A great movie from a even greater director

Rating: Null/10 (6 April 1999)

2001 is not an usual movie. Yesterday, I watched it for the fourth time and every time I watch it, I have a different interpretation of it. There are some scenes there are very metaphorical and everyone that see those scenes will have a different interpretation of it. What about the beginning, 'The Dawn of Man' or the ending scene?
At the scientific point of view, HAL is completely impossible. Even so, it's frightening. It has self-awareness and feelings. And he's ( note the 'he' instead of 'it' ) able to do things that it's wasn't programmed to do and presumably wasn't able to do. And how can that be possible?
Thanks Kubrick for such a great masterpiece.
