2001 Space Odyssey
The final scene from Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey in which a supercomputer that runs the entire
space shuttle begs the main character not to disconnect him because it would hurt him, is so vivid
and at the same time amazingly frightening. The idea that humans will be able to build true artificial
replicas of themselves has been consequently alluring to human vanity and has been flourishing ever
since the famous novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. This aspiration for artificial intelligence was
inspired by the incredible technological encroachment of the preceding decades. However, despite
great undertakings only a minuscule amount of advancement has been delivered from the field of
artificial intelligence, a diminutive amount, at least, in the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Nonetheless, French (2012) argues that the time has come to re–examine the abandonment of the
idea that a machine programmed could pass the Turing test with unconditional accomplishments.
Namely, new discoveries in intellectual cognitive science that have demonstrated that human
intelligence is fundamentally linked to the embodied experience suggest that computers cannot
imitate human intelligence in those aspects in which it is momentously dependent of the sensory
experience of the world. Due to these discoveries, scientists abandoned the idea that computers
would be able to fully emulate human behavior. However, as French (2012) suggests advances in
information technology have brought about software that can collect and retrieve virtually all data
that is presented about human experience on the internet. He cites a recent experiment in which a
home camera system filmed the first 2 years of one baby's life the entire time (French 2012). The
data used to teach the computer about those aspects of human cognition as well thus facilitating it
effusively to pass the Turing test. What remains is to ask whether a computer that could do that is in
any imperative aspect different from a human (French 2012). French (2012) seems to be suggesting

Comparing The Sentinel 'And 2001: A Space Odyssey'
Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" is a basis for Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 1968
movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. As a result, both stories partially share the same theme and parts of
the plot; nonetheless, the movie expands the theme and the plot of the short story, while the latter
focuses mainly on the communication of the importance of the discovery. Due to the difference in
forms, the two stories use methods most suitable for each of them to communicate the most
important moments of the plot. While Kubrick had an advantage of visual and audio–effects that
make an indelible impression on the viewer, Clarke's detailed personal narration makes the reader

2001: A Space Odyssey has no narrator and is known for the minimal quantity of dialogues and
abundance of long silent scenes that show the viewer how human life and actions are relatively
unimportant in the history of human evolution and in the infinity of space. Each episode has its own
main characters, which interact with the monolith: the first episode it is the hominid, in the second
episode – Dr. Heywood R. Floyd; in the third episode – Dr. David Bowman, Dr. Frank Poole and
computer Hal; and in the last episode – Bowman, who is the last surviving member of the mission.
The settings of "The Sentinel" are the Moon and Mare Crisium, in particular, while 2001: A Space
Odyssey takes place on Earth at the beginning of humanity, on a space ship, on the Moon, near the
orbit of Jupiter and in an unknown apartment somewhere in the future. In "The Sentinel" the artifact,
the pyramid, is considered a sentinel that transferred signals to those, who installed it. It is shown as
a pyramid, which makes Wilson confuse the stage of development of its creators thinking that the

The Role Of Extraterrestrials In 2001: A Space Odyssey
Although extraterrestrials never seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, let along directly encounter by the
characters in it, they play a vital role within the movie's narrative. The monoliths encountered by the
Australopithecines, scientists, and Dr. David Bowman in the desert, on the moon, and orbiting
Jupiter, respectively, were all heavily implied to be placed by the unseen extraterrestrials. Each of
these monoliths initiated an event that affected the party that encountered it, usually by causing
some form of philosophical evolution. Furthermore, Bowman was transported to, lived, and died

Comparison Between Christopher Nolan's 2001: A Space...
All human achievements are built with the inspiration from others either consciously or
subconsciously. Michael Ondaatje once said "there is the hidden presence of others in us, even those
we have known briefly". I'd like to examine the influence of Stanley Kubrick on Christopher Nolan,
through the use of their films 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar.
Two major highlights within Christopher Nolan's 2014 movie, Interstellar, are the robots TARS and
CASE. TARS and CASE are demonstrative of the connections the film has to another well known
space movie, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. This connection is not obscure:
Nolan has admitted to referencing A Space Odyssey when creating Interstellar. Particularly, Nolan
took inspiration from Kubrick's HAL–9000 for the concept of TARS and CASE and the Monoliths
for their actual designs, as all three are artificial intelligences that act as assistants and companions
to the human crew of the ship. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
While HAL–9000 was treacherous and eventually attempted to kill the astronauts under his care in
an attempt to equate conflicting orders, TARS and CASE remain loyal to the crew of the spaceship.
Thus, while Kubrick's influence with artificial intelligence in media is noticeable, Nolan builds upon
the idea and takes it in a completely new direction: showing another nature of robots. Kubrick

A Space Odyssey: Kubrick and Clarke
In the production of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick and Clarke looked to produce a piece of work
unlike any other before. The rather simple plot line tells of a series of encounters between humans
and black "monoliths" that allegedly affect human evolution. The movie is divided into four major
parts. The first part covers the Dawn of Man as it shows presumably the first beings to walk the
earth. These beings are known as herbivorous hominids or more commonly known as apes. They
forage for food and eventually come upon a black monolith. After the first monolith is introduced,
several more appear as the movie develops. After an unusual signal is emitted by one of the
monoliths found on the Moon, a crew of six members is compiled and sent to investigate in an
expedition to Jupiter. The sixth and final member, a computer known as the HAL 9000, is the brain
and voice to the aircraft. Hal is the latest form of computer technology as it is capable of speaking
and holding in depth conversations with the crew members. In the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey,
directors Kubrick and Clarke present the dangers of technological dependence, warning people of
the negatives that technology itself brings to humanity. When the movie first begins, a group of
early hominids are shown searching for food in the African desert. After one member of the tribe is
killed, the rest of the tribe mourn and sleep in a nearby crater. They awake to find a monolith next to
their sleeping grounds. Technology is

the science in 2001: A Space Odyssey to actual science. In the film we see some spaceships
designed like airplanes. They have longer wings and sleek bodies; this is inaccurate in comparison
to today's bulky spaceships. The intention behind the bulky design of real–life spaceships is to
provide the maximum amount of fuel possible to the astronauts in contrast Astronauts in the film
don't mention fuel. The Space station's body in the film is circular; this may look visually appealing

