2001 A Space Odyssey – Space Sequences Tribute Part 3of4
And here the “Mother” (well the real mother is probably “Metropolis”) of all Science Fiction Movie Special Visual Effects: Stanley Kubricks “2001 – A Space Odysee” from 1968. All seen here is of course handmade. All photographic effects, no CGI. And all SFX Scenes from the Movie are cut toghether in full length and in chronological order.
The Music in PART2of4 at 1:20 and 6:42 is right out of the Movie. Gayane Ballet Suite (Adagio) Aram Khachaturian. You should find it on the Originial Movie Soundtrack. It was also used “extracted” in the ALIENS Movie!
The “Changing Dimensions” Music 5:23 : QUOTE WIKI: “Atmosphères (1961 – by György Ligeti) is written for large orchestra and is not musically related to the earlier electronic piece of the same name, although some of its aesthetic intentions are similar. It is seen[who?] as a key piece in Ligeti’s output, laying out many of the concerns he would explore through the 1960s. Out of the four elements of music — melody, harmony, rhythm and timbre — the piece almost completely abandons the first three, concentrating on the texture of the sound, a technique known as sound mass. It opens with what must be one of the largest cluster chords ever written — every note in the chromatic scale over a range of five octaves is played at once. Out of the fifty-six string players ushering in the first chord, no two play the same note. The piece seems to grow out of this initial massive, but very quiet, chord, with the textures always changing. For this compositional technique not only used in the aforementioned work, Atmosphères, but also in Apparitions and his other works of the time, Ligeti coined the term “micropolyphony”.[citation needed]
The Requiem for soprano, mezzo-soprano, five-voice chorus, and orchestra is a four-movement work in the same totally-chromatic style as Atmosphères (a portion of this work too received wide currency in the scene on the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, in the scene of the proto-humans approaching the monolith). The first movement of Requiem, the “Introitus”, has a thin texture, but the “Kyrie/Christe” is a stunning, brilliant evocation of searing appeal.[citation needed] It is a massive (twenty-part choral) quasi-fugue where the counterpoint is re-thought in terms of the material, consisting of melismatic masses interpenetrating and alternating with complex skipping parts. It was a part of this movement that accompanied the enigmatic monolith scenes in Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey. The last instance quoted in the movie (at Jupiter: Beyond the Infinite), this movement (interrupted by a loud radio-tone screech from the monolith) segues to the opening of Atmosphères. The penultimate movement, “de Die Judicii Sequentia” (Day of Judgement Sequence) is a colossal montage of contrasts: fff loud versus ppp soft, masses of sound versus soloists, etc. In the final movement, “Lacrimosa” (weeping), the chorus is muted, and only a reduced orchestra accompanies the plangent singing of the soloists.
Because it’s more than 36 Minutes of FX, including the “changing Dimensions” FX, i had to split in into 4 parts. And don’t adjust your volume when there’s nothing to hear. It’s meant that way 
Quote Stanley Kubrick (source:Wikipedia): “I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does; to „explain” a Beethoven symphony would be to emasculate it by erecting an artificial barrier between conception and appreciation. You’re free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film — and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level — but I don’t want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he’s missed the point.”

i first saw this movie when I was 10 years old, HAL used to freak me out. I love that voice he sounds so screepy.

SPOILER:
He was programed by the NSA with info about the monolith and the other in the moon and all secret stuff, but then ordered to not reveal it to crew but then to provide all info possible on them about the mission. This conflicted directly against HAL Design based on “Thruth first never false or non confirmed info” and it went nuts, first he tried to severe comunications, then killed the crew (almost) to avoid conflict (at that point HAL was “broken” allready)

In the novel 3001: Poole’s body is discovered after drifting in space for a millennium. Given Poole’s exposure to vacuum (he was flash-frozen so his body was fully intact after 1,000 years), the advanced medical technology of the time is able to revive him Poole is brought back to life.
Poole must then contend with the trio of Monoliths that hold sway over our solar system, and what Bowman has become. He also marries a woman named Indra Wallace and has two children, Dawn and Martin.

Poole begins replacing the AE-35 unit. In an act resembling the human response of survival, HAL rams Poole with one of the ship’s pods, severing his oxygen hose and killing him.
HAL then refuses to let Bowman return to the ship after his successfully intercepting and recovering Poole’s body and spacesuit.

Quote Wiki: “Poole and Bowman discuss disconnecting HAL 9000, the ship’s computer, after it mistakenly predicts that the AE-35 unit (an electronic unit in the ship’s main antenna) has failed. They realize that HAL is capable of error, and privately discuss disconnecting him. They believe themselves to be out of HAL’s hearing range, but the computer, which can read lips, learns of their plan and resolves to get rid of the threat.

That’s the best …
That’s the best explanation that I’ve ever read. I’ve always wondered about explosive decompression in a vacuum.
There is only one incident that I know of, It occured in the diving bell of a norwegian oil rig in the early eighties. Because of a technical error the pressure wnt from 6 atm. to 1 in a fraction of a second. One of the divers exploded, and another was pushed through a small hole.

Yes and no. Given …
Yes and no. Given time Dave’s body would ‘inflate,’ as you put it (technically, it doesn’t inflate, but I get it), but not right away. The human body is a little stronger than your average helium balloon. Next, he may eventually freeze (depends on exposure to sunlight–quite strong in space, even at that distance), but through the very SLOW process of radiative heat transfer; there is no air in space to ‘take away’ the heat. He would be fine for the few seconds he needs, as shown.

“my god it’s full …
“my god it’s full of stars” never happened in the movie 2001, but did in the book. Another big difference, the absence of Saturn in the movies, was explained by Clarke and Trumball the special effects supervisor, as for two reasons—the movie would be too long and, Trumball, despite his genius in special effects, was unable to depict Saturn’s rings in a way that satisfied Kubrick, and especially Clarke. He did Saturn’s rings a few years later in Silent Running. The rings were still weak.

Yeah, the book and …
Yeah, the book and the movie are miles apart. the 2010 book sort of continues from both 2001 book and movie.. cause Arthur C. Clarke wrote 2001 first, then rewrote parts of it together with kubrick to better suit film.. When arthur then wanted to do 2010 he had to compromise and .. explain some of what happened in the movie in the book 2010.. The part wher bowman says “my god.. it’s full of stars” never actually happened in the book 2001.

wow, this is a lot different from the book..
just finished it…

In the fourth and …
In the fourth and final book by Arthur C. Clarke titled 3001: The Final Odyssey, the missing astronaut you see here, “Frank Poole” is recovered by advanced civilization. His memories are returned and he returns to Europa. I thought it was a good book. So…although Frank dies, he is returned to life exactly 1000 years later.

One of the many …
One of the many things this movie does right is the sound in space. Vacuum space means no sound.
And the only sounds you hear is the sound that the astronaut hears in his cockpit. No starwars lasersounds or outside propulsion noises.

Is up to you to give a meaning to the movie, if you do not find anything does not mean that the movie makes no sense, says something about you and your philosophical background.

I’ve never seen the …
I’ve never seen the whole movie from start to finish, it’s about time I do.
I feel bad for the other astronaut that had to be abandoned for Dave to get back inside.
Even if he was already dead.
May 27th, 2010 at 4:52 am
And there is that 1 …
And there is that 1 thing at 5:05.
Although people can survive an explosive decompression of 1 atm to a vaccum for several seconds; the volume of Dave’s body should inflate to about twice its size before he freezes.
