This movie is concerned with intelligence as the division between animal and human, then asks a question; what is the next division? Technology is treated as irrelevant to the quest - literally serving as mere vehicles for the human crew, and as a shell for the immature HAL entity. Story told as a montage of impressions, music and impressive and careful attention to subliminal detail. A very influential film and still a class act, even after 25 years.rnrnDirector: Stanley KubrickrnWriters:Stanley Kubrick (screenplay) & Arthur C. Clarke (screenplay)rnrnKeir Dullea ...
