Odyssey Black

What was the movie 2001: A space Odyssey about?

I just watched 2001 for the 1st time. I'm a little confused.. What was that black rectangle thing and it's really the end that had me scratching my head. Can anyone help?

Yes. The movie was about the evolution of humankind: from ape-like man to normal human to the star child at the end.

The black rectangular thing was The Monolith which taught a certain group of apes how to dominate the other groups thus winning the battle for superiority. It was likewise teaching Dave about his coming metamorphosis. It was showing different human experiences to Dave, namely that wonderful room from the 18th century etc. Dave will soon be able to flit from one world to another and the next step in human evolution will have begun.

The real problem is HAL. Ironically the computer proves to be more human than the astronauts and so even though HAL is a murderer gains our sympathy when Dave slowly starts to dismantle HAL's brain. "I'm afraid, Dave." & singing the song "Daisy, Bell." Why did HAL apparently go crazy and kill the other astronauts? That still puzzles me and I would be happy if anybody could answer that question. I think I have an answer but I would like it if someone else who has seen the film could answer it. In fact I will ask it and give the best answer 10 points.
