2001: A Space Odyssey: Gathering for Drugs

The first day of "Interstellar" in Japan was the weekend, and the first show was at 10 o'clock. Full of anticipation, I got up early and ran to the cinema to worship. It is said that when "2001: A Space Odyssey" was released in the United States, everyone came in and came out. Because of a serious lack of sleep, on the day I watched "Interstellar", I entered the arena without fluttering, but found that I had 1,800 yen less in my pocket.

It was because many people compared "Interstellar" to a contemporary version of "2001: A Space Odyssey", so they had been looking forward to it for a long time. After watching it, I feel really disappointed. "Interstellar" is a successful commercial film, it has a lot of tears, involves ethics, and has a storyline that requires a little thought, but. . . . Compared with "2001 A Space Odyssey", it is still far behind. In addition, I really want to pull Nolan's ear and say, "Hey!!! "Interstellar" has paid tribute to "2001 A Space Odyssey" too many times. Where is the boundary between plagiarism and tribute?" Although I still want to complain, But suddenly I remember someone said: "Stop making stupid people famous". So I'll stop here and promote 2001: A Space Odyssey.

People who watch "2001: A Space Odyssey" for the first time on a home DVD will initially think their TV is broken. Because there was only music and no picture for the first few minutes, after a few minutes of filming on the TV and the picture finally appeared, many people would suspect that they had put the wrong DVD. Finally, when it was confirmed that there was no misplaced DVD, a fluttering journey began. Before understanding the entire story framework, many people will be amazed by the soundtrack of "2001: A Space Odyssey". "2001: A Space Odyssey" is one of the few films in the history of film music where all the soundtracks are based on pre-existing music and are highly regarded. Its epoch-making and masterful use of classical music has deeply influenced the soundtracks of many subsequent films. If I could go to space in my lifetime, I would also like to fly into space while playing "Blue Danube" in the cabin.

In addition to textbook-like perfect shooting techniques and hard equipment such as soundtrack, "2001 A Space Odyssey" is a movie that can reshape people's three views. Director Kubrick threw out many new concepts, such as: the existence of life has many forms, not only limited to the animals and plants we are familiar with. A higher life form, perhaps a stone tablet. Or there are life forms beyond solid, gas and liquid that we have not yet defined. I always feel that language will limit people's imagination, just like the Tower of Babel, maybe language is not a kind of progress, but a kind of punishment. Everyone should see red differently, but for convenience, they are collectively referred to as red. Each word will be artificially given emotional color. When we see the word "sad", we seem to be able to feel sadness. When we see the word "universe", we may immediately think of vastness and mystery. But maybe the universe is so small that it is just our eyeball, that is to say, maybe there is the whole universe in our eyeball.

The whole universe is like a very thick book, but the first and last pages are missing, as if we can't fully understand it in our entire life. But I firmly believe that the universe is like "Dream of Red Mansions", it is: the grass snake and the gray line, the pulse is thousands of miles away. The meaning of the grass snake gray line is: "A snake passes through the grass without leaving footprints, but the snake has weight, and it will still leave some inconspicuous but still existing traces. Take a thread for sewing clothes and burn firewood. After dragging it in the ashes, because the line is very light, the traces left are also very trance." In the end, the whole universe will be like a linear regression, there is an obvious but ignored main line.

Finally, I hope you didn't fall asleep the first time you watched 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Little knowledge: Before the screening of "2001: A Space Odyssey", human beings had not left the earth and entered outer space.
Finally, Kubrick is the best! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

    Looking at 2001 this time, Kubrick's imagination reminded me that 50 years later, human technology has not substantially progressed: space travel and artificial intelligence are still frontiers-and we have been on this frontier for so long.

    The culprit of space movies makes everyone firmly believe that making a space movie must be like this.

  • Dr Floyd: Now I'm sure you're all aware of the extremely grave potential for cultural shock and social disorientation contained in this present situation, if the facts were prematurely and suddenly made public without adequate preparation and conditioning.

  • HAL: I am feeling much better now.
