I can totally see this movie being discussed in schools and I need other people to discuss this with :D It's hard to analyze it just by myself! We see the evolution of technology from where it started to a point where maybe we are at right now, but after that my mind is just blown (which makes sense because we are not at that point ourselves!) :D. I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions!

Oh, I'm so happy to see you're reaction to this one. Answering the question "What is your favorite movie?" is super difficult for me because I like different things for different reasons. However, if I had to decide on one, This movie would definitely be top three if not #1. I have plenty of ideas of what is happening in the film, and I do feel like it has messages and meaning, but if you want more of an explanation for those there are plenty of discussion boards out there to search. I want to say how even as a child in the 80's and 90's, the cinematography and soundtrack were so excellent. Did you know that an original soundtrack was written for this film? It was written by an artist named Alex North. But Kubrick knew he wanted Strauss Waltzes and Zarathustra, and Gyorgy Ligeti, who was responsible for the dissonant choir and orchestra music when we see the monolith. I feel bad for the composer, though. Apparently, the studio told Kubrick he had to hire a soundtrack composer, North did his best, but when Kubrick had his mind set on his vision, he refused to let it go. So he paid North for his soundtrack, and then used the music he decided was right for the film. Also, the black screen overture at the beginning is three minutes, but there was originally a ten minute intermission followed by a two minute entr'acte. That was not very common for the time, but longer movies actually did have intermissions back then, an idea I think we could benefit from if we are back to insisting that films need to be over 2 hours long. Also, movies don't need to be that long. Give me a nice tight story in 100 minutes. Sorry, off topic. And of course as with any Kubrick film, there are so many more stories, on things like why the monolith became a giant black matte rectangle. And the starbaby at the end and I haven't even mentioned HAL. Again, so glad to see you watched this one and sorry for this long post, but this film is so good. And I hope you and your own starbaby are good too!

Woah! Also last quick little fact, they couldn't afford to get actual zebras for the shoot, so they got horses, painted them with stripes like zebras, and got them to lay down. According to all accounts the horses were not harmed. And I forgot to mention that Heywood Floyd's daughter on the videocall was Kubrick's daughter.
