The Bottom Line: a great thing to try
Review: *Disclaimer - This is a formulation in using Echoes (a song by Pink Floyd) as the soundtrack to 2001 a Space Odyssey


Whenever a musical change occurs in Echoes, there is one on film. This is a fascinating thing to watch/hear. Put on...

Professional Reviews
  (12/01/2003, p.11, Premiere Staff): "With 2001, Stanley Kubrick proved that a sci-fi movie could be philosophical rather than pulpy, profound rather than pedantic."

Quotes from the Movie
  "The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error."--HAL 9000 (voice of Douglas Rain)

"I enjoy working with people."--HAL 9000

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."--Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea)
"I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."--HAL
"What's the problem?"--Dave
"I think you know what the problem is just as much as I do."--HAL
"What are you talking about, Hal?"--Dave
"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it."--HAL

This Discovery University Production examines the making of a true cinema classic the Stanley Kubrick-directed Arthur C. Clarke-penned 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. An eerie and intense prediction of the future the 1968 film brought Clarke's sci-fi vision to the big screen in epic proportions. In this program film historians and artificial intelligence experts discuss the film's production and legacy. Clips from the film take on new meaning as biographers of Clarke and Kubrick offer commentary on the pair's collaboration and the technical challenges that came into play during the film's creation. 2001: A SPACE Odyssey also features interviews with Sir Arthur C. Clarke himself.
