Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Stanley Kubrick (1964)
10 months ago by rose56 to c/filmsframes
It's sad when you look at old movies with 'stupid' politicians and realize that the ones today make their counterparts look like geniuses.
Here's a fun story about 2001.
In the original story, the monolith was a glowing diamond. The effects team couldn't get a good diamond, so the production replaced the diamond with a strip of black tape in all the storyboards. Eventually some one did a mockup of a black slab and Kubrick liked it.
The movie opens and every critic has a different interpretation of what the monolith is supposed to be. A book, a tombstone, the UN Building...
Years go by, and the original author is doing a Q&A. A kid gets up and says he's figured out the mystery. He says that the monolith's proportions are 1 : 4 : 9, the squares of 1,2, and 3.
The writer liked the idea so much he used it in the sequel.
Originally there was a short story that was an astronaut finding an alien artifact on the Moon.
Kubrick liked it, and asked Clarke to develop the idea.
The novel and the movie came out at the same time.
Eventually, Clarke did some sequels, 2010 and 3001.
2010 is a pretty good movie about a joint Russian/American mission to retrieve Dave and Hal's ship.
This move has so many excellent frames.

I thought someone photoshopped Ryan Stiles of Whose Line Is It Anyway fame into the picture
If you haven't seen Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop worrying and Love the Bomb then do yourself a favor and watch it.
It holds up extremely well, and it's seriously one of the funniest movies ever made. Incredible satire.
