Today I picked up your worksheets for 2001: A Space Odyssey. These include Predictions, Conspiracy Theories, and Differences between the Film and the 1965 Script. Please complete your Movie Journal writing for each film soon after seeing the film. Most of you will find it easier to write this than to write a research report.
Today we began the screening of Colossus: The Forbin Project. We were able to watch over half of the film, up to the scene where Dr Forbin is having his pretend dinner-date with his pretend-lover, Cleo Markham. Next week we will watch the last 25 minutes.
Both 2001: A Space Odyssey and Colossus: The Forbin Project represent paleo-futures. Paleo-future is a word made from paleo, meaning old, and future. These are imagined futures, possible futures, which are now already past and which never happened. Paleofutures can be very interesting to examine for their assumptions about future developments.
If you need to do further reading about the film, please remember that there are 7 links to further information on this blog.
