“2001: A Space Odyssey” is a film that gives a lot to think about; but more important is a film that shows the basis of morality in humankind, were is civilization going with technology and what does the future has for us, in other words, the ambiguity of what is to come.
Without doubt, the ending of the movie is confusing. I am sure Kubrick left it opened so that; from that day on, people would talk and be intrigued about it. And for sure, so that people ask themselves, very intelligent in deed; after all, where is the fun in knowing exactly what happened because someone showed it. With that being said, I now intend to stick only to three of the versions of what I think happened in the film’s ending; even tough, a have several more.
First Version: Mental Shape and Power.
One explanation of what it could have been is that it was a mental experiment. It is a fact that humans only use around five to ten percent of the brain’s capacity; perhaps this was what happened, the line between reality and imagination vanished making everything possible and real or at least gave the feeling that this is what happens when one uses more of the brain’s power.
Second Version: Death Flash
It is said that peoples sees their whole lives just before they die. Probably he died when he jumped out of his little space-vehicle to the spaceship. Just before he went to see his maker, he saw what he was planning to do if he made it into the ship; then he saw the light or lights at the end of the tunnel. Then he saw how would it had been his elder life and finally saw the moment of his fetus status. Or that elder guy was his version of God, and after he met God, he reincarnated and started the cycle again.
Third Version: Eureka! Jupiter looks suspicious…
Because the monolith floating on Jupiter’s orbit I would say that it was some kind of satellite looking for something, probably we are originally from Jupiter. Since the sun is a star, and every star has a life cycle in which they become cooler and cooler with time; Jupiter was no longer a place to live in. The sun is a yellow star, this means that the heat it produces can generate or support life at a certain distance, it meant that we had to move closer in time and space to the sun; and for doing so we had to open a time-space portal perhaps that was the function of the black satellite monolith. Or we are an experiment of some intelligent life form from Jupiter that putted us here to see how much we could evolve giving us a hand with the monolith that possibly was a machine that had the capacity to modify the brain’s waves for good evolution, making us more intelligent and aware of our environment.
If some of these versions are possible; I certainly consider that any of them could have been what happened. But something I am sure about is that “2001: A Space Odyssey” ending means that is a lot more amusing and exiting to think about things than being told them. And that when I direct a movie in the uncertain future, I will make sure to set an open ending, so that humanity talks about it for many years to come.
