I never really appreciated 2001: A Space Odyssey
Okay this is my favorite movie. Got to see it in theaters rereleased. It took me almost 10 watches, and being stoned enough, to finally see what it’s really about. The spaceship is a penis, the black hole is a vagina, and humans are the sperm. That’s it.
It’s quite boring. I’ve watched it once or twice and get how iconic and culturally significant it is though.
Great films, very thoughtful. But created at a time when movies were slower paced in general. Watching one of those movies today, can be very trying on people’s patience.
I think if you’re going to start watching classic films, you need to slowly get into the theme of it. Watch a couple older films without any expectations. Get used to the pacing. Then start going into the classics.
When watching these older films, turn off your phone, shut down all distractions, just focus on the film. There’s too many demands on your attention right now, to really steep into the classics
