There are multiple interpretations of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and your book makes it clear that Kubrick wanted to leave the film open to analysis.
To consider almost everything potentially actionable intel, if you will. So I suppose what they could learn is to not stop learning, and not only that, but to find ways to incorporate that learning in practice. They were really admirable characters in that way. It was all deeply informed by innumerable sources of information from all quarters, concerning such questions as humanity's place in space and time to high technology to philosophy and futurism and design and so forth.īoth of them were endlessly curious characters, with the ability to synthesize complex ideas in non-dogmatic ways.

What do you think current filmmakers and science fiction writers could learn from Kubrick and Clarke? Given the scale of what we see on the screen with "2001" I'm not sure I'd make that claim here, but I do feel that I discovered a lot of interesting things. You know I used to make films myself, and I remember realizing as early as film school in the early 1990s that frequently the story of what's going down behind the camera is as interesting or more interesting as what's going on in front of it.

That's not to say they didn't have tense periods and misunderstandings, including when Arthur started writing sequels. They were in regular contact in the decades after "2001" was released.

And Christiane left me no doubt that Stanley also greatly valued Arthur, as the episode with his physically taping what he said with a handheld microphone directly off a BBC TV broadcast illustrates pretty well. I think Arthur really loved Stanley, and deeply respected both his artistic integrity and sheer brilliance. Clarke, pictured at his home in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
