+John Fitzpatrick - Yes that's for sure. Many movies have scenes that are supposed to be suspenseful, but have been wrecked by annoying music that heavy handedly signifies to you how you're "supposed to be feeling". So annoying! Such as in the first Lord of the Rings movie. When they go into the underground mines, after seemingly endless "this is an important and very serious journey" style music, I was really hoping for a break, and some genuine creepiness via silence, and maybe the distant sounds of threats lurking within those mines that the characters could barely hear and knew they had to avoid at all costs... BUT OH NO! IT WAS MINE HALL MUSIC CITY, DRONING ON AND ON, RUINING WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A WELCOME CHANGE IN THE PACE. That excess of "important journey" music made that scene predictable and boring. Music - it's style and it's absence, really can make or break a movie.

Another observation is how Kubrick had fooled you into thinking the area in the pod-bay has "gravity" when it should not. The only area that would have "gravity" would be in the centrifuge, everywhere else would be zero-g, which is what happens when they leave the pod-bay.... The Master at work.

@@hypercomms2001 - Kubrick had the astronauts outfitted with grip (or magnetic) shoes for walking around in zero-G locations. You notice they never stride along too rapidly in the pod bay. It's as if these kinds of footwear were so convenient, even the astronauts kind of forget they are in a zero G environment. Kubrick's attention to detail (and his music selection, and lack of music in much of the film) was awesome. You'll notice Kubrick also puts characters in his films which often do not have typical Hollywood American (bland) accents. You see that especially in Full Metal Jacket. Keir Dullea in 2001 was almost a double for Neil Armstrong in the way he looks and acts, though that's likely a coincidence as I don't think Armstrong was famous then. Maybe many astronaut/test pilot types were like that in those days.

It's Kubrick's direction. He had ways of making actors behave any way he wanted; like he would stress the crap out of Shelly Duvall for "The Shining," so she'd appear mad with terror; and he tricked George C. Scott into thinking that Dr. Strangelove was a serious film, and that the comedic scenes were just for directing contrast; and he even had David Prowse carry Patrick McGee down the stairs in the wheelchair in "Clockwork Orange" without a cut, so that Prowse would be out of breath, and it would look like he was seething with repressed anger at Alex; since it made Julian look so strong that he just carried Frank around in the wheelchair without effort, so there were no ramps installed. So you KNOW Alex is really in trouble. So Kubrick really knew how to control and manipulate his actors to give whatever vibe he wanted.

Yes, it's called a "reaction shot". HAL probably looked through Dave's "sweetface" routine (at 2:10) like an X-ray.

"Things like this have happened before, and it has always been because of human error" HAL wasn't wrong. The reason why he was making mistakes and succumbing to paranoia was that he'd been programmed both to provide all information to his crew, and to keep the exact nature of the mission a secret. This basically starts causing an "ERROR" loop in which, in Hal's mind, getting rid of the humans is the only option to allow him to carry out his mission. So at the end of the day, it was human error.

That would either mean that once HAL was under the impression that they were hiding something from him, he started to concentrate on reading their lips or that he understood everything from the beginning, but decided to ignore the order in order to find out what they were planning.

Those are not his protocols. He only lies later in a series of errors because he cannot complete his mission. His only option is to think more and more, and within moments, he does whatever he can to complete the mission. He lies about not wanting to die, but its too late.

@5:51 the helmet head cut from the spacesuit is a brilliant foreshadowing of a) Dave crossing the airlock space without his helmet and subsequently; b) Analogous of Hal's own mind being disconnected Kubrick - the master of hidden meaning and subtle detail.

At the end of this scene, there's originally an intermission in the cinema/theatre in order to divide up the next half of the film and to let you think about what you just watched. Even in external aspects of the film, Kubrick is a master.

One reason for the film's success is that there's none of the sex, vulgar language and graphic violence that plagued more recent sci-fi thrillers like "Alien", "Saturn 3", etc.

If they had not rotated the pod, HAL may have not been able to read their lips, but he would have still surmised what they were up to.

Douglas Rain's (HAL) tempo/delivery is as close to perfect, the little pauses make things so unnerving. Less is more.

Turn me off? Ohhh..... you boys just pissed me off..

They both are very good but Keir Dullea here gives a masterclass in acting. The way he tries to not show any emotion and keep talking to Hal with absolute calm trying to reassure is still confident in him is amazing. As an Italian I can say that the movie was dubbed very well and Kubrick himself wrote to Gianfranco Bellini, Hal's italian voice, he was the best he heard in any language.