Space Odyssey Vs Technology
Technology has long become a part of our everyday lives from small gadgets like our phones to
huge scientific breakthroughs like rockets. Even discovering how humans evolved from apes into
the organisms that they are today, revealed how humans are still undergoing evolution. Curiosity is a
trait that has inspired humans to innovate and be where they are today, and has given them the
capability to be able to make tools that can make their lives easier. Unfortunately, these tools have
inclined humans to become increasingly dependent on them, giving the tools more control as
technology innovates. In Space Odyssey: 2001 by Stanley Kubrick, as humans invent more and
more technology, they invest their own power in it, becoming dependent on it and relying on the
tools to live their own lives. In the movie, a computer system with artificial intelligence, Hal, has
control over the entire spaceship, risking the human passengers aboard the vessel. When humans
build new technology, the devices are meant to be controlled by their inventors, not vice versa. Yet,
Hal conducts the mental health reports of the passengers on board, checking in every once in awhile
to make sure they are emotionally and mentally healthy. As he conducts there periodic surveys, Hal
gets to know a lot more about the passenger's, Dave and Frank's lives, snatching their most basic
right of privacy away. Furthermore, Frank and Dave have to go into a space pod and turn off the

Review Of Stanley Kubrick 's ' 2001 : A Space Odyssey '
ESSAY
Drawing on the work of Chion, Eisenstein or others, assess how effective the film soundtrack is in
either Forbidden Planet, Points in Space or 2001.
Stanley Kubrick's legendary film "2001 : A Space Odyssey" (1968) is an epic of space exploration
and meditation on the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on the process of human evolution. The
film is set in the near future at a time when the moon is colonised and space travel, at least around
the planetary system, is quite usual.
Kubrick said "2001 aspired not to the condition of a science fiction novel but to that of music" (

The Richard Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra", Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz" and Ligeti's
"Requiem" act as recurrent themes in the film's story. The C–G–C chords of "Zarathustra" is first
heard playing triumphantly like a fan fare in the opening title which juxtaposes the Sun, Earth and
Moon. "Zarathustra" acts as bookends for the beginning and end of the film and indicates the
importance of the moments of the evolutionary transformation first from ape to man to Star Child.
"Zarathustra" is heard near the end of the film as Bowman is transformed into the Star Child which
moves earthwards through space, its glowing eyes look back at us. The grandeur of "Zarathustra's"
timpani pounds across space supporting this image of human transcendence. "Zarathustra" gives it's
visual component immense power.
The "Blue Danube" is used during the space station docking and lunar landing sequences turning a
spacecraft's orbit into a ballet. It's also used for the closing credits. The particular recording used is
important. Kubrick chose a sumptuous and expansive recording by the Berlin Philharmonic. The
"Blue Danube" serves many functions. The Waltz acts as musak – happy music for space travellers.

The Dawn of Man. Four simple words introduced what is remarked as one of the greatest films of
all time. There is no spoken dialogue within the first 25 minutes and the last 23 minutes of the film.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is an ambiguous film. The broad range of audience captures various
interpretations of the film. The main theme seems to be about the evolutionary process of mankind
interwoven with elements of a higher or extraterrestrial entity guiding this evolution. There are some
film theories that suggest this movie was all propaganda used in conjunction with the space race that
occurred during World War 2. Some even go as far as to say that the same set used in "2001: A
Space Odyssey" was used to fake the moon landing of 1969. However, theories with more evidence
suggest that the iconic monolith doesn't represent aliens or "God", but instead represents the cinema
screen of which we are viewing. The artistic importance of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is derived
from its ability procure various conclusions. The story begins at the dawn of time. The setting seems
to be a location in Africa. Apes surround the setting in a pack. This pack represents the beginning of
civilization. As is commonly known, mankind has always had a sense of greed. This first act of

Movie I Watched Is 2001 : A Space Odyssey
Cinema Critique
The title of the movie I watched is 2001: A Space Odyssey. The direct of the film is Stanley
Kubrick. The movie was released in the year 1968.
The basic plot of the movie is that for around the first 20 minutes it takes place at the dawn of man,
or civilization. It starts with some ape looking creatures going about life until; they come across a
black stone or monolith. The monolith apparently does something to the apes and gives them the
intelligence to use bones as clubs. It then shifts a great deal of time in the future; the first scene is a
shot of space with a big spaceship. At this point the movie focuses on a doctor named Heywood
Floyd who is on a journey to Clebius (a place on the moon) for a secret mission he can't tell
anybody about. Later at Clebius the black monolith is seen again, and the movie shifts one again.
This time we are introduced to a ship that is on a mission to Jupiter. The ship consists of 5 crew
members, three of whom are in a state of hibernation in capsules, and a HAL 9000 robot. Later the
HAL robot malfunctions due to unknown circumstances and kills 4 of the 5 crew members. The last
crew member left alive named Dave manages to turn HAL off then he goes to Jupiter by himself.
Then for about the next 10 minutes there's this really eerie sequence with all kinds of colors and

2001 A Space Odyssey Movie Analysis
The trailer for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in anticipation of the movie's
debut on April 6, 1968. Kubrick began working on the movie in 1964 in collaboration with science
fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (SOURCE). The two worked together to form the movie's
screenplay, Clarke also began working on the novel titled 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick, who
was just 39 years old at the time, was beginning to gain popularity after directing movies such as
Lolita and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (CITE). His
increasing popularity paired with the movie's intrinsic appeals to the rise of technology and the
Space Race effectively captivated the 1960's American public. Throughout the trailer, there are
displays of striking visuals such as spaceships gliding through a star–speckled black backdrop and
astronauts walking on the moon's gray, barren landscape. Although the most prominent aspect of the
trailer is its setting in space, the characters' actions in space are also awfully intriguing. They are
flying spaceships, walking on the moon, investigating alien monoliths, whirling off uncontrollably
into nothingness, and arguing with the ship's computer. The introduction to this computer, formally

