A joint American-British film from 1968. Clarke wrote the novel and Kubrick produced the film based on a story that writers Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick came up with ideas for. Clarke wrote the novel and Kubrick produced the film. It was a huge project that involved not only the development of technology such as slit scanning, which creates the image of light flying off both sides from far away, but also the detailed research and reproduction, with the participation of many scientists and special effects specialists from NASA and IBM. A mysterious object called a monolith that appeared in the age of apes and promoted the evolution of humans into humans who use tools and weapons is excavated on the moon in the era when humans advance into space, and a top-secret exploration of the signal it transmits is carried out. The captain of a spaceship during the exploration eventually encounters the monolith, and after an astonishing experience, he evolves into a star child that transcends humanity. It completely overturned the foundations of science fiction films up to that point, and through the 70mm Cinerama screen, it allowed viewers to experience it as if they were in space, determining people's image of space. In addition to Johann Strauss II's "The Blue Danube," works by Richard Strauss and György Ligeti were used as film music, opening up new horizons in science fiction films.

アメリカ・イギリス合作映画。1968年作品。作家アーサー・C・クラークとスタンリー・キューブリックがアイデアを出しあってまとめた物語に基づき、クラークは小説を書き、キューブリックが映画を製作した。はるかかなたからの光が両脇を飛び去っていくイメージを生み出すスリット・スキャンなどの技術開発だけでなく、ディテールの考証や再現に、NASAやIBMをはじめ、多くの科学者、特撮のスペシャリストらが参加した巨大なプロジェクトとなった。人類が類人猿の時代に出現し、彼らが道具・武器を使う人類への進化を促した謎(なぞ)の物体モノリスが、人類が宇宙に進出する時代になって月で発掘され、それが発信する信号の極秘探査が行われる。探査中の宇宙船の船長はやがてモノリスと遭遇、驚愕(きょうがく)の体験を経て人類を超越したスターチャイルドへと進化を遂げる。それまでのSF映画を根底から覆し、70ミリシネラマスクリーンを通して、あたかも宇宙にいるかのように体感させ、人々の宇宙へのイメージを決定づけた。ヨハン・シュトラウス2世の「美しく青きドナウ」の他、リヒャルト・シュトラウス、ジェルジュ・リゲティの作品などが映画音楽として使われ、SF映画に新境地を開いた。 [出口丈人] [参照項目] | | | | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
