I had this interesting thought the other day while eating lunch (Big Mac Combo meal, 20 piece Chicken McNuggets if anybody cares).
Why isn't 2001: A Space Odyssey a silent film? I'll be honest, and say that most of my problems with the movie are similar to Jeff Kleist's. The movie simply lacked those "traditional" hallmarks of drama, and I felt simply bored to tears.
Back to what I was originally saying, I was thinking about what Seth and Jack said about the "visuals" of 2001 being the main storyteller. Then I thought, "hey, you know what, 2001: A Space Odyssey would work much better as a silent film." In addition, why hasn't this movie been shown on an IMAX screen yet? What are your thoughts?
