After all, in the melody of the blue Danube, flying or walking slowly, looking out the window at the small blue earth; in the deep and eerie singing and noise, the spacecraft slowly swept across the uninhabited stars; and after completing the transcendence, the orchestral music Zarathustra in the ensemble said that the shock and ignorance brought by these sound and picture combinations have formed new classics through repeated viewing and interpretation, just like the birth of long shots and montages, as vivid as ever. The landmark identifies the unique and mysterious beauty of "Space Opera". And this attempt is still just the tip of the iceberg of this epoch-making film.
In my opinion, what Kubrick shows in the movie is transcendence: advanced sci-fi vision, transcendental transmigration through reincarnation, and finally the birth of Superman. Black Rock is both a plot thread and a weird, mysterious image marker (reminiscent of tombstones and gates) that not only drives the film's tight-knit "set" ending, but also serves as the focal point of all doubts (Black Pot) ), and finally completed itself after an unprecedented dream, and even sublimated into a totem of "transcendence".
From this point of view, the logic of the movie is always self-consistent, and all human scenes can be regarded as experiments under the observation of Blackstone, just like observing a baby waiting to be fed in an incubator, the final wormhole journey and looking back at the giant baby. Hence a more understandable symbol.
Kubrick never explained the film, because the message of the film is too powerful, and the description of words is difficult to complete in front of the image. The whole film is full of biblical sense of religious rituals, Eucharist, apparition, miracle, Nirvana It's all there. The 10-minute drug addiction that film history is famous for is so maddening and so flirtatious, like purgatory and like the gate of heaven, and the three ingenious montages in the room after crossing, so Concise, yet so claustrophobic and terrifying, how pale it would be to describe it in words! In the 160 minutes, Laoku used images to inspire fresh, confused, dull, nausea, fear, surprise, madness, depression, worship, and various feelings. When finally people and stones are one, the sun is rising, all the colorful colors are mixed into a white light, the plot, images, The three emotions have all made up for themselves, and the movie has completely abandoned human nature and left alone.
God said, let there be light. The great harmony of the universe is nothing but this.
The answer to life, the universe and everything, 42 is cool, but it is even more amazing that the old Ku in 1968 answered in such a simple and profound way.
Frankly speaking, this movie is not my thing, it is too full to even contain a trace of humor, but it is such an inhuman movie, it is infinitely close to the "ecstasy" of religion, and, with other Compared with great movies, it does not rely on profound dialogues, mysterious performances and mature scripts. Everything was "made out of box" by Kubrick and the original author Clark. In order to achieve special effects, the old library team made it. The crater and many equipment eventually exceeded the budget by 4.5 million US dollars, delayed for 16 months, and the final release was almost a disastrous failure. During this period, it required a strong will of personality, which cannot but be admired. This is Kubrick, giving us so much time to stare at those slow, dignified shots, as if to carve grit into our minds.
It’s not just the pictures that are engraved in my mind. After watching the movie overnight, the melody of the Blue Danube still reverberates in my mind, so I got up and wrote these thoughts.
