And many have a problem imagining out there. I suppose they might find it boring and shallow. Wish I could remember Blaise Pascal's quote about the loneliness of space. To that one could add the awesomeness of it, the spectacle of it. And the shock that comes with the realization, that we are not alone is this vastness of energy and blazing movement. And Kubrick presented this mostly visually.Now I'm not criticizing you personally. I fully understand the appeal of the more "humanistic" of Kubrick's movies. It's really a different strokes thing. And 2001 IS definitely about the religious impulse, awe, if you will. Perhaps that's a big one to get over for some people. We know, Kubrick was an atheist, at least I've seen that written.
BTW, Barry didn't fare very well against fate or destiny after all, did he?
Follow Ups:
In fact I firmly believe that it is the LACK in one´s imagination that led to the liking of this film.
We are not alone...hum...that may be your view...and an LSD film will certainly not be an absolute proof...pas vrai, mec ?
Of course, I am not critising yourself personally...why should I ?
Pascal was one of the few you can call" integre "in my eyes....and I will rebuy his " pensées " for the X time..as his book should never leave´s one side even his physical% experiment prooves are not all true today anymore...
Barry L. has the fate that every one of us has sooner or later...if you like it or not....
How long can you got an happy end? How long can you take it ?
Stanley K. darkness was sculpt in his genes. So was his films.
if you come upon Pascal on this. Something about being scared of the vast spaces. I've had a hint of this while viewing some videos of real space and some astronomical photos. We are the speck upon a speck, hurtling through the limitless void. One random asteroid, etc. could wipe us out in an eyeblink.
I will. But Pascal is very reassuring...Metaphysic....think of Alban Berg´s Wozzeck...it makes you dizzy....but that is the reality, we are ...lost in space...every thing´s moving...pursuing a plan whose future is unknow to us....it is like a small death in our life time...
Let´s drink.....
Patrick, I'd like to share a drink or two with you. Where would be a good rendezvous? And when? I'll buy.
hehe..any time you are around...I´ll buy.
Around where? France, right? City?
Germany, Frankfurt.
Or Montpellier ( beautiful ) in October....
