2001 A Space Odyssey Documentary

submitted by Brian Houston

From YouTue: Abridged version of an hour long documentary broadcast on Channel 4 in 2001, it is introduced by James Cameron and features co-writer Arthur C Clarke, visual fx pioneer Douglas Trumbull, and feminist writer/art critic Camille Paglia discussing the ideas behind the spectacle and the unique methodology of its creator, Stanley Kubrick.

Paglia's casting everything in male/female terms is a bit tiring. But it's still good.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I was led to it by a brief mention of 2001 in this fascinating article on space civilizations.

"Man's history is but a moment, that from, from the first second that the, that the first weapon is found, the weapon that is the tool, okay, that is the work of art, okay, that is the penis"

mmhmm...mmhmm...yeah...wait, WHA?

2001 is a gr8 film however a masturbatory indulgent documentaries are pointless.

the woman talking should be put down by a vet cut into peaces using a blunt spade and slowly fed to parana.

non the less a good post as i like 2001 and forgot how much i dislike TV shows of this nature.

Where's the hour long one?

Are most feminists like that?! She has some great comments that help expand the meaning of the film for those of us who have trouble seeing the deeper messages, I find myself disgusted and put off by her obsession with male testosterone, penis-weapons, and the male emotionless drive to destroy and kill anything one gets near. If it weren't for that obsessiveness, this would have been great!
