Jul 7, 2008 - the monoliths (see* Von Neumann probe) one placed on Earth for our first moment of self-awareness (realization of weaponry), one buried by a type III civilization during our inception on the moon for when we reach the next stage (colonizing moon), sends coordinates to monolith 3 (when we qualify to next stage) pulls Dave into an Einstein-Rosen bridge built by advanced beings long gone. Dave , witnesses the beginning, his "future" as an old man, and transcends to become Type III starchild. End.

Jul 7, 2008 - I don't get it? What do you mean it sounds hilarious without sound?

Arkanj3l Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - If you watch it without sound it's pretty funny.I guess that's what I meant.

Jul 7, 2008 - That film has no sense, it is a simple colourful succesion of photograms for stupid people. 2 hours of film with no sense, and this cut is the worst of all them, not only hilarious, it is really stupid, stupid, stupid...

metraccobar Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - the movie makes sense, you just need to watch it again and stop being stupid. more than half of the movie is meant to be aesthetically pleasing, not built on plot plus the story is fucking crazy if you realise it, which im sure valmont won't.

Jul 7, 2008 - No. It is Ligeti's Atmospheres. However this Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite sequence has a montage of three works (Ligeti sued later for having his music distorted): Requiem, Atmospheres and Adventures

Jul 7, 2008 - read the book

eliezer017 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Thanks. I'll look for these pieces. At 1969 it was considered to be the music of future, at least at 2001...No complaints, we have had Pink Floyd and progressive rock much earlier than that...

Jul 7, 2008 - Those freeze-frames at 1:57, 2:20 and 2:50 showing the horror on Bowman's face creep me the hell OUT.

Jul 7, 2008 - Dose any one have any idea how this light effect is achieved?? this kind of effect is seen in allot of 80's movies.

MajorTomARSE Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The term is slit-scan I believe, its achieved by holding the camera shutters open and moving light or objects passed the camera.

Ubernarrator Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I have a semi-funny story about the novel. I had finished the novel as required by my high school's summer reading on the same day that "Dreamin'" by Weezer became downloadable content for Rock Band. When you're sleep-deprived at three in the morning, the "Dream Sequence" (very distinctive part of the song) kind of matches this part of the book.

Jul 7, 2008 - well, to be fair that movie never claimed to be historically accurate. Also, it was based off the graphic novels and not the historical battle.

itsjustjames Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - omg im wathcing this movie hikgh and if you look at the hallucinations or whatever or light show you see fetus's and babies being born this whole segment is about the birth of man,give me a thumbs up sign for giving you that crazy fact!!!!!!

loostdog Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - esse filme tem uma estranheza unica... um terror cosmico-existencial... que eu particularmente temo e adoro... outro filme que tem esse ar é "beneath the planet of apes"

raherecolston Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Thats right MajorTom. The special effects guy, Douglas Trumbull, used a lot of slit scan footage on this movie. At the time nobody had seen anything like it , not without the aid of the pharmacuetical industry anyway. No CGI used at all, it simply didnt exist in those days.

MajorTomARSE Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Not all of the Beyond the Infinite stargate segment was slitscan though. After the effect changes from vertical to horizontal and you see the "big bang" from then onward is a combination of paints that Kubrick filmed early in a New York studio I believe. Then during odd colored landscape scene, that footage is most likely left over background flight footage from Dr. Strangelove.

Snweater Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Yeah. That's "fact"...