I love the attention to detail. Notice how deliberate their steps are as if walking under the influence of centrifugal force and not earth gravity.

he wouldn't of seen what they said if the pod weren't facing his monitor. by the way, its freaky, i mean, when your standing there talking, or just sitting there and see his monitor eye, you can't even tell if he's looking at you, or which monitor he's observing from, like if u walk past another monitor down a hallway and Hal doesn't speak to you, you can't even tell if he's watching you. Also, you can't see whats on his mind, no face to show emotion to cause concern, you can't tell what his motivations are, just a creepy, silent, red eye monitor staring back at you.

It's a scene that somewhat reminds me of that narration from the beginning of the 1970's musical version of 'War Of The Worlds' - "...And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours, regarded this earth with envious eyes. And slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us." kzread.info/dash/bejne/dp6LudVxYbSnibw.html

HAL: alright, we can settle this accordingly

In high school, I drew a a poster showcasing famous movie monsters and at the last minute I decided to include the red eye camera for HAL-9000.

If HAL would of Rotated the pod that last time it would have confirmed that he could read their lips or hear them, HAL was just acting like he could not hear them so he could eavesdrop. It shows how intelligent he was, knowing something was up, and that they were trying to hide something from him. And the reason they rotated the pod back facing HAL, He did it as to not look suspicious to HAL, And to look like they were just conversating about normal operations, But HAL was already a step ahead Before they even walked into the pod Room. Besides they never could of imagined HAL would be able to read their lips, Especially after HAL manipulated them into a false sense of security, By disobeying a command to deceive them.

Frank may have given their charade away when he went "ROTATE THE POD PLEASE HAL!" . He was also looking in HAL's direction when he did so. He might as well have been saying "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?". Since they were supposed to be investigating sound issues, HAL may have decided to read their lips as a built in precaution.

One of things I have noticed about the movie is how Dave never seems intimidated by HAL's intelligence, whereas Frank clearly does. The scene at the beginning illustrates this well, Dave never responds to HAL's comments emotionally, even when HAL tries to bait both of them to do so, but factually, and then uses emotion cleverly to kind of brush HAL off before going to the pod with the " See you later, HAL " comment. It's as if he is seeing if he can almost tempt HAL to respond emotionally, but underestimates HAL's capabilities with lip reading, which if HAL couldn't do, might have forced HAL to make a mistake earlier. However after he kills Frank and the others, but doesn't kill him, HAL falls to pieces emotionally and Dave is just coolly disassembles him.

I like your point about Dave's confidence that he'll find a way to beat HAL. Dave is not just intelligent, but he's a fighter. The mindset that failure is not an option, in the face of an impossible task, is where necessity becomes the mother of invention (innovation).

A masterclass in film making from the Master of Cinema, Stanley Kubrick.

the chess match between Hal and the crew

Every single scene from this movie is a rare treat.

Al these equipments and props looks so realistic in their, but it was just only production stuff with fiberglass, transparent plexiglass and more just made for this movie. Incredible work.

One must take note of when someone is talking about someone they tend to motion back towards the person. Dead giveaway. Also some people can read lips and although you may not get the entire conversation you can piece the bits and pieces together. Since HAL has been programed with the entire knowledge of the human race his optical sensor can recreate or piece together or use extrapolation to figure out what the word is to form a complete sentence. Unheard of back when this movie was made but definitely doable now.

Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke were so ahead of their time!! So was Isaac Asimov for that matter.

"What sort of trouble have you been having, Dave?" [GIBBERISH] Okay...

Such a good movie

Lesson learned...Don't rotate the pod please, HAL, at least not to where you can see us.

Among all the other brilliant parts of this movie was portraying HAL as a red-colored eye. I saw the film in 1968 in Toronto. I was seventeen and a sci-fi fan of Clarke, Heinlein, Bradbury and Asimov. Kubrick's influence with 2001 was massive.

In spite of all the wonderful Sci-Fi movies that have come out since, Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien, none of them even begins to compare with the Grand-daddy of all Sci-FI!

Considered always the visualizing, adrenaline, & amazing effective sci-fi film of all ages, Kubrick knew how to make a true space voyage movie. Back then, other sci-fi material for tv had their prunes juiced. When HAL has his eye on you, he means ALL eyes on you!

Too bad Stanley Kubrick is no longer with us. Because I don't think the film is specifically about artificial intelligence that could become a threat to humankind. Kubrick's movies are often about humankind harming itself.
