Science fiction masterpiece full of philosophical propositions -200 1 A Space Odyssey

This film was released on 1968, and it is known as "the milestone of modern science fiction film technology". The American Film Academy rated it as the historical science fiction film 1. In nearly two and a half hours, it depicts the incredible things that human beings will face in the vast space. The film combines special photography skills and accurate picture sense, vividly expressing human imagination of the universe.

The film was nominated for four Oscars for best production designer, best director and best screenwriter, and won the Best Visual Effect Award, and the Best Photography, Best Sound and Best Art Design Award of the British Film Academy 65438-0968. (Introduction to Baidu Encyclopedia)

The film was born in 1968, even one year before the American moon landing. Although the film is dull and obscure, it still can't affect his important position in film history. Many ideas and editing techniques in the film were imitated by later films. After more than 30 years, he still maintained his artistic achievements.

The film mainly tells the continuous progress of human society under the guidance of Blackstone:

Under the guidance of Blackstone, the ape-man learned to use tools, that is, he completed the leap from animals to people;

The appearance of Blackstone on the moon led mankind to Jupiter;

Blackstone guided the captain through space;

Blackstone helped the captain evolve into a space baby.

Blackstone's four appearances are absolutely crucial to the film, each of which brings a huge turning point. What is Blackstone? This seems to be the first question that the film wants to ask, but it has not been answered. In fact, this question does not need to be answered. 200 1 A Space Odyssey is essentially about thinking about human history and future. Blackstone, as the fuse of the turning point, can be explained as God, super technology, gene mutation, and even human's own desire for evolution. But in any case, in the face of human destiny, this key can only be hung, and the root of the film lies in human destiny.

This long, obscure and even boring film, but at the same time extremely dazzling and shocking, has actually left the category of science fiction movies and become a classic to explore life and the universe.

Evolution, the concept runs through the whole film. In Nietzsche's view, evolution is the way for apes to lead to superman, and human beings themselves are evolution, and "Blackstone" represents the opportunity for human evolution.

The film predicts that people will eventually become slaves of artificial tools AI. But the difference is that in the present more than half a century, people have not become slaves of AI.

We don't know when humans will touch the next "black stone" and find a chance to evolve again.
