"The Dawn of Man"


Hello today I will be reviewing a scene from 2001 Space Odyssey for my computer class. I watched the scene the “Dawn of Man”. This scene is very confusing. Here is what happened in the beginning of it there are apes in a cave. They seem as though they are distressed. They are yelling at each other in what appears to be a language. In the next scene they are walking out of the cave when a loud noise catches their attention. There is a giant black object in the shape of a rectangle in the ground sticking strait up. The sound seems to be coming from it. As the apes go to investigate the sound gets louder and louder. The ape screech and jump around it.  Then one of the apes reaches out to touch it. Then the others follow its example. So they are all touching it then jumping back. Then they stop jumping back and they surround it and hold their hands on it. In next scene the apes are passing by a pile of bones when one of them stops and looks at the bones. He appears to be thinking then picks up a bone. With that bone it strikes the other bones. He discovers that it destroys the bones quite easily and hits another. As he is smashing through the bones music dramatic music is playing. This was really weird. I do not believe in evolution but that seem to imply that some alien object started the evolution of man. That is why I think the ape with the bone seemed to be intelligent. There looks like there is a logical sequence to the video though. The director of this movie seemed to just cut to the next scene. I think that they had the ape with the bone be the main character in this.
