Amazing start but then becomes completely self-indulgent
2001 is Stanley Kubrick’s famous piece about the fate of mankind.<br /><br />I have to say there is some amazing cinematography and symbolism. The opening has the sun appearing behind the Earth with the iconic theme music playing which stands for the birth of a new age. There’s the black door that appears amongst some apes with the sun appearing above it. What was the new age? When the ape took up a bone and used it as a tool to hunt and eventually kill which would give birth to humankind. That’s what the movie is about as it transitions to people in space who are confronted with the same issues of tools and how to use them.<br /><br />I have to say after the amazing start the movie really drags. Kubrick got carried away in showing off the world he created so you get things like 5 minutes of watching a spaceship and a space station because it’s supposed to be awe inspiring. Kubrick ends up doing this again and again for the entire film. By the end it feels like it’s completely self-indulgent.
