How to evaluate the film 200 1 A Space Odyssey?

This film is a masterpiece full of philosophical propositions that Kubrick spent four years making. A big black stone stands in front of prehistoric people, who have just begun to understand tools and entered a milestone in evolution. The same Blackstone still appears in many parts of the universe. They are standing on the moon, floating in space with some mysterious meaning. ?

In the first five minutes of the film, there was no picture, no dialogue, and it was as silent as the universe. Lengthy, obscure and philosophical are the most intuitive feelings that movies give people.

The narrative line that left the deepest impression on the audience was the "killing event" of artificial intelligence.

The main line of this passage tells that in 2000, humans found a black stone on the moon that sent a strong signal to Jupiter, and the US government sent a spacecraft to Jupiter to check it out. There are two astronauts, three hibernating scientists and a supercomputer named HAL9000 on this spaceship.

One day, Hal warned that the AE-35 component of the spacecraft communication system would fail, and the astronauts found nothing unusual after inspection. They speculated that Hal had made a wrong prediction. This space trip has gradually become terrible, because Hal 9000 has never been missed before. The astronauts panicked. They wanted to turn off Hal.

The climax of the whole play appears when astronauts David and Hal are fighting for their lives. For a supercomputer, turning it off means killing it. In order to complete the task, Hal preemptively killed the sleeping scientist and an astronaut. The surviving David finally subdued Hal and went to Jupiter alone.

Since then, artificial intelligence Hal 9000 has become a vicious and cold representative of artificial intelligence.

Extended data:

Because cinematographer Jeffrey Ainsworth didn't want to use complicated special effects, all the special effects in the film were shot in front of the camera.

Because the static background picture and the dynamic picture of back projection widely used at that time could not create the real effect that Kubrick wanted, this film pioneered the visual special effects technology of front projection. The African background in the film and a large number of spacecraft scenes in anthropological tool scenes are masterpieces of this special effects technology.

After the film came out, this technology began to be widely used, and it was not until the 1990 s that it was gradually replaced by the green screen system.

The front projection technology needs to use a separate projector and place a single mirror 45 degrees in front of the camera. The projector with a 90-degree angle to the camera projects the background picture on the monocular mirror, and the monocular mirror reflects the image on the background curtain made of actors and reflective materials, so the camera blends the images of the actors and the background curtain into the mirror.

In this process, the actors will not be affected, because the light reflected by the mirror is very weak, far darker than the live light, and the picture on the high reflectivity background screen can also clearly appear in the lens.

In order to shoot the vast picture of Africa, the film crew needed a background curtain as high as 40 feet, which was unprecedented at that time. Such a huge background screen certainly needs the largest projector.

But at that time, the existing large projectors were too big to be placed on the background screen, so the crew and MGM's special effects director Tom Howard (Tom Howard

Howard) jointly designed a projector, using 8 x 10 inch slides and the largest water-cooled arc lamp.
