Movie And A Room

"Look, Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you." ~ Hal-9000


2001 - A Space Odyssey is one of my all-time favorite movies and Stanley Kubrick is one of my all-time favorite directors.  Having grown up in the space age, 2001 gave me the power to dream big.  That is to dream of the possibility that we are not alone and that, one day, we will reach out across the incomprehensible vastness of space and time and find other civilizations. Sir Arthur C. Clarke wrote this epic screenplay in conjunction with Stanley Kubrick in 1968 yet it feels timeless and could easily have been made in the last 20 years. The movie's relevance remains perpetual.  Of course, the CGI would be better but not by much since the Kubrick's attention to detail in realism was near fanatical.  The film became a classic on its day of release and has since caused much discussion on its underlying messages to humanity.  It was a gift from a couple of rare talents to the world.
