Philosophy and science-fiction

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2019)

This film, perhaps even more tha n the nobel it has been written concurrently with, is both a fantastic work of fiction, and a great work of thought. It explores the deepest instincts of Humanity: violence, insanity, xebophobia, but also the will of discovery and curiosity.
Since our first encounter with the apeman Moonwatcher (for which, especially after reading Clarke's novel, I do feel a great sense of sympathy), we understand that this is young to be the story of the fast, immediate development of Mankind, from the first meat meal to the conquest of outer space. But have we changed that much?
Obviously, it is a film that needs to be understood, and those who call it "Boeing" just do not catch it's meaning.
