input with an instructive presentation on the contemporary reactions G. begins the session. In the course turns out that "2001" caused to his world premiere rather skeptical, irritated by adults and responses. About the visual and technical brilliance is indeed widely consensus, but others criticized the actual and perceived length of the film, the moderately-developed characters and the lack of a classic plot: a first track for us, that the usual parameters for evaluation classic Hollywood films for "2001" are not really suitable.
That such excessive demands - even if the film is sorted now firmly in the canon - still be observed today, and particularly for us to even guides us through associative and free discussion of our observations. That the film has length, is beyond question; surprising in the light of changed viewing habits, however, is that it was "2001" is also perceived in 1968 as a stark deceleration.
An indication of the already decelerating acting Overture takes us on general observations of the use of music in "2001". It is striking that the music industry, particularly machine performances, but rarely human activities accompanied: happy dance spaceships in orbit, even a sexual union is implied. In contrast, humans appear in "2001" as a bare Rational following officials, just as they would have - you realize, "2001" as one of his stories of the people below the horizon of his relationship to his art - exkorporiert emotional and aesthetic aspects of their being in the course in the technology . So it is also the on-board computer HAL 9000, which appears in "2001" at most "human": He is subject to errors and hubris is vain and vengeful when he was overthrown and forced to beg for mercy. Against this background, the conclusion of "2001" as the overcoming of physical dependence of people suggest as a threshold step in a new level of being human.
Toward the end, we discuss some aspects of art history. this finds the iconographic near the scene of the aged Bowman on his death bed to Michelangelo's "Adam" is, and the similarity between the monolith and the "Black Square" by Malevich.
