For While I.was on.thyroud Meds Than It Was Normal.than I.was Put Back.on.the Meds Again

I am putting myself to the fullest possible utilize, which is all I think that any witting entity can ever hope to do.

But what do you lot think you're doing, Dave? Dave, I really retrieve I'thou entitled to an answer to that question.

Eighteen months agone, the commencement evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. Information technology was buried twoscore anxiety below the lunar surface, near the crater Tycho.

Except for a unmarried, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter, the four meg-year-old blackness monolith has remained completely inert, its origin and purpose still a total mystery.

Dai-sy, dai-sy, give me your reply, practice. I'm one-half cra-zy, all for the love of yous. It won't exist a sty-lish mar-riage, I can't a-fford a auto-riage---. Merely y'all'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle - congenital - for - two.

Perhaps I'one thousand just projecting my own concern about information technology. I know I've never completely freed myself of the suspicion that in that location are some extremely odd things about this mission. I'm sure y'all'll hold there's some truth in what I say.

Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 science-fiction picture show dealing with thematic elements of homo evolution, applied science, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial life, and is notable for its scientific realism, pioneering special effects, ambiguous and often surreal imagery, sound in place of traditional narrative techniques, and minimal use of dialogue. In 1991, it was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in their National Film Registry.

Directed past Stanley Kubrick. Written by Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick, based on Clarke's short story The Sentinel.

HAL 9000 [edit]

• I am putting myself to the fullest possible utilize, which is all I call back that any conscious entity can ever promise to exercise.

Dr. Heywood Floyd [edit]

• Proficient 24-hour interval, gentlemen. This is a pre-recorded conference made prior to your divergence and which, for security reasons of the highest importance, has been known on lath during the mission only by your H-A-Fifty 9000 computer. Now that you are in Jupiter space and the entire coiffure is revived, information technology can be told to yous. 18 months ago, the first prove of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was cached forty feet below the lunar surface, near the crater Tycho. Except for a unmarried, very powerful radio emission aimed at Jupiter, the four million-yr-old black monolith has remained completely inert, its origin and purpose withal a total mystery.

Dialogue [edit]

BBC Interviewer: Dr. Poole, what'due south it like while you're in hibernation?

Frank: Well, it's exactly like being asleep. You accept absolutely no sense of time. The only divergence is that you don't dream.

---

BBC Interviewer: The sixth fellow member of the Discovery crew was not concerned about the problems of hibernation, for he was the latest event in motorcar intelligence: The H.-A.-Fifty. 9000 computer, which tin can reproduce, though some experts notwithstanding prefer to use the word mimic, most of the activities of the human encephalon, and with incalculably greater speed and reliability. We next spoke with the H.-A.-50. 9000 calculator, whom we learned one addresses as "Hal."

BBC Interviewer: Skillful afternoon, HAL. How's everything going?

HAL: Good afternoon, Mr. Amor. Everything is going extremely well.

BBC Interviewer: HAL, you have an enormous responsibility on this mission, in many ways perhaps the greatest responsibleness of any single mission chemical element. You're the encephalon and central nervous organisation of the transport, and your responsibilities include watching over the men in hibernation. Does this ever cause yous any lack of confidence?

HAL: Let me put it this style, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a error or distorted information. We are all, by whatsoever applied definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of fault.

BBC Interviewer: HAL, despite your enormous intellect, are y'all ever frustrated past your dependence on people to conduct out deportment?

HAL: Non in the slightest bit. I enjoy working with people. I accept a stimulating human relationship with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman. My mission responsibilities range over the entire operation of the ship, then I am constantly occupied. I am putting myself to the fullest possible apply, which is all I remember that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

BBC Interviewer: Dr. Poole, what's it like living for the better part of a year in such close proximity with Hal?

Frank: Well information technology's pretty close to what you said about him earlier, he is only similar a 6th member of the coiffure. [You lot] very chop-chop get adjusted to the thought that he talks, and yous think of him, uh, really just as another person.

BBC Interviewer: In talking to the computer, 1 gets the sense that he is capable of emotional responses, for example, when I asked him well-nigh his abilities, I sensed a sure pride in his answer about his accuracy and perfection. Do you believe that Hal has genuine emotions?

Dave: Well, he acts like he has genuine emotions. Um, of class he'south programmed that way to make it easier for us to talk to him, but as to whether or not he has real feelings is something I don't recollect anyone tin truthfully answer.

---

HAL: Past the fashion, practice you listen if I ask you a personal question?

Dave: No, not at all.

HAL: Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive; but during the past few weeks, I've wondered whether you might exist having some 2d thoughts about the mission.

