I don't think you understood what I meant. Most movies wrap up all the plotlines at the end. 2001 just leaves the viewer wondering what happens next. You see the star child, then the movie just ends. There's also no explanation about the people that built the monoliths and transformed Bowman.
That's the point of the movie. It's not suppose to answer questions.
You simple want it to be a totally different movie than it is. You want it to be a nice convenient package that doesn't make you question anything or think.
Other people actually enjoy thinking about things. They don't want answers and they don't care about plotlines.
I think you have me confused with someone else.
that's you.
God, why are you arguing this?
This is also what I said before:
Learn to fucking read and comprehend. I'm out of this conversation and blocking you.
It's not an argument. It's literally the point of the movie dude.
