@RGDcommentnode :/ It wouldn't be right if they did. Impact would be totally lost.
-
@thezigs101 That is how this scene would play out if it was made today. Sad, but true.
-
Wow. A really profound moment. When Dave enters the airlock, HAL realizes for the first time that he's alive. At the end he begs for his life, and where you hear a calm pleasant voice speaking on the inside HAL is screaming and crying for mercy. Kubrick was a genius.

If anyone doesn't get this or can't connect to HAL, I suggest imagining him screaming his words until he finally loses it near the end and sounds hysterical, like he's been put through some terrible torture. You might get it then.

Sad. So very very sad.

@TopTenCrew Exciting battle music would ruin the drama of this scene
-
HAL's calm voice begging for his life is hypnotic. I am deeply fascinated with the beauty of this scene.

@sLicKK1337c No it's not, it's 9,000. If it were over 9,000 it would be 9,001 or higher...

@electricbayonet2 This is one of the times when the audience wants the villain to die painfully, but when the villain's death scene comes, it is so well-written that the audience actually feels sorry for the villain.

@mobus1603 Yeah. Because ultimately, HAL's story was pretty damn tragic. He was a computer before he was a true artificial intelligence, and that drove him insane. He couldn't grasp the concept of fallibility, or sentience, for that matter.
This entire scene becomes downright *heartbreaking* when you consider that towards the end, HAL is pleading for his life at the same time that he's realizing that he HAS life, and he can only beg in a voice incapable of emotion.
