Analysis on the addition and deletion of movie 200 1 space roaming

After finishing the creation of "Dr. Strange Love"

Kubrick turned around.

Turn your back on the audience

Began his exploration of the universe.

Film is an audio-visual comprehensive art.

Kubrick used this lens in 200 1 A Space Odyssey.

Try to reduce its subjectivity.

That is, the lens only retains the recording function.

Through his lens

We can feel the mysterious charm of space.

But 200 1 A Space Odyssey is more than just a visual feast.

It is also a feast of hearing.

Plot sound

That is, the voice in the story, the words of the actors, and the sound made by objects.

In the movie "Jupiter Mission"

There is always a rustling sound.

Sounds like a computer case.

For example, the sound of air conditioning working

(Not for recording)

Sometimes it's big and sometimes it's small.

Forever exists

But there are times when it is absolutely quiet.

After David turned off the communication power in Warehouse C, there was a short silence, but then there was the rustling sound. )

1. Hal was silent when he killed Frank (Yellow).

This is the first absolute silence.

With Hal's quick editing.

Usually the director will use this kind of jump shot, which will cooperate with dramatic sound effects to achieve the purpose of emphasis.

And Kubrick

Simply use the rhythm of the sound to match the camera.

Not only achieved the purpose of emphasis

It also shows Hal's calmness and horror to the fullest.

Frank was silent when he struggled in the air.

How to express the sense of suffocation in space?

That is to make the audience feel the same.

When this paragraph appears on the big screen,

Because there is no sound around.

So you can't help but hold your breath.

You get nervous, too.

David came out of the cabin to save people, and the space was silent.

When David first left the hut,

Accompanied by rustling and David's breathing.

Did not depict the silence of the universe.

Going out of the cabin for the second time to save people,

Every time a lens is sent into space,

Will be silent

David was silent when he returned to the cabin because of the explosion.

In space

Silent explosion

David went back to the hut and prepared to resist the tools.

After discussing mute.

Discuss it again

Switch between mute and rattle.

David saved Frank.

Often

A long shot of a spaceship trip.

A long shot of Frank floating in the universe.

David controls the long lens of the spaceship.

……

They are all long shots that make people sleepy (by mistake)

But when you look at it,

Don't feel sleepy

Even I am always surprised by the sudden change of camera and sound.

This is Kubrick and the sound engineer.

Master the rhythm of sound

For example, Haydn's Symphony of Surprise.

Give the sleepy audience a little stimulation from time to time.

[? ヘ? ]

Hal's voice

Compare the voices of two crew members.

Hal's voice is closer to his ear.

This is the sound spectrum of Hal and David in the logical storage center.

Upper half high frequency band

It has been going on.

That's the ever-present rustle in the audience's ears.

Lower part

Mainly Hal's voice, followed by David's breathing.

If it is explained by synesthesia.

The background sound belongs to the high frequency band.

The corresponding visual colors are: bright light white.

Hal sound belongs to the low frequency band.

The corresponding visual color is deep black.

Hal's voice contrasts with the background sound.

At first, this contrast will make Hal's voice

There is a feeling.

Later, this contrast will give people a creepy feeling.

Hal's deeper and deeper voice

Like a demon whispering.

Spatial connection of sound

Jupiter and the infinite sky

David came to the white room.

Accompanied by his breathing.

In front of the mirror

Advanced sound re-enters the picture.

We heard the sound of the knife colliding with the plate.

From David's point of view

We saw an old man sitting at the table eating.

Breathing sounds disappear.

The old man turned around.

It's old David

then

The sound of the old man pushing the stool

The sound of the old man walking

The sound of the old man putting a cup.

etc

know well about

Suddenly, there was the sound of dropping a cup.

When the old man picked up the cup

We heard breathing again.

Advanced sound re-enters the picture.

From the perspective of the elderly

An old man is lying in bed.

Or David

Breathing sound is weak

panting

Look in the direction of the old man's fingers on the bed.

It's Blackstone

When the camera came back,

Accompanied by Zarathustra Tustra, Tastra said

David has become a star child.

Just using sound, Kubrick will

The three states of David's life are connected.

Kubrick ran out.

There is no traditional Hollywood classic three-point lighting.

But with real light.

That is, your own light source in the scene.

He used scene sounds in 200 1 space roaming.

It has the same effect.

The extended meaning of sound

Wind and insects on the grassland

The sound of machines running in space (rustling)

You will find that the sounds are strikingly similar.

