2001 is the most shallow of all Kubrick's films... well, we shall not even consider the EWS for the moment. Even The Shining is better. Spartacs is not much better, but still.The whole "philosophy" in that film is that of an insignificant sci-fi novel... nuff said.
Im most of his films he concentrated on people and their feelings, reactions, troubles. In 2001 he left that solid ground and gave in to the mandane obsession with outer space childhood fantasies.
The result is perhaps the best work in the very minor genre - hardly any accomplishment for an esteemed director. Surely Beethoven could write a simple popular song, but he would not be Beethoven if that was all he did.
Paths of Glory is one of the best his works, following on the incredible success of his two earlier films - Killer's Kiss and The Killing. All three are far more significant than the 2001 in the overall scheme of Kubrick's art.
Being shallow, the only place where 2001 could swimm is the shallow waters of the American culture, obsessed with the silly techno side of the events.
Anywhere else it is usually put in its right place.
