This article by Robert Poole, which appears in the journal History Today, discusses in detail many aspects of our film 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick. Poole goes into detail about the very mixed reactions of many different movie critics and the impact the film had on the audience. He talks about how the movie reflects the space exploration of the time, not in the sense of technology but in the way that the space age was advancing quite rapidly at the time. He also goes into detail about important scenes and cuts in the movie, like the jump cut from Kubrick's opening scene "Dawn of Man" to the main portion of the film. He describes this cut as "the longest cut in all of cinema: millions of years of human evolution in a single frame." Overall, this journal article seems to work very well for our major project.
