In this Kubrick's cult movie, a spaceship is controlled by a computer Hal 9000. Hal is supposed to be faultless, but during the voyage it starts to show signs of its own consciousness.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 movie by Stanley Kubrick based on Arthur Clarke's short story The Sentinel. The story and the movie discuss many themes, but the most important one would be the theme of evolution of mankind; it is important because one can see how the actor/author focused on it more than any other theme.

Mythological patterns appear everywhere in our day-to-day lives. All the way from the ancient stories told by our parents to the modern, digital entertainment we enjoy today, we cannot seem to escape one of the most common characteristics of myths: the stages of the hero’s journey.

In this breathtaking film, the character Joseph Cooper, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey, demonstrates multiple stages of the hero’s journey as he searches the universe for a new planet for the human race. Joseph Cooper’s insane journey begins with his call to adventure, a gravitational anomaly which conveys a message containing map coordinates leading to the secret, underground headquarters of NASA.
