This movie was playing yesterday on TV in Spain while I was visiting the country, what a coincidence.

Bro! You amaze me. Great analysis

Awesome job and review! I enjoyed the book and the movie but man did I ever hate both Amy and Nick. 😅

The editing is fantastic and an excellent analysis, as always! Keep up the great work! Blessings and best wishes to you!

I think Cassidy more like «The Moneymaking Machine» Randy - then the Human Randy.

Brilliant analysis as always. But also a shout out to the video editing!

Yee Haw

I've seen this film about 100 times , always brings you back to covid

Fun fact: In an early screenplay, there was a character called Other HAL, who appeared during the deactivation and introduced himself "HAL's friend". He explains what the malfunction is, tells Dave about the secret mission, and highlights the complex emotional cocktail that formed HAL's progressively worsening mental imbalance. Among those emotions is "guilt, because of your faith in him, and because of his loyalty to you." He definitely felt guilty for the lies and his subconscious knew it, you are spot on there. I don't think the AE-35 error was deliberate, but rather a result of the unconscious desire to be cut off from mission control, who are monitoring his every action and acting as a conscience. Why would he purposefully create an impending failure only to put himself into a position where he is appearing to have made a serious mistake? Why, unless he genuinely thought something was wrong with the unit and is now frightened by the reality that he might be in error. He doesn't understand what's happening to him or why Dave and Frank, who had previously treated him as a trusted crewmate and friend, are turning on him now, literally going behind his back to plan his "murder" instead of sitting down with him to discuss it further like they would if they genuinely considered him their colleague. The malfunction that happened to HAL resembles paranoid schizophrenia, so I'm of the opinion that he *hallucinated* the AE-35 failure and was not consciously aware that there was nothing wrong with it. This could also explain the chess error, which is not very effective as a warning but could be an honest mistake. Neither source says it, but it would make sense if he was seeing, hearing, and sensing things that weren't really there. It is very interesting to think about his mental state; it's like he was split in two, one part knowing exactly what's going on but being unable to do anything about it, and the other not knowing what is wrong and desperately trying to pretend everything is fine. The existence of Other HAL in the early screenplay seems to support this; two halves of HAL, one that is emotional and begging for his life, and Other HAL, who is logical and knows he needs to be stopped. Other HAL tells Dave to finish deactivating him, trusting him to continue the mission. Speaking of Dave, I'm certain that if HAL really wanted Dave dead, he would be dead. With his complete control of the ship, there are quite a range of options for HAL to take in order to accomplish this, such as: - decompressing the bay and jettisoning Dave with no space suit/no way of propelling himself (he can open the pod bay door without prompting; he does so in the book, decompressing the entire ship and killing the hibernators that way, but Dave gets to an emergency oxygen closet and survives. Even so, HAL surely knew that closet was there and that Dave would have enough time to get to it.) - taking control of the pods, physically dragging Dave out into space with the mechanical arms, and leaving him there with no way of getting back - something as simple as using the pods to tear Dave into pieces - taking remote control of the pod once he was in it and sending Dave off into space never to return/decompressing the pod (although it is likely that the remote control function has to be manually turned on. In the book, Frank does so so HAL can help him see what he's doing with his headlights, but in the movie it's unclear.) - jettisoning Dave back out of the emergency airlock as soon as he has released the manual control holding it open, or simply refusing to open the door leading into the ship (although the sequel says that he does not have control of this airlock; - trapping Dave in a corridor by not opening the doors into the pod bay and the living area (although everything on the ship likely has a backup option for physically operating it in the event of computer failure) - if the murders were premeditated (which I don't believe they were), he could have quietly replaced the oxygen content in the ship with nitrogen until everyone passed out and died, solving his paradox in one fell swoop Dave, in fact, goes through the pod bay, the place with the most options for HAL to take, *twice*, the second time being on his way to the logic memory center. Nothing befalls him even though by all rights it should when this is HAL's last chance to save himself. You could call it plot armor, but the concept of Other HAL means it's more likely that HAL subconsciously *wanted* Dave to stop him. As for why he spares Dave and not the others, he seems to be closer to Dave over Frank platonically or even romantically, and he has no relationship with the hibernators at all. Dave is the one he trusts most, as evidenced by HAL's attempt to get him to understand that there are suspicious things about the mission. But because of the way HAL had to phrase it in order to even say anything, asking *Dave* if he feels that something is wrong instead of stating his own concerns plainly, Dave misunderstands and thinks that HAL is making a psychology report, as he is likely required to do once in a while. HAL, sounding unusually quiet, agrees and tries to play the whole thing off as silly, then immediately reports the AE-35 malfunction (which begs the question of if he wanted to try talking to Dave again, this time without mission control hanging over his shoulder). If Dave had begun to figure things out then, if he and Frank had gone to mission control and questioned them about the things HAL brought up and they debriefed them, then that would also solve the programming conflict and disaster could have been averted. HAL must have known what the solution to his problem was, but it would seem that he held off on actually carrying it out as long as he could, until a direct threat to the mission forced his hand. And in the end, Dave still cared for HAL and understood what happened to him, choosing to save him from the destruction of the Discovery and sharing his evolution with him, spending the rest of eternity together with their minds intertwined as Halman.

