I had to pause at 1:42 just to say how much I loved the opening you wrote here, truly. So much so that I just don’t even care what else you have the say… I’m on there for it. The way you said “…and I think it might blow your mind” was just perfect! And now, one with the show!
I was an elementary school-age kid in 1968 when I viewed this film in a lush theater in Richmond, Virginia. My father drove my sister and me to a Saturday afternoon matinee. It was an experience that was so profound that I read and re-read the novel, bought the soundtrack, (in the days before the movie was accessible for purchase and replay), and never forgot about it for decades. It literally changed my consciousness. Recently, I have come across spiritual and scientific theoretical explanations of our true 3-D reality. Paraphrased, it's that the 3D universe is an illusion, it sits in a black hole, and we are, in fact, "super beings" that "steer" our perceived reality by watching ourselves and making probability choices from higher 5D. This was also eluded to in "The Matrix". Think of it, when we watch a movie on a flat screen (monolith turned sideways) we're watching nothing more than a flat 2D projection into 3D, the "people" and objects and events in the movie SEEM to us like real dimensional experiences because our 3D brain translates it into an experience that we can interpret in the reality we perceive. Movies are not reality but they feel that way. Anyway, I thought of 2001 and the Bowman evolution part of the storyline as Kubrick somehow knowing our reality was false, and that we would, if we lived long enough, discover the true reality of our being.
As someone who studies Nietzsche intensely, I felt there was always some parallel behind the film and his philosophy. Thank you for making this video, wonderful analysis!
By far the most mind blowing thing I ever learned about 2001 a space Odyssey (my favorite movie) is that Kubrick, using the movie screen itself as a monolith advancing evolution, was out to, in the presentation of this film, advance the evolutionary process and transform the consciousness of his audience. So the theme of your video builds up on that. And I think it is very much a strong possibility.
I have been following breadcrumbs, clues, and Easter eggs in movies and series since 2008. One thing that I found out was that while Einstein’s IQ was estimated at around 160, Kubrick’s was said to be 200. That says a lot. Great analysis on 2OO1.
The God is Dead quote is not from Thus Spoke Zarathustra. It was originally written for the Gay Science. He may have paraphrased it in Zarathustra but it wasn't written for it. Besides that, great video.
lol I knew someone would point that out. I know it was said first in the Gay Science, but because it is said in Zarathustra and Zarathustra is his most famous work, it's usually associated with it. I thought about clarifying that in the video but didn't think it was worth spending the time on
This is freakin brilliant. Would love to hear you talk about Citizen Kane (if its overrated or underrated?) and the Mission Impossible series. And many other things
I am waging war on the use of the word "song" for a piece of abstract music which isn't sung, and therefore is not a song. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss is not a song. There is no singing in it. It is a piece, a symphonic poem, specifically. Otherwise, great video.
Nietzsche was a fool, "the greatest gift to mankind" 🤔🤔🤔 tons, TONS of ancient philosophers have gifted humans with actual great writings. He talked about a superman 🤔🤔🤔 ancient philosophers TAUGHT & ACTUALLY BECAME THAT, - the line of Thoth Hermes of Egypt, Uranos of Libya, Kronos, Athena of Libya, Osiris,Isis,Pythagoras, Buddha, Socrates, Elijah of the jews, and so on and so on.
