2001

Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is a tour de force of filmmaking, and unquestionably, one of the all-time best science fiction films ever made. Kubrick takes the audiences from the dawn of mankind to the farthest region of outer space, he skillfully orchestrates every scene for us to ponder on, to question, to fathom, with meticulous and yet, casual detail that explodes visually upon our senses by the sheer scope of imagery. Critics and audiences, past and present, considered this to be one of Kubrick best films, and without a doubt, it is one of the most mind-binding film ever created. There is no other film quite like this and no film has come close to its grandeur in cinematography and wonderment of our very existence.…

Clarke and a science-fiction film released in (the same year as the novel) 1968, and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The following are all the differences I noticed while watching the film; No narration: I feel there should have been at least some narration in the beginning, so people can better grasp what is happening (i watched this film with my mother, who hasn't read the book, and i had to explain some…

because of the events of their youth, the young generation of the sixties developed an increasingly negative and cynical outlook on mankind and the future of the world. In this paper I will examine the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick, the song “In The Year 2525” by Zager & Evans, and public opinion polling data on the United States’ involvement in Vietnam to further examine this hypothesis.…

The 1968 film 2001 Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick is an intense piece of work that frustrates and questions the audience due to the perplexing storyline. It is highly regarded as a film that accurately portrays space, has incredible special effects, and obscure concepts. Technology, in the artificial intelligence form, plays a prominent role in this film due to the futuristic elements of space, themes of existentialism, and evolution. HAL 9000 is introduced in the film as one of the most…

Throughout the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, the onboard computer Hal is shown to be vital in performing the daily functions of the ship and is characterized as superior to his human coworkers. In his essay on the topic, Pfluger states, “The predominance of HAL, and the awe that he inspires in his merely human crew (and audience!) is of a piece with that worship of machinery that we see throughout 2001” (Pfluger). Hal achieves almost divine status among the crewmembers on the mission, as he is…

Engineering is the thing that makes human’s dream become real. Many children have been fascinated by space, from Star Wars to Star Trek and wondered about space travel.

Another matter considered was the question of joint liability for both the transferor and the transferee in the case of unfair dismissals prior to transfer. Other matters included the consideration of negotiations in transfer related matters where there was no Trade Union…

President to justify the declaration of war on the basis of the AUMF. Another reason to repeal the 2001 AUMF is because of the absence of a sunset clause. Hypothetically, the President can wage an endless war under the AUMF because no expiration date exists on its authority. This is problematic because Al-Qaeda is no longer a substantial threat, yet the authorization continues to allow administrations to broadly apply this authority to other terrorist groups. The need for a sunset clause…

September 11, 2001, at 8:45 a.m. on an unmistakable Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 stacked with 20,000 gallons of stream fuel collided with the north pinnacle of the World Trade Center in New York City. The effect left a vast, consuming gap close to the 80th floor of the 110-story high rise, immediately slaughtering several individuals and catching hundreds more in higher floors.
