Yesterday I stumbled upon a russian website featuring a 104 high-quality pictures package from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey for download. I love this movie as much as the whole Kubrick’s filmography so I couldn’t help but share this lovely package. Both him and Arthur C. Clarke were geniuses.
Here is the zipped file for a delightful experience.
Also, be sure to check out the HAL Project, specially the screensaver on the “Downloads” link.
I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophical content…I intended the film to be an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just as music does…You’re free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film. Stanley Kubrick, 1968.
