57 years ago, the sequence of opening this movie was a masterpiece that followed

If the two towers, gladiator or casino royals, pointed to the viewers, the sequence of opening was left in the memories of all those who saw it, even after decades, and they like the film. Because this is a feature film that we love or hate.

The start of the fan

The trumpet begins to hit some rising note, then violin and cellos and Siberian shots, as at first glance. Then the piece is updated from the beginning, this time accompanied by drama bearings, in addition to the string tools, the horn is added. It’s a song Thus spoken to Zarathustra He signed Richard Strauss.

In the image, we see the sun hiding behind the planet. This is the earth. Fixed plans followed by nature, then monkeys. The latter is organized as separate groups and the only restraining force is the following intimidation. This opening sequence also puts monkeys against the backdrop of a strange monolith, as if with magic and that they begin to love.

Suddenly, one of the monkeys occupies the bone and realizes that it can break things if it gets strong enough. Violence defines our species according to Kubrick, because the monkeys we are shown are our ancestors. The monkey begins to bone in the air, it turns itself into it until it steps back and transforms into a spacecraft. Odyssey of the species in the shortest thing. The cosmic odyssey can start.

Why did the movie have such an influence

In 2001, Space Odyssey is one of the main films in the late 1960s, as it inspired the filmmakers’ generation, which was immediately released from Steven Spielberg to George Lucas, through Martin Scorsese. Its special effects (signed by, by the way, Pederson, Valley Weesers and Douglas Pump) were revolutionary and experimental and the field of opportunities.

At the same time, the film will leave more than one viewer on the tile with its thinker aspect, leaving the traditional scenario and leaving its conclusions before the public interpretation. There will be a failure in the 2001 theaters when it came out, paying only years and its consistent stores.
