Speaking of emotions, if I had to summarize this film’s storyline in emojis, here’s what it would look like: If one of my recommendations inspires someone else to check it out and they get an equal amount of joy and satisfaction from it, I’d consider my blog posts and accompanying audio blog episodes to be a success. So this post or review will be coming from a mostly emotional perspective.

When I enjoy a work of art, I enjoy it immensely in a way that is often not very rational. I’d like to preface this by saying that my book and other reviews on this blog are not always academic or analytical. There are scenes or themes in both films that elicited a very visceral and emotional response from me as a viewer. That was the reaction I had at the end of A Clockwork Orange and 2001: Space Odyssey. The classic red space suit in 2001: A Space Odyssey “What the heck did I just watch?!!”

It was the 4th or 5th Stanley Kubrick film I sat down to watch.įYI, the other Kubrick films I’ve seen in order are: Lolita, Eyes Wide Shut, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I’d been warned by a couple of people that it was an extremely slow-paced film, so that’s the mindset I had going into it.

I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey some time last year when it was on Netflix. WARNING: There will be some spoilers, so please keep that in mind if you know nothing about this film. Holy smokes, just thinking about completing this blog post gets me all sorts of excited!
