2001: A Space Odyssey PART 2 - What’s the Difference?
- 9 years ago
Last time on What’s the difference we took you from the echoing strains of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" to our lonely astronauts on the Discovery One. Today, we’ll take you the rest of the way through the Stargate, to further explore the differences between film and page.
2001: A Space Odyssey is a landmark in visual and cinematic storytelling. But in the final film a lot was left up to interpretation. Arthur C. Clarke’s novel explored the same themes, but in a very different way. From the meaning of the monolith, to HAL 9000’s motivations, there were a lot of themes and scenes that diverged between book and film.
Have you read 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Arthur C. Clarke’s other works? What do you think of the changes Kubrick made in his adaptation? What’s your interpretation of Stanley Kubrick’s film? If you’ve read the novel, did it influence your viewing of the movie?
What other works would you like to see us explore on What’s The Difference?
