Did Stanley Kubrick have an "interest in SF"? I think as a director you should have an interest in making a good movie that is somehow coherent for the audience that watches it. Which is also the reason why computers are almost always absurd in movies. They're mysteries that need to be represented differently than just their correct technological side.
- kabdib 10y agoKubrick worked pretty closely with Arthur C Clarke. IIRC Clarke wasn't happy with the result. The film would probably not have been as good without his help, however.
- the_af 10y agoIs there a source for this? I always thought Clarke was so satisfied with the movie that he actually wrote his book sequels to better match the movie rather than the first book! (Personally, I think Kubrick's movie is a masterpiece and far superior to Clarke's first book, which is an ok but entirely forgettable and minor work of SF).
- kabdib 10y agoI recalled incorrectly; Clarke was apparently pretty happy with it. I must have been thinking of some other SF film. . .
