Themes & motifs
the taxonomy ↗- Machines That Outgrow UsThemeHAL is the only character who speaks in a considerate register, and the horror of what he does is how procedural it is — the machine does not rebel, it reasons.
- The Wordless StretchMotifKubrick cut the explanatory narration before release and left the opening and closing stretches without a word spoken — a bone, a waltz, an eye, and the audience doing the reading.
