randomaniacfilm: moviesinframes: 2001: A space odyssey, 1968 (dir. Stanley Kubrick) By orshk “Thinking about space may help you to realize…a universe of unimaginable magnitude and inconceivable violence—billions upon bilions, literally, of roaring thermonuclear furnaces scattering from each other. Each thermonuclear furnace being a star—and our sun among them. Many of them actually blowing themselves to pieces littering the outermost reaches of space with dust and gas out of which new stars with circling planets are being born right now. And then from still more remote distances beyond all these there come murmurs—microwaves which are echoes of the greatest cataclysmic explosion of all, namely the Big Bang of creation which according to recent reckonings must have occurred some 18 Billion years ago. That’s where we are kiddo. And once you realize that you realized how really important you are. One little microbit in this great magnitude, and then out of that must come the experience that you and that are in some sense one and you partake of all of that…and it begins here.” —Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth “Space, the final frontier”—Capt.
