Looking for a meaning: 95% of people don't get it but they like it

Rating: 8/10 (23 January 2020)

2001 is a film with wacky imagery. Ahead of its time. No doubts. But it got no story and no meaningful ending. The film exists but some people don't find it meaningful. I have watched the film 3 times. Here is my take away. 1) You know the past is fixed, it couldn't be changed. 2) The future is the also fixed and it also can't be changed.
The 2nd point is hard, very very hard for most people to accept. It means everything is predestinated, no matter how big (Space) or small (Life). The way you think and the things you do are predestinated.
Back to the 2 hours movie. In this vast universe, hey there is life. And everything just moves accordingly as they are predestinated.
The ending means everybody can now go home, life as usual, continue to have sex and reproduce, let life runs its course until one day it reached the end. The universe too, runs it own course, one day it will end.
5% of people get it but they don't like it.
If you get it, you know there is no parallel universe for you to escape. :)