From this scene until the end of the sequence, Kubrick plays with different editing techniques. When

it cuts to a shot of a dead tapir. The quick–cuts of the crushed bones and another cut of a beaten tapir
illustrates that the apes are no longer scared of tapirs or any other predatory creature. It gives the
apes a sense of power and dominance over their so called predators. This method of editing not only
becomes an insight to an ape's thoughts but it also seen as a depiction of mankind's predatory
instincts. The music also invokes the feeling of power because it indicates a connection between the
outskirts of space and this major breakthrough of human evolution. As a result of evolution, the apes

Movie Analysis : A Space Odyssey
While being a technical marvel, 2001: A Space Odyssey simultaneously presents a superb narrative
motivated by profound themes and acted out by a meticulous cast of characters. Director Stanley
Kubrick succeeds in creating this insightful film through the usage of many design elements
including camerawork, sound, setting, and mise–en–scène. As dialogue throughout the film is
minimal, these principles of design are employed to shape the viewer's sense of each aspect of the
film and, consequently, the film as a unified whole. The introduction and first scene of the film rely
heavily on what is presented on screen due to a lack of any dialogue whatsoever. In the initial shot
the Moon is shown, and eventually the Earth and the Sun are revealed, both in alignment with the
moon and the point of view from the camera. Combined with the iconic Strass musical score
conveying wonder and discovery, it is concluded that the viewer will be shown a fantastic
adventure. Immediately following this shot, however, we are placed on a desolate Earth and
introduced to the scene by the on–screen description, "The Dawn of Man". Initially this setting may
seem extremely bizarre for a sci–fi movie. Despite this bold selection of starting the narrative, the
scene plays a crucial role in presenting an essential plot device. The scene's peculiarity is later

Abstract Within the pages of a book, authors are able to create great visual images of locations and
landscapes by using elaborate and descriptive words. Sometimes these images are transferred into an
actual visual by the subsequent creation of films based upon these great works. "2001: A Space

2001 A Space Odyssey
AI has the potential to change the way we live for better or for worse. "Terminator", "IRobot", and
"2001: A Space Odyssey" are examples of Hollywood films where artificial intelligence runs amok,
resulting in a post–apocalyptic future for humanity. Experts rated "A Space Odyssey" 9 out of 10 on
realism because HAL, the supposedly antagonist, never strayed from its programming and killed its
crewmates to achieve its goals. HAL was not motivated by survival instinct or emotions but simply
instructions from its creator. The film's message is that human moral is not a requirement for
artificial intelligence. As the years go by the perception of AI doesn't change much until the 1977
Sci–fi film "Star Wars" was released. Suddenly, the robots were the "good guys". C–3PO is a perfect
example of a friendly robot and quickly became recognized as one of the kindest robots in the

Analysis Of 2001 A Space Odyssey
In 1968, reputable director/producer Stanley Kubrick revolutionized the art of film with his Arthur
C. Clark collaboration, 2001: A Space Odyssey. The MGM film is known for it's striking imagery
mostly because, upon an audience member's first viewing, it is the only thing that actually makes
sense. After the second or third viewing, though, one realizes that the story is something larger than
life. Or at least it is larger than the human race. 2001 tells the story of evolution and the future that
humans might eventually encounter. The plot of 2001: A Space Odyssey is complex. The basic plot
takes place after the human race finds a mysterious monolith buried on the moon. A crew of
astronauts, the main of which are Dr. Dave Bowman, played by Keir Dullea, and Dr. Frank Poole,
played by Gary Lockwood, set out on a mission to the outer moons of Jupiter. With them is the
artificial intelligence computer, H.A.L. 9000, which controls all of the functions of the ship,
including the life support systems holding part of the still–hibernating crew. After a series of events
that lead Dr. Bowman and Dr. Poole to believe Hal is malfunctioning, relations between human and
computer become hostile. The function of this film is not to portray computers as evil beings. 2001
serves as a science fiction thought piece on what the next step of evolution might be. The film starts
by showing the dawn of man four million years ago. The actions of the apes are primal. They are
mostly herbivores

Stanley Kubrick's Film, 2001: A Space Odyssey
Although Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, was first shown in theaters in 1968, it is
still thought to be one of the single most phenomenal films ever released. For this reason, the film is
shown in schools throughout the country, providing an example of exclusive style and visual
breakthroughs. Kubrick avoids the use of dialogue throughout most of the film, displaying to people
the importance of pure visuals and music. 2001: A Space Odyssey is paced at a slow and meticulous
manner, something unique to films produced both before and after its time. Kubrick's film is perhaps
most well known for its revolutionary visual sequences, continually astounding people throughout
the world almost five decades after the release.
As soon as viewers hear the suspenseful, and somewhat familiar, beating of the drums as the credits
roll by, they are met with feelings of anticipation. The film then begins with a long silence, where
only discrete sounds of undeveloped man–apes and leopards are heard. When Moon–Watcher, the
leading man–ape of one tribe, reaches out to touch the mysterious monolith that has landed on Earth,
the anticipation returns. The familiar hypnotic beating of the drums provides viewers with a sense of
suspense, which seems to accompany each breakthrough into the unknown. The reappearance of the

2001 Space Odyssey Analysis
2001: A Space Odyssey is a novel like no other. It entices the reader to read more after finishing
every chapter, whilst providing facts about the universe that may be viewed as dull when explained
outside the novel. It combines a reader's love for complex characters, such as Hal, with an intricate
plot surrounding extraterrestrial life, and finally a lingering feeling of the unknown when the novel
finishes. One theme in this novel was most certainly the perils of technology. The novel explores
technological innovation, its possibilities, and its perils. Hal controlled the navigation, held the
controls for inner mechanisms, such as the doors and airlocks and pods, and controlled message
relay from the Earth, etc. Given this power, Hal turned into a ... Show more content on

