intro：This film is a grand work filled with philosophical propositions that Kubrick spent four years creating. A large black monolith stands before prehistoric humans, who have just begun to understand tools, marking a milestone in evolution. The same black monolith appears in various places in the universe; they stand on the moon, float in space, carrying some kind of mysterious meaning. The current year is 2001, and in an effort to discover the origins of the monolith, humanity has embarked on a mission to land on Jupiter. On the spacecraft are three astronauts in hibernation: Captain David (played by Keir Dullea), pilot Frank (played by Gary Lockwood), and a highly intelligent computer called 'HAL 9000'. HAL malfunctions during the space voyage, causing Frank and the three hibernating crew members to perish one after another, leaving Bowman to battle the computer. In a fit of anger, David shuts down the central system, rendering HAL completely inoperative. Now, in the vast universe, only David remains as he heads towards Jupiter. By passing through the bizarre and magnificent stargate, David seems to enter a peculiar time and space, where there are endless cycles of life and death for humanity and ultimate knowledge of the universe...
