2001 Space Odessay

This movie is much different from others. There are few spoken lines. I think that director thought that the content of this movie should be created by audience's own imagination. I guess there are many different views by people's understanding.

First of all this movie started from the dawn of mankind. There were a lot of monkey making a fuss around the rectangular iron board. I could not understand at first what they are doing. I read in explanation column of a web site that the rectangular board was sent from Jupiter. At last part of scene we could see that same rectangular board in the 4th dimension room. So I guess this board was sent from this old man of Jupiter.

This movie was created by imaging in 2001, about 30 years from that time. It became quite popular that ordinary people travel to the moon and live there. However travel to space has not became popular yet. The Sean of inside air ship was interesting, such as a ball point pen was flying in the air and a flight attendant standing upside down.

At last the astronaut broke Hal 9000 by very simple tool, driver. This contrast was very interesting. Artificial Intelligence could not win against very simple tool, driver. When Hal 9000 did not obey the astronaut's words "open the door", he decided to release his colleague into space and open the door of spaceship by using the emergency bottan. After he entered the space ship, he broke Hal 9000.　This was big decision. This astronaut had already known that he would become alone in the space and never go back to the earth, if he would breaks Hal 9000. But he did. That was his choice. If he did not break Hal 9000 ,there might be some possibility to return to the earth. He did not wanted to be controlled by computer、even if he remained alone in the space. He wanted to live by his own thinking. Thise conflict between man and machine was very interesting. Human being could feel humiliation very much if we were under controled computers.
