2001 A Space Odyssey - Space Sequences Tribute Part 3of4

And here the "Mother" (well the real mother is probably "Metropolis") of all Science Fiction Movie Special Visual Effects: Stanley Kubricks "2001 - A Space Odysee" from 1968. All seen here is of course handmade. All photographic effects, no CGI. And all SFX Scenes from the Movie are cut toghether in full length and in chronological order.

The Music in PART2of4 at 1:20 and 6:42 is right out of the Movie. Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio) Aram Khachaturian. You should find it on the Originial Movie Soundtrack. It was also used "extracted" in the ALIENS Movie!

The "Changing Dimensions" Music 5:23 : QUOTE WIKI: "Atmosphères (1961 - by György Ligeti) is written for large orchestra and is not musically related to the earlier electronic piece of the same name, although some of its aesthetic intentions are similar. It is seen[who?] as a key piece in Ligeti's output, laying out many of the concerns he would explore through the 1960s. Out of the four elements of music — melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre — the piece almost completely abandons the first three, concentrating on the texture of the sound, a technique known as sound mass. It opens with what must be one of the largest cluster chords ever written — every note in the chromatic scale over a range of five octaves is played at once. Out of the fifty-six string players ushering in the first chord, no two play the same note. The piece seems to grow out of this initial massive, but very quiet, chord, with the textures always changing. For this compositional technique not only used in the aforementioned work, Atmosphères, but also in Apparitions and his other works of the time, Ligeti coined the term "micropolyphony".[citation needed]

The Requiem for soprano, mezzo-soprano, five-voice chorus, and orchestra is a four-movement work in the same totally-chromatic style as Atmosphères (a portion of this work too received wide currency in the scene on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the scene of the proto-humans approaching the monolith). The first movement of Requiem, the "Introitus", has a thin texture, but the "Kyrie/Christe" is a stunning, brilliant evocation of searing appeal.[citation needed] It is a massive (twenty-part choral) quasi-fugue where the counterpoint is re-thought in terms of the material, consisting of melismatic masses interpenetrating and alternating with complex skipping parts. It was a part of this movement that accompanied the enigmatic monolith scenes in Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey. The last instance quoted in the movie (at Jupiter: Beyond the Infinite), this movement (interrupted by a loud radio-tone screech from the monolith) segues to the opening of Atmosphères. The penultimate movement, "de Die Judicii Sequentia" (Day of Judgement Sequence) is a colossal montage of contrasts: fff loud versus ppp soft, masses of sound versus soloists, etc. In the final movement, "Lacrimosa" (weeping), the chorus is muted, and only a reduced orchestra accompanies the plangent singing of the soloists.

Because it's more than 36 Minutes of FX, including the "changing Dimensions" FX, i had to split in into 4 parts. And don't adjust your volume when there's nothing to hear. It's meant that way ;)

Quote Stanley Kubrick (source:Wikipedia): "I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does; to „explain" a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation. You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film -- and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level -- but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point."

Frank Poole lives!!

[MetalApe]

Quote Wiki: "Poole and Bowman discuss disconnecting HAL 9000, the ship's computer, after it mistakenly predicts that the AE-35 unit (an electronic unit in the ship's main antenna) has failed. They realize that HAL is capable of error, and privately discuss disconnecting him. They believe themselves to be out of HAL's hearing range, but the computer, which can read lips, learns of their plan and resolves to get rid of the threat.

[MetalApe]

Poole begins replacing the AE-35 unit. In an act resembling the human response of survival, HAL rams Poole with one of the ship's pods, severing his oxygen hose and killing him.

HAL then refuses to let Bowman return to the ship after his successfully intercepting and recovering Poole's body and spacesuit.

[MetalApe]

In the novel 3001: Poole's body is discovered after drifting in space for a millennium. Given Poole's exposure to vacuum (he was flash-frozen so his body was fully intact after 1,000 years), the advanced medical technology of the time is able to revive him Poole is brought back to life.

Poole must then contend with the trio of Monoliths that hold sway over our solar system, and what Bowman has become. He also marries a woman named Indra Wallace and has two children, Dawn and Martin.

i wish 2010 was a quarter as good as 2001.

kubrick was really a brilliant film maker.

[pipecub83]

This movie is over 40 years old, amazing. April 2, 1968

[pacific707]

Hey Frank. I think Kubrick still had those original 19 minutes that he cut from the "premiere" of the film, somewhere, in his archives. However, you, nor I are likely to see those cuts. They were extraneous, they really weren't needed and it's up to Christianne Kubrick to decide whether or not she ever wants to release those cuts. All in all, it doesn't make much of a difference that these cuts are gone from the film. There was nothing "lost" in them, as far as making the film any better.

[FrankSpijker]

@pacific707 Didn't Kubrick destroy all the material that didn't made the first screening?

[pacific707]

@laSensacion1023 The scenes of Poole going out to put the AE-35 Unit back into place before he was murdered by HAL was cut after Kubrick screened the film for the first time in England. Kubrick cut out approximately 19 minutes of footage while enroute to New York on the Queen Mary, in a specially constructed suite on board the ship with an editing machine. There are approximately 4 sections that he cut. Email me if you want to know what else he cut after the first screening.

[pacific707]

@pacific707 Especially for those that haven't seen the film....

[pacific707]

Whoa! Wait a minute....I can appreciate the sewing together of these fantastic scenes but the audio isn't matched at all with what was going on in the film. It's a bit disorienting.

[invanorm]

Poor HAL... "I can feel it"... "I can feel it"...

The stuggle with consciousness is beautiful.

[spacecowboy5000]

Don't cry. Arthur C. Clarke had him "defrosted" in "3001".

[kittypie070]

Poor Mr Poole, these scenes always made me cry in misery :(
