(Advanced Film / Lit SPIN) Clips from 2001 - A Space Odyssey



 Clip 1 - From Bone to Satellite

Using a bone as a weapon for the first time, an ape beats down the leader of another tribe to reclaim control of a watering hole. Triumphant, the ape tosses the bone into the air which transforms into an orbital satellite, jumping four million years of human history.

Clip 2 - Sketches

Bowman (Keir Dullea) shows Hal 9000 some sketches he's worked on and also discusses the mission.

Clip 3 - Hal 9000

The Hal 9000 computer refuses to obey an order from Bowman (Keir Dullea) by simply responding in monotone, "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Clip 4 - Beyond the Infinite

Having gone from Jupiter and beyond the infinite, Bowman (Keir Dullea) arrives in a strange bedroom with Louis XVI-style decor.

Clip 5 - The ending

Dave is near death. In front of him monolith shows up - some kind of step to a higher evolution level made by aliens. Dave dies and is reborn  - perhaps a metaphor for purity, harmony and love.
