I love 2001: A Space Odyssey because it is a mystery and a moving painting. It is cinema and sci fi as art.
The first time I saw the movie I watched it when I was nine years old. I don’t know why, but I was enthralled form the first shot and loved watching a movie with no words for such a long periods of time.
I think I am a weirdo.
If you’ve ever wondered just what the hell Kubrick was trying to say in 2001, check out this site that attempts to explain the movie’s message.
And if you like 2001: A Space Odyssey, then you should check out Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain.
