where is my mind
This movie came out in 1968. Think about what movies looked like back then, especially sci-fi ones. Amazing. The same year as Barbarella or Planet of the Apes. The same rough era as schlock like The Time Machine, Fantastic Voyage or 1,000,000 Years B.C.
wasn't it a religious film?
@stereomike111 What makes you say that? Or is there some sarcasm I am missing?
@stereoplex there's this much circulated quote from Clarke how MGM was financing the first 10 million dollar religious movie without yet realising it was that. Also, Kubrick stated at least a couple of times how 2001 could be about the search for god. Which you kinda don't have to have him tell you.
It was a horror film
@stereomike111 I get that. But by that standard, any movie featuring aliens could be about the search for god. And judged by that count, I think Tarkovsky's Solaris is a much more religious film.
@stereoplex that is not the logic at all
