A Space for the Imagination
When I first saw 2001 I thought the baby(o star child)at the end of the film REPRESENTED a new world or planet but sadly I've read so many essays and articles about this film that in a way influenced my personal opinion.Maybe the person who called 2001"a film without message" was right,maybe it means nothing:The Black Monolith,so solemn almost mystical is like a crucifix hanging on walls in christian homes as a mighty object but really,don't mean a thing.
I dismissed the religious theories because Kubrick was an "Atheistic" and I dont see him doing "A God's tale";or philosophical interpretations either.I take 2001 Space Odyssey for what it is "an astonishing visual film(the beauty of it).The astronaut David Bowman finished an unconcluded mission"alone",his partner dies(he seems to be his twin brother or something)Bowman disconnects HAL 9000(the computer)after that he submerges himself in"Jupiter and Beyond" with flood of colors,forms and surreal landscapes,our eyes are wide open as Bowman,his distorted face is shocking,we see more lights and masses this become A Personal Odyssey maybe "mental",into subconscious?.
The Big Question:is the baby/fetus an E.T? OR MAYBE A New Man,DISCONNECTED from technology(the weapons),the truth is more close to NIETZSCHE,we dont know but... who cares?.2001 it's great and controversial I liked the ambiguity,maybe that was Kubrick intention to incentive the audience to think for themselves.
My Opinion maybe is wrong but that's not the point,if I THOUGHT the star child was a planet maybe it is not far from the truth,somebody said:"A Head/mind is a world".
AH! WONDERFUL SOUNDTRACK especially requiem for Soprano,Atmosphere and Adventures... ENJOY IT! 9/10
