Make sure you get into a reflective, meditative mood, have lots of time with no interruption, and completely surrender yourself to the audio-visual experience in front of you. I'm sure you'll be left with a lot of questions after it completes. And that's what this reflection of man's place in the universe is all about. You'll be intellectually entertained as long as you keep thinking about it. Like I said, this is a sci-fi film like no other.

That is <strong>extremely</strong> interesting! This kind of thing only happens in sci-fi! :-D I'm so glad you shared this <em>factoid</em> - I am very interested in learning more about the experience of finalizing a book <em>after</em> its movie adaptation has been completed. This is extremely unusual, to say the least! Wow! That is extremely interesting! This kind of thing only happens in sci-fi! :-D

Well not quite, but Clarke did finish it AFTER the movie was made, so he does say that it was an interesting experience to write / tweak the book after viewing rushes of the film! I suppose thats a very expensive method of writing books- 1. Write screenplay 2. Make movie 3. Write book :) Ah ha… the funny thing is that the book is an adaptation.

I suppose thats a very expensive method of writing books–
1. Write screenplay
2. Make movie
3. Write book

However, I prefer reading about space research and watch documentaries as opposed to watching sci-fi movies. As a result I haven't seen this. Will check it out sometime. I really liked 12 Angry Men. I am gonna enjoy reading your blog over the next couple of weeks :) I am interested in whats ‘out there’.

Nail-biting dramatic suspense, but not at a fast pace. Got you! :-) This happens many times in art - where the viewers interpret differently or much more than the artist intended. It is what makes art, well, art! :-) Someday, I will post about my interpretation of The Dark Side of the Moon, which I know is not exactly what Pink Floyd intended. Let me think about the camera technique angle more. Offhand the only one I can think of is using jerky/hand-held camera movements to reflect a character's running or fainting or whatever. I can't think of any in terms of longer time line, such that it applies to plot elements or the story line. Yes, you are absolutely spot-on. Nail-biting dramatic suspense, but not at a fast pace.

Ha ha ha! Yes, I know it is your favorite film. In my posts, I will try not reading others' versions of this tag so that I keep my writing fresh and first hand. Something makes me feel you have gained more insight into this film than I have and that makes me envious! :-) No, I will not give up this chance of writing about my favorite films, so I will do them at my own pace! :-) I’m happy you classify my interpretation as ‘perhaps equally valid’!
