2001: A Space Odyssey
Discussion
For a limited period starting from 28 November, "2001" is being released again for a cinematic showing .
I've not seen it in a cinema since 1979 when it was re-released on the back of the success of "Star Wars".
If you haven't seen this on the big screen, this is a rare opportunity to see it as Mr Kubrick intended.

If the film requires knowledge of the book in order for it to be comprehensible, is the film then lacking as a stand-alone work?
Perhaps - but we now live in a multi-media world and a lot of films have stakes in other media - such as books, comics, computer games etc. Maybe 2001 was ahead of its time.And I like the fact that it doesn't have a clear meaning.