He created one of the major conflicts of the novel off of this theme. This conflict was resolved, but
not without destruction and tragedy, which further solidified the success of this theme. The other
conflict in this novel was man vs. extra–terrestrial life. This conflict was never resolved. Bowman
was transformed into light energy by TMA–2 and returned to the solar system. One of the most
intriguing aspects of this novel was the fact that it was written before man set foot on the moon. The
complexity and depth of the information given about setting and extra–terrestrial systems was
beyond its time. This novel helped to reinforce the idea in my mind that we may not be alone in the
universe. Throughout reading it, I asked myself questions, such as, 'Could this form of civilization
on the moon possibly become real one day?' and 'Could intelligent extra–terrestrial life be closer
than we think?' After reading this novel, these questions circulate more often in my mind and I plan
to delve into their research. What I found most interesting in this novel, along with Clarke's

Summary Of Stanley Kubrick's 2001 : A Space Odyssey
Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is largely considered to be one of the greatest and most
influential films ever made, especially when it comes to the science–fiction genre. It is Kubrick's
intriguing and unique take on the human life when it comes into conflict with many things like
human behavior, social orders, and technology. Even though many films revolve around the idea of
humanity, Kubrick takes it to a completely other level, by exploring the outer limits in which human
beings reside in to tell his story. Kubrick brings some extremely interesting questions to the table in
this film when it comes to humanity and how it has evolved over the years, and how will it continue
to potentially evolve. In this critique I'll talk about all of the film's ambitious ideals and what it all
means, as well as deciphering how the film changed the science–fiction genre when it comes to
special effects and cinematography. When watching "2001: A Space Odyssey," you will find that it's
not so much of a film as it is an experience. Because instead of focusing on things like plot and
character development, it instead focuses on the journey in space and time, as well as focusing on
the film's complex themes that are very often hard to make sense of. By the time the film ends, it

This light orbits the black hole along two different axes which gives it the appearance of two halos.
This gives the black hole a celestial connotation. Dr. Romilly explains that human beings cannot

Kubrick's and Villeneuve's strength is the framing. In Space Odyssey an enormous number of scenes
that show central perspective can be seen. A very strong scene is the one in which David and Frank
are inside the space pod and talking about HAL. This shot indicates a vanishing point in the center
of the frame. Kubrick enhances the depth by dividing the frame in a foreground and background;
David and Frank are in the foreground whereas HAL is in the background (cf. Kargl 134). Kubrick
often uses the central perspective to create additional depth. Although the persons and objects that
are filmed by a camera are three–dimensional the screen on which the film is shown is a flat surface.
Therefore, Kubrick uses certain perspectives to enhance the three–dimensional effect. Villeneuve on
the other hand uses the perspective to guide the audience. A lot of Arrival's scenes show guiding
lines that lead to a vanishing point. Sometimes the camera pans to that vanishing point. Sometimes
he guides the audience towards the object of

2001 A Space Odyssey Movie Analysis
The trailer for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey was released in anticipation of the movie's
debut on April 6, 1968. Kubrick began working on the movie in 1964 in collaboration with science
fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke (SOURCE). The two worked together to form the movie's
screenplay, Clarke also began working on the novel titled 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick, who
was just 39 years old at the time, was beginning to gain popularity after directing movies such as
Lolita and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (CITE). His
increasing popularity paired with the movie's intrinsic appeals to the rise of technology and the
Space Race effectively captivated the 1960's American public. Throughout the trailer, there are
displays of striking visuals such as spaceships gliding through a star–speckled black backdrop and
astronauts walking on the moon's gray, barren landscape. Although the most prominent aspect of the
trailer is its setting in space, the characters' actions in space are also awfully intriguing. They are
flying spaceships, walking on the moon, investigating alien monoliths, whirling off uncontrollably
into nothingness, and arguing with the ship's computer. The introduction to this computer, formally
called the "H–A–L 9000 Computer" or simply "HAL", occurs about halfway through the trailer
(TheStanleyKubricks). The serene classical music that the trailer started off with quickly begins to

First I will be giving a brief synopysis of 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. This movie
start off somewhere millions of years ago. Where ape like creatures who could be the start of

across something unusual a black structure known as a monolith, upon coming across this monolith
the ape starts to change and this is when the the first sign of tool usage. By one ape being curious
and finding the remaining bones of an animal and then starts using the bones as tools, starting to hit
things with it which then set them apart from others. Here is where evolution appears and the change
of men is seen. As time passes to the future, the movie ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The ending was difficult for me to understand. Such as why was he older and why was he seeing
himself? But, I think what I did got out of the ending was how it was displaying the changes of
human life. Was the ending a sign of a new creation? Such as how Bowman was able to see him self
getting older and when he dies another human existence was being formed. Another thing I got form
this movie was how the monolith was evidence of greater life. Such as in the beginning it displayed
the evolution of earlier primates discovering greater skills such as finding tools. With that one could
say that could've been the start of men and how we transformed and developed to what we are today.
As millions years have pass into the future this movie shows another evolution change of men being
able to travel to space, showing how much humans have developed, just as with the apes using the
bones for tools, modern humans discovered modern tools such as technology. Finding more
monolith shows that there are other superior creatures out there smarted than men, because such
creation could not be accounted for. In the movie I noticed that when a monolith was discovered, it
seemed like a start of a passage into the next phase of evolution. Such as after the first monolith was
discovered in an prehistoric era the movie fast forwarder to the evolutionary change to outer space,
and when the second monolith was discovered humans were able to travel further in space to jupiter
and when the last monolith was discovered it displayed a discovery of something greater than

