2001: A Space Odyssey
《2001：太空漫游》（1968）

Stanley Kubrick's sci-fi classic had apes, astronauts (some hibernating), a mysterious monolith — and HAL, a talking computer. Despite the presence of a verbally active machine, there isn't much dialogue in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The emphasis is on the visuals, whose grandiosity is matched only by the film's symphonic soundtrack. As TIME noted when the movie came out — in suitably trippy and pre-moon-landing 1968 — "Kubrick turns the screen into a planetarium gone mad and provides the viewer with the closest equivalent to psychedelic experience this side of hallucinogens." The film, based on a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, won an Oscar for visual effects.

这部斯坦利·库布里奇的科幻电影中有猿猴、宇航员（其中有些人在冬眠）、一个神奇的石柱 —— 还有一部会说话的电脑HAL。尽管影片中有一台声控的机器，但纵观《2010：太空漫游》全篇几乎没有多少对话。影片的画面宏伟，同时配之以同样恢弘的交响乐。影片上映的1968年迷幻药盛行，且人类尚未登月。当时的《时代周刊》这样描述这部电影：“斯坦利·库布里奇将大银幕变成了一个疯狂的天文馆，并向观众体验了一把电影迷幻药的威力。”这部根据C·克拉克的短篇故事改变的电影最终荣膺了奥斯卡最佳视觉效果奖。
