Anyone who has seen this movie will remember moments of music rising in an eerie crescendo; abstract pho tography in fantastically luminous colors; and suspense so powerful as to be almost unbearable. Such im pressions seem to have been planned to serve a dual purpose; they rein force the film’s suggestion that here may lie the future’s reality, yet at the same time personify the gap be tween the year 2001 and the reality of 1968. As a result, the viewer may at times be entirely immersed in the proceedings, and Just a few moments later completely detached. A salient example of this effect is the pain fully slow pace at which the movie sometimes progresses. Such a pace is natural to the vacuum of outer space, but foreign to us. “2001” has depth; it probes mys teries as early as the dawn of civili zation and as universal as death. There is no attempt made to sug gest an absolute solution to such mysteries; rather Arthur Clarke, the author, and Stanley Kubuck, the producer, seem to have tried to stimulate the viewer to formulate his own theories. Despite the movie’s depth, there is relief. There is photography which is beautiful. There is fascination in the Intriguing question “How much of this will come true?” My favorite part of the whole movie dealt with HAL, a very human computer. He was a hero who turned villain. The situations he creates are funny, yet pathetic. I enjoyed “2001” but I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a casual evening’s entertainment — this movie is a mind-expanding ex perience. Ivor Richard, former Labor Member of Parliament, chats with Maud Wyche (left) and Kay Kennemun (foreground) about Tlie British electoral system. Earlier in the morn ing Mr. Richard addressed chapel, comparing the British electoral system with the present American model. After lunch Mr. Richard talked with interested students in an informal gathering in the Blue Parlor. The VARSITY THEATRE Presents... ITS OCTOBER ATTRACTIONS . . .
