    a lot of people are idiots if they are looking for ‘answers’ in entertainment products.

    i don’t expect my car to tell me the purpose of life. i expect it to get me places.

    and the purpose of film class is to teach you how films work as a medium and learn to analyze them as such. not to entertain you.

      I don’t think you understood what I meant. Most movies wrap up all the plotlines at the end. 2001 just leaves the viewer wondering what happens next. You see the star child, then the movie just ends. There’s also no explanation about the people that built the monoliths and transformed Bowman.
