    "And because in all the galaxy, they had found nothing more precious than mind, they encouraged its dawning everywhere. They became farmers in the fields of stars. They sowed, and sometimes they reaped. And sometimes, dispassionately, they had to weed." This is my favorite quote from the novel.

    Our politicians lack ambition and are too content with keeping their greed bound to earth. What a shame we are controlled by such a stubborn, fat, and unambitious class. this is why subjects like the cold war are so amazing to me, because it breeds this competitive mindset. "I need to beat the other guy, I'm going to do anything I have to do to succeed, and so I'm going to go above and beyond to help my people explode with creativity, invention, and innovation". War and more specifically the competition involved creates such explosive advancement, but we cant have anymore wars, because if and when a bad powerful man throws a fit, he can end the word with a few words and the turn of a key, and we don't want to risk that. I hope ill get to go to space one day, I hope we finally create a sustainable presence off our home world. I know its kind of a rant but its a subject I really just have to get out of my system

    @@michaelandreipalon359 No, it has the minimal potential and practicality. Let's play this out- it took the Voyager probes 30-odd years to reach the orbit of Pluto- and they could travel with far less mass and greater acceleration than a manned vessel. To establish a colony would require far more material than a simple manned mission, (which we haven't even gotten beyond the TerraLuna Zone). Not only that, it would have to be self-sufficient- because, again, its a multi-decade trip- Amazon Prime isn't getting fresh water or medical supplies 3.14 billion miles (about 5 billion kilometers) in two days. Luna makes much more sense from a logistical sense- its far closer, meaning resupply is feasible. Likewise, communication is far more viable. The lunar surface is chock full of Oxygen and Iron, both of which are very useful and could be used for sustaining a colony and further construction, (perhaps with other ores being shipped from Earth or meteor impact locations on the Moon) And let's circle back to this part: " I hope to live through the very moment we finally reach and make a full fledged colony to Pluto"; how many decades do you think you have left to live- ten's a good run, and chances are you burned thru a few already.

    The thing that always struck me in 2001 was that we basically see the same story twice - once with the ape-men, and then with the humans. The implication that we, with all our amazing technology, are still just apes with pointy sticks. That we have as far still to go as we have already come. That to the builders of the monoliths, our most powerful weapons are little more than bone clubs.

I do really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into a very well realized CG model, but there is a certain physicality to ships like in this movie, or the ILM Enterprise model, that CG hasn't quite managed to capture for me yet.

    Fun fact, Iapetus is bright on one side and dark on the other, because one side catches a lot more dust from another of Saturn's moons, Phoebe, and that dust makes the surface slightly darker. When sunlight hits it, the ice on that side boils off, leaving a thick layer of dark material - whatever was mixed in with the ice. On the other side, the surface is still fresh ice, and so it's much paler.

    The future is planned, if you think that’s trippy Arthur C Clarke wrote a book in the 1980s called Life in The 21st century and the way he describes people’s behavior and western society is exactly like 2023, filled with vaccines and polyamorous people and all the gender stuff that’s so prevalent now. In the 1980s it would of sounded crazy, he knew the future would unfold that way because the future is planned. HG Wells also wrote a book called The New World Order and one called The Open Conspiracy where he talks about the planning of the future.

  • @dweller132
    @dweller13211 ай бұрын

    As a fan of the book myself, this is a very accurate synopsis of the book! There are a lot of things I enjoyed about the book: Arthur C. Clarke did his homework and researched what he could about realistic space travel, including talking to NASA scientists. The way it gives that mystery feel, there's a certain level of suspense throughout as the ship takes the long journey to Iapetus and curiosity/dread about what Bowman will eventually find there. HAL's history and the very human conflict of wanting to discuss an important revelation but not being able to, and how it's resolved. Although, I do realize now that I had misinterpreted the ending as Earth being on the cusp of nuclear Armageddon and the Starchild putting a stop to it. Chapter 47 is just slightly vague enough that I interpreted it that way. And I agree, anyone who's interested in 2001: A Space Odyssey should absolutely read the book first. The book goes into detail about a few things that the movie doesn't focus on or slightly changes, so it's helpful to understand. As for other novels that might be worth covering, I would suggest Neuromancer by William Gibson, if you'd be willing to delve into cyberpunk literature. It's a bit of a complex read, but it's really influential to the whole genre and has really interesting themes and descriptions. Oh, and if you plan to get a physical version, I highly recommend the Penguin Galaxy hardcover edition, it's got a great cover and some words from Neil Gaiman (it's part of a series of hardcovers, so Gaiman was asked to share what he thought of Neuromancer and other books in that series). I just finished Neuromancer a couple of days ago, and it's a great read.

