The Monolith is a metaphor for BBC.

BBC always takes us to the next step in human evolution.

It was a good story about the evolution of intelligence but the director got really high near the end and turned it into an incomprehensible mess. Just read the book.

This.
The book explains it - it's hard sci-fi while the movie is a drug trip masquerading as sci-fi.

Remember when movies didn't have to have a distinct plot behind them, but instead held characters and scenery above the story progression?

I kind of miss those days, I think of movies like BladeRunner where the plot is a boring detective movie but what makes it interesting is the characters and how they react towards actions of pain, fear, loneliness and inevitable death.

Apocolypse Now, where the character is hunting a general, but in reality its about distinguishing yourself from humanity and their moral precepts to becoming nothing more than a soldier.

All of these things are told through the characters and their surroundings, they could have had the same movie but without any real story behind it and it would have been just as good. Thats why these stories never make really any sense unless you watch them.

Anyone else miss that way of driving a narrative in a movie? They used to be so much more compared to now.

Nigger even the fucking Greeks knew the Earth was round and that was over 2000 years ago

protip pal, everyone knew it was spherical. even those gosh diggitydarn christcucks who held back Galileo from becoming an interdemensional KANG. flat earth shit was cooked up by the kikes as a distraction.

Godamnit, is there anything bad that those fucking kikes AREN'T responsible for?

judaism itself. that was Satan.

Frisbee golf.

Solaris was better

overrated meaningless artsy fartsy stoner fuel

...

Christcuck spotted.

says the jew

What religion do you believe Jesus was?

Guys, just fuck already.

Jesus was boss kike.

Go to church, faggot.

...

You retarded christcucks can lie to yourselves all you want, but jesus was a kike.

The monolith is the movie screen

Jesus Christ was the first Christian, autists. Why do you think our entire calendar is based on his birth year?

Read a fucking book before you try to destroy another thread with fedora-tipping.

What did he mean by this?

It's a story about our evolution and the growth of technology told in the manner of an epic.
In the beginning we are shown apes who, with the help of the monolith, learn to create tools, and they use it to conquer their environment.
We move forward several million years and humanity has now mastered the Earth. As the Earth is no longer able to sustain our growth as a species, for this reason we look to space to as a means to provide for our constant need to expand.
But there is a problem. While our species has managed to thrive on the Earth, we are not in the least bit suited for survival in space. Because of this, technology, which had initially spearheaded our advancement on Earth, has now become a crutch in an unfamiliar and hostile environment.
HAL 9000, in this sense, represents the inevitable apotheosis of our technology. Where technology has been allowed to grow to a point in which it nearly surpasses ourselves.
In the final confrontation between man and machine, HAL is defeated and man endures, proving ourselves ready to move onto our next steps.
The final scene is purposefully meant to be strange, as it's supposed to be showing our evolution into the next stage of existence, something rationally incomprehensible.
That weird hotel room Dave is placed in at the end is supposed to be a safe place of sorts for his mind. A waiting room to help shelter him and provide comfort through the trauma of what is truly being experienced. In it we see some glimpses into the reality of what's happening, specifically that an extreme amount of time has passed. At the end, the monolith appears again to finalize Dave's evolution, creating a new being suited to master the environment of space.

Yes.

Well written synopsis there.

ditto.

It's just a bunch of bullshit and gay boring classical music. Ugh! Mom! Nothing's even happening.

Don't talk shit about Blue Danube.

It was shit

t. Tarkovsky

Dude Space Lmao

Even this user had difficulty understanding what was happening without aid of the book.

What was actually happening is the monolith had created a an artificial human environment from his scanned mind and recorded radio wave broadcasts. At one point he tests some of the synthesized food only to realize it has no taste. This isn't clear to the viewer because Kubrick was high as fuck near the end and decide he wanted to create something artsy instead of stay consistent with an explainable science fiction framework. The viewer is left questioning if this wacky nonsense is all in Bowman's mind because the poorness with which the intended scene was filmed makes them think it's a dream.

...

No, some greeks, like Aristotle, suspected it was curved since ships appeared to disappear down over the horizon. If they had telescopes they could have easily debunked this.

Whatever nigger.

...

Shit tier Sci-fi. Where are the explosions?

Get your maymay straight skippy. You're the fedora atheist, I'm the supposedly christian flat earther.

Bill Cooper xplains it all.

The film is essentially man being tested by a higher being. We chase the monolith from the Earth, to the moon then to Jupiter. Each stage requires certain amounts of time and progress for us to succeed.

God's role in sparking man's evolution at key junctions.

Pretentious bullshit.
