Not that bad.

It's actually great.

Why does everyone hate it, then?

Because they're plebs.

I cant make anything of it to be honest, except for the space baby perhaps.

It's not straightforward. Just enjoy it pham.

Brainlets everywhere

I've never heard of anyone who dislikes 2001 that wasn't a confirmed pleb. You probably associate with a very low class of person.

The dated light show overstays its welcome, other than that the ending is fine.

I HATED when watched it for the first time at 13 or something.

Rewatching it as an adult, it is GREAT, and possibly the best part of the film.

>dated
It's not a particularly difficult effect to achieve certainly, but I wouldn't call it dated.

>tfw you find out that Kubrick ran out of money and couldnt film the ending he wanted so he had to fudge it with Spacebaby and all these Redditors think it has profound meaning

t. brainlet

Dave becomes a space baby. That's literally the meaning. There's no puzzle to solve here user

When I was a kid I loved the ending. Now I realised with maturity, that it was botched and ruined by budget cuts.

It's a confused movie that ultimately has little content

It's kinda confusing when you watch it the first time. I would recommend reading the book if you watch it and find it retarded, it helps clear some stuff up

If you have an IQ that's over 115 no. Only absolute retards don't like the ending.

who exactly is this 'everyone' you keep referring to

explain it then

Half of the people that hated are truly contrarians that would say anything is shit because it is well regarded by critics. The other half are plebs who say it's boring and confusing.

>2001
>bad

Came to post this.

>Why does everyone hate it, then?

Most people have no sense of patience or subtlety. They hate 2001 because 4 explosions didn't happen in the first 10 minutes and an acrobat in a technicolor costume didn't save the day in the middle of a laser show. People should ask why the fuck people love retarded shit like Transformers and Fast and the Furious so much that you can make 10 sequels that still make a billion dollars a pop.

Said like a true pleb.

It's supposed to be interpreted in any way you want.

Friendly reminder that Kubrick literally wrote the book that perfectly explains the ending.

No, it's patrician.

I still don't get the joke.

But sometimes that makes it good. I like endings where you have to inject your own theories about everything. The same exact thing happened with Anno and Evangelion and it has the best episodes of television (25 and 26) ever created because of it.

You need to find a different "everyone" to listen to.

The people that love the 2001 ending but lambast the Interstellar ending are my favorite type of person to laugh at.

that's more like a beginners guide to start shitposting on Sup Forums...

The people that praise this ending (and movie in general) love to smell their own farts or call closeup shots of hairy buttholes hanging in galleries art. I've never ever seen an ending or film that insists upon itself so much as 2001.

>If you have an IQ that's over 115 no. Only absolute retards don't like the ending.
Expecting a majority of people to have an IQ that, by its very definition, is a full standard deviation above the median group suggests strongly that you yourself are not one of the people with a high IQ. People in the top 10% of the population for intelligence can generally muscle their way through the first day of a statistics class, even if they have no particular gift for mathematics.

>The people that praise this ending (and movie in general) love to smell their own farts or call closeup shots of hairy buttholes hanging in galleries art.
I like all three desu.

it's a mix of classics and obvious shit movies to get people to reply, it's barely a joke

Man, whoever made that really had a hardon for adam sandler. I mean, sure, we all remember Billy Madison fondly, but c'mon now.

Nah, you're just an ADD ridden capeshitter

2001 had a great ending, while interstellar was "lol love is the 4th dimension"

>The people that love the 2001 ending but lambast the Interstellar ending are my favorite type of person to laugh at.
Why? Interstellar had a sellout ending. It was the 2nd weakest part of the film. Just cut the magical resurrection thing off the end and it still works fine.

The weakest part of the film was Anne Hathaway playing the least convincing film scientist in recent memory. Her PHD was essentially just an informed attribute, all she brought to the mission was crying and a sappy speech about the Power of Love.

Don't ever post an image like that again.

Interstellars ending was just too convenient. It's like Nolan couldn't come up with a way to get Cooper back to their solar system so he just said "fourth dimensional humans from the future teleported him back, I ain't gotta explain shit"

>all that Sandlerkino

Lel, this is why I can't leave this fucking place

What do you like about the ending, explain to me how did you perceive it ?

>Why does everyone hate it, then?
Who the fuck is everyone? How many people that aren't related to you do you have conversations with? Is it less than 5? Do you think that's a large enough sample size that you can vouch for "everyone"?
Stop using unqualified statements like this. It makes you look like an asshole.

That, yeah. Nolan was too much of a coward to just kill him. It's a heroic self sacrifice, what's the problem? I don't even mind the "handshake" bit with past anne hathaway, that's kinda neat, but then? Kill him. They already had enough deus ex with bits of information getting out of the black hole, nevermind a whole person and his robot.

Just watched this with my gf. She didn't get it so I didn't have sex with her that night.

So the premise of your argument is that you're literally retarded?
Stop having opinions about things, just in general. I'd consult with a puddle of dog vomit before I brought your keening intelect in on the problem.

I don't really visit any site other than Sup Forums.

Oh come on...you can't get any more boring and pretentious than 2001, it was garbage. Sometimes I think people just pretend to like 2001 so they seem smart to other snobs.

