| homer said: About 2001 A Space Odyssey, what the heck is that movie? I tried watching it but after like 20 minutes of NOTHING happening, i gave up. It was so boring. Is there even a plot to that movie? Worst movie though is some sky trooper animated movie or something like that. It made me physically ill. |
you really have understand the time it was made in and what it tried to accomplish back then.
in short, it was a attempt to make a "serious" sci fi movie for a mature audience. and it still stands out as such today.
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
- George Orwell, ‘1984’
