Haunting scene. Kubrick's realism in acting even in a sci fi, the immediate drama, no air, struggling to breath, the silence of space. The power of gestures in acting. Brilliance in direction and a great film.

@TieLandProductions Thats the point. The irony is that HAL is the only one in the film that has an emotion. I think it has something to do with the topic of the film, the evolution of man. As we evolve we move further and further away from human, thus human things like emotion are absent

@ArcticWeaselStomper First of all, you'd flail around like a moron if you were tumbling through space with absolutely no way to stop.You see, people do something called "panicking" in dangerous situations. Secondly, he didn't lose all of his oxygen at once. It would take a few minutes for all the air in his suit to blow out of a small tube. Also you don't need oxygen to move your body. Watch a video of a dead snake or something moving around.

Fucked up scene.

@AlfredsVisions The "power of gestures in acting"? Wow, you really are a wanker. He's flailing about like a moron, any idiot could have done what you deem as "brilliance." If a director told you that you had lost all oxygen supply and you were in outer space, how would you move your body?  The real "power of gestures" lies in the subtle movements of actors in much more stationary and emotional scenes than this.

It's more likely you'll meet Frank before you land amongst the stars.

HAL: the ultimate Kubrick starer.

You just gotta love the title

[TheYuuzhan]

Before Tron, Avatar, District 9, Halo, The Matrix, Independence Day, Ghost in the Shell, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Terminator, Blade Runner, E.T., Alien, Battlestar Galactica, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Wars,............there was 2001: A Space Odyssey. PERIOD!

@Huddiethegreat And thats exactly what happens in the book. We loose all emotion, then body parts then the body itself untill we evolve to a kind of sprit if you will. An essance of light that has power over all the universe and its planets (which to them is only a starting point of life, not life itself) , untill it figures out a way to expand it reaches even futher and futher and further. Forever.
