2001 Explained (sort of)

posted by [personal profile] sbisson at 03:06pm on 29/07/2005 under , , , ,
If you ever got bogged down in Kubrick and Clarke's masterpiece, then try this rather spectacular piece of Flash that attempts to explain just what's going on...

I don't agree with chunks of the thesis of this piece, but then I've read Lost Worlds Of 2001, which goes a long way to showing what Clarke and Kubrick were aiming for...

I found that reading 2001 did a pretty good job of explaining it to me...

I've never had any problem whatsoever in understanding 2001.

[livejournal.com profile] perlmonger watched that for a few moments, and then gave up - it struck us as dull and patronising, and *breathtakingly* slow.

that should, of course, have read [livejournal.com profile] perlmonger *and I*.

not unlike Withnail and I, in many respects.

Well, that was exactly how I understood it when it was first on TV as a child (age 7? I am 37 now). My parents did not understand it at all at the time even though dad was an Asimov reader.
