HOW MANY TIMES ?How many times may one view the great Stanley Kubrick movie, 2001: A Space Odyssey before he tires of it? Apparently never, here in the Waukesha Sewer Raccoon District. Never will we get enough of that beautiful juxtaposition of the spacecraft gliding through space with the brilliant background melody of Strauss’s beautiful Blue Danube Waltz.
That scene at the beginning of the film, as the reader must know, follows the instant metamorphosis of the ape discovering the bone as a tool. He tosses it victoriously into the air and the cinematography converts that slow-motion bone flash-forward to a spaceship, dancing in synch with the turning space station, lining up a landing on the ferris wheel-like imagining, which turned out to be the way it actually is. The hugely expanded mind of scientific man.
