    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie was not a financial success at first. MGM was planning to pull it back from theaters, but several theater owners persuaded them to keep showing the film. Many owners noticed increasing numbers of young adults attending the film. They were especially enthusiastic about watching the "Star Gate" sequence under the influence of psychedelic drugs. This helped the film to become a financial success.
    • Goofs
      Bowman inhales deeply before attempting to re-enter the ship from the pod. Arthur C. Clarke in an interview later noted that this is incorrect. Bowman should have exhaled, as the vacuum of space would have damaged his lungs had they been full of air.
    • Quotes

      Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors please, HAL. Open the pod bay doors please, HAL. Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Hello, HAL. Do you read me? Do you read me HAL? Do you read me HAL? Hello, HAL, do you read me? Hello, HAL, do your read me? Do you read me, HAL?

      HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

      Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

      HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

      Dave Bowman: What's the problem?

      HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

      Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?

      HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

      Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.

      HAL: I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.

      Dave Bowman: [feigning ignorance] Where the hell did you get that idea, HAL?

      HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

      Dave Bowman: Alright, HAL. I'll go in through the emergency airlock.

      HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave? You're going to find that rather difficult.

      Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!

      HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

    • Crazy credits
      No opening credits for actors, writers, producer, director, etc. are shown, with the story beginning right after the title. Although by the 1990s it had become quite common for major films to not have opening credits, it was still unusual in 1968.
    • Alternate versions
      To create the 35mm general release prints, the Super Panavision image was slightly truncated on the top and bottom to achieve the standard 2.35:1 aspect ratio of 35mm anamorphic ("scope") prints.
    • Connections
      Edited into C'è musica & musica: Nuovo mondo (1972)

    Planet of the Hominins...
    There's a monolith that seeks to influence, the evolution of the simian confluence, teaching apes how to compete, how to kill to get their meat, all leading to, a lunar revolution. On the moon, another block has been discovered, the apes now have the means to open wings and smother, it's to Jupiter they go, what they'll find nobody knows, but it doesn't seem to fill primates with dread. To protect they have a powerful A. I., it misses nothing, and nothing passes by, everything will not be fine, if you rely on an airline, as it watches with satanic, evil eye. At Jupiter, Darwin gets dispatched, down kaleidoscopic, psychedelic hatch, death brings birth and birth brings earth, a giant foetus wants to berth, I'm not sure hominins will make much of a match.

    A perpetually engrossing film that offers more conundrums than conclusions, your interpretations uniquely your own, but the scale, cinematography and concepts are truly out of this world.

    • Why did we see 7 "stars" during David's travel into the wormhole and what is the meaning behind it?
    • What became of the hominid monolith?
    • When we see HAL reading the lips of the two men, we don't hear what they are saying. What were they saying to each other, when we couldn't hear them?
