The movie about everything

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2016)

2001: A Space Odyssey was released in 1968 and It was directed by Stanley Kubrick, one of the most versatile filmmakers of all time.
By the time of the movie's release Stanley Kubrick has made a name for himself with films like Paths of Glory, Spartacus, Lolita and Dr. Strangelove. Lolita and Dr. Strangelove met with both critical and commercial acclaim along some serious controversy. It was no different with 2001 either.
The film focuses on our past,present and future. Each act has It's different feel as they are told in different ways.
First act is slow and mysterious,the second is fun and relaxing,and the climax is unlike anything people have ever seen.
The way these acts are connected is loose and it makes for a very mysterious atmosphere. The use of classical music is very smart and It makes the movie that more ageless. Special effects are one of the best and most creative.
The movie is not for everyone, It might be slow and confusing for some,but being in the right mindset and thinking about these ideas makes this a very compelling film to watch.
