This is a short film analysis produced for an Intro to Film class at Georgia Tech. This non-profit review is for educational purposes with all copyrights allocated to their respective owners.
The monolith plays a persistent role during its 3 interactions with humanity. Kubrick's use of the camera implies the intelligent role of the monolith and guides us, the viewer, from observing mankind's evolution to participating in our own.

At 4.07 you wrongly say that the alignement is the sun and the moon. You shoud have sais the sun and the Earth as the second monolith is found on the moon.

It's probably needles to point out, but I'll do it anyway. They didn't see the Moon in Moon's sky, but Earth. This slight blunder aside, that was pretty good analysis
