Not boring.

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2014)

The first few times I watched 2001 I didn't get it,I was young,where were all the Ray guns and aliens? But then I grew up,gave it another try and to my great surprise,was absolutely mesmerized and left in a beautiful daze,similar to what I imagine a religious experience to be.I am an artist and deep fan of movies,they have changed my life in so many ways on so many levels,but none more so than this flick,Kubrick's masterwork,my favorite film and my favorite piece of art,period. And art it is,beyond doubt,like the Mona Lisa's smile,there is something beyond at work here,it may take a little longer to find it,but when you do,it's so worth it. So,really this is less about the film and more about those that view it,there is room for every kind of taste ( except for liking Transformers or Adam Sandler movies,that should be a crime), and mine and many others leads us down a more thoughtful,less action packed road,I'm not so sure what is so pretentious about that. I like Hitchcock,Herzog,Scott,Nolan,Refn,Spielberg,comic book and scary movies,all kinds of flicks,but I don't require it all to be explained,handed to me on a plate,in a quick fashion for it to be any good,I enjoy thinking,it's part of the fun.
