Plot combing
Title: The sun rises, the title is happy
Section 1
Time: more than four million years ago
Location: Earth
Characters: Apes, tapirs and leopards. Leopards eat apes, and apes eat tapirs.
1. A group of apes occupies a water source and prevents other groups from approaching. One day they found that a black rectangular stone appeared out of nowhere in the center of the pool.
Strange people sang.
The apes were fascinated by this mysterious stone, surrounded it, touched it, and admired it. They saw that, on top of the stone, the sun was slowly rising.
2. Inspired by the black stone, an ape scrutinizes and thinks next to the tapir's skeleton. When the music starts, it tries to pick up a big bone and knock other bones to make them splash. After that, the apes learned to use their bones to kill their prey and drive away other groups.
(The ability to use tools is a sign that humans are different from other animals. Black Stone inspired the apes to evolve into adults. This moment is the beginning of human civilization)
Section 2
Time: 2000 AD
Location: Lunar Klewis Research Base
Character: Dr. Heywood Floyd, member of the US Space Navigation Commission (referred to as Dr. Floyd)
(Transition) The orangutan threw the bones into the air in celebration, transforming into the bone-like spaceship Discovery One. Sun rise.
"Blue Danube"
(The significance of Discoverer 1 to humans is equivalent to the significance of bones to apes, and this also lays the groundwork for the imminent evolution of human beings)
1. Dr. Fu is about to "turn around" at the space station to go to the Klewis Base on the moon. The base was secretly conducting research on Blackstone at this time, and there were also various rumors circulating in the space station. Due to confidentiality work, Dr. Fu refused to respond to the questions of the members of the space station.
2. Dr. Fu flew to the base for a meeting, in order to collect the opinions of the base members on "whether the experiment should be kept secret". And explained that secrecy is to avoid the possible impact of human civilization.
3. Strange people sing. On the way to the location of the Black Stone by plane, Dr. Fu learned that the Black Stone appeared here 4 million years ago. It did not fall like a meteorite, but was carefully buried here.
(There are traces of intelligent creatures on the moon 4 million years ago)
4. A group of people entered the indoor base, and strange people sang. Dr. Fu was attracted by the black stone, and couldn't help but touch it. The stone suddenly made an unbearably harsh sound. The experiment was forced to terminate.
(Blackstone may be waiting for the arrival of Dr. Fu, and once the goal is achieved, he can voluntarily force humans to terminate the experiment)
Section 3
When: 2001 (18 months after Jupiter mission)
Location: Discoverer 1 (onward to Jupiter)
figure:
Mission Commander Dr. David Bowman (David for short)
Deputy Commander Dr. Frank Puri (Frank for short)
Intelligent computer system HAL9000 (half for short)
1. The two crew members turned on the BBC news channel to watch their recorded interviews. The information in the news:
①There are five crew members. David, Frank and the Dormant Survey Group trio. ②The spacecraft is equipped with the latest HAL9000 computer system. It can accurately simulate the activities of most human brains at high speed, which is full of emotion and error-free.
2. The two crew members live a boring life in shifts, and almost everything is left to hal to take care of.
One day Hal asked David "if he had any other ideas for this mission", referring to the Klewis rumors, and "the three Doctors were forced into hibernation despite four months of training. Spaceship" strange arrangement.
(This is Hal's attempt to remind David, but David didn't notice it, so Hal had to switch strategies)
3. Hal said that there is a problem with the radar on the spacecraft and needs to be repaired. One of them traveled by pod for replacement.
The warehouse door is closed, and the camera is aimed at two rows of striking red characters: caution, explosive bolts, the suffocation of the crew in the cabin is getting more and more rapid, making people uneasy, the prelude to tragedy is coming
4. After the chip is replaced, no problem can be checked. David asked the control center for help, and the result given by the control center was that there was a problem with the computer.
David asked Hal, what do you see as a contradiction in your system? The computer says it can only be attributed to human error, my system has never had any records of errors.
(Second reminder, this is "human error")
David believes that Hal is arrogant and unwilling to admit that he has made a mistake, so the two privately decide to close Hal. But I didn't expect that the content of the discussion was interpreted by Hal's lips, and the tragedy began.
5. Hal took the opportunity to kill Frank and threw out his body when the two took the separation bin to replace the radar. David is shocked and asks hal what happened, hal says he can't answer. David takes a pod to retrieve Frank's body. Hal turned off the function of the sleeping cabin again, and all three members of the cabin died. David returns and Hal refuses to open the hatch.
David had to leave Frank's body from the emergency channel into the cabin. At this time, hal actually tried to convince David in a gentle tone that he admitted that something was wrong with him recently, but I promise that everything will be ok, I understand you, I know, I have made some bad decisions, but I can fully accept You assure us that we still have the utmost confidence and enthusiasm, and at the same time I would love to help you. Please stop, David, I'm so scared, I'm so scared... Even with such a gentle tone of voice, this is still one of the most physiologically nauseating episodes of the film!
