course for its skyline and for being germanys capital of high finance but frankfurt is also home to one of the largest Film Museums In Europe and theyre honoring with an amazing exhibit a cinematic masterpiece. Two thousand and one a Space Odyssey the mother of all Science Fiction films. In One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty Eight director Stanley Kubrick rewrote The Rules Of Cinema in a way that continues to amaze and inspire. This conversation can serve no purpose anymore today on keno were doing a deep dive into Two Thousand And One were devoting our entire show to Stanley Kubricks Classic Film Turns Fifty this year but Two Thousand And One is still way ahead of its time. When kubrick began putting his saif i master piece
together in the mid one Nine Hundred Sixty s. Americans and serviettes were vying to be the first to reach the moon to develop a visionary but believable Set Design Kubrick hired nasa experts who had worked with Rocket Pioneer Vana from back on the Frankfurt Show explores how meticulously every technical detail was planned. Kubrick was the first to use Product Placement this futuristic watch from a luxury brand hamilton went on sale as the film opened but only a few original props are preserved cooper destroyed most of them. This is a replica of the model of the famous centrifuge a Hamster Wheel weighing fairly tons and twelve meters in diameter feelingless so complicated that it took several days to shoot just a few seconds. Wont see much of the galaxy. The space scenes were created with elaborate animation by hand without computer technology. You know when you think its so models its wooden glue and straining and nothing shows its. Just a testament to how careful he was and god knows how many that. Sort of takes they took of a lot of shots because obviously the Special Effects Ticker a lot. More than a hundred people worked on the Special Effects alone kubrick spent four years making the film at londons n. G. s studios going way over his budget and schedule. With his team he created images like none before. I. So there was a very open kind of art School Atmosphere lets see. Lets try there was no
oh we cant do that its you know that was a red rag to standing say oh we cant do that its for why not why cant you lets try it so everybody was able to be is a Maginnis Heaven is crazy and like it was there were no wrong answers kubrick wrote the screenplay with Sufiah Legend arthur c. Clarke their goal was to create the definitive sayf i found proving the question of Extraterrestrial Life and Artificial Intelligence that spirals out of control in the form of the onboard computer hows. It been the puppet doors oh. Im sorry dave im afraid i cant do that. Thats the problem. I think you know what the problem is just as well as right what are you talking about. This mission is too important for me to allow you to check the times in. Its really a philosophical film its not really a Science Fiction i call it much more philosophical film and it is so fresh because it doesnt contain in its essence anything that can be outdated because we are as ignorant now as a row fifty years ago about the miracles of the universe not. Where we come from where are we going. Stanley kubricks Two Thousand And One a space Odyssey Office now wants us only stunning images the journey continues. Gay. And im joined now with ellen haring the director of the film astute and the film is in here frank thanks for joining us. I want to talk about Two Thousand And One. When the first time you saw the movie do you remember. Remember what it did with you do you remember. I remember very specifically and one of the great fortunes that ive had in my career is ive been a Film Programmer and i was able to hold off on seeing Two Thousand And One until i could see it on the big screen you know i can only imagine that everybody who would have a chance to see the movie this way would just be carried away by it its a very famous story of when the movie was first released people actually walked out of the premiere you know people who had traditional expectations of a hollywood movie and were looking for a linear narrative and it wasnt a Box Office Success at the beginning but then they redid the marketing and i actually know this the guy who created the tagline the ultimate trip and they positioned it in one thousand Nine Hundred Sixty eight as a movie that would expand your consciousness and you know kind of subvert your expectations of what a movie should be and it attracted
a young audience attracted you know people who were in the counterculture and it became a huge hit because of that i mean what what what do something personally that you find so find interesting fascinated with the film terms of its history but just as a film goer you know the amazing thing about this the photography the visual effects just watching the beauty of each of those sequences and the fact that hes really willing to hold the camera and extend a sequence and ask you to step into that vision and to just take that journey and then when you have the marriage in certain sequences of some of these classic pieces of music that also is incredible because now people when they hear that music it immediately makes them think of the film as it does with me. And you got all the way here dedicated to the film what the exhibit adds to understanding Two Thousand One what i really like about this exhibition in the way that it brings the audience in is it shows the whole Production Cycle it shows that Stanley Kubrick was an obsessive he did tremendous amounts of research for every movie he made and spent years talking to scientists doing Scientific Research thinking about outer Space Exploration and nobody had landed on the moon yet when this movie was made and theres this famous Conspiracy Theory that Neil Armstrong never landed on the moon but the footage was shot by Stanley Kubrick its one of the great myths of modern culture. So its amazing to go through the whole production history in this exhibition you get the view of the filmmaker and all of the Creative Team and then it all comes
together with the projections that you see of the Film Sequences on how to thank you so much for joining us and Two Thousand And One has had an immense impact not just on cinema really the film gave us a vision of the future.
