19. Female: 2001: A Space Odyssey marked a turning point in science fiction film. I’ve seen it three times and I have got a lot out of it even though it originally came out in 1968. when it first came out, a lot of people did not like it, they couldn’t figure it out, they found it strange and confusing. At the Hollywood premiere of the film a lot of people walked out. However, it became very popular, particularly among young people. Tape script:

20. It’s not easy to explain what the film’s about. I suppose it’s to do with an alien civilization, but you never actually see any aliens. The films starts, about four million years ago. It is about a group of cavemen who find a big black block. It’s really a strange kind of machines that has been deliberately sent to Earth by an advanced alien civilization. Anyway, the next part of the film happens four million years later in the year 2001. Two more of these strange,black boxes have been found on the Moon and a scientist goes there to study them.

21. The third part of the film is about a trip to another planet. The spaceship Discovery is controlled by the intelligent computer HAL 9000,the only one on the ship who knows the real plan for the trip. At first HAL and two men, Dave and Frank, get on fine. Then trouble starts. Anyway, I’m not going to give away the ending. You’ll have to see it for yourself! I really recommend going to see the film because it makes you think. What I’m trying to say is that after watching Space Odyssey you start thinking about all sorts of things-who we are and what we are doing here. It also makes you think about the future- you know, how intelligent computers and machines might take over our lives.
