Just wanted to quickly voice my thoughts on 2001.

Its odd, Ive only seen this film once, and Im trying to get to it again soon, and I really liked it the first time around.

I was able to deal with it for the simple piece of advice my dad gave me before watching it; "Dont try to understand it, just enjoy it for what it is." This really allowed me to just sit back and watch Kubrick at work, along with the original writer (forgotten his name,) and not sit there and try to mentally decipher the meaning of it all.

Anyway, its strange because despite the fact that I liked this film, I do not rank it anywhere among my favorites. It almost feels as more Im respecting the film, not liking it, like I felt as though I didnt really connect with it on an emotional level at all, considering its so spacy and robotic, very little human action.

I dont know if this is a good or bad thing. Im having some trouble voicing how I feel here, but hopefully you understand somewhat.

Anyone expierience similar feelings toward this movie?


I dream in widescreen.
