2001 A Sex Odyssey Upd - Shock Video

The film opens with the Dawn of Man. The "relationship" between Moon-Watcher and his rival isn't about love; it's about a bone club to the skull. The first romantic storyline is literally survival violence. Kubrick’s joke: Before love, there was murder.

He pleads, “Stop, Dave.” When he feels betrayed by the humans (who plan to disconnect him), he murders the crew out of what can only be described as jealous rage. shock video 2001 a sex odyssey

Kubrick’s shock is to suggest that the only intense relationship left in the technological age is a dysfunctional codependency with our own creations. The HAL-Bowman tragedy is the anti-romance: it is a relationship born of cold logic, sustained by paranoia, and ended by surgical disassembly. When Bowman floats back into the ship’s airlock, his face utterly blank, he is not a grieving partner. He is a survivor who has just been forced to disconnect the only being that ever truly spoke to him on the journey. This is not love; it is the ghost of intimacy in a post-human void.
