Feedback on 2001?
 
I believe Kubrick to be a general tease, this movie no exception.
 
The monolith might as well be a blank white space- a bunch of nothingness
WITHOUT the signifying sound and fury.
 
The theme: a facist dream-hope of "man's" intellectual progression- "what a
wonder it could be, let's not screw it up!"
 
HAL: just another stereotypically repressed homosexual who loses it,
without the sad eyes and soft, thin mouth (but can't you just imagine those
baby blues?).
 
Jerry
