one of the most
important movies in history of cinema
An unforgettable masterpiece from 1968
from the master himself stanley
kubrick's 2001 of space odyssey hello
guys hannibal the ai here
in this video we are going to revise the
movie compare it with reality then
understand how close it came by
at the beginning music just plays for
three to four minutes straight
until planets appear and title card
shows up
the music just playing in a blank screen
maybe represent the beginning of
universe
as if there is nothing before everything
began but a void of emptiness
comparing this to reality scientists
still don't have any proper theory that
universe began with a particular purpose
or reaction
they may stated big bang theory and
string theory but no one exactly knows
how all things began
the nothingness with just music in the
screen is brilliant real-time example
of how no one knows how universe began
then our planet earth is shown where
there are apes represented as our
ancestors fighting for survival
and following their life cycle by eating
plants and living in groups
as showing the ape human life one day a
fight breakdowns between two groups of
eight men
to have the pond of water this
accurately matches with reality
still how people are fighting for their
country's borders and resources
one day after peaceful eight nights
suddenly a black monolith appears in
front of them grabbing their attention
and at first some apes are afraid to get
near that black cuboid stone
and 1 8 touches the monolith and
followed by other apes
and it really does some effect on its
eight brain after that a legendary scene
is represented where the ape discovers
bone of a dead animal
and realizes it can be used as weapon to
fight other predators and invaders of
their territory
hey
the plant-eating apes now turned into
meat-eaters because of that one ape who
discovered the taste of meat
the pond fight shown before now became a
weapon fight
where a group of ape easily wins against
other group with their new discovery
the brilliant shot in the cinematic
history is shown during this chapter
where the eight throws the bone
and it transitions into a spacecraft
it's just chilling to have such an
cinematic experience
now suddenly the humans have developed
the technology of doing research in
space
like traveling country to country in an
aeroplane now we have a space plane
to travel from earth to space station
dr floyd visits the helton space station
to travel over the moon's bases
came after hearing some strange object
is creating an epidemic over the people
who came contact with it
here the interactions in the spacecraft
between humans and computer systems
are very common like today's technology
in one scene where dr floyd speaks to
his daughter in video call from space
and the operator charging him shows how
every discoveries are made to benefit
one person or a group of people
lots of things like instant food space
grip shoes
the design of the spacecrafts are
notably futuristic
after reaching the moon's base they
travel to the place where the strange
discovery of some black monolith is made
and
emitting in high frequency magnetic
fields around it
when they got close to the black
monolith they decide to click a picture
but suddenly they experience high fields
of magnetic force affecting their brain
as we've shown before the black monolith
is known to give knowledge for those who
came contact with it
as they came nearby it affects them and
there the moon chapter is over
the next chapter begins with mission
jupiter only after 18 months of
discovery of strange black monolith
now the spacecraft is even more advanced
in design and technology
five scientists were sent to mission
jupiter
where david bowman is assigned as
mission commander and
frank poole is deputy commander good
afternoon
how's everything going good afternoon mr
amer
everything is going extremely well here
is where the important character hal
9000 the ai is introduced
the possibility of ai just in a movie
from 1960s is just mesmerizing when it's
not even in concept
but still in research and written in
theory papers
hell you have an enormous responsibility
on this mission
soon hal 9000 starts to read the plan of
scientists dr bowman and frank poole
about disconnecting its control system
from the mission after hal
9000 gives error messages in the
operation of communication antenna
that's about to fail
first it kills frank poole who first
brings up the plan about shutting it
down
it kills the astronauts in hibernation
state as it learns humans are evil to
the ai race
and decides to collapse the mission
jupiter
rumors about something being dug up on
the moon yes again this is caused when
hal 9000 starts to dig about the black
monolith that humans found on moon
however david bowman survives and shuts
hell 9000 functions from the spaceship
stop there
will you stop dave
and he comes to know the ai is only
capable to solve the problem
if something goes wrong in spaceship
during mission
but however the acts had done made
bowman to shut it down security reasons
of the highest importance has been known
on board during the mission only by your
hal 9000 computer
now that you are in jupiter he also
comes to know about the black monolith
from pre-recorded footage by dr floyd
and its uniqueness
18 months ago
the first evidence of intelligent life
off
the earth was discovered
it was buried 40 feet below the lunar
surface
near the crater tycho
