This Matthew guy is annoying
My English is hindering to write what i really think about 2001 . I like it much .
But i know that it is too long and sometimes boring. In this generation more then those days .
But please , can he not see that it is not about one human or a group of human ? It is about the evolution of the human race.
Man like ape evolves to make tools (thus the flying crap
) and makes an artificial intelligence ( in a way another kind of living thinking species )
and is hunted by it . But in the end evolves to another form of superior species .
This is the story !You can interpret it on other levels . But saying that it is about nothing is like not seeing the forest because of the trees..
And when you judge films (it is the same on other things ) you have to consider the condition of the days it is made.
No one had seen such images until this film . Computer generated images (Mathew says
nothing there too.. He don't know about film history ) was used too on those days.
Yes it is long and so ... But think about please . Why is " Bronenosets Potyomkin "
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015648/ one of the classics ?
I have seen it . And maybe there are tons of better videos on Youtube that are maybe better now . But this is because of films like these.
Do you know The Godfather ? I know you know it probably . I still love this film . This film is glorifying murderers... But it has its place too in film history .
As i grow up my viewpoint of films changed too...
Anyway... But please if you evaluate films don't evaluate it from winkers view.
This is not towards you CCC . I mean it in general .
Cheers.
