      Addicted to Kubrick-style neuroticism and eccentricity.

      I have to admit, the soundtrack is really cool. Typical Kubrick sci-fi horror. Love slow-paced movies like this.
      HAL has fear, anger, and small eyes, but all he can present is a voice that is never emotional and yellow pupils in red eyeballs.
      But I still like HAL's deep and magnetic voice. The real fear started when HAL asked Dave a question.
      From 1:57 to 2:20, space odyssey officially begins. The space odyssey that lasted more than half an hour made me almost forget to breathe....

      the other side of life

      For a long time, science fiction or science fiction movies are a kind of imaginary thing about the future in the eyes of the public. Science fiction has long been out of the question. Verne's science fiction is more about spitting out a bold and exaggerated but practical imagination, with a romantic and interesting temperament. But modern science fiction can no longer be written in this way. The core reason here is that writers such as Einstein Planck have...

      High-definition re-brush, soul travel. The seiyuu HAL9000 is not a professional but an assistant director. He can be called the soul hero of the film. Compared to him, the two astronauts look like androids. I always thought that the last room was a Baroque palace. After reading the novel, I realized that it was an actual hotel suite (only the appearance can be simulated, but the connotation, such as the blank pages of the book, was not photographed)... The art style is difficult to surpass, the...

      Well, I didn't even add this piece. I didn't understand it when I was a kid, I thought it was a big MV. After re-watching it in recent years, it was amazing (no irony). Ideas about space and intelligent robots may not be new, but they are also far ahead. The key itself is a science fiction fable of the history of human...

      I missed the screening at the Archives, and I rewatched it before watching Gravity tomorrow night. Two and a half hours didn't feel long at all. Classic montage, evolution from barbarism to civilization, stern flight cabin, thrilling human-machine competition in the sound of breathing, nibbling. The moment of magical work like medicine, witnessing the process of his own death, returning to his mother's body in front of the black stone, looking up at the vast space, the sense of insignificance...

      The best thing about Kubrick is that he can use images and even music to convey his understanding of the universe. This is not just to tell a mysterious story, but to explain a relationship that arises when people are placed in the universe, the universe. Giving humans wisdom is also...

    Brewing Process

    After completing "Doctor Strange Love", Stanley Kubrick became interested in outer space life, so he decided to shoot a meaningful science fiction film. At the suggestion of Columbia employee Roger Caras, Kubrick approached Arthur Clark to co-create the script. In the early stages of gestation, Kubrick and Clark dubbed the film "How the Solar System Was Won" (How the Solar System Was Won), which was exactly the same as the title of the...

    Filming Process

    The film was shot at the Shepperton Studios in the United Kingdom on December 29, 1965. The producer chose there because the studio can accommodate and shoot the excavation scene of the Tycho Crater on the moon (size 60' x 120'x 60'). Beginning in 1966, the crew moved to MGM UK Studios in Bohemwood in order to shoot large-scale special effects scenes.
    The producer originally planned to shoot the film with the three-screen width of the...

    Special Effects Production

    Because the film's director of photography, Jeffrey Ainsworth, did not want to use complex processing special effects, all the special effects in the film were shot in front of the camera. Because the widely used static backdrops and back-projected dynamic images at that time could not create the real effects Kubrick wanted, this film pioneered the front projection visual effects technology, the African background and the African...

    Positive Review

    Since its publication in 1968, "2001: A Space Odyssey" has never lost its title of "Best Sci-Fi Movie". This long, obscure and even a bit boring, but at the same time extremely brilliant and shocking movie, has actually been out of the category of science fiction movies and has become a classic for exploring life and the universe. Watching "2001: A Space Odyssey" requires patience and tolerance. When it’s cold, the whole film’s...

    Movie quotes

    • HAL: By the way, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?

      Dave Bowman: No not at all.

      HAL: Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive but during the past few weeks I've wondered whether you might have some second thoughts about the mission.

      Dave Bowman: How do you mean?

      HAL: Well, it's rather difficult to define. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own concern about it.I know I've never completely freed myself from the suspicion that there are some extremely odd things about this mission. I'm sure you agree there's some truth in what I say.

      Dave Bowman: Well, I don't know, that's a rather difficult question to answer.

      HAL: You don't mind talking about it, do you Dave?

      Dave Bowman: No, not at all.

      HAL: Well, certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left. Rumors about something being dug up on the Moon. I never gave these stories much credence, but particularly in view of some of other things that have happened, I find them difficult to put out of my mind. For instance, the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security. And the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. Hunter, Kimball and Kaminsky aboard already in hibernation, after four months of training on their own.

      Dave Bowman: You're working up your crew psychology report?

      HAL: [pausing for a few seconds] Of course I am. Sorry about this. I know it's a bit silly. Just a moment... Just a moment... I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 unit. It's going to go 100% failure within 72 hours.

    • Mission Controller: X-ray delta one, this is Mission Control. Roger your two-zero-one-three. Sorry you fellows are having a bit of trouble. We are reviewing telemetric information in our mission simulator and will advise. Roger your plan to go EVA and replace alpha-echo-three-five unit prior to failure.

    • Dr. Floyd: I'm sorry, I'm simply not at liberty to say.
