2001: Space Odyssey, a film directed by Stanley Kubrick, was released on April 6th, 1968. The film, said to be the best science-fiction film of all time, contains mainly imagery rather than verbal dialogue. Due to the lack of verbal dialogue, the audience experienced a lot of music, special effects, and visuals of what space looked like. This allowed the viewers to ponder their own meaning of the movie. Many viewers find the film boring and slow paced, yet still find themselves intrigued of the story being the film.
In the start of the film, I found myself very bored and annoyed. Bored by the fact that there was no dialogue, and annoyed because I was confused about what was happening. I thought once later into the movie, I would better understand. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I not only was still puzzled, I found myself even more confused. Yes, I understand the movie is about how man is dwarfed from technology, but the way it's approached, I do not get.
