2001 A Space Odyssey ( 49mins)

Before we watch the movie, I learned that " MCMLXVIII" means 1968, which I found really interesting, like a special code. There is no dialogue in the first 20 minutes, and it is similar to the movie "the Tree of Life", which I watched a few days ago. The gorillas show the " the Dawn of Man", which means the beginning of humanity. It teaches us the vulnerability of some kind of animals. There are also motifs in it. For example, animal dies, man starts to use tool. There is also perspectives in the beginning of the movie. I think the scene that there is judo on the television and the woman bows to the passenger shows a better manner of mankind, and we can feel it easily since it is totally different from what gorillas do. The rocket also reminds us of the scenes of  bones and pens at the beginning, which is also a motif of the movie.

I liked the music in the movie although it's a bit scary; I think it's another motif and leads us think the reason why they play this music in the movie and how it is related to the theme of the movie.
