At the edge of human experience

166.102.84.229

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?
