When I saw the docking scene of the space ship Dragon on the ISS a few days ago, I thought I was watching 2001. The interior and exterior of Dragon, the approach to the ISS, the slow docking maneuver ... This alone shows the foresight of Kubrick.
The film did not only inspire other films - it seems that Kubrick had a crystal ball at his disposal.
I feel the black monolith as a kind of black box artwork, which allows various interpretations about how modern man came to his cleverness and how he might rise even higher in the future.
The deeply touching monkey scenes remind us how much their genes are still in us: The constant eating, the power over others, fear of more powerful beings, mistrust, violence.
The film will still appear modern and realistic in hundreds of years.