    I watched it in 1968 on it's first release, at 10 years old, and formed a love for Sci-Fi from there. 2001 was very influential, and very predictive. AC Clarke was a genius, who is little remembered these days, yet his and Heinleins Sci Fi stories were some of the best writing, ever. The movie when released was a "WTF?" head scratcher for probably 90% of the people who watched it, as it had several secrets behind the motivations. After reading the book and seeing the other movie, as well as the third book, (2030) you could see Clarkes effort to explain God and Man...

    When you also take the novel into consideration there's plenty more that is explained and shown to us through there. But that being said it's also worth thinking through what the movie itself shows us: Humanity's distant forefathers come across a black monolith. This experience is shown to change them in some way, providing the band that finds it an advantage over another band by allowing them to utilize tools (and it implies that the first genuine tool is a weapon, which is a terrible line of thinking). Humanity has advanced thanks to the black monolith. Humans once again come across a black monolith once more thousands of years later, this time on the moon. They are sent on a mission for this one far into the solar system, where they come across another monolith. Presumably, this is some kind of test. After getting there, the black monolith pushes the human who comes into contact with it once more, changing him from what he was before. Of course, it is left unsaid what exactly these implications are. However, the newly transformed "Star Child" Bowman appears to be on a distinct plane of existence from the rest of humanity. We can only observe him in this altered state, much as the opposing group of protohumans must have observed the tool-users. This second evolutionary nudge will lead to locations we can not yet envisage, just as using a bone as a weapon led to space stations, but there will be repercussions.

    I’ve watched the movie several times, but never read the book. Thus I missed a lot of the nuance of the book. I even read 2061 and 3001 and as a teenager, but need to revisit the books. Thanks for making this, I’ll be checking out other videos!

    I as well first saw the movie as a pre-teen, in 1968. I have not read the book (which can only be explained by human error - mine). I am inspired by this video to give the book a read. Thank you.

    Good video, and I agree with your observations. The teleology is the fascination for me. Please say more on the recapitulation? It seems *nothing* heads this Star Child, but rather, that he recapitulates the ancient entities, by possessing all of the accumulated knowledge. Also, is he not corporal?

    Man-ape has his synapses tested, his synapses burned. Then, he said , "A bong I heard my landlord fling" was the reason they almost got struck by lightening and were soaked through solid. But they all blazed on, with their one life and shade from the sun (they all had fun). Btw, love your channel, and your bumper music tends to put me in a great place when im trying to sleep at night. Thanks!

    I watched the Films first before reading the first 3 books, I have not read 3001 yet. I never understood the first film at all but after reading the first 2 books, i got a better idea then i read 2061 and then i really did understand what was going on. Brilliant series of books and films and i would watch and read them over and over again.

    In Psalm 139:13, the verse "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb." is written. In my personal interpretation, the scene at the end of this movie where a fetus is prominently depicted signifies the notion that all occurrences in this world are being observed by the divine.

    As long as we still get some Star Wars I'm fine with other stories too. You should do Interstellar next. That was a really good movie that seemed to be a lot like 2001.

    so evolution goes on and man becomes the Übermensch like in Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". That's why the soundtrack is "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss. Thats's amazing!

    I got this on 4K Blu-Ray as soon as I got a Series X. Forgot that when the film is shown on TV they cut out the loooong musical bit at the start. I'm going to read the Space Odyssey books (including The Lost Worlds of) after I've read the LOTR books.

    This is one of my favorite book series! I do hope you cover the rest. 3001 in particular is so great in showing humans getting to a peaceful progressive place and then having humans judged based on our most destructive period of time.
