As part of Variety's 100 Greatest Movies of All Time, director Todd Field wrote about why '2001: A Space Odyssey' forever changed cinema.
This essay is one of several contributed by filmmakers and actors as part of Variety’sThough now considered one of the major artistic works of the 20th century, in 1968 Stanley Kubrick’s “At its New York premiere somewhere around 250 people walked out. Many critics had difficulty reading the film. Kubrick knew it demanded repeat viewings, and through sheer will managed to convince the MGM brass to keep it in theaters. After a few months “2001” took root in America’s burgeoning counterculture.
Like Joyce’s “Ulysses,” Kubrick’s stylistic and technical innovations forever changed the form. His level of imagination, execution and wholly original art, wielding never-before-seen tools — going so far as stealing scientists from NASA — is, as the one-sheet states, “A Real Trip.” Cinema and, dare I say, mankind took a monumental leap forward.
Culture took cues and clues from “2001” and drafted off it. From Bowie’s Major Tom to Steve Jobs’ design aesthetic, every aspect of our world has and continues to be informed by this film — including the way we fetishize and fear the hive neural AI inside the one-eyed machines that rule our lives — a fact that makes many prone to view Stanley Kubrick as an actual prophet instead of a mere filmmaker.
Throughout Kubrick’s life his intelligence was fed by his curiosity, and his fearless ability to self-learn. Stanley was dubious of all formal education. That included the supposed know-how of people working in the industry. In this way, he was a pure amateur, and able to make his art with the unreasonable enthusiasms of an amateur. How lucky we all are that he never turned pro.
