The coloring book of film

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2016)

What can you say about a film that inspired Tom Hanks to act, a film that inspired Christopher Nolan to direct? A film with hardly any dialogue or Plot asks the viewer to place their own subconscious into each frame. From the birth of man to first contact, 2001 is the most ambiguous film ever made, from when it was released until now. Their is no shame in not understanding the meaning of 2001: a space odyssey because the meaning is completely up to the viewer. 2001 was envisioned that way, written that way, and directed that way on purpose. Stanley Kubrick does not wish to inform the viewer but dares them to feel, whether it be the cold heart of silent space or a machine with more emotion than man. It still astonishes to this day that there is not a single computer effect in this entire movie just real props on a real stage making pure movie magic and to believe it was conceived before humans landed on the moon or did Stanley fake that?(wink* wink*). If one attempts to watch 2001 enter with a open heart and an open mind, prepare to be awed!
