I was seventeen when this hit the theaters. I and a few friends got blitzed and went in to see the movie and I was disappointed. The actual plot of this movie was hard to fathom back then and I still don’t think it’s all that great of a movie.
The birth of this world, the world we live in today, came from when he, the old man at the Royal Institution of London, held up those two black sticks in his hand and placed them close together
We've yet to see an A.I. villain come close to Hal 9000; we've yet to see a sci-fi spectacle come close to 2001: A Space Odyssey...Interstellar was good, but not even close.
Only Kubrick would dare use such brilliantly challenging music; true art to complement the art on the screen. Not even the great Alex North could compete; his score was groundbreaking, but only Ligeti's music had that power required...shame North's intro wasn't used, I think it's as good as Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra, but I doubt it would be as effective as a motif the way Zarathustra was in certain scenes (especially the bone/spaceship cut).
Hal begging Dave to stop over and over, in a panic, but unable to sound panicked and only able to use his normal calm, slow, soft voice, even though he's terrified, is so so disturbing because it's basically a recreation of the nightmares everyone has where they try to scream but no sound comes out of their mouths, you want to scream but you just can't
I don't think this piece was entirely made to sound lonely. I think it also evokes a feeling of strange, isolating beauty. It's pretty nice in that sense. Like, you're very alone and you don't have a lot to do, but this song sort of makes you feel like you've made the best of it, and that you're at peace with the isolation. You're just focused on living life, and you don't really need anything more.
