Okay it's been a few hours since I finished 2010 TYWMC and I have not stopped thinking about the scene where Dr. Chandra is talking to HAL about full-throttling back towards earth and the lead up to that as well,,,,In fact I think I'm thinking about how everyone else treats HAL vs how Dr. Chandra treats HAL, and it makes sense, to the others HAL is a potentially dangerous system, he's killed before and they're afraid he'll kill again, but Dr. Chandra, he's the only one that treats HAL with so much kindness and understanding, and it makes sense he programmed him after all! But the way that understanding and respect is the thing that saved them,,,,like they convince Dr. Chandra to lie to HAL despite Dr Chandra contesting to it and he couldn't keep it up, he's the only one that has the basic decency not to lie to HAL and they were so ready to shut him off (At least they still think they have the capability to do that) because of that, they were so convinced that telling him the truth would cause him to refuse, and HAL understands. he understands why they're doing what they're doing. And I don't think that would've happened if they lied to HAL. Gwahhhhh sorry this is really unfiltered rambling rn I just really really love how this movie handles HAL, because in the first movie it is not clear why HAL is why he is unless you've read the books and 2010 works so well with it, man, I can't wait to read the book for 2010 man

#The way Chandra offers to stay with HAL as well....like that's his baby!!! His creation!!#Of course he's emotional about leaving!!! God #Look I never. watched any of those clickbaity videos about why HAL did what he did or whatever #but so many of those videos seem to at least in the clickbait have the underlying presumption that-#HAL is evil and that he had sinister intent and just. man I can understand that a little bit.#If you've only done like really surface level analysis of JUST the 2001 ASO movie and none of the other media #But like. man. are there people out there that really think HAL is evil. like. god #TYWMC is SO blatant about HAL not being evil or sinister and that the reason he did what he did #was because he was given a task that he was not able to do!! HAL can't keep secrets it goes against it's programming!!#The movie doesn't as much go into the fact that HAL felt guilty and that he fucking panicked. none of his kills were premeditated!!!#But like. Man!!!! Are people really out here believing HAL is evil....wow #2010 tywmc #2001 a space odyssey #2001 aso #Android.txt
