2001: The Making of a Myth (TV Movie 2001) ⭐ 6.9 | Documentary, Sci-Fi

The actual documentary was made in 2001. James Cameron is the narrator. We get on and off cameos of Arthur C. Clarke.

Most of the presenters (about 14) think that it was his/her ideas and actions that made the movie for Stanley Kubrick.

Distracting from the presentation is Camille Anna Paglia, an American feminist who hates men and even male monkeys. She has nothing but "potty mouth" to say about the film. Where did she come from and why waste film space? Se even misinterprets "An der schönen blauen Donau", Op. 314, from Johann Strauss II. Then she even poo-poos Dave as a "man", when he has to dismantle HAL; "men's methodical brain." I do not think she should watch movies.

It was nice to see Keir Dullea presenting as he was the main actor "Dave" in "2001".

You can tell that the production is old 2001 as they think we do not have a HAL and were not aware the now there is IBM "Watson".

I know that there is a limited time but for every fact of trivia displayed there were several not displayed. It was more of people showing themselves in more of a Stanly funeral tribute. An example not once mentioned is why the selection of "Thus Spoke Zarathustra".
