00:00In 1964, after the success of his dark nuclear comedy, Dr. Strangelove, Stanley Kubrick began
00:10a major motion picture. It was to be a film about abstract scientific ideas, the origin
00:17and the future of the human species, life in the cosmos, the evolution of our machines
00:21into artificial intelligence. Even to this day, Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey remains
00:28the all-time great science fiction film. Its ground-breaking photographic techniques still
00:33influence modern special effects. But as our films get ever more spectacular, 2001 reminds
00:40us that it's the ideas behind the spectacle that are still the most important special
00:44effect of all.
00:59I get chills. I'm feeling them right now, right this moment as we speak. This happens every
01:04time I see the film. I get chills. It was, I think, one of the great moments in the history
01:12of the cinema.
01:19It takes in all of creation, the great themes of nature and art and the, you know, it talks
01:25about the limits of the human mind. I think that it has such a visionary vastness that to
01:32this day, I am in awe of it.
01:352001 became an absolute obsession with him, a complete obsession. There was so much riding
01:44on him. It was, it was one of the first serious, serious science fiction pictures made.
01:53Stanley wanted to create a myth. And I think he succeeded. A myth should contain all sorts
01:59of levels and different people should have different interpretations. And that, of course, is exactly
02:04what's happened. I mean, there's a whole literature about the meaning of 2001.
02:082001.
02:38Fear.
02:39I agree that no one wasn't something.
02:40It's true storyline any one was just to find anni.
02:41That, I know it's accidental, but it was disappointing.
02:42Like I said.

02:45The deliverance is not even if you look any less likely, the truth is different than the
02:46world.
