2001 A Space Odssey


2001 A Space Odyssey
~ Dawn of Man~
                Hey, yesterday in Mr. Ellis class we watched a video on the movie 2001 A Space Odysseys and we have to write a blog about the video.  
                In this video the characters are gorillas or monkeys. At first the gorillas are in a cave, they are making noise and then they go to sleep. A gorilla wakes up and he hears this noise and then all the other gorillas wake up and they all go running outside making weird noises and they find this wall that makes noise and are worshipping it but they were also trying to maybe get rid of it. When they find it they make weird noises, stomp their foot and kind of run into each other, but when they finally realize it isn’t going to get rid of it they get closer and closer to it and they start touching it. The next thing you know one of the gorillas leaves and he goes and he picks up this stick and starts making weird noises and breaking bones.
                 At the end of the video when the gorilla is breaking the bones and throwing them up in the air and catching them again, and then a tapir falls I think he realizes he is turning into a human being or “evolving into a human being”.  Every time the video went to a new scene you always saw the sunrise I don’t know why it might be that the monkeys died, evolved, or were just acting like crazy monkeys that make weird noises.  I think maybe when the monkeys saw the wall it could have been a sign that they were going to “evolve into humans”. If you would like to see this video and see if you might understand it go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML1OZCHixR0&feature=plcp.
