2001: A Space Odyssey

2001: A space odyssey is a slow but interesting movie. In this movie Kubrick combines visual effects with sounds rather than with intense dialogues throughout the movie. In my opinion, the music used in this movie was great and help to make the scenes more intense.
The scenes were Dave is traveling by the kind of tunnel with colorful lights is the part that most catch my attention. The way these scenes were edited helps to create a confusing and desperate feeling. First you see the brilliant lights with powerful different colors for a long time. You feel that you are the one traveling through this tunnel. Then suddenly and just for a second you see first Dave expression of panic, then lights again, and then his very open eye. This is repeated for a few minutes and at the end he is in the spatial pod inside a bedroom that has a very classic décor. How he arrive in this room? I don’t have any idea because by the way the scenes were edited you just jump from Dave’s eye to this room.
Other scenes that I found kind of confusing were the ones where Dave is outside the pod but still in this room and he began to explore the place. Then he found an old man eating in one of the rooms, then the very old man in the bed, and then the fetus after the strange black figure appears. It takes a time for me to understand that all of them were the same Dave in different steps of his life. First when he arrived there, then old, then in a deathbed, then back to the fetus. It was confusing because in all the shots appear the previous Dave, so you think there are two persons in the room.
