I went and saw the remastered edition of 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY that Christopher Nolan had supervised and which screened here in LA at the Cinerama Dome in 70mm. I had never seen the movie before, but pretty quickly, I realized I had seen most of it through other films over the years that had clearly been inspired by Kubrick’s masterpiece or just straight ripped it off.
I’m still not quite sure what the film’s about. Rather, I haven’t quite settled on a specific idea. My feeling while watching it was that it was about the journey of humanity from fear-driven tribes to fearless gods.
