2001: A Space Odyssey
《2001：太空漫游》（1968）

Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic had apes, astronauts (some hibernating), a mysterious monolith — and HAL, a talking computer. Despite the presence of a verbally active machine, there isn't much dialogue in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The emphasis is on the visuals, whose grandiosity is matched only by the film's symphonic soundtrack. As TIME noted when the movie came out — in suitably trippy and pre-moon-landing 1968 — "Kubrick turns the screen into a planetarium gone mad and provides the viewer with the closest equivalent to psychedelic experience this side of hallucinogens." The film, based on a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, won an Oscar for visual effects.

這部斯坦利·庫布里奇的科幻電影中有猿猴、宇航員（其中有些人在冬眠）、一個神奇的石柱 —— 還有一部會說話的電腦HAL。盡管影片中有一臺聲控的機器，但縱觀《2010：太空漫游》全篇幾乎沒有多少對話。影片的畫面宏偉，同時配之以同樣恢弘的交響樂。影片上映的1968年迷幻藥盛行，且人類尚未登月。當時的《時代周刊》這樣描述這部電影：“斯坦利·庫布里奇將大銀幕變成了一個瘋狂的天文館，并向觀眾體驗了一把電影迷幻藥的威力。”這部根據C·克拉克的短篇故事改變的電影最終榮膺了奧斯卡最佳視覺效果獎。
