This movie is excessive. I understand it’s mostly about spectacle because it’s a 1968 movie and we weren’t on the moon yet so it’s a big sci fi drama but a lot of these shots are way too long, the audio is unnecessary, and I want to cut this thing down into something watchable
2001 space odyssey sure does open with a long scene about apes
if you like my TSP fics but you're confused abt the timeline because the fics are not written and posted in chronological order, here's a list of all the scenes in order of how they happened for Stanley and the Narrator. Since some of these are flashbacks in other works, they're listed separately, but there isn't a link for them.
I wouldn't read them in this order tbh, but I WOULD use it for context on how characters think and feel in those scenes, like how the Narrator learns to avoid outright saying Stanley isn't human and so on.
