In keeping with our general focus on technology this semester, the next writing assignment will be a film evaluation of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This 1968 science fiction film was directed by Stanley Kubrick and is considered among the top films of all time. The film is noted for its high production values and scientific and technological accuracy. It is also somewhat difficult to follow at times, so you might want to check out Kubrick 2001: The Space Odyssey Explained, which is an online flash presentation. Check out the official trailer for the film and try to watch the film on your own time. I'm going to try to show at least portions of it in class, but this is the kind of film that may go over your head the first time you watch it and is worth multiple viewings.
Can't wait to see what this video is all about... I've heard from my older siblings and from parents at different times about this video, but never actually saw it. I've even seen it referenced on t.v. shows or previewed on AMC. I don't know much about it so I think I'll enjoy seeing this film finally, since it's apparently a classic film from the 60's.
