2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM 2001: A Space Odyssey is a groundbreaking science fiction film directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on a story by Arthur C. Clarke. The film explores humanity's evolution, from the dawn of man to the exploration of space. It follows the crew of the spaceship Discovery One as they journey to Jupiter, investigating the mysterious monolith discovered on the Moon. The film delves into themes of artificial intelligence, extraterrestrial life, and the nature of existence, with a focus on humanity's quest for knowledge and transcendence. Its iconic visuals, minimal dialogue, and classical music make it a timeless cinematic masterpiece. TRIVIA SAMPLES: At the premiere screening, 241 people walked out, including Rock Hudson, who exclaimed, Will someone tell me what the hell this is about? Arthur C. Clarke later explained that the film was meant to raise more questions than it answered. Katharina Kubrick revealed that Stanley Kubrick himself provided the breathing sound effects for the spacesuits. Stanley Kubrick calculated that it would take 13 years for one person to hand-paint all the mattes needed for space scenes, so he hired 12 people to complete the task in one year. Stanley Kubrick sought insurance to protect against the discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence before the movie's release, but Lloyds of London refused the policy
