      Collaboration (this is not a movie review)

      This isn't a movie review, it's an afterthought


      "2010": This film has won a lot of Oscar nominations that have nothing to do with the plot, such as costume design, art design, etc., because the plot is really not good. Although this film is considered a sequel to "2001: A Space Odyssey", I don't know why it wasn't directed by Kubrick.

      The movie lacks the contemplative stuff from A Space Odyssey, and there isn't much to explain about that black...

      [Space Ghost Movie] The protector of intelligent creatures - black stone tablet?

      Maybe I haven't watched "2001: A Space Odyssey", and I'm a bit confused watching "2010"... So what's the meaning of the black stone tablet? Seeing signs of intelligent life will help them turn Jupiter into a new sun and promote the survival and purification of life on Europa? So there are also black stone tablets on the earth. Are we also once protected by black stone tablets? There is also a black stone tablet on the moon. Is it possible that the moon may also have new creatures? And then...

      pre-digital rhapsody

      Old movie, at that time, computers were still in the stage where windows were not popularized. But because of limited conditions, the imagination is amazing. The beginning is a little creepy, creating a suspenseful atmosphere. The husband and wife study dolphins and keep dolphins at home. The space scene that should be simulated by the model, the so-called mysterious existence in space like a tombstone, and a black hole swallowing objects. The dead people mysteriously appear in front of...

      It's better to change the name to "Decryption 2001"

      It is the singer's job to read the coordinate data, and it is the singer's pleasure to judge the sincerity of the coordinates.

        Singers know that what they are doing is not a big deal, it's just picking up the slack, but it's a must do, and it's fun.

        Speaking of fun, it was a fun place when the seed set sail from the home world, but then, since the war between the home world and the fringe world began, the fun has gradually diminished. Up to now, more than 10,000...

      It is nominally a sequel to "2001", but it is quite different in style from that classic, and has completely become a sci-fi film in the traditional sense. A very good note, the depiction of HAL is also more humanized. The background of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union and the cooperation between the astronauts of the United States and the Soviet Union in the end also emphasize the background of the era of that era, with a clear anti-war...

      The sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, continuing the setting of 2001, the difference is that the director is different. However, the fusion is very harmonious, and it also explains more about the settings of the previous work. It's just that from now on, it turns out that it's best not to make sequels to classic films, and they are made by different people. Successful sequels are really rare. I think it's good that the director made more extensions to the previous work. It would be nice if there...

      Compared with the previous work, it has more "human taste", and the plot is a lot richer, which is a supplement to 2001. But 2001 is a masterpiece after all, and this sequel cannot compare in terms of philosophical...

      The film itself is not bad. As a sequel to the classic "2001", it is short in comparison, and it is difficult to surpass the artistic achievements and ideological depth of its...

      I watched 2001 when I was a kid. Oh my god, what was that movie? It was dull and obscure. I remember my dad was always explaining it to me. I could understand a little bit, but this sequel is simple and clear. In the 1984 film, I read some comments and materials, and I answered a lot of questions. Don't say it's a continuation of the dog's tail. There must be arguments and foundations for nitpicking. At least it has completed its mission. The Queen's Russian is very...

    Movie quotes

    • Dr. Heywood Floyd: [Looks around the table to see the cosmonauts all nervous and edgy; sighs, takes off glasses] All right, what's going on here?

      Tanya Kirbuk: What do you mean?

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: Well, I may not be the swiftest guy in the world, even when I'm not hung over, but I do seem to remember a process where you people ask me questions and I give you answers and then I ask questions and you give me answers and that's the way we find out things. I think I read that in a manual somewhere.

      Tanya Kirbuk: Your government wanted us to awaken you when we reported our findings. We did that. You are here to help us reactivate the Discovery and its computer systems because that is United States territory. You are authorized to observe other aspects of our mission. We have no other obligation.

      Dr. Vladimir Rudenko: A lot has happened while you have been asleep.

      Dr. Vasili Orlov: It is not our choice.

      Tanya Kirbuk: The problem in Central America is growing worse.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: This looks as if you've detected the presence of chlorophyll.

      Tanya Kirbuk: [interrupts him] The United States is threatening a naval blockade.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: [interrupts her in turn] There's nothing but ice down there so how can there be any chlorophyll?

      Tanya Kirbuk: [interrupts him again] You know and I know that my country cannot allow a blockade.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: How fast it is moving?

      Tanya Kirbuk: [continues to talk over him] We are under instruction...

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: Listen, just because our governments are behaving like asses doesn't mean we have to. We're supposed to be scientists, not politicians, how fast?

      Tanya Kirbuk: Doctor Floyd, I am also an officer of the Soviet Air Force...

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: HOW FAST?

      Dr. Vasili Orlov: One meter per minute.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: [speaking to her] Don't worry, I'm just observing.

      [speaking to him]

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: Toward the sun?

      Dr. Vasili Orlov: Yes.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: That's incredible.

      Tanya Kirbuk: We are going to send a probe down.

      Dr. Heywood Floyd: GOOD.

    • Walter Curnow: I feel so stupid. How do you say, 'stupid'?

      Maxim Brajlovsky: Durak!

      Walter Curnow: That's me.

      Maxim Brajlovsky: You shouldn't feel like that. The same thing happened to me the first time I did this.

      Walter Curnow: When have you ever done this before?

      Maxim Brajlovsky: Never!

    • Maxim Brajlovsky: Easy as cake, huh?

      Walter Curnow: Pie. Easy as pie.
