2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A Space Odyssey is a science fiction book andfeature film from 1968, born out of a collaboration between filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and writer/inventor Arthur c. Clarke. Both are based on The Sentinel, a short story by Clarke. Kubrick was looking for contact with Clarke to put together a science fiction film. This provided a scenario that formed the basis for both the book of Clarke as the film of Kubrick. Both works deal with themes such as the human evolution, artificial intelligence, technological developments, reincarnation and extraterrestrial life.

2001: A Space Odyssey was in ' 68 mixed received. There was criticism, but also extreme praise. Contrary to what is often claimed, the film was a big hit commercially, already at the premiere. In 1968 was only Funny Girl just slightly more popular. In the list of most successful films in the 1960s state 2001 at number 11. In a poll among critics for the magazine Sight & Sound 2001 finished in the top ten. The film received four Oscar nominations and won for best Visual effects. [2]  In 1991, the film was by the United States Library of Congress placed in the National Film Registry.'''

In 1982 Clarke wrote a sequel to his book, 2010: Odyssey Two. A film, directed by Peter Hyams, appeared in 1984 under the title 2010: The Year We Make Contact. Both in the first part as the sequel were roles played by Keir Dullea and Douglas Rain as astronaut Dave Bowman as the voice of the intelligent computer HAL-9000. Star actorRoy Scheider, however, took the role of Heywood Floyd from William Sylvester.

Then image of the Earth rising above the Moon, while the Sun above the Earth comes out, all three celestial bodies in a line. The story is then divided into four chapters. ===Dawn of Man[ Edit] === The costume of the APE menModel of the spaceship Orion III to the MoonThe monolith in contemporary guise on the hackers Hackers at Large festival.The first part, "Dawn of Man" titled, begins in prehistoric Africa, where a group of apes by a desert-like landscape wanders. They are looking for food, but one of them is killed by a Leopard and a rival group chases them away from a water source. The next morning they wake up next to a large, black, rectangular monolith, which in an unexplained way and without it the great apes have noticed, there has fallen. The stone is examined. It seems their to give the "spark" of human intelligence. Not long after he discovered one of the monkeys how a bot can use as Tools, especially if weapon. They are now hunters, that kill and eat their meat can tapirs . The following day they go back to the water source and kill the leader of the other group. The killing monkey throws the bone into the air. A match cut to a shot of a satellite into orbit, millions of years later. ===TMA-1[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After the match cut follows the second, Untitled part. It is 1999. A space shuttle brings a scientist, Dr. Heywood Floyd (William Sylvester), to a space station in Earth orbit. He also stops to an excavation on the moon. Engineers have a strange magnetic monolith discovered in the Tycho crater, by them "TMA-1", "Tycho Magnetic Anomaly One". This resembles the monolith that found the apes from the first part. Floyd and his staff investigate the stone, where they discover that he is deliberately buried millions of years ago.But while they want to make a picture of them with the stone, the Sun's rays fall on a stone, which oorverscheurend high signal in the direction of Jupiter. ===Jupiter Mission<span class="mw-editsection" len="345" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Eighteen months later, a space mission on the way to Jupiter ( Saturnis this in the book). Astronauts Dr. David "Dave" Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Dr. Francis "Frank" Poole (Gary Lockwood) stand with their fellow ruimtereizigers, three fellow scientists in cryonics sleep, on board the spaceship Discovery One. The ship is controlled by the onboard computer, HAL 9000, endowed with artificial, human-like intelligence and speech ability (voiced by Douglas Rain). By the spacemen, he is considered a sixth crew member.HAL is solely on board aware of the reason of the trip, to examine the relationship between the mysterious monolith on the Moon and the planet Jupiter.

