  Arthur C Clarke famously said of both his novel and the movie, &quot;If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. &nbsp;We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered.&quot;

  You are the only reactor I have ever seen who noticed the early man apes were walking more upright after experiencing the monolith.

  My mom dropped 10-year-old me off at the local theater back in 1968 to watch it during a matinee in an almost empty theater. &nbsp;No one else was interested. &nbsp;I sat right dead center of a 70mm projector, and it completely blew me away. &nbsp;Impressionable me was never the same. &nbsp;I love Kubrick&apos;s work.

  As someone who did see it in 1968 (I&apos;m 69 now), to see a young person in 2024 show so much enthusiasm, insight and love for this fantastic movie gives me hope for the future of the human race! &nbsp;AI or no AI!

  I love that this movie doesn&apos;t try to explain what happens. It challenges the audience to come to its own conclusions. Its not a movie...its art.

  &quot;IMaybe we&apos;re taking the next evolutionary leap? ... He&apos;s like an enlightened being &nbsp;now ... I feel like you need this whole outro ...&quot; Perfect audience, excellent reaction, brilliant analysis, absolutely nailed it.

  &quot;I&apos;m sorry, Dave, I&apos;m afraid I can&apos;t do that&quot;<br><br>The original &quot;computer says no&quot;.

  &quot;Open the pod bay doors HAL&quot;<br>&quot;I&apos;m sorry Dave. I&apos;m afraid I can&apos;t do that.&quot;<br><br>Two of the most iconic lines in all of science fiction. Or just movies in general.

  One effect that doesn&apos;t get enough credit is the old Dave makeup. They made 32 year old Keir Dullea look like an 80 year old man. If you look at any recent pictures of Dullea (now in his late 80s) you&apos;ll see just how accurate the makeup was.

  Jen: &quot;I feel like I&apos;m gonna need a minute.&quot; &nbsp;Pretty much sums it up.
