David Bowman, Dr. Frank Poole, Dr. Heywood R. Floyd, and HAL 9000. Dr. Bowman and Poole are both scientist and astronauts onboard the Discovery One which is set for Jupiter so that they can research an unknown radio signal they received from there. Dr. Heywood is the chairman of the NCA (National Council of Astronautics). He was there when they first encountered the monolith on the moon and he is the leader of the Discovery One mission. HAL 9000 was the AI in charge of flying the Discovery One, it was
Discovery One, along with Hal 9000, a robot who maintains the ship and pilots the ship. The rest of the crew are in artificially induced hibernations. On the way to Saturn, Poole and Dave are told by Hal that the AE-35 unit which communicates with earth has malfunctioned. Poole goes out to fix the unit but a space pod comes ramming into him, killing him instantly. Dave, shocked that Poole had just died orders Hal to release the other astronauts out of their hibernation for backup. Hal refuses to do so but
HAL and the monoliths are indeed the film’s most interesting and enigmatic figures; in fact, numerous critics such as Robert Kolker, Michael Mateas, and Christopher Rowe have pointed out the fact that HAL has “more feelings than any of the human characters inhabiting the film” (Kolker, Introduction 9; Mateas 106; Rowe 44). Thus, these cyborgs are compelling

spectacularly, other times in deep and humbling decisions. Transcending space time, self-awareness of a machine, and willing self-isolation are all transformations observed in this text.

The first fundamental transformation in 2001 is when David Bowman passes through the Star Gate on Japetus. When he exclaims "The thing's hollow - it goes on forever - and - oh my
Despite a good first impression, looks can be deceiving. In “2001: A Space Odyssey” by the author Arthur C. Clarke, a mysterious Ai named Hal presents himself as a very intelligent computer who is extremely willing to help the crew with everything they request. Although appearing to be extraordinarily essential to the crews mission original mission, Hal has his own plans for the crew and ship. Instead of revealing the true mission to the crew he decides to keep it a secret. Part of his plan requires
DC Comics Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) is the wielder of the universe's most powerful weapon. The catch is–the one who wields the ring must have conquered his fears, and Hal fears most everything. Hal Jordan, born in Coast City, was a child to Martin Jordan and Jessica Jordan, and the middle child of three with older brother Jack and a younger brother Jim. As a young child, he idolized his father, a test pilot who worked for Ferris Aircraft. While his father was working, Hal witnessed his father die

A couple of tales that represent many routes of Honor are the tale of Tancredi and Ghismonda along with the tale of Ricciardo and Caterina.

Another person’s notes on Shallow Hal After seeing ads for "Shallow Hal," several friends complained to me about what they saw as an offensive concept: If Hal (Jack Black) has been brainwashed to see only a woman's inner beauty, then why does that inner beauty have to look just like Gwyneth Paltrow? Paltrow plays Rosemary, an obese woman in everyone's eyes but the spellbound Hal's; he sees the slender blond Paltrow that we're so used to seeing in movies and on magazine covers. The answer to my

HAL 9000 is a cultural representation of a monster, a prison guard of the spacecraft’s panopticon, and finally an influence on society. 2001: A Space Odyssey takes the fear of a nation, projects that fear, and initially created a trend in cinematics for years
the ship’s computer, HAL 9000 (voiced by Douglas Rain). HAL proceeds to be riddled with errors and malfunctions, which causes the A.I. Machine to malfunction and begin killing members of the crew. Including all three men in hibernation. It is only after Dave shuts down HAL is he safe from him. We watch a POV shot from HAL’s perspective three times in the film and I will discuss each of them. This first shot occurs one hour into the film (1:05:53). This scene is when HAL is talking to Dave about
natural order of the world. Specifically, the creations of man end up being too great for man to handle, and in some way they both grow out of control. There is no doubt that this similarity is not a coincidence, and Frankenstein likely influenced the HAL plot within 2001: A Space Odyssey. However, this is typically a common question that arises with rapid technological growth as civilizations contemplate the boundaries of human scientific creation. Similarly, many people nowadays are considering whether
