2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick in 1968

is indeed a fine piece of art,

especially the bold execution of jump cuts,

beautiful and starling,

and the lovely music

conveying the atmosphere of the scenes.

The sound of astronaut breathing

in the mission to Jupiter

speaks of the uncertainty and fear

mankind feels with regards to science and technology,

constantly changing, yet unavoidable.

The trepidation of mankind towards the very machines

and robots they invented,

the terrifying control these machines have over us,

and how eventually mankind still emulates machinery.

I first watched snippets of this film in my literature class

at college, and i have been fascinated.

This time i watch it after studying Cinema Studies in university,

i am still fascinated.

I will definitely watch it again in the future...