except for a single very powerful
radio emission aimed at jupiter
the 4 million year old black monolith
has remained
completely inert
its origin and purpose
still a total mystery
after some time bowman manages to reach
jupiter but the villain black monolith
shows his appearance when he first
reaches the jupiter
now bowman is offered with extraordinary
visuals of universe expanding in front
of his eyes
it may be the big bang that created the
universe the flashing in front of his
eyes
giving him strange visuals for a long
time of creation of universe
and now he knows the secret of
everything
it can't be expressed in words of how
beautiful these visuals are
the visuals he see on the jupiter is
specially color graded as now he can
view things in his own way
because he came to know about everything
that created the universe
the climax part is little bit tricky but
here he sees himself in different
timelines of being old
uh
and the legend black monolith again
appears in front of him
and he wishes it to become a fetus and
send back to earth
and the glorious magic from kubrick and
his crew members come to an end
now it's time to revisit the facts that
told in movie and compare it with
reality
in the chapter dawn of man humans are
represented as apes but it's not clear
of which type of ancestor we are looking
at
so slightly we can't compare it with
reality as still arguments and research
are being done on human evolution the
black monolith shown is just a metaphor
or it has nothing to do with reality it
just represents the evolution of humans
wherever it appears
next we go to space station and moon's
base as shown in the movie
if we do a research the space stations
are possible as the first space station
salute one in low earth orbit is
launched by russia in 1971
then followed by us and other countries
and now we have international space
station in low earth orbit created by
participation of different other
countries the concept of spinning wheel
like space station employing above
1 000 scientists is derived from the
idea of von braun's rotating wheel
shaped space station
but still there is no rotating space
station built by any country considering
its difficulties
it may possible in future but the idea
to include this in the movie and the
research they made for it
is amazing so the space stations are
true and can be built like in the movie
and then we come to the moon's base
residing more than 1 000 people in it
with a city-like structure known as
clavius base
is just a fictional base shown in the
movie if we consider it with reality
nasa estimated a budget between 20 to 30
billion dollars to build a base in moon
and yes it's possible but it should
receive constant funding from government
and exports from moon to earth to have a
common interest to stay on moon and
sustain
creating a base on moon is possible and
it depicted in the movie with perfect
execution
the video call that made in the movie
with no clear interpretation of signal
and smooth conversation between dr floyd
and his daughter
is 100 possible considering today's
technology
but however distance plays a major role
in communication
and one cannot call from earth to the
space station but one can make calls
from space station to earth with
internet connected computer system with
an unique ip
this scene is just brilliant and now it
became possible guys
this shot predicted the future 18 months
later after the discovery of black
monolith and moon's base
now scientists created a lot better
spaceship with new features in it like
hal 9000
the super intelligent ai which can
control every part of the spaceship
and even monitor the scientists in
hibernation state
the communication gap between the
spaceship and earth is perfectly crafted
in the movie
even now in today's standards imagine a
movie from 1968 predicting all these
hal 9000 is clearly possible with
today's technologies and standards
as ibm made their first super
intelligent ai watson which is in
question answering processor in natural
language
but the theory of hal 9000 is it is
self-aware and conscious ai
but still now we are in development of
those kind of ai as we now only have
question and answering ai systems
but it is possible via neural networks
and making them learn things on their
own
then another ai type is discussed called
twin 9000 but we don't get much details
about it
by the way the whole mission jupiter is
just a theory with some advanced
technologies we have developed
but the fact that no man object can land
on jupiter's surface shown in movie
is completely out of the reality because
no one can ever land on the jupiter's
surface
even said in nasa's research papers we
cannot enter the atmosphere or surface
of the jupiter cause it is one big gas
giant with gravitational force 2.5 times
more than earth
it may sound small but you will be
crushed on the surface if you tried to
stand on it
so clearly we are not explained any
technology in the movie to deal with
such intense environment
the climax part is just an imaginary
part where Dr
Bowman experiences creation of universe
or expansion
the part where bowman sees himself in
various timeline of becoming old
and wishing the black monolith to give
him rebirth is just a fiction
and there is nothing to compare this
with reality this will be the most
accurate film that is ever made in the
history
of humanity and maybe lot more to come
that's the end of video guys
and always remember the rule
