The film is about the worst fear of a parent, which is what if there's something wrong with the baby?
vanowensbody You can use a lot of words to describe Stanley Kubricks mrcteapiese "2001 A Space Odyssey" but confusing is not one I would pick. It's actually a very simple movie set in three acts: Act 1 The Dawn of Man early man encounters aliens in the form of a black slab who teach man how to use weapons and the rest, as they say, is history.Act 2 The Moon Man advances enough to make his way to the moon where he encounters his long lost friend the black slab a second time. The slab sends a powerful signal towards Jupiter. Act 3 Infinity and Beyond The spacecraft on its way to Jupiter to investigate runs into a lot of problems because their computer, HAL, goes haywire. But they do find the black slab once again, orbiting Jupiter. This time, the aliens take one of the spacemen, David Bowman, along for the ultimate ride a trip across the universe. What does it mean? Who knows. Kubrick went to his grave never explaining what the end meant, because he wanted to force us, the audience, to contemplate what the ending means, on our own, without his take on it clouding our thoughts and possibilities.
