WTF, It was made in 1968!

Rating: 9/10 (26 September 2015)

The first time I saw it, I was really confused by the story (it looks very simple), especially the mysterious ending. When I explored the details, I tried to figure out the logical of the stories. It's about human evolution, from first time using tools to space travel, and to the future. The film is composed of lots of story fragments, alongside with the profound monolith, which is a meaningful symbol the director wants to express.
Stanley Kubrick was a genius of a film maker. I was impressed by its classical background music and marvelous special effects. When I realized it was produced in 1968, I was shocked! It was a avant-garde science fiction epic and so far ahead of its time. It predicted the future of 35 years later. And some was described in the film we have achieved now but some is still on the way.
Although it's a hard-to-understand film and needs us philosophize the meaning of space, future, humankind, technology, etc. I really recommend you to watch the classic film and enjoy the process of exploring your mind.
