The meaning of ... revealed

This guy analyses several films on his YouTube blog and explains the deeper meaning behind them. Interesting viewing even if you don't agree. First up, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Part 1


Part 2

Very interesting. I saw this film when it first came out and could make no sense of it whatsoever. This guy's review actually is actually quite good and could very well be what Kubrick had in mind in making the movie.

Thanks Matt.

You're welcome! Yes, it is certainly one of those films that requires a lot of deeper thought and investigation. I also saw one about The Matrix a little while ago by this guy but he seems to have taken it down.

Interesting, I would have thought the Matrix to be a bit too on the nose for such an analysis, at least compared to a Kubrick film. Too bad he took it down, perhaps I'm missing some other point to the series.

Me too. From what I remember he raised some good points but I didn't necessarily agree. I think sometimes people look for deeper meaning in things where it doesn't really exist and the director/writer/author just wants to tell a story.

I couldn't agree more with that point.