This metaphor

Don't explain too much

(? ω& lt； )

The pursuit of sound effects in other sci-fi films

Sound effects are used for 200 1 space roaming.

In fact, it is very scarce.

Monotone indicating signal sound

Boring cabinet exhaust

The dull sound of mechanical operation

Compared with the previous

It was the heyday of Hollywood science fiction movies.

Mostly monsters and aliens

There are also science fiction films of the former Soviet Union and Japanese feature films.

Wait, these are all about sound effects.

It is much more prosperous than 200 1 space roaming.

Then there is the sound effect of science fiction movies.

(Refer to Lucas Movie Sound Library)

Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens, etc.

In terms of sound effects, they are also pursuing a sense of technology and futurity.

have only

200 1 space roaming

The minimalist pursuit of sound effects

Let a work that has never been compared with it so far.

Standing there alone.

Make a rustling sound quietly.

Non-plot sound

That is, soundtrack and voiceover.

There is no movie soundtrack.

Use all existing music.

Combination of Classicism and Space

Application of atonal music

Bold innovation without losing beauty.

The artistic conception he created has gone far beyond the strange space created by those electronic synthesizers.

From this time on.

Space is dark and mysterious.

Into sacred majesty.

About the Blue Danube Blue Danube

A wonderful combination.

Waltz and rotating space station in space

Elegant, soothing and quiet.

This wonderful combination reaction

Can't explain ┓ (? ` )┏

Professor Zhou Haihong also said that although isomorphism synaesthesia is an innate ability, it can let you know what color the sound is.

But aesthetics

This can't be forced or imitated.

There is also a main title; Zarathustra figure Stella also said.

As soon as I hear this tune now

It feels like an orangutan is going to knock on something.

This song appeared three times in the film.

The first time was the opening ceremony.

The second time was when orangutans learned to use tools.

The third time, David became a star.

Needless to say, this music

Even if you don't understand Nietzsche's Zarathustra.

You can totally feel it.

A majestic new force, like sunrise, gradually emerges with the music.

Only this piece fits Kubrick's 200 1 Space Roaming perfectly.

Only Kubrick's 200 1 A Space Odyssey can truly materialize this piece.

Many people fell asleep while watching this film.

(I admit it! I fell asleep the first time I saw it)

There are too many long shots.

But some people say this story is difficult to understand.

There is nothing difficult to understand in this story.

The first part is the story of orangutans.

Many people say it's too long.

Actually less than 15 minutes.

And the story is very strong.

First of all, some scenes

Then orangutans and tapirs.

Orangutans are eating grass.

Tapirs eat grass and orangutans slap them.

The orangutan was eaten by a leopard.

As soon as the camera turns

Two teams of orangutans began to compete for water.

The leading team drove away the other team.

evening

Orangutans sleep together.

The next day, the orangutans saw Blackstone.

Orangutans get together and touch black stones.

a new day

Inspired by Blackstone, an orangutan began to hit bones with bones.

(This association montage is obvious enough! )

Then this indicates that tapir's tragic and heroic life is over (error

Tapirs are gone.

The orangutan ate the meat.

The orangutans all took the bones.

Little orangutans study bones.

sunrise

A new day has begun.

The orangutan picked up the bones and began to protect the water source.

Both sides are playing.

The leaders of both sides have seen the obvious gap.

The leader of the leading group has been able to use tools and walk upright.

And!

Evolutionary orangutans can use tricks.

It pretended to withdraw its troops.

Then fight back

The enemy advances and I retreat.

This is the most interesting passage I have ever seen.

I hate disassembling movie plots.

But Dawn of Man is an exception.

Just fifteen minutes.

Every shot has indispensable information.

What it contains

There are also personal promotion, social progress, and competition for national territorial resources.

Such a rich story.

Maybe it's just another movie.

The last three chapters

Especially the trip to Jupiter.

Used the most space in the movie

But this is a matter with a small time span.

Contrary to the article "Dawn of Man"

A Trip to the Moon

I won't go into details about the plot.

About half an hour.

What it expresses can be understood through lines.

Many long shots

Is describing the life of space, planes and crew.

Blue Danube.

And Kubrick's beautiful polishing of airplane molds.

These fragments

It is an ultimate audio-visual enjoyment.

The climax of this article is that Freud took his team to see the black stone on the moon.

That follow-up really has a strong sense of substitution

The astronaut's helmet also shows Kubrick holding a camera.

(Shocked! Kubrick doesn't wear a helmet on the moon.

