2001 Space Odyssey Notes

NOTES:

Introduction: black screen, music, intro is similar to opera intro

Unique clips all throughout beginning- sunset and nature clips

"Dawn of Man"

Empty >>Only nature- significance of showing the monkeys first out of anything(evolution of monkey to man)

Monolith- random rectangle clue- w a build in music

Dramatic cut between these really suspenseful clips and the really calm ones (loud music then silence)

Monkey shattering bones- direct result is technology, innovation and imagination

Introduced the bones to other monkeys and used them as clubs to murder intruders on watering hole

Transition from bone to satellite- iconic scene

Clips of all the technological advances

Supposed to represent 2001- 21 years ago

"grip shoes" to keep flight attendant grounded in space

"voiceprint identification" - technology like siri 

"picture phone" is equivalent to todays facetime

Weird stuff happening at Clavius (where he is headed now) according to other people staying at hotel

With monkey's there was that separation of groups and we are starting to see that now in future

Space food is boxes with straws compared to the dry freeze space food we have today

No people of color at all

Clavius made a significant discovery and they need a cover story

Was this item put here on clavius on purpose

Monolith where they landed same as the monkeys makes a high pitched noise change occurs when they touch it

HAL 9000>> can reproduces or mimic human brain- foolproof and incapable of error (error will be made), programed to seem as though he has emotions

Hibernation chambers used to reserve resources

Hal>> IBM- international business machines (referencing things done in the past)

The interaction between Hal and the crew is a little bit weird

Something went wrong and he is required to go an fix it (famous scene of his red space suit in white ship) iconic suit


 


Arm buttons on sleeve - IBM

Eye of hal- red light 

Helmet is scanning the ship implying a screen inside of his helmet (the advanced technology) 

She is informing them to let the systems fail

Hal is blaming human error on the discrepancy between her and the twin 9000

They go into the pod and turn off communication systems so they can discuss hal's integrity

Hal controls the entire ship

Hal is always watching and he read their lips to find out their plans 

Hal attempted to kill Dave's partner off for doubting her and then lied to Dave saying she didn’t know what happened

Computer malfunction- ends the life of other crew members, life functions terminated

First killing machine is Hal

She lets Dave know she knows about his and Fank's plan and strands him

Scene where he is inside brain of Hal is iconic


Hal begging him to not kill her switch

Hal- "Im afraid dave" repetition (something that a robot or AI shouldn’t feel or understand)

"I can feel it " repetition (something that a robot or AI shouldn’t feel or understand)

Jupiter- he has his acid trip and finds himself in a room where he comes face to face with his future self

Very poetic interpretation - aging and the end of man

Him getting older and older

"dusk of man"

monolith meets him face to face at the foot of his bed. THE END of man

Fetus next to earth
