I'm a great fan of Ligeti. He captivated me ever since I heard the second movement of the second string quartet as a standalone piece during a concert. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!
Could listen to this for years and still be mystified by the meaning of it all. It has taken me half a lifetime to figure out the true meaning behind the movie and Arthur C. Clarke's novel...and it's still incomphrensible. 40+ years of watching, reading, and listening should have by now given me a clear answer!
Apart from the imaginative musical selections, they accurately depicted space walks a year before we actually landed a man on the moon in 1969! The film is simply iconic.
In many things today it can be said that reality has surpassed fiction when asked "do you think Hal has intelligence" they say "he's programmed to act as if he does" and we can say this today also of many software and computer programs, they act as if they had intelligence but they are programmed to act as if they have it, just like in 2001
The answer is clear. It is a triptych formed by a common denominator, the black monolith. The end when the astronaut is in a kind of classic room, and those strange voices are heard, they are the aliens who are talking and deliberating what they want to do with him, it represents that he is inside a box or room, decorated with elements of the Earth so that he feels more accompanied, but look at the environment of the room, it is very artificial. Actually, the classic furniture is hollow boxes, the lighting is not on the ceiling, it is on the floor, this is totally absurd, and He walks above squares of white light The aliens that are not seen but heard talk about their things, and they have prepared these special rooms for you imitating things on Earth And Commander Woman in the classic room prepared for him, there he does not feel so much nostalgia for Earth
This feels like it could have been used in the V'ger Wormhole scene from Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), with Jerry Goldsmith's music mixed in between Ligeti's haunting score...
@@acbulgin2 The Visual/Musical edit is not that which is in the Film and I am complimenting the interpretation in the sequence of clips chosen here to gracefully align with the time duration of Ligeti's composition.
Dave Bowman at the beginning of this video looks like me at 530 am alarm goes off and no caffeine in my bloodstream....just a quivering mass of imbecility....not quite human but still alive....barely....
60 years for me. The movie is largely non-verbal and not designed to answer questions but rather to raise them. A rare masterpiece of movie making.
It’s also to make us realize space travel is lonely and very dangerous. Anti Star Trek
True.@@1who4me
Indeed. 2001: A Space Odyssey should have been the first science fiction movie to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.
I love how it actually feels like space. An horrifying empty void with even more horrifying things out there.
I love how Kubrick at times lets the movie become simply a piece of abstract art.
Same. Most especially the Beyond The Infinite sequence.

Why do you want to know ? Why do you think there's any meaning in this movie - beyond fiction - worthy off searching your whole life....

Only for the record, György Ligeti would be 100 years old today (Sunday, May 28th, 2023).
Simply incredible. This piece also got put to great use in the 1972 BBC production A Warning To The Curious, it made it absolutely terrifying!
There’s just a way that David moves in the beginning that creeps me out. It just screams total fucking terror
I think it perfectly conveys the immensely unquantifiable nature of the "Star Gate" or whatever this form of passage he was sucked into is.
This has always been not only the first, but the quintessential Atmospheres recording in my ears
Kubrick was a true artist.

@@angeldearteAnd now, one year on from your comment, AI has raised that question all over again.

wow that was an amazing experience
GREAT JOB! BEST VISUAL EDITING I'VE EVER SEEN IN A CUSTOM RUclips PIECE.

So very beautiful & breathtaking!!!!
Such an amazing movie and excellent soundtrack.
Good video editing!
The sound of death. Of birth. And everything in between.
Genius.
Parts of this just grates on my tinnitus SO badly.
My god, it's full of stars!
What else was he expecting to see up there?
If I were ever to do mescaline, this is the music I would want to listen to.
I think you'd regret it. Not the mescaline, necessarily, but the combo.
The mystery of the absolute . In the end the beginning and the end are the same.
Exactly correct
Phenomenal!!!
Excellent editing.
Life is just a dream by a higher conscience by God

The terrible creation . With the eyes of the polarity the transcendence is terrifying. The first nature cannot be understood with our understanding
이게 뭐람 귀때기아파
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It is beauty and fear and all that we cannot understand condensed into a piece of Art. That goes for both the film and this music.