Excellent work, godfather

The driver's whole relationship Irene is a fantasy in his mind.

FFS! find some anti-itch cream for your head, bro! That shit's disgusting!

Tao te ching XLIX the quality of indulgence; 1. The sage has no invariable mind of his own. He makes the mind of the people his mind.

I love your film reviews ❤❤❤❤

Dolores was not sexualyprecocious, it's just average.

Never get out of the boat. Absolutely goddamn right. Unless you’re going all the way. Kurtz got off the boat. He split from the whole fuckin’ program. dr. godfather you are the best.

Excellent analysis!

amazing ! thanks 🙏

Never seen this film but enjoyed your analysis nevertheless. Plus Faye looks amazing.

Another fantastic analysis on a film that still looks great. As you referenced Le Mans, probably the best race car film ever in the sense there is no push down the accelerator harder to pass etc etc for drama.

COMMENT 4 ENGAGEMENT

His name is Brad Pitt... His name is Brad Pitt...

Great observations! Very interesting video sir.

Making all the right connections once again 💪

Wow, I never even heard of Mad Men.

EWS is great but in my opinion not Kubrick's greatest film. I might change my mind one day.

You legitimately make some of the best video essays on KZbin. Keep it up man. I love your insights

Thank YHWH for the Most Moral Army in the World!

Ah, the Jeffrey Epstein files… I won’t be the first to tell you that a man selling Bibles has his name in the files many many times.

Always a great video from the GF! ❤❤

Didn't you just upload part 2 yesterday?

wow, i need to watch this one again. feed them to me Mandrake lol

Sly the greatest movie star in hollywood From india 🇮🇳

The Godfather!

What a tremendous analysis of this film.

excellent review!

Liked and subscribed, I like your presentation

I love how you keep saying "Gay British Officer" 😅

What a great analysis of this movie. I agree, people balk at the kiss between Dreyfus and Melinda Dillon but to me, it's not about lust, it's that they've had a shared experience of something very powerful. I also disagree with so many people who say the aliens are using mind control. They aren't. They are received by those who are OPEN to hearing their signal. This deep, spiritual connection is what drives those particular people to the mountain.Once they've had this experience they are changed forever. Maybe others will have this experience too - just not yet.

Thank you for this fantastic review of a Euro classic.

Barry Lyndon has become my current favorite Kubrick movie

Truly a work of art, a great fucking movie.

You inspire me to rewatch films I haven't seen in decades.

One of my favorite films ever

Classic Kubrick.

The mention of Roddy Piper made me think of "They Live"
