about 2001: A Space Odyssey by seangho

In the darkness, some apes are gathering group by group. They look like being fearful hiding or protecting themselves under pits. The darkness passed by and new morning begins. It is the dawn of man according the author. I would like to interpret that it begins history. Therefore, proceeding scene can be a prehistoric age. An awaken ape finds one big black monument installed in front of them. It is disparate from the apes and the environment in which everything is dry, raw and inartificial. The apes are excited with this in a moment and try touching it. What is that? It is aimed at the sun. I think it stands for religion, the time of religion - the medieval age usually it is called Dark Ages. Essentially, this stone with very strict line and facet is very heterogeneity to the apes and the nature itself. We have to move. By accident, an ape encounter with bones. He grasps a bone fumbling with it. He finds that it can be a weapon with which he can attack other animals. He finally breaks down all bones include the skeleton. The author puts the impressive music in this scene and the ape is filled with confidence. This conviction makes him himself. The bone using the destruction is thrown up in the air and turned in to a spaceship. I think it symbolizes the time of enlightenment including present in which people are getting into confidence with sprouting of science and technology.
Let me go back to the theme.
New bone, new technology is used attacking the other animal. We cannot deny the fact that new technologies are usually used as a new weapon for example, iron, gunpowder, motor, aircraft, GPS, atomic bomb…Here, the human the author is saying about is in the assurance in the new tool which is transforming from a bone to a spaceship. I would like saying that tool is a tool. It cannot solve all the problems we have. In addition, it provokes another problem by itself.
