2001: THE SPACE ODYSSEY EXPLAINED


I've never seen anything quit like this. It's a lengthy and thoughtful analysis of Kubrick's 2001, presented in the form of simple yet very effective flash animation. I don't agree with all of its conclusions - but then half the fun of 2001 is disagreeing about what it all means.

    When it comes to figuring out what 2001 is all about, I recommend reading the book, which is much clearer about a number of things.

    The book has never really interested me. I prefer the ambiguity of the film.