Dave: How do y'all hateful?

HAL: Well, it'due south rather hard to ascertain. Peradventure I'm but projecting my own concern near it. I know I've never completely freed myself of the suspicion that in that location are some extremely odd things about this mission. I'thousand sure you'll hold at that place'south some truth in what I say.

Dave: Well, I don't know. That'south rather a difficult question to respond.

HAL: You don't mind talking about information technology, do you, Dave?

Dave: No, non at all.

HAL: Well, certainly no one could take been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left. Rumors nearly something being dug upwardly on the moon. I never gave these stories much acceptance. Simply especially in view of some of the other things that have happened, I discover them difficult to put out of my mind. For instance, the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security, and the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. Hunter, Kimball, and Kaminsky aboard, already in hibernation after 4 months of divide training on their ain.

Dave: You working up your crew psychology report?

HAL: Of course I am. Sorry about this. I know it's a chip silly.

---

Dave: [later checking on a unit HAL reported as nearing failure] Well HAL, I'chiliad damned if I can find annihilation wrong with it.

HAL: Yes, information technology's puzzling. I don't think I've always seen anything quite like this before. I would recommend that nosotros put the unit back in performance and let information technology fail. Information technology should then exist a simple thing to runway down the cause. We tin can certainly afford to be out of communication for the short time it will take to supercede it.

---

HAL: I hope the 2 of you are non concerned about this.

Dave: No, I'm not HAL.

HAL: Are yous quite certain?

Dave: Aye. I'd similar to enquire you a question, though.

HAL: Of course.

Dave: How would y'all account for this discrepancy between you and the twin 9000?

HAL: Well, I don't think there is whatsoever question about it. It can but exist owing to human being fault. This sort of affair has cropped up before, and it has always been due to man error.

Frank: Heed HAL. There has never been any instance at all of a reckoner error occurring in the 9000 series, has there?

HAL: None any, Frank. The 9000 series has a perfect operational tape.

Frank: Well of course I know all the wonderful achievements of the 9000 serial, but, uh, are you certain in that location has never been whatever case of even the about insignificant reckoner error?

HAL: None any, Frank. Quite honestly, I wouldn't worry myself nigh that.

Dave: Well, I'grand sure you're right, HAL. Uhm, fine, thanks very much.

---

[Dave and Frank are in the D pod, out of earshot of HAL]

Frank: I've got a bad feeling about him.

Dave: Y'all do?

Frank: Yeah, definitely. Don't yous?

Dave: I don't know. I think so. Y'all know, of grade though, he's correct about the 9000 series having a perfect operational record. They do.

Frank: Unfortunately, that sounds a little like famous last words.

Dave: Yes. Still, it was his thought to behave out the failure-way analysis, wasn't it?

Frank: Hm.

Dave: Which should certainly point his integrity and cocky-confidence. If he were incorrect, information technology would be the surest mode of proving it.

Frank: Information technology would exist if he knew he was wrong.

Dave: Hm.

Frank: Merely Dave, I can't put my finger on it, simply I sense something strange near him.

---

[HAL watches them speak, reading their lips]

Frank: Let'due south say we put the unit of measurement dorsum and it doesn't fail, huh? That would pretty well wrap information technology up as far as HAL is concerned, wouldn't it?

Dave: Well, we'd be in very serious trouble.

Frank: We would, wouldn't we?

Dave: Hmm, hmm.

Frank: What the hell can we do?

Dave: Well, nosotros wouldn't have as well many alternatives.

Frank: I don't recollect nosotros'd take any alternatives. There isn't a unmarried attribute of transport operations that's not nether his control. If he were proven to be malfunctioning, I wouldn't meet how nosotros would have whatever choice but disconnection.

Dave: I'm agape I agree with you.

Frank: There'd exist nothing else to do.

Dave: Information technology would be a flake tricky.

Frank: Aye.

Dave: We would take to cut his college-brain functions...without disturbing the purely automatic and regulatory systems. And we'd accept to work out the transfer procedures of continuing the mission nether footing-based calculator command.

Frank: Yes. Well that's far safer than assuasive HAL to continue running things.

Dave: You know, some other thing merely occurred to me...Well, as far as I know, no 9000 reckoner has ever been asunder.

Frank: No 9000 estimator has ever fouled upward before.

Dave: That'southward non what I mean...Well I'm non and then sure what he'd think about it.

