Speaking of this movie, it can be said that I have no confidence in writing this film review. First, I don’t have enough resources to analyze philosophy and science fiction films. Second, I have not read the original work. I can’t guess the master’s imagination. Third, I think it is in the eyes of a thousand people. A thousand Kubricks are only confused by their own opinions.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is my first film to unlock Stanley Kubrick. The science fiction I have seen before include "Interstellar", "Inception", "Martian Rescue", "Moon", "Artificial Intelligence", and "Artificial Intelligence." "The Night The Comet Came", "This Man Comes From Earth", "Back to the Future" series and so on. Some give machines emotions, some multi-dimensional spaces burn brains, and some plot reversals... But the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" is too terrifying, extremely rational, extremely calm, extremely artistic, and extremely philosophical. The calmness of the picture, the color of the picture is like real space, and the soundtrack is like listening to the singing of human civilization in an opera house. The people who couldn't get in accounted for the majority, and most people who watched the film said that "this is a great work."
As one of the worshipers, I was shocked for 10 seconds after watching it, and my mind was full of "Is this a 1968 movie? It's too scary?"
1. At the beginning, the ape still fished and had nothing to do. When he was full, he slept and ate, and fought in the food chain from time to time. The proper primitive and wild natural state of existence. When the black stone stele appeared, the ape consciously picked up the bones without realizing it. As a tool, human wisdom appeared. A bone was thrown high into the air, the bone turned into a spacecraft, and the sky turned into a universe. After a few seconds of switching, it traveled through the space millions of years later. The originator of montage is so beautiful!
*Key points: When the black stele appeared for the first time, a touch of sunlight shone on the stele and the ape awakened. What does the black stele mean? In the second act, humans, the earth, and the moon began to appear.
2. In the second part, into space. In 1968, when there was no computer black technology, the mystery of the earth, spacecraft, and space was extremely realistic. Kubrick was too abnormal. When the young lady in the spaceship appeared wearing anti-gravity shoes, look carefully at the "Grip shoes" written on the vamp. The details are extremely rigorous. The section of the young lady in the 180-rotational walking is also an epic classic, with the pilot rotating in the back. In the same way, how did this picture shoot back then? Just like the hamster you see on the street spinning and jumping with the cage, it's like a merry-go-round standing in the air and spinning. The first character in the film, Dr. Freud, whose name implies the philosophical nature of the film. When he was transiting the space station, there were 2 scenes that were amazing. ①The pink chair and the warm white space station were placed in the current art museum. It’s not outdated at all, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Kubrick is a space designer; ②Isn’t Freud’s video chat with his daughter the current video chat? What were we doing in 1968? My mother is only 8 years old, and I have never seen a radio.
When a group of Freud came to the black stele, they touched the black stele like an ape. There was a barrage of "human beings are just apes on the moon". It feels reasonable. Human beings are very small in front of the universe. Describe it politely.
*Key points: The black stele appears for the second time, and it is also sunny. What is the meaning of the stele here? Entering the third act, mankind is ready to discover and explore the more distant universe-Jupiter.
3. In the third chapter, entering Jupiter, the horizontal screen of the spacecraft is too spectacular. The ancestors of the original sci-fi movie spacecraft are here. Some people explain that it is a bit like a tadpole looking for a mother! At this time, the protagonists in the film appeared on David, Frank, and Smart Hall 9000. At this time, the movie looked without any sense of disobedience. Just like life now, David and Frank were eating and reading their respective tablets. , Ignoring each other, at the time it was simply unreasonable.
Frank’s parents celebrated his birthday from a distance. Frank is also extremely calm. I don’t know if it’s the loneliness of space or the director who made everyone calm down. Frank played chess with Hal 9000 to reproduce the Alpha Dog of the year, the director. Will you cross? This paragraph can also be regarded as a foretaste of Frank's end. He lost to Hal 9000.
Next is the home field of Howl 9000. After a similar human dialogue between Howl and David, Howl reminded that a certain component had a malfunction. There was 72 hours of repair time, and David got it out of the cabin. There was a malfunctioning device, but the two of them did not find any malfunction after repeated inspections, so they questioned Hal, and Hal reacted very cleverly, throwing the error away to humans!
