If you're a pleb, yes.

Well you're not wrong. I listed it as my favorite for many years but I haven't seen in a long time so now I'm not sure. It made me think about existence in a whole new way. And it looks cool.

I don't think there's other movie that transcendent the medium like that though many tried.
I hate that cunt Rob Ager but he was right in his analysis - 2001 is to film what French cathedrals were to the medieval architecture. Or going further - while Citizen Kane showed that film has its own language and can tell a story as good as a book, 2001 showed the movie could be an religious experience.
Anyway that's just my feelings, go on and call me a fag or a redditor.

Friendly reminder that most of Kubrick films takes place in the same universe: Kubrickverse.

Part of the Kubrickverse

Nice mental gymnastics. Kubrick is a complete hack.

>>81464644
Kek, he worked on the movie from early 60's and the cited examples look terrible in comparison to 2001, especially in motion.

>>81461463
>tfw you realize the space scene isnt even accurate and there would have a been noise from the gas escaping and hitting the hull of the ship

>>81464565
Yes 2001: A Space Odyssey is way better then Invasion of Astro-Monster.

>>81464746

Keep up that delusion Kubrick manchildren. You can admit he's an unoriginal and talentless hack who gets more praise than he deserves. He's The Beatles of the movie world

>>81464825
What's wrong with The Beatles?
I mean I'm not exactly a fan but they're fine.
Also try harder.

Okay

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art.

Contemporary musicians never spoke highly of the Beatles, and for good reason. They could never figure out why the Beatles' songs should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that the Beatles were simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to "Beatlemania", which had nothing to do with their musical merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in their (mediocre) musical endeavours to this day.

The Beatles sold a lot of records not because they were the greatest musicians but simply because their music was easy to sell to the masses: it had no difficult content, it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth. They wrote a bunch of catchy 3-minute ditties and they were photogenic. If somebody had not invented "Beatlemania" in 1963, you would not have wasted five minutes of your time reading these pages about such a trivial band.

And oh boy did the sequel sucked. Don't let the poster fool you. The star child pops up for about 5 seconds and does nothing. It's just another "COLD WAR IS BAD AND SOMETHING SMARTER TELLS US TO STOP AND WE DO" style of story common in sci-fi from the 80's. And they also ruin everything about HAL for cheap "THE GOVERNMENT IS EEEEVVIIILL" shot. People say 2001 is boring, man 2010 is a snore fest. People talk and talk you just don't give a shit. Also these are either fucking idiots or morally questionable.

If you never knew this existed, continue going on as if didn't. Any questions you might have had about 2001 do not get answered and anything you could come up with is better than anything this did.

The fact that so many people still name Stanley Kubrick as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" director ever only tells you how far film still is from becoming a serious art.

Contemporary film makers never spoke highly of Kubrick, and for good reason. They could never figure out why his movies should be regarded more highly than their own. They knew that Kubrick was simply lucky to become a folk phenomenon (thanks to the "Space Race", which had nothing to do with his film making merits). That phenomenon kept alive interest in his (mediocre) films to this day.

Kubrick sold a lot of copies of his films not because he was the greatest director but simply because his films were easy to sell to the masses: they had no difficult content, they had no technical innovations, they had no creative depth. He shot a bunch of catchy 3-minute scenes with some decent cinematography. If somebody had not invented the "Space Race" in 1957, you would not have wasted two minutes of your time reading this post about such a trivial director.

or maybe his movies are great and people acknowledged it

>>81465652
The good old times of 4chan, 4chan in its prime.

>>81461463
But it's not even the best Kubrick film, Dr. Strangelove is.

>>81465064
Maybe some evolution of man. The movie doesn't go any further. As I said, it shows up for 5 seconds. Bowman meets with one of the guys who went back to the ship from the first movie and he appears to him, redoing the ending scene with him jumping through stages of life for no reason and it ends with him as the Starchild again and disappears.

>>81465259
No, it's a direct sequel straight. They even went out of their way to rebuild all the sets for the Odyssey that Kubrick had destroyed.

>>81465884
listen, boy
I'll explain it to you

>Kubrick and Clarke make a story
>Kubrick makes a movie
>Clarke makes a book
>they are not adaptations of each other
>they are two tellings of the same story in different formats
>Clarke continues to release sequels to THE BOOK
>one of them, 2010, is made into a movie
>2010 is thus not a sequel to the 2001 movie, but rather an adaptation of the book that is a sequel to the 2001 BOOK

Theres nothing wrong with 2010.

>ALL THESE FILMS ARE YOURS EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE. ATTEMPT NO CRITICISM HERE.

>>81464950
Lmao I saw this coming

>>81466033
I understand the differences between the books and movies. I'm saying 2010 the movie is a sequel to the Kubrick 2001. They keep all the beats from 2001, show scenes from the first movie, rebuild the sets, bring back he actor who played Bowman and HAL is exactly the same with the same voice. So it is a direct sequel despite them being over a decade apart.

It's a film adaptation of a sequel to a book that has been adapted to be a direct sequel to a movie adapted from a book that came out over a decade ago.
