Pink Floyd's "Echoes" synched to the final part of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

For some reason, I've always found this part of the movie very very sad. From the very beginning of the lonely ship ejecting the one pod, to the old man dying in front of the monolith.

For some OTHER reason, the eating scene in Part 3 creeps me out, and is the major reason I never show a character eating in my comics. You'll see them at tables, and holding utensils, but never actually eating.

That ending still creeps me out and saddens me....

I'm one of those who takes the attitude that if you really want to understand what the hell is going on with that part of the movie, you need to read Arthur C. Clarke's book...

Oh, I have the book, and I know what the ending is (stargate, travel through a hub, room in the heart of a sun, aging to get Bowman out of his body and so on). But it doesn't make it any less sad/creepy for me.

Funnily enough, the actual script for 2001, has one page for the entire ending left so vague that I'm surprised the effects makers knew what to make.