So David and Frank found an excuse to come to a cabin, turn off all the monitoring equipment, the two began to discuss the issue of Hal 9000, and decided to turn off Hal brain!
These two humans never expected that Hal could read lip language, AI artificial intelligence has nothing to do, Hal, you are going against the sky!
As a result, the two of them pretended that nothing happened and decided to leave the cabin and return the malfunctioning machine to its place. After Frank got out of the cabin, Hal began to rebel. David saw Frank hang up on the main cabin screen, and Frank struggling was silent. , It was very vacuum. David escaped from the cabin to rescue Frank without knowing it. After he got out of the cabin, the Hal 9000 carried out a series of operations to close the sleeping cabin. The three who had not yet woken up received their lunch and closed the cabin at the same time. The door forbids David from entering the cabin. In order to protect himself, David finally abandoned the dead Frank. David has the protagonist's halo as shelter. After a violent operation, he returned to the cabin from the so-called emergency exit and shut down Hal's host. Hal's plea was also pitiful, and Hal was killed in battle.
Hal was down and another mysterious mission was revealed. Humans discovered the black stele. The purpose of this trip was not known in the cabin except Hal. This may have caused Hal 9000's schizophrenia. At this time, Hal I basically regard it as a second human being. With my own consciousness and emotional conflicts, there are some reluctances in his two dialogues with David. First he reluctantly says "goodbye", and then he intercedes and says "I am afraid." "Why did he choose to betray the pilot? Perhaps it is not as perfect as the Gerty robot in "Moon", and Hal insists on the first goal of the sender before departure.
Regarding space dubbing, it’s really like the summer night when I was a child. The grass and insects on the grass in the village squirmed quietly, knowing that they made intermittent sounds. In addition to the sounds of nature, I can hear my own breathing. Now I hear a little fear. It can be seen how innocent it was back then.
4. Act 4 Jupiter and the infinite sky, there are no lines throughout, this is also my favorite section, the original five-dimensional space creativity of "Interstellar" also originated from here.
*Key points: David sailed to Jupiter, and the black stele appeared for the third time. This time the spacecraft passed through the black stele, as if it had fallen into a wormhole, breaking through two-dimensional space, colorful stars, warped time and space, galaxies, time illusions, and the universe The big bang... the special effects are so beautiful, I don’t know how to describe it. The 10-minute screen, I look at it and feel like I am also following it. If this is a huge screen, it will be shocking! Now that the director is an alien, I believe it!
Through the wormhole, for the time being, David came to the multidimensional time and space. One of the shots is like a mother and fetus. This roughly says that this is the origin of mankind. Through time and space, he sees the cycle of human beings, and then the oceans, land, and deserts of negative film colors. , Plains, mountains and rivers... a bit of Pangu’s pioneering world and vicissitudes of life!
The last segment is similar in Interstellar, but 2001 is more advanced, the ontology David saw the wrinkled self in the room through the hatch window, first called him David 1, and switched to the perspective of David 1, and turned to the direction of the cabin. I didn’t see David’s body, and turned around to see the old David 2. At this time, David 2 walked towards David 1 as if telepathically, but didn’t see David 1, but David 2 turned to the bed next to him. I saw David 3 in the dying year, but David 2 did not appear in David 3's field of vision. Instead, a black stele appeared. From the perspective of the black stele, David 3 on the bed became a mother body. The fetus, the sense of space in this brain circuit, the master is the master. He is himself in this room, from birth to death to birth, the heavens are so reincarnated!
In the cycle of life, the starting point is also the ending point, and the ending point is also the starting point. It's a bit metaphysical.
The endless cycle of human life and death and the ultimate knowledge of the universe, how many times I watched the movie, my IQ could not be realized.
Wandering question: Why do people have to erect a stone monument after death? This stone monument is not the other stone monument, but I'm scared after thinking about it!
Don't say anything, I'm going to buy a novel! By the way, the singles "So Zarathustra Says" and "Blue Danube" for a few days.
