This movie is overrated nihilistic nonsense. For mankind to be reborn they need to commit suicide? Kubrick was a coldblooded hack.
>BUT DUDE LONG TAKES ARE FOR PATRICIANS You can have long quiet scenes that are both good and bad. Just because its long doesnt automatically make it good fucking hell.
>DUDE THOSE SCENES MAKE US APPRECIATE TECHNOLOGY AND SHIT A competent director would have directed those scenes in a way that doesn't put a hyperactive 5 year old to sleep. It's just shitty film making, no excuse.
>IT JUST DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH LASER GUNS AND SJW PANDERING FOR YOU LIKING Fuck off. Before Sunrise was litterally just two people walking around a city, talking and it wasn't boring for a second. You know why? BECAUSE IT HAD A COMPETENT DIRECTOR!
>DUDE BUT THE AENDING WAS PRETTY LSD TRIPPIN LMAO So it's confirmed the drugs have destroyed your brains. 2001 fans are literally DUDE WEED LMAO tier

The book was written concurrently with the movie production as a companion piece. The book explains everything that was going on, and it makes the movie much much more enjoyable.

This movie literally contains the esoteric origins and future of man, and if you are too brainlet to comprehend it, maybe read a book called the bible.

The other guy was using the reddit explanation. The movie's ending is easy as fuck to understand and I have no idea why people have suck big problems with it: David goes into a pod to get the monolith, the monolith throws him into a portal which makes him travel through time and space, he gets into an alien zoo where he lives or the rest of his days, then he dies and the monolith turns him into a god-like being Didn't even read the book, cunt.
You are profane. It's not our responsibility to help you understand this knowledge, especially when you don't want it.

God, you guys are the literal definition of pretentious psueds

Its not psued. The movie details a plan. It details a belief set of a ruling class that you have no influence over. It combines various layers of religious theology and philosophy to present the ultimate choice of humanity. Eventually you will all make this choice, and evolve, or you will remain behind.
But you so called thespians reduce it to a human zoo, because Kubrick gave you the most base explanation possible.
lads... it's literally just Prometheanism, that is, technological optimism. The "philosophy" of the movie is that there is no ontological human limit, there is only an epistemological unknown... Through technology mankind progress into this unknown, and in doing so, overstep its conception of itself. Since there is no transcendental horizon or limit to "humanity" technological progress can allow it to become starchild.
It's not a complex movie, and it's not some masonic film that Kubrick made after he faked the moonlanding with the NASA illuminati etc. The people (normally americans) who make youtube videos about the esoteric "symbolism" in this movie are so retarded.
That's easy to say now, but when it came out in 1968, it was groundbreaking. The special effects alone were far beyond anything put on film before. This was almost ten years before Star Wars and the effects were just as realistic. One could argue that it was this movie that woke directors up to what was possible in a science fiction movie. I imagine Lucas and Spielberg as teenagers in a theatre somewhere watching this movie and thinking "I just had the most amazing idea!" Kubrick opened the door to today's entire modern science fiction genre with this movie. Show some respect to your elders.
