2001 : A Triple Allegory
By Leonard F. Wheat
This
one is sitting on my bookshelf, waiting for a free moment
when I can sit down and read it. An analysis of 2001 that
argues that the story contains three allegories, depicting
Homer's Odyssey, Arthur Clarke's theory of future man-machine
symbiosis, and Nietzsche's Zarathustra.

Music

Alex
North's 2001
Stanley
Kubrick originally approached composer Alex North to write
the score for 2001. During the editing process, he decided
instead to use existing classical music for the film. Some
prefer this rejected score, recorded for the first time by
Jerry Goldsmith and the National Philharmoic Orchestra.
