avsfan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 BigD I will concede that Dr. Strange love is Kubrick's most accessible and awesome film but how can you deny 2001 as his most operatic masterpiece? Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 BigD I will concede that Dr. Strange love is Kubrick's most accessible and awesome film but how can you deny 2001 as his most operatic masterpiece?Well, I wouldn't deny that 2001 is a masterpiece, and I wouldn't call strangelove operatic, but I would, personally, always prefer Strangelove because1) Irony is my favorite form of humor, and most works of narrative that I really really love are ironic and/or satirical. Other examples of this would be The big lebowski, The watchmen ( comic), Infinite Jest, Catch-22 ( the book), Twin Peaks, Charlie Kaufman's various movies, 8 1/2. 2) I'm a complete sucker for cold war stuff. My interest in history pretty much begins with ww1, and particularly in the post-ww2 era. 3) I can't believe the movie got made, when it did, how it did. It's so dark and funny and brutally cutting. It's shocking to me how good that movie is.So yeah, 2001 is more visually impressive. It is more... expansive of the artform of cinema.. but If I wanted to sit down, and watch one of them, I would 9 times out of 10 pick strangelove. the 10th time I'd likely be on serious drugs.

avsfan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 here are my brief thought s on 2001 vs Dr. Strangelove 1. Dr. Strange currently deserves to be ranked higher on imdb. Because it is a fun awesome movie with pertinent issues and is one of Peter Seller's Best Performances.2. 2001 is a better film in the long run because it really questions what it means to be alive. If you watch 2001 and do not realize that the humans are the bad guys then it is no wonder that it is just a big trippy film3. Dr. Strangelove issues are dying on the vine everyday. It only maintains it's entertainment and historical demarcation value as time creeps on. Plus the poltical observ ations of Dr. Strange love are foibles in 2001.4. Humanity has yet to catch up and comprehend what 2001 is about. It is about what it means to be alive, to care and love. What is it to be a a living loving sentient being. This is what Kubrick was about. He always question Humanity value and worth. But, in 2001 he raises issue beyond humanity itself and creates a self sacrificing hero who has all the traits that Kubrick never found in humanity. That hero is Hal2000and yesss I am drinking makers, so take this as the the ramblings of a moron. Link to post Share on other sites

The specifics change, but the themes are eternal ones (unfortunately), as long as we have wars, power and governments. Link to post Share on other sites
BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Maybe we're closer to post-humanity that I suspect, but I think we're going to be burdened with the issues of strangelove for a great deal longer to come. Link to post Share on other sites

Remember the scene with the Russiansesque scientist in the Space station the fact that everything is a secret from every one but Hal...these are key issues in 2001 that ppl overlook in 2001.

avsfan 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Kubrick was very disappointed in humanity. He was a isolated soul who despised our stupidity, selfishness and our ego fueled B.s....like Spademan. Link to post Share on other sites
