The music makes it worth it.

When this was first in theaters the space/music opening played as a prelude to the movie. The curtains opened/lights went down when the movie actually started.

I didn't word this post very well, but just to clarify: the music isn't really part of the film, but was just used before the true opening in theaters.

So you're satisfied for the three minutes of nothing you have to endure? Nothing to discover. Nothing to dissect. Just some music and a black screen because some dopey cunt loves his "art"
Sebastian Garcia
Is it really so difficult to sit still for 3 minutes without movie pictures to entertain you?

Movies, like books and radios, are mediums where you can tell a story or invoke an emotion. There wouldn't be much of a point if a movie started with "space is big," you have to show it to the audience.
Of course, it's not necessary to do any of that, but taking advantage of the potential that cinema had is what made Kubrick so famous.
>pic related is my point
Nolan Anderson
its about building the experience and atmosphere.
kubrick wanted the cinema-goer to be emerged in the film, and to refocus out of the lobby and ticketstall and ''upcoming attractions''.
also a few 70mm ''extravaganza!!'' films have overtures, intermissions and entr'actes.
i really wouldnt worry about it.

>Was it really necessary
this is cinema we are talking about kid, "necessary" doesn't exist in this world

It's mandatory to have the zoom

Have you never seen the movie? It opens on Earth you dumb shit. With the monkeys.
Jayden Powell
The plot, world, ending and incentives would've been fucked without the intro

Here's a screenshot from the opening rotated 90 degrees. Looks kinda familiar.

>OMG you guise I just watched that really old space movie and it was so boring there was just music playing and hardly anything happens wow old movies are so dumb!
Lucas Myers
Have you never seen the movie?
Gavin Hill
Oh fuck. I forgot about the spooky music at the beginning and a black screen. I thought OP was referring to the space docking scene. My bad.
James Bailey

>omg i watch new movie with arbitrary plot details occuring every 5 seconds so my brain thinks "stuff is happening" woah i have epic deep taste
Jordan Ross
Nah i agree. it sucks

Noah Turner
Yes.
Charles Parker
It shows how far humanity has come from their ape ancestors, but at the same time it shows that we haven't changed that much behaviorally despite technology advancing. Even millions of years later, humans are still shocked and confused and seduced by the monolith, it being a mysterious entity that is so beyond our understanding that it transcends millions of years of evolution.
And when you look at the crew hiding from HAL, you see that they're still those scared monkeys hiding in a cave, hiding from the unknown dangers around them.
Noah James
woah...
Camden Peterson

I don't agree with you. When they hide in the pod it was clearly a calculated moment to try and avoid detection by HAL. Not necessarily fear, but more subterfuge.
