3 things I like about “2001: A Space Odyssey”

2001: A Space Odyssey was directed by Stanley Kubrick and is without a doubt my favorite movie. I like everything about it but if i had to single out 3 things it has to be these three things:

1.   A lot of movies today are made with the intent of being fun. You watch them not because you want to learn something new, but because you want to rest, take your mind of off something and just simply have fun. I used to watch just those kind of movies, but when i first watched 2001: A Space Odyssey my point of view changed. It wasn’t just a regular movie that made laugh, it was a movie that made me think.
2. When I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey i was still relatively young. I did understand somethings but not enough to understand the deeper meaning. When I watched it again i was mesmerized by the story so much that I could only think about it.
3. Stanley Kubrick is one of the best movie directors of all time, so of course almost all of his movies would be amazing including 2001. It had so many stunning and beautiful visuals and scenes that you can only wonder how they made it especially when it was made in 1968, when there wasn’t computer CGI. How did they do the scene where Frank Pole is exercising in the centrifuge? How did they even come up with the monkey scene, that was able to tell so much in such a small amount of time?

I think it’s safe to say that 2001: A Space Odyssey was a beautiful movie that was way ahead of it’s time.