Ironic character growth oftentimes becomes the most important aspect of Kubrick's films, with
characters cycling the conformed and the psychotic. Evident in all of Kubrick's films such as
Clockwork Orange, Lolita, Full Metal Jacket, etc. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, a once structured crew
of space travellers soon find themselves at death's door, albeit not to the dangers of space travel but
to their own creation. However, as Fry Carole states, "But finding images for Dave's transformation
offers an even greater challenge than visualizing man's genesis and final development as a
toolmaker and user. For a new species to develop, an old species must die" (Carole 339). The
inspiration and pressure placed onto a character to evolve isn't so easily found, rather it's often a
chain of consequences, coincidences, and luck and plot devices that lead to Bowman's

2001 Space Odyssey

  • 1. 2001 Space Odyssey The final scene from Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey in which a supercomputer that runs the entire space shuttle begs the main character not to disconnect him because it would hurt him, is so vivid and at the same time amazingly frightening. The idea that humans will be able to build true artificial replicas of themselves has been consequently alluring to human vanity and has been flourishing ever since the famous novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. This aspiration for artificial intelligence was inspired by the incredible technological encroachment of the preceding decades. However, despite great undertakings only a minuscule amount of advancement has been delivered from the field of artificial intelligence, a diminutive amount, at least, in the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Nonetheless, French (2012) argues that the time has come to re–examine the abandonment of the idea that a machine programmed could pass the Turing test with unconditional accomplishments. Namely, new discoveries in intellectual cognitive science that have demonstrated that human intelligence is fundamentally linked to the embodied experience suggest that computers cannot imitate human intelligence in those aspects in which it is momentously dependent of the sensory experience of the world. Due to these discoveries, scientists abandoned the idea that computers would be able to fully emulate human behavior. However, as French (2012) suggests advances in information technology have brought about software that can collect and retrieve virtually all data that is presented about human experience on the internet. He cites a recent experiment in which a home camera system filmed the first 2 years of one baby's life the entire time (French 2012). The data used to teach the computer about those aspects of human cognition as well thus facilitating it effusively to pass the Turing test. What remains is to ask whether a computer that could do that is in any imperative aspect different from a human (French 2012). French (2012) seems to be suggesting that passing this full version of Turing test ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Comparing The Sentinel 'And 2001: A Space Odyssey' Arthur C. Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" is a basis for Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. As a result, both stories partially share the same theme and parts of the plot; nonetheless, the movie expands the theme and the plot of the short story, while the latter focuses mainly on the communication of the importance of the discovery. Due to the difference in forms, the two stories use methods most suitable for each of them to communicate the most important moments of the plot. While Kubrick had an advantage of visual and audio–effects that make an indelible impression on the viewer, Clarke's detailed personal narration makes the reader dive deep into the feelings of the main character to realize the significance ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... 2001: A Space Odyssey has no narrator and is known for the minimal quantity of dialogues and abundance of long silent scenes that show the viewer how human life and actions are relatively unimportant in the history of human evolution and in the infinity of space. Each episode has its own main characters, which interact with the monolith: the first episode it is the hominid, in the second episode – Dr. Heywood R. Floyd; in the third episode – Dr. David Bowman, Dr. Frank Poole and computer Hal; and in the last episode – Bowman, who is the last surviving member of the mission. The settings of "The Sentinel" are the Moon and Mare Crisium, in particular, while 2001: A Space Odyssey takes place on Earth at the beginning of humanity, on a space ship, on the Moon, near the orbit of Jupiter and in an unknown apartment somewhere in the future. In "The Sentinel" the artifact, the pyramid, is considered a sentinel that transferred signals to those, who installed it. It is shown as a pyramid, which makes Wilson confuse the stage of development of its creators thinking that the pyramid is simple enough and could have been built in the Ancient Egypt. Only later he understands that human race is billion years younger, and the aliens are far more evolved. The pyramid symbolizes ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The Role Of Extraterrestrials In 2001: A Space Odyssey Although extraterrestrials never seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, let along directly encounter by the characters in it, they play a vital role within the movie's narrative. The monoliths encountered by the Australopithecines, scientists, and Dr. David Bowman in the desert, on the moon, and orbiting Jupiter, respectively, were all heavily implied to be placed by the unseen extraterrestrials. Each of these monoliths initiated an event that affected the party that encountered it, usually by causing some form of philosophical evolution. Furthermore, Bowman was transported to, lived, and died inside a palatial hotel room, and then was transformed into the Star Child and returned to Earth.

  • 7. Comparison Between Christopher Nolan's 2001: A Space... All human achievements are built with the inspiration from others either consciously or subconsciously. Michael Ondaatje once said "there is the hidden presence of others in us, even those we have known briefly". I'd like to examine the influence of Stanley Kubrick on Christopher Nolan, through the use of their films 2001: A Space Odyssey and Interstellar. Two major highlights within Christopher Nolan's 2014 movie, Interstellar, are the robots TARS and CASE. TARS and CASE are demonstrative of the connections the film has to another well known space movie, Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. This connection is not obscure: Nolan has admitted to referencing A Space Odyssey when creating Interstellar. Particularly, Nolan took inspiration from Kubrick's HAL–9000 for the concept of TARS and CASE and the Monoliths for their actual designs, as all three are artificial intelligences that act as assistants and companions to the human crew of the ship. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... While HAL–9000 was treacherous and eventually attempted to kill the astronauts under his care in an attempt to equate conflicting orders, TARS and CASE remain loyal to the crew of the spaceship. Thus, while Kubrick's influence with artificial intelligence in media is noticeable, Nolan builds upon the idea and takes it in a completely new direction: showing another nature of robots. Kubrick focused on the unpredictability of robots and the dangers of an artificial intelligence that can develop emotion but Nolan focuses on how an emotional robot can evolve the capacity to feel trust and love for human ...