However, they can discover no errors to the component. This is remarkable, because HAL would have such a State of perfection that he can't make such mistakes. According to HALL itself is it to them that they can't discover what is missing to the component, and he suggests the faulty component back again so that the problem comes up automatically. Dave and Frank go outside hearing away from the computer and decide to disable HAL if nothing is found to fail to the component. They know, however, that HALL has already liplezend their plans intercepted.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">As Frank leaves the spaceship to place the original item again, he comes to life through a by HAL caused accident. Also on its own initiative the three frozen kills HAL scientists by their life support systems off. Only Dave, who had left the ship in order to save Frank, manages to survive. HAL refuses to let him, however, since Dave would jeopardise the mission if he disable HAL. Using the explosive bolts in case of emergency can open the Airlock know Dave to enter anyway, despite the risk of suffocation because he had no space helmet included. Once inside he goes on way to HAL's memory Center. Despite HAL's protests and attempts to reassure Dave, he knows to turn it off. Eventually HAL sings, while his voice getting slower and slower, a children's song, Daisy Bell. A video message from Dr. Floyd appears, which reveals the true reason of the mission. ===Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite<span class="mw-editsection" len="361" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dave leaves the Discovery with a pod and comes again a monolith against. The power of the monolith does transcendhim. He ends up in a tunnel of colored light and alienating sounds (the "Star Gate") and travels with great speed through space and time, while he was en route the strangest encounter celestial bodies and other astronomical phenomena. This psychedelic trip was described as "a Visual LSD-trip".

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The journey ends in an eighteenth-century-looking, lavishly decorated bedroom. Repeatedly he sees older versions of themselves, with the perspective always passes to the older version until it finally see himself on his deathbed. A new monolith appears and turns him into a fetus-like creature that, enveloped by a sphere of light, travels through space: the so-called "Star Child" (Star child). In the last scene returns the orphans back to our solar system and it looks out over Earth. ==Division Of Roles<span class="mw-editsection" len="342" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ==Production<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Writing Process<span class="mw-editsection" len="343" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Stanley Kubrick, just after he became Dr. Strangelove (1964) had been completed, fascinated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and decided to make the "proverbial good science fiction film". To do this, he sought contact with the on the then Ceylon -based science fiction writer Arthur c. Clarke.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">During initial discussions they called it project How the Solar System Was Won, a humorous reference to How the West Was Won, 1962a spectacle film. Just like that movie would be divided into their project clearly separated episodes. Clarke suggested to one of his short stories, The Sentinel from 1948 (eventually published in 1950), to use as a starting point for the film.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It was intended that the novel was written first and then the scenario. In practice, however, that ideas for the film at the same time as writing the novel emerged and affected the writing process. Chosen was to write to both at the same time, making changes in the scenario could be integrated in the novel and the other way around. Both writers are named as responsible for the scenario on the title role. It was originally intended that to know in the novel was awarded, but officially State that only on Clarkes name. Think that Kubrick deliberately refrained from accepting the novel, so that the movie would come out earlier. Eventually the novel appeared later than the movie.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">On 22 February 1965 MGM announced that it would finance Kubrick's latest film titled Journey Beyond the Stars. In an interview with The New Yorker shortly afterwards compared Kubrick the film with a "space Odyssey", a spaceOdyssey. In april he changed the title officially to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Clarke kept a journal about his involvement in the film. Some notes of which appeared in the book The Lost Worlds of 2001, published in 1972.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">It was first intended to HAL, the onboard computer, to give the name "Athena", the Greek goddess of wisdom, and to give her a female persona and voice. According to Clarke is it just a coincidence that the three letters from his name, Hall, in the alphabet directly precede the letters of the computer company IBM.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-3" len="175" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [3]  according to the novel does the name "Heuristic programmed Algorithmic computer".

