    It was 1965. The special effects were practically black magic for those people.

      The real reason boomers love it, they love everything israeli, even if they don’t know it’s israeli.

      The entire film is a limited hangout.

    Literally smoke weed and any moronic thought that enters your head will be more kino than this pile of trash. Boomers love this film because "it's deep"...when in reality it was Stanley Kubricks regurgitating one of his psychedelic trips. It is devoid if any substance or meaning.

      Isn’t it based on a book?

        In the same way Spielberg hired Michael Crichton to write The Lost World. The book was made as a helper for Kunrick to make the film.

        nta but the book and movie were made simultaneously, although the script was finished before the book was iirc

        Sort of. It's based on a short story by Arthur C. Clarke that Kubrick liked that later became the 2001 novel, which was developed at the same time as the movie with both Kubrick and Clarke working together. Apparently the novel was closer to an earlier draft of the script, hence some of the differences. I have yet to actually read the novel, but the film is my favorite of all time.

      1. there's little dialogue and this is great because most dialogue consists of people yapping on about useless shit to fill up the pages of the script.
      2. You had to have a lot of creativity to put out something like this with a budget of only 10 million dollars. Making these detailed set designs, Starcraft models, costumes were all costly especially back then.
      3. great soundtrack
      4. filters zoomers such as yourself

        Look I'm not a Tarantino gay who worships dialog and le heckin quips, but I still acknowledge that it is needed to fully express the human condition. Having le colorful acid trip aesthetics does nothing for me cause I've already experienced it.

    My dad used to love this movie, he'd go on and on about it, but I was too young to understand it. By the time I was in my 20s, too busy to give him the time. Now in my 30s, he's dead. I can't tell him how much I also ended up loving the movie as well.

    Everytime I see that poster, insurmountable sadness fills my heart. I failed my dad. I wasn't the friend I could've been.

      My dad's also dead and I'm in my 30s. In my 20s before I went off to law school my mom told me she asked him who his best friend was once and he answered it was me. It honestly made his passing hit a lot harder

        I didn't think losing my dad would hurt this bad, but the guilt sure made it worse. I don't go around crying and shit, but I'm having a hard time coping with it and don't know what to do about it.

          Try not to focus on the things you feel bad about in the way you acted towards him. I guarantee you it's hurting you more than it hurt him

      One time my dad bought me a CD of a band I used to like just bc he was trying to be nice. He was trying to do it as a surprise and was like
      >"Hey you know that band you like? Blink 182?" They released a new album
      >OH I don't really listen to them anymore
      >oh...
      Then I saw the CD ye bought for me when I went to get something out of the trunk

    Kubrick is the most overrated HACK in all of cinema. No I’m not joking, ALL of his films are bloated, boring, schlock that is the definition of midwit pseud entertainment.

    $1.70 for a 90 second phone call from space in 2001? Seems like they didn't realize just how bad inflation would actually be in the future lmao.

      It was made before Nixon abolished the gold standard and made the US dollar a fiat currency, so they had no way of knowing.

      I caught a Twilight Zone episode the other day and the guy pulled up to the gas station and filled his car up and asked how much and the gas station owner said 30 cents

        When I was a kid in the early 2000s, I could still ride my bike to the gas station and buy snacks with coins. Things have gotten really bad, really fast.