  • 9. A Space Odyssey: Kubrick and Clarke In the production of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick and Clarke looked to produce a piece of work unlike any other before. The rather simple plot line tells of a series of encounters between humans and black "monoliths" that allegedly affect human evolution. The movie is divided into four major parts. The first part covers the Dawn of Man as it shows presumably the first beings to walk the earth. These beings are known as herbivorous hominids or more commonly known as apes. They forage for food and eventually come upon a black monolith. After the first monolith is introduced, several more appear as the movie develops. After an unusual signal is emitted by one of the monoliths found on the Moon, a crew of six members is compiled and sent to investigate in an expedition to Jupiter. The sixth and final member, a computer known as the HAL 9000, is the brain and voice to the aircraft. Hal is the latest form of computer technology as it is capable of speaking and holding in depth conversations with the crew members. In the movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey, directors Kubrick and Clarke present the dangers of technological dependence, warning people of the negatives that technology itself brings to humanity. When the movie first begins, a group of early hominids are shown searching for food in the African desert. After one member of the tribe is killed, the rest of the tribe mourn and sleep in a nearby crater. They awake to find a monolith next to their sleeping grounds. Technology is ...

  • 11. When Worlds Collide And The Cult Classic 2001: A Space... More examples of movies within the 50s and 60s include When Worlds Collide and the cult classic 2001: A Space Odyssey. Rather than being influenced by the socio–political occurrences of the time, these films were mostly focusing more on the scientific possibilities that had appeared throughout the course of the Space Race. A quick synopsis of When Worlds Collide can be easily described as, "Science wielded by a heroic scientist confronts a catastrophe" . Despite the movie also including a possible doomsday scenario comparable to the nuclear scare present during the 1950s, When Worlds Collide provides us with the prospect of space travel and colonization of other planets.

Essay On Scientific Aspects Of 2001: A Space Odyssey Scientific Aspects of 2001: A Space Odyssey By Ferdinand Stirling 2001: A Space Odyssey was released 1968; a year before Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon in 1969. While fictional astronaut, David Bowman drank peas through a straw, Neil Armstrong ate freeze–dried peaches. With some science accurate and some false, how much science did Stanley Kubrick's 11th film get right? We can look at the areas of, spaceship design, communication, food, and sound to compare the science in 2001: A Space Odyssey to actual science. In the film we see some spaceships designed like airplanes. They have longer wings and sleek bodies; this is inaccurate in comparison to today's bulky spaceships. The intention behind the bulky design of real–life spaceships is to provide the maximum amount of fuel possible to the astronauts in contrast Astronauts in the film don't mention fuel. The Space station's body in the film is circular; this may look visually appealing but would be impossible to actually launch into space, along with the thin spacecrafts.Kubrick predicted that over the years spaceships would slim down but the designs of today's space–shuttles have remained relatively similar to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In the film astronauts drink their food out of a straw or sometimes eat it as a pâté. Food in the film wasn't freeze dried or wrapped in air–tight packaging even though the astronauts were in space for many months. This is not true to actual science because food that isn't preserved will spoil within a month.Today's space food needs to be freeze dried because voyages may last more than a year. The food in the film also doesn't seem to come in airtight packages which is standard procedure for modern astronauts. However, one area that the film did reflect accurately is that space travelers today can heat up their food in convection ovens; similar to 2001: A Space Odyssey where astronauts can heat up their food in on board ...

  • 15. Space Odyssey Vs Technology Technology has long become a part of our everyday lives from small gadgets like our phones to huge scientific breakthroughs like rockets. Even discovering how humans evolved from apes into the organisms that they are today, revealed how humans are still undergoing evolution. Curiosity is a trait that has inspired humans to innovate and be where they are today, and has given them the capability to be able to make tools that can make their lives easier. Unfortunately, these tools have inclined humans to become increasingly dependent on them, giving the tools more control as technology innovates. In Space Odyssey: 2001 by Stanley Kubrick, as humans invent more and more technology, they invest their own power in it, becoming dependent on it and relying on the tools to live their own lives. In the movie, a computer system with artificial intelligence, Hal, has control over the entire spaceship, risking the human passengers aboard the vessel. When humans build new technology, the devices are meant to be controlled by their inventors, not vice versa. Yet, Hal conducts the mental health reports of the passengers on board, checking in every once in awhile to make sure they are emotionally and mentally healthy. As he conducts there periodic surveys, Hal gets to know a lot more about the passenger's, Dave and Frank's lives, snatching their most basic right of privacy away.

