glasgow jock Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Okay - Just watched this movie for the first time - I understand the beginning, basically the dawn of man adapting to our environment and finding bones & stone to use as tools / weapons, the said early humans (ape like) wake up one morning and find this monolith standing in front of them - the film jumps forward to present day and the space age, then the film goes weird (totally weird) now I understand the movie was made in the late 60's - but could someone try explain in pretty simple terms the story / meaning to this bizzare movie ?? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Been over 30 years since I read the book but IIRC at the end of the story Dave Bowman the astronaut is taken by the monolith through the next evolutionary stage and becomes a "star child". One of the best films of all time, really has to be seen on the big screen though. There's an excellent book just come out on the making of the movie to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Kubrick made great films but was an absolute nutter! http://blogs.sciencemag.org/books/2018/04/03/space-odyssey/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally Bongo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I predict Kimba will post shortly that it was all a lot of masonic bullshit with Clarke and Kubrick being reincarnations of the Devil From what i recall a lot of it is about the search for God, extraterrestrials and lots of other mad shit It's a film i have never been able to watch start to finish Found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_2001:_A_Space_Odyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 As a bit of trivia, some of the scenes as Dave goes through the stargate were shot from a helicopter flying along the coast of Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty CTA Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Not someone I would have hand-picked. She's gone past the bus stop where she should have got off. Hopefully you can see the difference between someone living a Christian life in the real world and someone who subscribes 100% to a worldview they found (and remain) on the internet.

Ally Bongo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 When you think about it's quite convenient that the monolith appears 6-8 million years ago (going by the hominid lineage diverting from the ape lineage) We needed a monolith rather than 8 million years of evolution ? Why did it not appear 60 million years before and warn the dinosaurs (who had already been around for well over 200 million years) that they were about to get wiped out by the effects of an asteroid skelping the planet ? Or did it think they were too stupid and waited till they pissed off ? Clearly they werent stupid to have survived as long not to mention some of them turned themselves into birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 It's science fiction. No such things as evolution, dinosaurs, outer space/space travel. It's simply a conditioning vehicle to get the reader/viewer to think and wonder along the lines presented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Who is it that's going around planting all those remains of them then ? They are that professional they dont just plant bones and magic them into rocks but they also make fossilised poop too and leave that hanging about And dont forget the tar pits and tree amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praise God I got past the 'bus stop' of religious Christendom who add works to the glorious gospel of grace, making it a false gospel and hence them accursed. You still didn't answer any of the points I made as to why you aren't a sheep or the bride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because the initiates don't like the only true God because He says we are sinners. Sins of pride and self-righteousness again ....just like those in religious Churchianity who are trying to earn their way into heaven with works of the flesh. Clarke was indeed an occultist, and if you look into Childhood's end and other stuff it gets very murky indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's your boasting in the cross of Christ Scotty? I haven't got anything to boast about in myself since God did all the work. You don't seem to realise 'living the Christian life' is not part of salvation. It's salvation first - without works when someone BELIEVES the gospel. Then you read God's Word rightly divided and allow the SOUND DOCTRINE to get down into your inner man/soul. Get out of religious Churchianity while you can!
