  I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey and the movie-watching experience was ethereal, this is the type of film whose praise no words can match but I'll try my level best to explain the beauty of this film. So let's begin 1. Direction: This was my first time watching Stanley Kubrick's work(His other iconic films were R-Rated and the televised version severely undercut Kubrick's genius) and I wasn't disappointed. The director follows the "Direction Rule 101" of "Show Not Tell". The film tells the crux of the story in the first 30 minutes with NO DIALOGUE. And it's truly shocking how accurate this movie is in depicting what space-travel would look like(And just a little information, that this film was released in 1968 and man actually landed on Moon in 1969, yet this films follows every space there is). The movie is about 2 Hours 30 Minutes long but there's only about 40 minutes of dialogue, yet the film never ceased to amaze me on how beautiful...
