A nice interpretation of what Kubrick might have been on about with this movie.
I’m glad its on SBS, no commercials.

2001: A Space Odyssey

10pm – 12.30am ; SBS

Sci-Fi (1968) (UK/English)
Director: Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece tracing an expedition to the moon, Jupiter and beyond, and imagining the future evolution of humanity. A group of ape-like creatures – primitive humans – discover the use of bones as weapons in a quarrel over a waterhole. Jump forward thousands of years and an American expedition finds a mysterious black monolith – an obvious alien artefact – on the Moon. Another expedition is sent to Jupiter where a second monolith has been discovered. During the journey the ship’s computer, HAL 9000, develops paranoia and kills all the crew members but the captain, Dave Bowman.
