Establishing the monolith had a catalytic effect on the evolution of man, specifically learning to use tools.
Jaxon Edwards
Monolith = silver screen => enlightenment of the masses
Cooper Watson
The Monolith represents a censorship bar as Kubrick wanted to show the true alien influence behind human history but knew he couldn't get away with showing it accurately
Samuel Perez

Parker Wilson

Jack Watson
A meataphor for getting the black dick

Yes, the apes were dying out but the monolith recognized that they had the potential for greatness with a little nudge to get them through a rough time in their evolution.

Anthony Peterson
it means nothing. Kubrick just threw in some random shit while he filmed the Moon Landings.
Hudson Lewis
From what I gather
Black people = apes

READ THE FUCKING BOOK YOU MORON. The book and movie were created together as companion pieces.
Jayden Cox
The script for 2001 has this scene taking place in Sumatra tho
Christopher Rivera
but kubrick said the book sucks and arthur c clarke said the movie sucks
Nolan Young
I say they both suck
Jaxon Gray
They weren't made as companion pieces. They were initially one story Kubrick and Clarke that diverted around 1966 when Clarke was writing a novel based on what they'd already done while Kubrick was focused on the technical aspects of the film and changed the script and how the film was to end up on numerous occasions, even after the premiere. One does not inform the other. They are the same but also crucially different.
Ian Turner
comparison pieces maybe, definitely not companion
i liked the book i read better