(You)

But I'm implying that its necessary to understand if you are in the top percentage and the majoroty isn't

Basically the room that the aliens house david in is full of clashing interior decorating (modern and reinessance) because they are such higher beings they dont even care about human culture or anything and getting it correct. They are to us as we are to ants they don't care to communicate only observe. The reinassance era stuff evokes bowmans state of rebirth. What makes it creepy as fuck is this is no ordinary room. David and the audience through the pertspective editing experiences time as a physical dimension until he died. He's in a higher dimension experiencing time unlike anyone has before. Its creepy as fuck

(Cont) the reason INTERSTELLAR is babby tier isn't just the exposition machine but thefact that Nolan tried to go full kubrick only to shoot himself multiple times in foot with cliche and exposition. He literally has copied the ending of 2001 and formed it into a hapoy doodie clean cut cliche muh love is the only thing that can transcend space and time ending.

All he had to do was make the ending completely fucked up and crazy and mccogaghey stargating himself back in time or someshit, something you couldn't explain exceot through emotions not a fucking equation used by morse code through a bookcase that's connected to infinity and beyond

Bump

>dude it was a metaphor for sperm race lmao

>pass a truth off as a "joke" that way no one will believe it

well done (((kubrick)))

>all that sandler

Because you and all your friends are 15

There is only ONE thing stopping this film from being no.1 on all the "best of all time" lists. The people that love this film worship it (including me) & the people that hate it only hate it because they are naive & impatient. If everyone had patience in this world & people ACTUALLY paid attention to the whole film without falling asleep? It would be EVERYONES Greatest film ever made. The true monilith of cinema.
No words can describe how masterful this film is. It's more than just a film, it's somthing else entirely. To me, the TRUE meaning of the words "masterpiece" & "experience" is - "2001: A Space Odyssey".

There's more deep meaning and hidden messages in this film than all of Chris Nolan's films combined.
To explain to the Naive and impatient folk. there IS a reason for the 5 minute scenes of (so-called) "nothing".
We spend 10 minutes looking at apes in plain desert, showing us how we developed human behavour for the first time.
THEN....all of a sudden, we're seeing a spaceship & spacestation. Without the 5 minute scenes, The film wouldn't be able to make us appreciate the technology we've managed to create since the "dawn of man".
All those 5 minute scenes of "nothing" are one of the most important aspects of the film.
There is a reason as to why the film plays 5 minutes of music before the film starts.
The song 'requiem' plays whenever a monolith appears on-screen. Stanley uses 'Requiem' to not only create a chilling mood but also give the monolith a voice. 'Requiem' is the monolith's voice speaking to whoever it is facing. By having the music play over the black screen at the beginning of the film Kubrick is actually showing us the first monolith. Doesn’t the black screen go on for a little too long? That was done intentionally by Kubrick. This is the monolith speaking to the audience themselves which suggest that we're about to witness a film so grand and so magnificent that it will open up our eyes to things we've never even thought possible.

If by "Kubrick" you meant Arthur C Clarke, then yes.

I don lik dat muvee cuz it dont tel me wat 2 thank bout it u know i washd it for 3 hour an den i say huh wen it end

>all she brought to the mission was crying and a sappy speech about the Power of Love, and ogre shits

ftfy

How am I retarded? I just said that with 'everyone' I meant 'everyone on Sup Forums'.

But kubrick hated jews.

>Sup Forums has a hivemind
>retarded

pick both

He was a typical self hating jew

Well said. There's maybe 45 minutes of actual interesting stuff in the middle with HAL, and the rest is slow-motion space shots and Kubrick wanking over colours.

Interstellar's ending is shitty because it is a blatant rip-off of 2001

Sorry, but it turns out this movie was never written to have a meaning or a concluding plot. Your nostalgia is a lie.

>t. brainlet

If you read the explanation found in the book, it's really as stupid as you think it is, including the acid trip. But I bet Kubrick had some ingenious meaning in mind when he made the movie that had nothing to do with what was explicitly described in the book, right?

>nostalgia
>movie from the 60s
how old do you think everyone here is?

>Spacebaby and all these Redditors think it has profound meaning
Are you making this shit up? There isn't any profound meaning, but that doesn't mean Kubrick didn't do a good a job as possible depicting what literally happens in the book. Whether that was a good idea or not is another question.

And the answer is that it wasn't.

>There is only ONE thing stopping this film from being no.1 on all the "best of all time" lists.
I'd say the reason is that there are plenty of better movies, but that's just my opinion.

Name a better movie.

Correct. It's a well-shot, but shallow science fiction story sandwiched with postmodern nonsense. Naturally, the HAL plot had nothing do with the larger plot.

t. brainlets

The Shining. It's not a more coherent story, but it has the excuse of there being paranormal shit. It's also more cohesive as well.

Not an argument :D

Although I love The Shining, it still doesn't hold a candle to 2001.

Saying that something is not an argument, is not an argument.

Correct, but when you say something isn't an argument, you're saying it's inadequate because it isn't an argument when it should be. Here, I'm not giving an argument about 2001, but since I'm not talking about that, I shouldn't have to. Responding to an argument by a name-calling is inadequate, and thus, not an argument when it should be.

Okay. I gave reasons why I think the The Shining is better. They were hardly exhaustive, but that's better than what you gave, which is nothing.

So is this another kubrick was genius so they killed him and heres why thread?

Eyes Wide Shut.

That was just etsy porn.

"no"

"yes"

just like the prologue right brainlet?

Brilliant point. My mind has been changed. Going to destroy my copy now brb.

its like he wrote a generic sci fi flick and then decided to make the ending all deep and symbolic out of fucking nowhere, I have a feeling the first people who saw the movie probably walked out thinking it was a pile of shit but then one guy started going off about how they were too dumb to understand it and its just snowballed ever since then with people trying to pretend like they are some kind of intelligent connoisseur of fine art or just going along with it because they dont want to seem dumb

People were actually waiting in line to see this movie back in the day.