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After the Elimination of HALL sang a children's song, Daisy Bell. This is a reference to the first computer of IBM from 1961 that the first singing computer was. ===Set design and construction<span class="mw-editsection" len="349" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">To the sets and props from the film as realistic as possible, hired Kubrick experts to advise him. Arthur c. Clarke's suggestion, he took space advisers Frederick Ordway and Harry Long in service. Using their contacts in the space and aviation they could collect a large amount of documentation.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-4" len="175" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [4]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Lange was a member of the design team, and was responsible for much of the design of the sets and props in the film, including many of the hardware. Production designer Anthony Masters made his designs reality with the help of a team of more than a hundred employees. The production of certain props, including space suits and instrument panels, was outsourced to professional aerospace and machine companies.No prop came into the film without permission of Kubrick.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">For the shooting inside the spaceship Discovery became a huge wheel designed, whose rotation a change of the direction of gravity, with the ' normal ' simulated gravity, with always the same direction, not to make it look like exist. Kubrick made a thirty tons heavy "Ferris wheel" built by Vickers-Armstrongsaviation the British Builder. The monstrosity cost $ 750,000. ===Recordings<span class="mw-editsection" len="338" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Filming began on 29 december 1965 in the Shepperton Studios, Shepperton, England. In 1966 they were continued in the MGM-British Studios in Borehamwood. Initially the movie would be included in 3-stripCineramafilm, but this was later on the advice of special photographic effects supervisor Douglas Trumbull changed in Super Panavision 70. Recordings ended on 7 July 1966. In March 1968 the Kubrick film, edited and introduced by the latest changes for the General premiere in april.

Kubrick wanted a realistic-looking film. He preferred always realistic effects above cheap and quick. This was eventually $ 6.5 million of the budget spent on special effects and the film was completed just two years after the recordings were also finally finished.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">A good example of this is the use of front projection. This technique was selected to the "Dawn of Man" sequence on an African background playback. To paste a lot of filming on location disadvantages: apart from the fees also depends on the weather conditions. Other techniques (a painted background, blue screens, rear projection), however, were not realistic enough. Kubrick chose the more realistic projections of front projection, which are projected on a screen before the set. This technique, however, was never used in a feature film, just in smaller settings as in television studios and by photographers. For the recordings was a projection screen set up with a record high of 12 metres. Also the largest projectors were not. This 4 x 5 projectors would at such a big screen a very pixelated image projecting. With the help of Tom Howard, the special effects supervisor of MGM, a special 8 x 10 projector developed. Also, they used the largest, by water cooled arc lamp that was available.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-5" len="175" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [5]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">To create the illusion of weightlessness , stuntmen were studio hung upside down from the ceiling. Often they had to spend long hours on their head. By a pen to a rotating glass disc to confirm, this seemed to float.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The colored lights in the "Star Gate" sequence were scored by slitscanfotografie of moving images of paintings. Douglas Trumbull designed specially for the film a machine, which this technique could bring into being for film. In addition, effects achieved with color filters and chemicals. ==Awards and nominations<span class="mw-editsection" len="352" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">2001: A Space Odyssey was nominated for an Academy Award four times, best art direction, best director and best screenplay.

Kubrick manages the film far above the science fiction genre to lift. The film is rather an experience, a philosophical exercise, and of its kind totally innovative. The film is about evolution: as the protagonist Dave dies at the end of the film and is reborn as Star child suggests Kubrick that humanity might just disappear, or will blend into a different dimension.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The filmmaker leaves with his four-contacts-narrative structure in this film the usual linear storytelling. In the opening sequence we see one of the most spectacular transitions ever. At the beginning we see a bunch of great apes, which at one point the weapon-a simple piece of bone-invent. As one of the monkey throws the bone into the air, is it about in a spaceship. Suddenly we are than four million years later in evolution.

Instead, he encouraged the public to give their own interpretations to the film, and thus their own ideas and theories. In an interview with Playboymagazine from 1968 he said:


 * You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film — and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level — but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-7" len="175" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [7]
 * Speculate freely about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film and the public means that it worked such speculate deep to hit-but I refuse a direction for 2001 to dictate which someone would feel that compelled to follow at the risk to miss the punch line.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film is therefore analysed and interpreted by several people. The book of Arthur c. Clarke seems to be able to help in this: for example, it is brighter on the origin of the monolith, a kind of tool of an alien race with which they help less-developed species in their evolutionary progress. The hotel room scene at the end of the film is explained in the book as a kind of alien Zoo, in which the aliens the human habitat have tried to imitate with the help of taken care of television broadcasting.
