2001 A Space Odyssey is a movie directed by one of the most talented directors of a time Stanley Kubrick. The movie was also written by one of the most famous sci fi writers of time Arthur C. Clark with his co-writer Stanley Kubrick. The movie was released in 1968 and was consider to be so visionary at that time for the special effects. The movie is mostly silent with limited talking and that’s what makes this movie so great with scene of before man with the monkeys. Also in space with the only sound you hear is breathing. But that’s just the half of it, there are so many great things Kubrick did to this movie.
Chapters of the movie
(Contains spoilers)
Chapter 1: The Dawn of Man
This part of the film has no dialogue, all the characters are prime apes. The movie starts out with scenes of the desert and show apes in colonies trying to live. A group of apes having a hard time and trying to protect themselves from predators such as a leopard who attacks a Ape as the others try to escape of the terror in hopes not to get attacked. The leopard only gets one and kills it, all the others run as they witness their friend dying.
Next they group of apes come across a water hole where there are other apes drinking from it. as they try to get water the other group of apes don’t allow it. So the apes go away in thirst. Later the apes go to bed and when they wake up they they find something strange so they go check it out. As the apes check it out and start touching it, as if they are little children who don’t understand, the black block does something to them. One ape that touched it found bones and picked one up and started hitting the bones as if it now knows how to kill with a weapon. The apes go to the water hole to get their revenge and kill the apes that drove them out. At the end the leader ape throws the bone up in the air and the scene transfers to space.
The meaning of the chapter was that Stanley Kubrick made it as if the apes at first didn't know how to kill with weapons and didn't know what to do when they got attack by predators. So Kubrick made it as aliens came down and put a black block A.K.A Monolith and as the apes touched it they learned how to kill.
Chapter 2:
(Contain spoilers)
Let me keep this brief, this chapter starts as the ape throws the bone up in the air and it transfers to Space. This Chapter follows the creator of the Discovery 1, Dr. Heywood R. Floyd played by William Sylvester and his travel to the moon for a discovery of the first alien finding on a planet the monolith. As he makes his way to the moon this is were Kubrick did some cool stuff like the flight attendant walking in a circle that spins all the way around and with no gravity she goes upside down as she walks to the upstairs. Dr. Floyd then goes to a conference and later heads to the monolith. As the group heads down to the monolith and start examining it, there's a loud noise and then the movie blanks out.
