2001 once again

166.102.96.17

Reviewed this last night on a friends DVD. This was after I had shared with him the Weidner essay kindly provided by Audiophilander.

Seems Weidner is pretty much on to this one. The real story here is the story of the monolith. And transformation (alchemy). Humans are shown as pretty small and soulless.

Seems to me, though, that all of Kubrick's movies show people as being somehow victims of their fate or of outside forces. Maybe not Spartacus? Paths of Glory? Dunno. Never saw Paths and Spartacus was a long time ago.

It would be interesting to know how Kubrick really felt about the subject of this movie. Did he believe that we're lost without outside intervention, as in aliens, God, etc?

Anyone know why Kubrick left the US in the 60s and never returned?
