2001: A Space Odyssey - Enzian
11/23/09 22:34 Filed in: Film
The Enzian is showing 2001: A Space Odyssey this Tuesday night at 9:30 PM. It figures that I’d have to work until 9:30 that night. By the time I could arrive, it’d probably be twenty-minutes past start time. Can you imagine seeing such a movie on the big screen? I saw Dr. Strangelove at Enzian last year, and was delighted to see the movie in the format it was intended for. Too bad I might not be able to say the same for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
2001: A Space Odyssey
A four-million-year-old black monolith is discovered on the moon, and the government (while hiding the situation from the public) sends a team of scientists on a fact-finding mission. Eighteen months later, another team is sent to Jupiter in a ship controlled by the perfect HAL 9000 computer to further investigate the giant object—but on this trip something goes terribly wrong. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is a masterpiece of filmmaking. Director and (with Arthur C. Clarke) co-screenwriter Stanley Kubrick has created a visual and aural spectacle that stands as one of the greatest achievements ever put on celluloid. The film begins with the “Dawn of Man” segment, about the evolution of apes, and then ventures into the future, taking a look at what the world might be like in the first year of the 21st century. Kubrick’s film is a triumph of technological storytelling, with stunning sets and a brilliant, overwhelming soundtrack. Long dialogue-free scenes sparkle with indelible images backed by powerful orchestral music, culminating in an unforgettable, inscrutable tale of birth and rebirth, human evolution and artificial intelligence, the past and the future.

A quick post about dyslexia and the spelling of artist names. Why is the web littered with incorrect spellings of Antony and the Johnsons? I'm not going to name the websites that improperly refer to Antony Hegarty as Anthony, but in my opinion if an artist refers to him or herself as such, then I should accept the name (out of respect). If i truly enjoyed the music, you'd think i'd take the time to learn the artist's name accurately. If you search the web, you'll notice many writers add the extra "H" in Antony, even though Hergarty's site, Secretly Canadian, and wikipedia all respectfully list as Antony. One might say, it's obvious that his real name is Anthony, but I've yet to read a confirmation of that. Regardless, would you call Mos Def -- Most Def?