Four million years later, we see the luxurious space travel that the vintage science fiction of the 1960's, with space stations for air terminals and such.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As Bowman deactivates HAL, HAL retreats to sing his first memory, the tune "Daisy Bell". Dave executes Hal, and a prerecorded video message from Floyd plays, uncovering the presence of the stone monument on the moon, its purpose and source unclear. Except for one short yet intense radio discharge for Jupiter, it has been dormant. Orbiting Jupiter, Bowman leaves Discovery One to research another monolith. When Dave heeds the monolith, and then a wormhole sucks in the unit, racing Bowman crosswise athwart mindboggling separations of space, review a mind bowing trek through the space–time continuum. Bowman later gets himself, still in the case, in a room delegated in the neoclassical style. With each changing view, he perceives himself dying, up until a vast stone monument resurrects him as an embryo encased in a forthright sphere of light. The film closes as the new being buoys in space, as he watches planet Earth. In a film full of metaphors and messages, one could refer to "2001: A Space Odyssey" as a key scene! But, to cherry pick, one key scene would be the story of Hal. "Incapable of error", Hal talks, plays, and fears, but the emotion 's authenticity are unknown. The astronauts do not suspect rebellion from their comrade until later. When Hal signals an error, Hal blames humans, but this makes Frank and Dave distrustful. Is Hal making errors, or plotting something? Dave and Frank meet in one of the most valuable soundproof pods to talk about disengaging ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 19. Review Of Stanley Kubrick 's ' 2001 : A Space Odyssey ' ESSAY Drawing on the work of Chion, Eisenstein or others, assess how effective the film soundtrack is in either Forbidden Planet, Points in Space or 2001. Stanley Kubrick's legendary film "2001 : A Space Odyssey" (1968) is an epic of space exploration and meditation on the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on the process of human evolution. The film is set in the near future at a time when the moon is colonised and space travel, at least around the planetary system, is quite usual. Kubrick said "2001 aspired not to the condition of a science fiction novel but to that of music" ( Baxter,1997 :215) Kubrick gave this description of "2001": "It is a scientifically based yet dramatic attempt to explore the infinite possibilities ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The Richard Strauss' "Thus Spake Zarathustra", Johann Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz" and Ligeti's "Requiem" act as recurrent themes in the film's story. The C–G–C chords of "Zarathustra" is first heard playing triumphantly like a fan fare in the opening title which juxtaposes the Sun, Earth and Moon. "Zarathustra" acts as bookends for the beginning and end of the film and indicates the importance of the moments of the evolutionary transformation first from ape to man to Star Child. "Zarathustra" is heard near the end of the film as Bowman is transformed into the Star Child which moves earthwards through space, its glowing eyes look back at us. The grandeur of "Zarathustra's" timpani pounds across space supporting this image of human transcendence. "Zarathustra" gives it's visual component immense power. The "Blue Danube" is used during the space station docking and lunar landing sequences turning a spacecraft's orbit into a ballet. It's also used for the closing credits. The particular recording used is important. Kubrick chose a sumptuous and expansive recording by the Berlin Philharmonic. The "Blue Danube" serves many functions. The Waltz acts as musak – happy music for space travellers. According to Michel Chion (Chion 2001), a shock, both pleasant and intoxicating, was produced by this choice .

  • 21. Study Of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey The novel I have selected for this Independent Novel Study is 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. I selected this novel based upon the movie adaption that was made in 1968. It peaked my interest when I saw it on the approved list and selected it immediately. The information required to read this novel was minimal in my case due to the fact that I had previously watched its movie adaption. For other individuals however, it is required that they have a general understanding of space and the physics surrounding it. It is also required that the individual enjoys science–fiction.

  • 23. Analysis Of The Movie ' 2001 : A Space Odyssey ' The Dawn of Man. Four simple words introduced what is remarked as one of the greatest films of all time. There is no spoken dialogue within the first 25 minutes and the last 23 minutes of the film. "2001: A Space Odyssey" is an ambiguous film. The broad range of audience captures various interpretations of the film. The main theme seems to be about the evolutionary process of mankind interwoven with elements of a higher or extraterrestrial entity guiding this evolution. There are some film theories that suggest this movie was all propaganda used in conjunction with the space race that occurred during World War 2. Some even go as far as to say that the same set used in "2001: A Space Odyssey" was used to fake the moon landing of 1969. However, theories with more evidence suggest that the iconic monolith doesn't represent aliens or "God", but instead represents the cinema screen of which we are viewing. The artistic importance of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is derived from its ability procure various conclusions. The story begins at the dawn of time. The setting seems to be a location in Africa. Apes surround the setting in a pack. This pack represents the beginning of civilization. As is commonly known, mankind has always had a sense of greed. This first act of greed is displayed when one group of apes take a source of water from another group. The morning after the instance of greed, a monolith appears.

The movie was released in the year 1968. The basic plot of the movie is that for around the first 20 minutes it takes place at the dawn of man, or civilization. It starts with some ape looking creatures going about life until; they come across a black stone or monolith. The monolith apparently does something to the apes and gives them the intelligence to use bones as clubs. It then shifts a great deal of time in the future; the first scene is a shot of space with a big spaceship. At this point the movie focuses on a doctor named Heywood Floyd who is on a journey to Clebius (a place on the moon) for a secret mission he can't tell anybody about. Later at Clebius the black monolith is seen again, and the movie shifts one again. This time we are introduced to a ship that is on a mission to Jupiter. The ship consists of 5 crew members, three of whom are in a state of hibernation in capsules, and a HAL 9000 robot. Later the HAL robot malfunctions due to unknown circumstances and kills 4 of the 5 crew members. The last crew member left alive named Dave manages to turn HAL off then he goes to Jupiter by himself. Then for about the next 10 minutes there's this really eerie sequence with all kinds of colors and weird things going on. Then the movie ends with Dave seeing himself at different ages of his life and then there's a giant fetus overlooking earth. One of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Therefore, even though HAL 9000 is a computer, he possesses many humanlike characteristics. The discussion about science leads into the second point of monoliths and technology. www.dictionary.com defines a monolith as something, such as a column or monument, made from one large block of stone. This is first portrayed in the first couple of scenes in the movie. As the gorilla finds the monolith, picks it up and uses it as a weapon to kill prey. Next, when the gorilla throws the bone up in to the air, it becomes a space ship over Earth. As I researched, this was the longest time change in history of all the movies. Considering the bone became the spaceship just shows that even though technologically people have progressed, the minds still stayed relatively the same with the same goals. As a saying my mother once told me, Men are like children, but when they get older they change their toys. I find this to be relevant in "2001" as the time change only portrays a different time period but more or less the same content.

The two worked together to form the movie's screenplay, Clarke also began working on the novel titled 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick, who was just 39 years old at the time, was beginning to gain popularity after directing movies such as Lolita and Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (CITE). His increasing popularity paired with the movie's intrinsic appeals to the rise of technology and the Space Race effectively captivated the 1960's American public. Throughout the trailer, there are displays of striking visuals such as spaceships gliding through a star–speckled black backdrop and astronauts walking on the moon's gray, barren landscape. Although the most prominent aspect of the trailer is its setting in space, the characters' actions in space are also awfully intriguing. They are flying spaceships, walking on the moon, investigating alien monoliths, whirling off uncontrollably into nothingness, and arguing with the ship's computer.

