Clarke collaborated with Kubrick in writing the screenplay, but I do not think that either had much to do with the creation of HAL. “Open the pod bay doors, HAL” remains one of the most frightening lines in any sci-fi movie. I need not remind viewers of recent advances in voice-recognition and artificial intelligence, which make HAL so relevant to the 21 st century, even if computers in 1968 were large mainframes that took up a lot of space and consumed a lot of power.

It has long been my belief that Kubrick set out to make a movie about space and ended up making a movie about computers. HAL is one of the most malevolent monsters in science fiction, even if “he” was represented only by a glowing red light. Another reason-and this is why the movie remains my favorite – is the character “HAL,” the computer that runs the ship. Another is the role of the legendary author Arthur C. One is how director Stanley Kubrick took great pains to portray the basics of spaceflight to an outer planet as accurately as possible – the tedium of a long journey, the silence of space, the need to place most of the crew in suspended animation to save on food and oxygen, etc. Among the many space-themed science fiction movies that have come out in recent decades, this one stands out among fans for a number of reasons.
This year marks the 50 th anniversary of the premiere of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
