I don't understand and pretend to understand and the emperor's new clothes

Probably everyone agrees how boring this movie is, and you can watch it at 3x speed and mostly untouched. There are very few elements of the plot, and most of the space roaming scenes are just to show the fantasy future technology, and the future technology in the middle now looks neither futuristic nor sci-fi. Not to mention that the last twenty minutes are bizarre, boring and meaningless, just like the light of windows wallpaper (some people say that the light idea of ​​windows wallpaper itself comes from this), it was purely a director, and in that era, special effects were made.
So of course everyone can't understand it, and those who pretend to understand if they don't understand, will come up with labels one by one, trying to scare others, "Idiots can't see this dress", such as our high praise short comments" You must understand Nietzsche first." Not to mention how many people in the world understand Nietzsche, the only relationship between this film and Nietzsche is that it used "Thus Said Zarathustra" as the soundtrack. People who like this short comment, I guess it was mostly frightened, and comforted myself, "No wonder I can't understand it, it's because of Nietzsche."
Some people say that this is a work from the 1960s, which is already very cool. I don’t think this point of view is valid. Good science fiction works span the ages. If 50 years have passed, all your science fiction ideas are no longer novel. At this time, the work has lost its charm. You say, “Fifty years ago, there was nothing What, so it's still very awesome", then I think this work is probably constrained by the times. For example, in Verne's science fiction works, almost all the fantasies have already been realized, but the works still have the charm that they transcend the times and are still readable. This is a good science fiction work.
As for those who associate this work with philosophy, they just like to equate the connotation with philosophy. The film does have a lot of hidden connotations. Blackstone can interpret countless symbolic meanings, but it is only a reflection of the novel and blank space. It's just a trick, just a strange light in the fish's eyes.

2001: A Space Odyssey quotes

  • HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

  • HAL: [His shutdown] I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

    Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

    HAL: It's called "Daisy."

    HAL: [sings while slowing down] Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
