The movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” came out in the year 1968. It is a sci-fi film which was directed and produced by Stanley Kubrick. It’s based on Arthur C. Clarke‘s short story “The Sentinel” which was published in 1951. The script was written by both Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
The film depicts the journey into the unknown in search of extraterrestrial life. The crew is made up of 5 humans, three of which were sleeping during the trip and a HAL 9000 robot.
The soundtrack has used many of the classical songs that compliment the scenes amazingly well, such as Johann Strauss II‘s 1866 Blue Danube Waltz, Richard Strauss‘ symphonic poem Also sprach Zarathustra György Ligeti’s Atmosphères and the works of Aram Khachaturian
I know that when you write a review about anything you have to say the good and the bad stuff, and I have tried to find something I didn’t like about the movie, but I just couldn’t. To me everything about it is perfect, from the story, the directing to the soundtrack. Everything is amazing and goes so well together. I think “2001: A Space Odyssey” is one of the, if not the best movie of all time. While watching the movie you will find you eyes glued to the screen unable to look away and after you see it you will never be able to stop thinking about it.
