Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey was a science fiction novel ahead of its time when it was first published. Humankind had not yet set foot on the moon, yet Clarke dreamed of reaching for the stars. This dream, however, was accompanied by some questions. 2001: A Space Odyssey offered its reader the chance to debate, among other things, the definitions of evolution and intelligence and also made them doubt their reliance on their trusted electronics. The first question that is posed in 2001: A Space Odyssey is that of creationism versus evolution, starting with the moment where the man apes first come into contact with the monolith.
ESSAY 2001: A Space Odyssey, by Stanley Kubrick is the focus for the visual experiment regarding colour in the final project of (Colour and Lighting) course. The director thinks clearly that, there’s a basic problem with people who are paying attention with their eyes: Those who won’t believe their eyes won’t be able to appreciate this film (Agel, 1970).

It is rare nowadays that films would tell great epic stories, without the extensive use of visuals. Therefore my full praise can only go to the innovative technical aspect of the film balanced well with concise story
The savages and Kurtz, in fact, belong to the heart of darkness. The description of the scenery by Marlow adds something vital meaning to the title of the novel.

During the ten years that Nolan took to write the screenplay for Inception, Nolan has carefully hidden so much detail for the audience to absorb and interpret, that it’s almost impossible to catch every single clue. From the names of the characters, to specific reappearing numbers, to the exact length of the film, every little detail has a purpose and meaning, and every single detail builds up on Nolan’s goal- to incept the audience. As somebody that has watched Inception 5 times, I can definitely tell you that although Inception isn’t one of those alien-space-battle type of movies, it is without doubt included in the genre of science-fiction.
