It is known as the most profound and philosophical science fiction movie in history that no one can understand. It was this movie that made me look forward to it for 4 full years. Finally, I watched the whole movie completely, and found that many things have been drained, and need to be repeated to find out more in the text. I still decided to write down my opinion on this film, just to witness my own exploration again, no matter the depth.
topic. Odyssey's return to the theme in Greek mythology makes his illusory subject matter immediately full of historical sense. The return of Homer’s epic and 2001’s space exploration may be even more fatalistic. The subsequent interpretations or refutations of Nietzsche's theory indeed confirmed the eternal reincarnation in antinomy. structure. 3 levels. The dawn of man, Jupiter Mission, Infinite. Some people took the first part apart and added a so-called "moon trip." Such a four-stage style does cater to the format of a symphony, but Nietzsche's evolutionary syllogism no longer fits. Camel, lion, baby, human form and destiny described in the three stages can all be seated. There are many very neat details in the film, and the metaphors contained in it are quite clever. In an article written by an expert, I summarized it in great detail, and I also benefited a lot, but due to space limitations, I saved it. music. "Blue Danube" and "So Zarathustra Says" are undoubtedly the most important voices in this movie. The theme of "Blue Danube" is a very elegant environment, which is used to set off the scientific and technological achievements of mankind and the leisurely living environment. On the contrary, "The Saying of Zarathustra" only appears in the most glorious part of the overture. It only appears twice in the film. Both appear when the black stone meets the sun when humans are facing major changes, to highlight the turning point of fate. . Kubrick is a genius. It goes without saying that Johann Strauss's waltz is used for this, and Richard Strauss's symphonic poems are used in the film, which always makes me suspect that his purpose is not the composer but Nietzsche. . After all, "The Saying of Zarathustra" itself is Nietzsche's masterpiece of evolution-like this movie-no one can understand. Black stone. God? Undoubtedly, this is an abstracted symbol, symbolizing the only guidance that human beings rely on when they are lost. Blackstone appears 4 times in total, each time when human beings seek new areas or attempt to expand. Oracles, I believe that black stone means oracles. Corresponding to this, Dave is the prophet. Comprehend God's will. However, the attitude of others towards Blackstone has shown time and time again: Humans are always the same as apes, at least in terms of human nature. Wall. Many people are talking about the second part of the movie, whether it is a computer error or a human error. Many people are grateful for the final victory of mankind. However, I think on the contrary, Kubrick ridiculed the indifference between people. When HAL was turned off, the video that was secretly embedded before departure told us that all astronauts did not know their mission, only this computer knew. HAL accepted two contradictory instructions, but was asked to keep the pseudo-instruction secret and execute it. The existence of pseudo-instructions is only because of the existence of suspicion. People no longer believe in their companions, but instead believe in cold tools, which are the same as when the apes and their peers fought for water in the same way at the beginning. Is this the consequence of human disputes? What is the difference between HAL and a pistol? Of course, except that it can choose the best time to destroy mankind. evolution. It is still enslaved to evolve. Changes in tools. What is the difference between the bones thrown high by the ape-man and the bone-shaped spaceship? Human beings The reliance on tools cannot be increased. On the other hand, human beings are enslaved by tools. Of course, modernity has significantly revised the concept of mankind: while mankind believes in science and technology, it is no longer used as a tool, but as the ultimate goal. Humans have become tools of technology. Human beings are just trying to ban or even destroy themselves. Is this sentence correct? Wrong? indifferent. All the sets are so elegant, but they are addictive indifference. We can find that the clean layout is filled with cool backgrounds and sporadic warm-toned subjects. The same goes for the dialogue. Even the astronaut who has been a few light-years away does not have any moving expressions when he receives birthday wishes from his parents. The two people on the spacecraft will stay alone for several years, but they have no words. The only conversation started because of revenge on the computer. In order to be rescued, the astronaut who was tricked out of the spacecraft gave up the rescued companion and threw it into the vast universe. On the contrary, the most human touch is the computer called HAL. It's really ironic that humans have created machines that are more human than themselves. Perhaps this sentence itself is a paradox, because people can no longer understand human nature. return. The structure of the spacecraft is a cross-cut circle. In the time of space distortion, we can always find that the original place will reappear. The "evolution" of Dave into Star Child in the incredible room in the third part is a concrete manifestation of Nietzsche's superman theory. And Dave witnessed his own continuous changes over the years, and finally returned to the original state of life. Approximately, that is no longer the original, because the form of Star Child is not what we are familiar with. Maybe that means Higher The birth of Tribe. time. Luxury room at the end. The most surrealistic picture in the movie. The rococo layout of the Louis XIV period, noble knives and forks, and elegant dining attitude. Dave kept witnessing his changing postures, and at the same time his young face was taken away by the years. Perhaps we can also interpret it as human evolution requires care for history, but I prefer another explanation: human evolution makes humans forget their evolutionary purpose, and that purpose is closely related to human traditions. . Of course, this is also a return in itself, if humans can return. silence. A lot of silence. The first line appears in the 25th minute after the start of the movie. A gasp for dozens of minutes. There is even the famous 5-minute complete black screen. If Kieslowski used the paradox of the plot to trigger thinking, then Kubrick’s weapon in this movie is silence. That's why this movie can represent his personal highest achievement. There are two other gimmicks: HAL is a high-intelligence computer, and the three letters move one to the right, which is IBM. Second, this film was taken in 1968, and many of today's technological predictions have been realized. This is human creativity? Or is it a script that God has already completed?
