Director: Stanley Kubrick
Screenplay: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C Clarke
Starring: Keir Dullea
I got to watching this magnificent film again, from Stanley Kubrick, whom I consider as the greatest director of all time. This in my opinion is the greatest sci-fi film of all time you do really wonder how this film could be created in 1967. Fantastic visuals, gob smacking sets and an ambiguous story to boot.
Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke collaborated on the screenplay and Arthur came out with the novel Sentinel as a by product. The novel is said to give a more clearer plot whereas in the film Stanley leaves the audience to make their own interpretations. There are some scenes in the film when you clearly see where from some of the scenes in Inception are inspired from.
2001 is a must watch for any serious film fan and it was made during the 7 years of pure film making genius from Stanley Kubrick starting from 1964 (Dr. Strangelove) to 1971 (Clockwork Orange).
Rating: 5/5
