(1968)2001: A Space Odyssey 1968
A group of primates fight in the African desert at the dawn of humanity. Suddenly, a black stone appears that mysteriously affects one of these ape-men and allows him to use the bone as a weapon: the first tool of human ancestors has been found. In 2001, 4 million years after the previous scene, a spacecraft discovers the same black rock behind mysterious signals from the moon. on the lunar surface. Signals are going to Jupiter. Eighteen months later on Discovery, astronauts David Bowman and Frank Poole went into Jupiter's shadow. The spaceship is equipped with the world's most advanced artificial intelligence computer called HAL 9000. And of course, the latter also has their own plans... Based on the story of Arthur C. Clarke, this movie was considered "Icon" by many. a masterpiece, but some didn't like it. It is clear that "2001" contains many subtexts, many of them religious. Even in his lifetime, Kubrick did not remove a single question mark, as he wanted people to be confused. Perhaps the most famous of the computers that appear in movies, HAL is the "live" computer that plays the most important role in this business. The movie, which shows scenes on the moon, was shot over a year ago and was completed before humans set foot on Earth. After Neil Armstrong's travels, it is surprisingly striking that Kubrick adheres down to the tiniest detail of as-yet-undiscovered facts. The year 2001 undoubtedly defines the biggest step separating humans from animals as the emergence of "intelligence" and asks one question among thousands of questions: What's the next difference? What is the next step in evolution? Was it an outside force that started the first one? If so, what awaits us this time?