The various shots of land are staged in altered settings within different time zones, which express the Earth as a large place.

  • 33. Movie Analysis : A Space Odyssey While being a technical marvel, 2001: A Space Odyssey simultaneously presents a superb narrative motivated by profound themes and acted out by a meticulous cast of characters. Director Stanley Kubrick succeeds in creating this insightful film through the usage of many design elements including camerawork, sound, setting, and mise–en–scène. As dialogue throughout the film is minimal, these principles of design are employed to shape the viewer's sense of each aspect of the film and, consequently, the film as a unified whole. The introduction and first scene of the film rely heavily on what is presented on screen due to a lack of any dialogue whatsoever. In the initial shot the Moon is shown, and eventually the Earth and the Sun are revealed, both in alignment with the moon and the point of view from the camera. Combined with the iconic Strass musical score conveying wonder and discovery, it is concluded that the viewer will be shown a fantastic adventure. Immediately following this shot, however, we are placed on a desolate Earth and introduced to the scene by the on–screen description, "The Dawn of Man". Initially this setting may seem extremely bizarre for a sci–fi movie. Despite this bold selection of starting the narrative, the scene plays a crucial role in presenting an essential plot device. The scene's peculiarity is later pushed aside as it shrouds itself in mystery and raises many questions through a mystical occurrence. The first few shots from the scene show a ...

It is based on an alien species that has placed monoliths on different planets in order to evaluate the evolution of mankind. After a space exploration to the moon, the explorers discover the second monolith on the moon. When the sunlight hits the monolith for the first time it sends a piecing signal towards the planet Jupiter. The United States then send another spaceship to the distant planet. The spaceship is equipped with an artificial intelligence computer named Hal. On board the spaceship are astronauts David Bowman, Frank Poole, and three others frozen in cryogenic pods. Hal, the super computer who is in control of the ship, informs the crew that there has been a component failure on one of the antennas. Poole is sent out to replace the component when Hal severs his lifeline. Bowman ventures out to rescue Poole but Hal closes the entry doors and then terminates the lives of the three others on board the ship. Bowman is forced to abandon Poole and go in through the emergency hatch to terminate Hal. He manually shuts down the computer's memory and logic circuits and continues his journey for Jupiter.

  • 51. Analysis Of 2001 A Space Odyssey In 1968, reputable director/producer Stanley Kubrick revolutionized the art of film with his Arthur C. Clark collaboration, 2001: A Space Odyssey. The MGM film is known for it's striking imagery mostly because, upon an audience member's first viewing, it is the only thing that actually makes sense. After the second or third viewing, though, one realizes that the story is something larger than life. Or at least it is larger than the human race. 2001 tells the story of evolution and the future that humans might eventually encounter. The plot of 2001: A Space Odyssey is complex. The basic plot takes place after the human race finds a mysterious monolith buried on the moon. A crew of astronauts, the main of which are Dr. Dave Bowman, played by Keir Dullea, and Dr. Frank Poole, played by Gary Lockwood, set out on a mission to the outer moons of Jupiter. With them is the artificial intelligence computer, H.A.L. 9000, which controls all of the functions of the ship, including the life support systems holding part of the still–hibernating crew. After a series of events that lead Dr. Bowman and Dr. Poole to believe Hal is malfunctioning, relations between human and computer become hostile. The function of this film is not to portray computers as evil beings. 2001 serves as a science fiction thought piece on what the next step of evolution might be.

For this reason, the film is shown in schools throughout the country, providing an example of exclusive style and visual breakthroughs. Kubrick avoids the use of dialogue throughout most of the film, displaying to people the importance of pure visuals and music. 2001: A Space Odyssey is paced at a slow and meticulous manner, something unique to films produced both before and after its time.

Summary Of Stanley Kubrick's 2001 : A Space Odyssey Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is largely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential films ever made, especially when it comes to the science–fiction genre. It is Kubrick's intriguing and unique take on the human life when it comes into conflict with many things like human behavior, social orders, and technology. Even though many films revolve around the idea of humanity, Kubrick takes it to a completely other level, by exploring the outer limits in which human beings reside in to tell his story. Kubrick brings some extremely interesting questions to the table in this film when it comes to humanity and how it has evolved over the years, and how will it continue to potentially evolve.

Kubrick enhances the depth by dividing the frame in a foreground and background; David and Frank are in the foreground whereas HAL is in the background (cf. Kargl 134). Kubrick often uses the central perspective to create additional depth.

Such as how Bowman was able to see him self getting older and when he dies another human existence was being formed. Another thing I got form this movie was how the monolith was evidence of greater life. Such as in the beginning it displayed the evolution of earlier primates discovering greater skills such as finding tools. With that one could say that could've been the start of men and how we transformed and developed to what we are today. As millions years have pass into the future this movie shows another evolution change of men being able to travel to space, showing how much humans have developed, just as with the apes using the bones for tools, modern humans discovered modern tools such as technology. Finding more monolith shows that there are other superior creatures out there smarted than men, because such creation could not be accounted for. In the movie I noticed that when a monolith was discovered, it seemed like a start of a passage into the next phase of evolution.

Charlton Heston plays Robert who is one of the only survivor of germ warfare unleashed on Earth. Through flashback, we discover that a final world war with Russia led to a deployment of biological warfare that in turn created a plague. The plague caused by the war wiped out most of humanity except for Lisa and a few kids who have been affected but have not yet mutated. In this film we can see how Lisa and Robert develop a romance, which could seem improbable given the big age difference, between an older man and a younger lady. However since this movie was released during the counterculture era, this could have been seen as an example of going away from the norms of the time.

In Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey the audience is presented with a futuristic rendition of the year 2001, where society's emphasis on structure and rules are exaggerated to the extreme. Technology is exceedingly advanced in the fictitious utopia, and in turn a problem poses humanity – humans must work increasingly hard to further advance and a reliance on technology is built.