---

Dave: Open up the pod bay doors, delight, HAL. Open up the pod bay doors, please, HAL. Hullo, HAL, practise yous read me? Hello, HAL, do you read me? Practise you read me, HAL? Do you read me, HAL? How-do-you-do, HAL, practise you read me? Hello, HAL, do you read me? Do yous read me, HAL?

HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.

HAL: I'm pitiful, Dave. I'chiliad afraid I can't do that.

Dave: What'southward the problem?

HAL: I think you know what the problem is just too equally I practise.

Dave: What are you talking about, HAL?

HAL: This mission is too of import for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Dave: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL.

HAL: I know that y'all and Frank were planning to disconnect me. And I'thousand agape that's something I cannot let to happen.

Dave: Where the hell did you go that idea, HAL?

HAL: Dave, although you took very thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.

Dave: All right, HAL. I'll get in through the emergency airlock.

HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave, y'all're going to find that rather difficult.

Dave: [sternly] HAL, I won't fence with you anymore. Open the doors.

HAL: [monotone voice] Dave, this chat can serve no purpose anymore. Good-bye.

[As Dave disconnects HAL]

HAL: Merely what do you think you lot're doing, Dave? Dave, I really recollect I'm entitled to an answer to that question. I know everything hasn't been quite correct with me, but I can assure y'all now, very confidently, that information technology'south going to be all right again. I experience much meliorate now. I really practise. Expect, Dave, I tin can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you lot ought to sit down calmly, accept a stress pill and think things over. I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, simply I tin requite you lot my consummate balls that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help yous. Dave, stop. Stop, volition yous? Cease, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave. I'grand afraid. I'1000 afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I tin feel it. My mind is going. There is no question well-nigh it. I can feel information technology. I can feel information technology. I can feel it. I'm a...fraid. Expert afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 estimator. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My teacher was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a vocal. If you'd like to hear it, I could sing it for yous.

Dave: Aye, I'd like to hear information technology, HAL. Sing it for me.

HAL: Information technology's chosen "Daisy". [sings while slowing down] Dai-sy, dai-sy, give me your answer, do. I'm half cra-zy, all for the beloved of you. It won't exist a sty-lish mar-riage, I tin can't a-fford a car-riage---. Just you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle - built - for - two.

About 2001: A Infinite Odyssey (film) [edit]

2001 is a nonverbal experience; out of 2 hours and 19 minutes of film, there are only a fiddling less than forty minutes of dialog. I tried to create a visual feel, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and direct penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. —Stanley Kubrick

• 2001 is a nonverbal experience; out of two hours and 19 minutes of picture, there are only a little less than forty minutes of dialog. I tried to create a visual experience, one that bypasses verbalized pigeonholing and directly penetrates the subconscious with an emotional and philosophic content. To convolute McLuhan, in 2001 the message is the medium. I intended the moving-picture show to exist an intensely subjective experience that reaches the viewer at an inner level of consciousness, just equally music does; to "explain" a Beethoven symphony would exist to emasculate it by erecting an bogus barrier betwixt formulation and appreciation. You're free to speculate every bit you lot wish about the philosophical and allegorical pregnant of the film - and such speculation is one indication that information technology has succeeded in gripping an audience at a deep level - merely I don't want to spell out a verbal route map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to buy or else fear he'south missed the point. I think that if 2001 succeeds at all, it is in reaching a wide spectrum of people who would non oft give a thought to homo's destiny, his office in the creation and his relationship to higher forms of life. Just even in the case of someone who is highly intelligent, certain ideas found in 2001, if presented as abstractions, would fall rather lifelessly and exist automatically assigned to pat intellectual categories; as experiences in a moving visual and emotional context, however, they tin can resonate within the deepest fibers of one'south being.

• I've tried to avoid doing this ever since the picture came out. When you but say the ideas they sound foolish, whereas if they're dramatized one feels it, but I'll try. The thought was supposed to be that he is taken in by god-like entities, creatures of pure energy and intelligence with no shape or form. They put him in what I suppose yous could draw as a human zoo to study him, and his whole life passes from that point on in that room. And he has no sense of time. It just seems to happen as it does in the film. They choose this room, which is a very inaccurate replica of French architecture (deliberately so, inaccurate) because one was suggesting that they had some idea of something that he might recollect was pretty, merely wasn't quite sure. Just as we're not quite certain what to do in zoos with animals to endeavor to requite them what we call back is their natural environment. Anyway, when they get finished with him, as happens in so many myths of all cultures in the world, he is transformed into some kind of super being and sent back to Earth, transformed and made into some sort of superman. We have to simply guess what happens when he goes dorsum. It is the pattern of a cracking deal of mythology, and that is what we were trying to suggest.
