Summary
It goes without saying thatStanley Kubrickwas one odd duck.
But he had his reason, and, to be entirely fair, it was actually a reasonable one.
The pods, the only place outside of HAL’s earshot (but not his lip-reading).
For that matter,HAL 9000, the antagonistic A.I.
with the disturbingly calm voice.
And while it’s reasonable to think that Kubrick was simply paranoid, he wasn’t.
After uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.
Take the cautionary tale of 1956’sForbidden Planet.
Relax, dead Stan - it’s probably a replica.
