    Since its premiere in 1968, 2001: A Space Odyssey has been analyzed and interpreted by multitudes of people ranging from professional movie critics to amateur writers and science fiction fans & others. Who here has seen it?

    Considered a classic, some people claim that the film carries a profound esoteric message intended only for a select few. The director of the film, Stanley Kubrick, wanted to leave the film open to philosophical and allegorical interpretation. Kubrick stated:
    You're free to speculate as you wish about the philosophical and allegorical meaning of the film—and such speculation is one indication that it has succeeded in gripping the audience at a deep level—but I don't want to spell out a verbal road map for 2001 that every viewer will feel obligated to pursue or else fear he's missed the point.