David shuts down the computer.
6. The truth: After hal is turned off, a video is played automatically, and David is told that the truth of the mission is only known to the computer and the three sleeping members, and is informed of the existence of Blackstone (that is, the purpose of this trip)
7. David continued to sail to Jupiter, and when he was about to reach his destination,
Strange voices sounded.
Several planets were connected in a line, and a huge black rock appeared in the middle. David drove towards the black rock in the pod, and suddenly a psychedelic image appeared in front of him, and then he saw the desert at the beginning of the film.
8. When David woke up again, he found himself in a white, gorgeous and eccentric European-style room, witnessing his gradual aging until death. He was reborn. opening music
The camera sweeps across the moon, the newborn looks at the earth from the universe, the camera slowly turns the angle, and the newborn looks at the audience. The blue Danube sounded at the end of the credits
Combined with the analysis of the original work: (for understanding only, infringement can be deleted)
1. What is the purpose of the black rocks on the moon?
Part of the author's other novel, "The Sentinel," can answer this question: "There are nearly a hundred billion planets spinning in the Milky Way. Long ago on other sun worlds other races must have climbed and surpassed the heights we have reached. Think of such a civilization. In the afterglow of God's creation of all things, the masters of a certain universe were very young, so life only came to a small group of world views. Their world must be a loneliness that we can't imagine. , the gods looked into infinity and felt that no one could share their minds. They must have searched star clusters as we searched planets. There are worlds everywhere, but these worlds are either empty or inhabited by thoughtless reptiles On our earth, huge volcanoes are still spewing thick smoke and polluting the sky, when the first spaceship of the Dawn people galloped from the abyss outside Pluto, passing through the icy outer world, knowing that life is here No role could have been played in the fate of these worlds. Ships docked on the inner planets, warmed by solar fire, waiting to begin their work.
Those space rovers must have taken a fancy to Earth, and circled safely for weeks in the narrow zone between fire and ice, guessing at one point that Earth was the most beloved of the Suns. There will be life here in the distant future; but there are countless planets before them, and they may never visit Earth again.
So they leave a sentry, one of the millions they have scattered throughout the universe, guarding all worlds with the promise of life. It is a beacon that has patiently sent unseen signals through the ages.
Perhaps you now understand why that crystal pyramid is set on the moon and not on the earth. Its builders were not concerned with a race still struggling with savagery. They will only be interested in our civilization if they have traveled through space and escaped the cradle of man, Earth, to prove that they are fit to survive. This is the challenge that all intelligent races will face sooner or later. It's a double challenge because, in turn, it depends on the conquest of atomic energy and the final choice between life and death. Once out of this crisis, it is only a matter of time before we find that pyramid and force it to open. Now that its signals have died down, those on duty will turn their minds to Earth. Maybe they want to help us develop a naive civilization. But they must be very, very old, and unfortunately the old are often stubborn and envious of the young. "
2. Why does hal "error"?
Answer a: This question requires knowledge of the original novel to understand! The plot of the original book is: the highest level's instruction to hal is 1' before arrival, only the hibernating scientist and hal can know the real purpose of this trip! 2'If all the people on the spaceship die, hal has to complete the task independently! 3' Make sure the mission is done! So when the astronauts want to turn off the computer, they decide to kill everyone after thinking according to the command hal, and execute command 2! As hal said, "computer mistakes are all human mistakes!"
Answer b: This is a question that many people can't figure out. it's actually really easy. The reason is explained in the novel. Because of the fear of being leaked, only three people on the spacecraft and Hal knew about the purpose of the Discovery going to Jupiter, and these three people were in a state of hibernation. The two captains, Bowman and Poole, who drive the spacecraft on a daily basis, did not know that Hal had been given an order, and if all personnel were unexpected, it would also complete this mission independently. For Howl, getting things done is above all else. At the same time, according to the original design, Howl must process all information with precision and without concealment. In this way, it has to hide a huge secret from the only two colleagues on the spacecraft that it can communicate with for several months, and its nature cannot hide anything, so it is difficult to respond to a set program. In terms of machines, Hal is schizophrenic. For Hal, since that task is bigger than everything else, he must get out of this psychological predicament by taking out his human colleagues and doing the task alone. 3. What happened to David in the end? David falls through a stargate and soon finds himself in a room full of furniture and appliances, even a Washington phone book, but most of the furniture is just a shoddy imitation, the phone book There is not a word, only the appearance is imitated, which is imitated from the earth by the Master in order to express his goodwill to him. After David went to bed, his memory and consciousness were slowly being stripped away by the Master. When he was completely separated from the body, the Black Stone appeared, he was immortalized, and he became a subordinate of the Master, or a tool. Bowman, who became an energy body, returned to the sky above the earth. He also wanted to see the place where he was born and raised, the people he once loved... This is described in "2010: A Space Odyssey".
