not evolve without the Monolith.Man has become stagnant again in 2001. He needs a progression.The monolith reappears to help the transition. HAL is more human acting than the humans have become. HAL has been in contact with the monolith and is doing what the monolith wants.Hal is a tool here. A very human tool.

  • @fntime WTF, repeat in understandable English please, because it reads like gibberish right now.

  • In all these videos i have never seen anyone say " HAL LETTER BY LETTER IS ONE LETTER DIFFERENT FROM IBM, YOU KNOW THE COMPUTER COMPANY!" lol had to be done soz!

  • Haha. Great edit. I find it always more effective in movies when they swear only on occasion. Same goes for making it funny. This video made me laugh.

  • @fntime And I thought you was crazy....