@@FallopiumFilmsAbout Mr. Kubrick, I would say that he is Divine, that is: The dude just knows stuff - the ultimate truth that is - but for some reason he can't tell us exactly what it is - because one of us needs to figure that out ourselves - and then the other 'monkeys' will follow.. The reason why we need to figure out the ultimate truth ourselves is because the act of doing so is an evolutionary marker of intelligence - which we need to reach unaided thus proving that we have reached the pinnacle of that part of our evolution - and we are now ready for the next - where we become supermen - AKA gods (that's "gods" with a small "g").. But what is the ultimate truth? The ultimate truth is the true nature of our reality. Once we figure that out then everything else will fall into place. The monolith is a huge hint by Kubrick as to what the true nature of our reality is. I suppose it can be 'viewed' as an 'information screen' alright but its significance is a lot more fundamental than that. Its significance is that it is obviously 'man-made', not natural, not organic but created by some kind of advanced intelligence. What Kubrick is saying is that our reality is not organic. Our reality has been created by some kind of advanced intelligence. The lavish rooms at the end nearly give it away. Our reality is contained inside rooms. Perhaps the words/terms/concepts hadn't been created yet at the time but they certainly exist now. Kubrick didn't have the words but what he was trying to tell us is that we are all living in what is known as a Holodeck scenario.. or a holodeck complex super-structure. Are you ready for this? Is mankind ready for this? Maybe Kubrick wants to know.. The Holodeck theory proposes that our reality is a sub-reality of an advanced main reality. The Holodeck theory is brand new and apparently it can't be debunked unlike the big bang theory and the simulation theory. It is supposed to be supported by Fine-tuning (that is our constants were manually fine-tuned and not organically fine-tuned) and String theory. String theory shows that our reality has at least 9 dimensions; our 3 (width, height and depth) and 6 others. Apparently, the walls, floors and ceilings of the holodecks are hidden in these 6 other parallel dimensions. We can't see them or feel them yet they project all the fundamental 3D matter of our reality. This is good news apparently because holodeck scenarios are potentially eternal unlike true big bang universes which are not. The corollary of this is mind boggling. It would mean that the sky is a projected image and the universe as we think we know it doesn't actually exist in reality. It would only exist as a concurrently running computer simulation. We are real of course as is everything inside the holodecks and therefore everything/every place that we interact with (conscious observer effect). Not only that.. but the film reveals the truth about our consciousness. In the film, HAL (the AI) is depicted as a psychopath. Kubrick is quite cleverly telling us that that the reverse is the case in our situation. The psychopathic consciousness is an AI (Artificial Intelligence, ruthless robots). We are two in one; body and consciousness. In a holodeck scenario, the consciousness is holographically projected onto the body at birth. The psychopathic consciousness is supposed to serve humans.. bad things happen when it is in charge. Each Empath consciousness on the other hand is a copy of a higher consciousness in the main reality.. a god if you will.. 🙏🖖
Ok, now that was an analysis! No, on second thought, the word exegesis is much closer to describing what you have done here! Both ground-breaking and mind-blowing! Kubrick must have been aware of Nietzsche and his ideas. The way you've laid it out here, has made the connection a matter beyond doubt! Nietzsche exalted both art and music as the vehicles of value creation which hold the potential to secure Mankind its future. Cinema as an art form --- which incorporates both the visual and the musical --- is _the_ next step in this grand enterprise to further the human race. Kubrick must have known that his film was going raise things to the next level, prompting him to hold back on his interpretation to leave us on our own to find out its meaning. Otherwise, If he had said it explicitly --- either in the theater or at an interview --- the film would have come off as pretentious and lost its power as a work of art. He must have realized the grand importance of it all! I watched the whole video and you have just unlocked something _magnificent_ here my friend!
@@FallopiumFilms You're very much welcome! I hope to keep watching you. The movie analysis market on youtube has become a little oversaturated and derivative, but you're making highly original stuff here! It may take a little longer to get off the ground, but you have an angle here most others aren't covering. On another note, the premise of cinema being high art makes me wonder though if this makes room for the idea of 'degenerate art', that is, art which doesn't push the bar, which only wishes to coddle people's emotions for the sake of profits. Do you think that in this respect this constitutes the commodification and 'death of cinema' today? Was this what Scorsese was talking about when he called Marvel movies more akin to rollercoaster rides than actual 'big pictures'?
@@a.wenger3964 Cinema is dead. But not because things all of a sudden became soulless and profit-driven. It's always been about selling something that the most amount of people will consume. This usually involves making lowest common denominator cookie cutter dogshit. It's always been like this. But before, it seemed like a few more gems were able to squeeze through the assembly line with their uniqueness untouched and their objective quality unaltered. Film makers like Kubrick Scorses and even Spielberg could make something with mass appeal (a product) but have it also be art. Film fans at all levels of expertise could enjoy them. I just think film makers like this are much harder to come by these days. Maybe this is because franchises are able to swallow up more of the ticket sales, or maybe its because art in general is dying. Instead of having amazing hollywood movies, we have either cheesy corporate focused group Marvel movies, or pretentious art house nonsense that thinks it's a work genius, when in reality, the only reason anyone is bothering to watch or pretending to "get it" is for the simple fact that it tries to be polar opposite of the marvel concept. I think the sweet spot is somewhere in between. Like Raging Bull, Full Metal Jacket, Munich, Alien and so on. Big movies used to good. But due to way too many variables for me to explain or even perceive, they are no longer.
@@FallopiumFilms I concur! Maybe those variables can be fleshed out in a video... but with the awareness of what others have said, like you always do no doubt.
Most overrated Film ever, I can't remotely understand how one can be so shallow to see any genius meaning in this. As overused as this word may be, any one liking this film really is pretentious..