Look at this helmet! !

Then when this group of people were ready to take pictures as a souvenir,

A high-frequency sound stopped them.

The end of the story

In this place, it is generally understood that Blackstone issued a warning.

Journey to Jupiter

I won't go into details about the plot.

Zhihu, who doesn't understand why Hal wants to kill people, has many wonderful answers to see.

Finally, Jupiter and the infinite sky

More abstract

It is hard to understand what the White House was like when David arrived.

So the whole movie

You can say: I understand, but there are a few small things I don't understand.

Yes! Just say it boldly.

You know what this movie is about.

You really understand most of it.

You should have your own understanding.

Because the director's audio-visual communication is really in place.

But you dare not say.

Because you haven't reached the real truth yet.

You are still between reality and illusion.

After watching the movie, you will be eager.

Kubrick, can you give me more information?

But Kubrick only left you a number.

Many years later

When two brushes and three brushes are used.

You think Kubrick is implying something.

You will find that at the dawn of mankind

A shot of orangutan's daily life

Although very vivid.

But he's not just a gorilla.

Drink water and eat meat.

Freud and the rest of the crew are in the back boat.

So is eating and drinking.

David and Frank

The scene of eating and drinking water is also essential.

Even if David is old.

Sitting alone at the dinner table

Still facing food and water

Food, water and sleep

It seems that all these things are indispensable to us.

hum ...

There is also the "extended meaning of sound" in the previous analysis of sound.

rustle

hum ...

This well-thought-out and terrible connection

Kubrick told us

Oh, no

Kubrick asked us to tell ourselves.

We are no different from orangutans.

How come!

We are human beings who invented and created spaceships to fly into space!

How can we be like those orangutans?

real

When orangutans meet Blackstone,

They know how to use tools.

What we did.

That was thousands of years later.

It's just the constant transformation and development of tools

From 1 to 100 is easy, and from 0 to 1 is difficult.

use a tool

We have gained a more civilized society.

Upgrade tool

We flew into space.

Conversion tool

We created a robot with personality like Hal 9000.

But when we met Blackstone,

"come on

Take a picture. "

[? _? ]

Humans are not aware of the real use of Blackstone.

It seems that we are not as good as orangutans.

Is the human civilization we are proud of the same as the bones of a thousand years ago?

probably

But when Hal killed Frank,

It's different.

Tools killed humans.

It's like

Gorillas throwing their bones into the sky.

Be killed by a bone

Can people be killed by what they create?

I thought of an interview.

Jeremy Paxman's interview with david bowie.

"I think at that time, at least until the mid-1970s, we all lived under this single and absolute social disguise.

There are known truths and known lies everywhere, and what we believe is neither repetitive nor pluralistic.

There is also a view that we live in a binary world, which is why such a media network was born.

Jeremy thinks Bao Ye is exaggerating.

"I don't think we have even caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the Internet.

In my opinion, how the Internet will change this potential of society, whether it is good or bad, is unimaginable.

I believe we are at the forefront.

It's too exciting. It's too scary. "

Jeremy thinks the Internet is just a tool.

"It's an alien creature."

At that time, the internet was not as developed as it is now.

Therefore, Bao Ye's statement is really forward-looking.

But Jeremy was right, too.

Internet is a tool.

If you look at it now,

Is the Internet a tool?

Will it be the next Hal 9000?

Will humans be killed by the internet?

Back to the movies

David finally became a star.

This means that David has completed evolution.

Evolving human beings

What kind of universe will you face?

Expect.

Wearing headphones

Listen, the blue Danube.

Facing the final cast

I was lost in thought.

If David doesn't turn off Hal, he will be killed by Hal.

That won't change anything.

People will hide the failure of this climbing plan.

Hal still keeps the record of never making mistakes.

Until the next time, the next members of the climbing plan repeated the same fate.

why

suddenly

Before landing on the moon, Professor Freud sneered at the idea that Blackstone had deliberately buried it.

When David ordered Hal 9000 to sing Daisy before he died, his trembling eyes gradually became crazy.

This scene reappeared in my mind.

People are arrogant.

Humans don't believe in Blackstone and evolution.

Even David

It was also when he was dying that he contacted Blackstone.

Chose evolution

But outside the movie,

No Blackstone

No evolution

Only by constantly boiling water more efficiently.

I took off my headphones.

In the silent night

I can hear my breathing clearly.

And the sound of the computer exhaust fan

Sasa

It's like Kubrick is saying
