Can Someone Explain 2001: A Space Odyssey To Me?
Alright, so I just finished watching the movie at 5:30 am. Yes, probably not the best idea but anyways we got through it and while it was a pretty damn good movie considering its age, all three of us that were left awake simply couldn't grasp the ending of it and the meaning behind it.
So I must ask you, what the hell did I just watch.

Edited by Chaz: 9/7/2013 12:28:04 PMThe Discovery is a penis The Scientists are sperm The escape pods are semen Many scientists (sperm) die on the way, only one survives The Monolith is a vagina The Stargate is the fertilisation process The Renaissance room is the womb The sperm develops into an infant The infant exits the same way it entered, through the vagina (monolith) The room is decorated with Renaissance art is because Renaissance means "rebirth" Also HAL is a condom that breaks

2 RepliesIt's important to understand what the monolith is in movie. It is a device left behind by an advanced race of aliens who want to encourage "Mind" or intelligence. They do this by giving evolution a kick in the direction that suits that goal. For mankind, that direction was enhanced aggression and tool use. After we started to grow, we were monitored by the monolith on the moon. When it was discovered, it led us to Jupiter. When we got there, we proved that our development was worthy of the stars. So one of us was selected. Bowman. He was brought into the monolith via the 'Star Gate' which was the lights in the tunnel. Then, when Dave reached the inside, he was pushed through his life in a quantum sense. When he experienced a moment, he became that moment. Finally, at his death he was given a cosmic understanding and reborn as the 'Star Child.' The secondary plot involved human politics and lies corrupting a pure AI in HAL9000. Driven mad by his contradictory instructions, he terminates the crew with the intent of completing the mission on his own. Did that help?
