why is this movie considered "occult"? I thought it was just about space

Better question: Why does OP think others consider 2001 "occult"?
Mainly because of the director so there u have it

No, you're thinking of Event Horizon, 2001 was more about the fantasy of witnessing phenomenon we have no understanding of
>>17753426
Because of Jay Wiender and his thoughts on Stanley Kubric.

If you haven't watched it, you obviously don't know what happens at the end. Watch the movie and find out for yourself. Just put up with the low tech effects and really funny predictions of what the future will be like. I'll give you one example. They drink food out of bags through a straw. Quite funny. Pretty out there at the end

How is Event Horizon occult? It seemed to be cheesy horror.

I enjoyed event horizon, but I don't think it was occult.
>>17753426
Cult? Yes! But I have never heard it described as occult. Serious Alien, Conspiracy & AI plot lines, but nothing occult.
Yes. Gentlemen, I think what we are witnessing here is an example of low intelligence based fuck-uppery.
OP thinks cult and occult are interchangeable.

It's possible, but as I mentioned Jay wiedner mentions it in one of his documentaries about Kubric. Some sort of allegorical thing. Occult being defined as "hidden" and not necessarily magic, OP may be redeemed.

Precision mind of anon is most amazing.

Who could have predicted humanity would evolve beyond the need for a straw?
>>17753426
Do you mean it is a "cult" movie with a "cult" following like The Warriors, The Room, or The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

OP you got a long journey to catch up.
>>17753426
You mean it has a cult following, you retard.
Prediction: we never hear from OP again because he sudokus out of embarrassment, but some troll or trolls continue bumping the thread

It's because they're in zero gravity. They eat regular food on the spinning ship and even have ipods.
