Class notes:
Arthur Clarke became a si-fi writer and did screenplay for 2001 space odyssey and was an actual scientist.
- End of 1960s and the end is very psychedelic, everyone was doing acid and shrooms
- Movie started off black with a soundtrack continuing to get higher in pitch sounding eerie
- Divided into pieces like the opera so the beginning is the introduction
- Intro soundtrack is one of the most famous every made
The dawn of man
- 2 groups of apes are going crazy across a pond and eventually 1 group scares the other off
- Another clip shows a tiger with a huge zebra
- Apes are all hiding in a tunnel listening to growling
- Music starts whirling and increasing with sound and the apes go crazy, theres a monolith (cement geometrical rectangular block) that is in their home
- All the apes start touching it, angle showing the rising sun from the monolith,
- Music increases and the ape starts smashing the bones of a skeleton (shows imagination of the ape killing the bore) foreseeing the future
- Next scene is apes eating meat from a bore
- An ape with a old skeleton comes and attacks another clan and beats one ape with bones like the previous scene, the ape throws his tool up (the bone) and it transitions to a spaceship (another tool)
- It shows the spaceship with the rising sun like previous scenes
18 months later, the Jupiter mission
- A spaceship with that spreads super long and has another connecting part
- The spaceship is circular and has “beds” that look like coffins right next to desks, a man is running around the circle punching practicing for something
- Just like the monkeys after touching the monolith the human’s discovered technology
- The crew of discovery one half were put to sleep or in hibernation, first time men were put to hibernation before they left, only breathe once a minute
- HAL 9000 computer is the newest discovery and can mimic activities of the brain, one computer addresses as “Hal”, the computer talks and is the brain and CNS of the ship, Hal says it is foolproof and incapable of error, it says it has never made an error
- He says he is always doing something, and it is the most a conscious mind could ever want to do
- Hal acts like he had emotions but nobody knows if he actually does
- Frank is getting vitamin D because he is in space
- Mother is a second grade teacher, and they interview of them is going live on a Thursday
- The call to his parents are on a “photobooth” as seens earlier in the movie
- HAL, IBM is what was used to generate HAL because IBM made it
- HAL is a red bubble that has a camera in it
- HAL asks if the dave has an second thoughts and says he is maybe projecting because strange things happened before the mission (thing on the moon), its clear HAL has suspicions
- Hal prints a report with punches instead of English when he is able to talk
- Siri and Alexa is the closest thing we have today to HAL
- All you can hear is breathing and white noise inside the capsule
- Dave set off alarms and rockets him in the spaceship, hal asks dave what he thinks hes doing and demands an answer, hal cant read daves mind
- Hals tells dave he knows everything isn’t right with him but he feels much better now and everything will be okay, he says he can see hes really upset about this but hal wants to have him sit down, take a stress pill and talk things over
- Hal says he his work will be back to normal and he knows hes made mistakes, hes acting like a real person
- Dave is inside hals brain and hal tells him to stop but again cannot control daves action
- Hal says im afraid dave im afraid, he says my mind is going, he says I can feel it, I can feel it and keeps repeting that as dave unscrews parts of his brain
