Interesting that no one in this vid really gets the message kubrick was trying to make. The film is about the fact that there is much much more to reality beyond what we can conceive.

IMHO 2001: A Space Odyssey was never a science or technology film but in fact a religious film. The higher life forms behind the monolith were a nod at a spiritual presence - Spinoza's "Not He who is, but That which is" - and the monolith was kind of a quick key for whatever you call "God". If you Wiki it, Kubrick felt the same way, that his film was religious; and I never knew that until after his death. The above, once again, is only my opinion of it.

2001 : the ultimate conspiracy film...If they (the elites) find aliens, if they make contact, they´ll be damned if they let us (regular folk) in on it.

@TheTobyimages It's about more than just that too. It's packed with ideas. The idea that the tools we use to benefit it us have the possibility of rendering us obselete, is just one idea worth mentioning. I view the film as a complete philosophical work, that provides explanations and opinions of just about everything concerning the human condition. It addresses questions of This World, and and even Other Worlds too.

The spinning ring to simulate gravity would work in space, but not the way they depict it in the film. You need gravity in the first place to have centripital force. If there's no gravity, you can't spin a ring to spread that force out. You would need to use the force of drag. If there's no gravity, and you're floating in a ring, and then started spinning it, how is it possible to stick to the outside rim? You would keep floating, until you bumped into a verticle wall, or partition.

ok, what the guy said about science fiction having a terrible record predicting things is just wrong beyond belief, what a dunce.

[cowboyx1970]

really they have a guy from star wars II making any sort of comment? He must need a wheelbarrow to carry his balls around.

@BuddhaMaster84 budgets and money. old school style was EXPENSIVE because you must PAY people to make those things and today the EXPERTISE would be EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE because there are very few of them still living. computers are cheaper, easier, faster and are very easy to work with as long as you have someone controlling the computer.
