2001: A Space Odyssey PART 2 - What’s the Difference?
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Last time on What’s the difference (RIGHT HERE: https://goo.gl/FwlXzX), we took you from the echoing strains of "Also Sprach Zarathustra" to our lonely astronauts on the Discovery One. Today, we’ll take you the rest of the way through the Stargate, to further explore the differences between film and page. Subscribe: http://goo.gl/9AGRm 2001: A Space Odyssey is a landmark in visual and cinematic storytelling. But in the final film a lot was left up to interpretation. Arthur C. Clarke’s novel explored the same themes, but in a very different way. From the meaning of the monolith, to HAL 9000’s motivations, there were a lot of themes and scenes that diverged between book and film. So many differences, in fact, that we split this video in two! Go watch Part 1 here: https://goo.gl/FwlXzX Have you read 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Arthur C. Clarke’s other works? What do you think of the changes Kubrick made in his adaptation?

Sounds like two guys who had no idea how to end the same story. My personal opinion is that the studio got tired of Kubrick going over schedule and over budget and pulled the plug before he had time to wrap it up. To save face Kubrick decided to pull a Pee Wee Herman and say "I meant to do that!"

the movie is about a director lacking the tech to make the movie less bullshit and more awsome so instead we get trippy nonsense
-
looks like crap
-
Can anyone help me identify what piece is playing at 8:53?
-
Do, Blade Runner /Do androids dream of electric sheep? Classic book and film.
-
Great video, but please stop "doing voices". It's hard to listen to.
-
personally I finally got around to actually watching the movie and I had to scim a lot of it because of boredom

3 words: F*@$ING DRUG TRIP

Another fantastic video, but I don't think you give film fans nearly enough credit. Many of us have not (yet) read the book but the outline of what was intended was what many still interpreted it to be. Yeah, there are a lot of details left out in the movie and a lot of vagueness but that goes hand in hand with one of the major themes, any true evolutionary step and advancement would be impossible for our current incarnation to interpret as anything but magic and beyond complete understanding.

watching this and the last episode were like reading an old issue of Wizard Magazine, full of sophomoric jokes and toilet humor, and to be honest, it got annoying REAL FAST. Which kinda surprised me considering i loved reading Wizard.

The movie was about pie, and how delicious it is.

I love it when hipsteridiots/millenials discover things we've known forever, but somehow try to make us think that they're the first. Do you have to be so assholey in your description? And I'd like to know why you mention it but make a point of refusing to pronouncing Dr Chandra's name? Are you lazy fucks that couldn't be bothered? Or is it that your racism is showing through when you make fun of foreign names?
-
I must have been one of the few who read the book before I saw the movie so I understood everything. I can't imagine the fever dream madness people who only saw the film formed in their heads trying to explain it.

Maybe a What's the Difference? on 2010? That movie and its book have differences, such as how in the movie Dr. Chandra tells HAL the truth about their upcoming predicament, leading HAL to help them escape; whenas in the book he doesn't tell him. I like it better in the movie, cause it makes HAL's fate seem all the more redemptive.
Or how about in the book, there was mention of a Chinese spaceship reaching Europa first, but it ends up being destroyed by the Monolith near Jupiter. -
Wasn't the final monolith in the book on the surface of one of Saturn's moons, and not floating in space?
-
you guys should really redo this one, I didn't understood half of the stuff you said when you tried to be funny, like the last bit, with the "shekepearean" hal, what the hell was that about the space baby? and many, many other bits.
-
Although this was interesting to watch, the mocking tone throughout and stupid accents felt disrespectful to not only the content but also its audience. Bit frustrating when it could have just been a great two-parter.

Wow...Bowman was kind of an asshole in the book
-
I thought the 2001 film was about art and visuals pretty much. The book made a lot more sense.
