2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY (cont):

• It is presumed that HAL had been given conflicting orders: first, to keep the purpose of the mission secret; and second, to never tell a lie. This caused a psychotic break in the computer’s circuits.

• Dave continues to Jupiter and finds a monolith orbiting the planet. He gets inside a pod to get a closer look, and is swept into a vortex-style StarGate where he sees himself at various ages and growing older. As another monolith appears before him, he dies and is evidently reincarnated as a fetus, presumably to start a new race of superior star children.

• The film garnered a cult following and became the highest-grossing North American film of 1968.

• The script was inspired by Arthur C. Clark’s short story “The Sentinel” and Clark worked closely with director Stanley Kubrick during the production of the film.

• The year 2001 was chosen for the title because it is the first year of both the 21st century and the 3rd millennium.

• Kubrick wanted to get away from the “monstersand-sex” space films that were popular during that time. He was inspired by a film he saw at the 1964 World’s Fair called “To the Moon and Beyond” depicting space travel. He hired the company, who had made the film for NASA, to be his design consultant.

• Composer Alex North scored the entire film, only to have the whole thing scrapped when Kubrick decided to go with a sparse selection of iconic classics instead. Those included Johann Strauss’ “The Blue Danube” waltz and the opening number “Also Sprach Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss. North did not know his score had been discarded until he saw the film at its premiere.

He eventually cannibalized his unused score and used it in other films.

• Pink Floyd was asked to score the movie but could not accept due to previous obligations.

The Pink Floyd song “Echoes” on the album “Meddle” released in 1971 was inspired by, and is perfectly timed to, the “Stargate” sequence in the movie.

• Zarathustra was a Persian spiritual leader who founded Zoroastrianism. In 1883, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche wrote a book called “Also Sprach Zarathustra” (“Thus spoke Zarathustra”) which inspired composer Richard Strauss to create a symphony by the same name in 1898. The iconic fanfare plays at the opening of the film, just as the Sun, Earth, and Moon are shown in alignment, a symbol of Zoroastrianism, symbolizing the eternal struggle between light and darkness.

• The credits do not list a conductor and orchestra for “Also Sprach Zarathustra.” Kubrick wanted the Vienna Philharmonic version by director Herbert von Karajan, produced by British Decca.

But Decca did not want the company’s recording supposedly cheapened by association with the movie, and so it gave permission on the condition that the conductor and orchestra were not named. After the movie became a hit, Decca tried to rectify its blunder by re-releasing the recording with an “As-Heard-in-2001” flag printed on the album cover. In the meantime, MGM released the official soundtrack album with the version of the song as recorded by the Berlin Philharmonic.

The publicity-minded von Karajan was furious with Decca.

• Canadian actor Douglas Rain was the voice of HAL. He recorded his lines with his bare feet resting on a soft pillow because Kubrick wanted a soothing and relaxed voice.

• During filming, a number of people stood in for the voice of HAL, including Kubrick himself. The cast never heard the actual voice of HAL until long after their work on the film was done. ...cont'd

Repellents: Still One of the Best Ways to Prevent Mosquito Bites Unfortunately, there’s no easy solution to controlling mosquitoes. The more rain and standing water we have, the more mosquito habitat available for those pesky critters. Eliminating mosquito breeding sites is essential to keeping the mosquito population in check.

When the adult mosquito population seems unbearable, turn to one of the best prevention methods available…a can of OFF! Mosquito repellents with DEET are safe and very effective when applied according to the label. They’ve even improved many of these products so they go on dry, not oily.

Don’t let these pesky critters win the outdoor battle this summer. Eliminate any standing water on your property and apply repellents with DEET when outdoors.

• As Dave is disassembling HAL, the computer “regresses” through the stages of its production, concluding with singing the song “Daisy Bell” or “A Bicycle Built for Two” which the computer had been programmed to sing when it first went online. The choice of this song was due to the fact that in 1961, IBM’s 7094 computer was the first to use a synthesized voice, and the programmers chose this song for it to sing. Arthur C. Clark was a witness to this bit of computer history and wrote it into the script.

• The entire film contains only 205 special effects shots, compared to 350 in the 1977 “Star Wars” movie and over 2,200 such shots in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” from 2005. The film won an Oscar for its visual effects. Kubrick's filmmaking techniques in 2001 were so convincing that some conspiracy theorists claimed he was hired

by NASA to fake the 1969 moon landings.

• In one scene, a spacecraft is taking Dr. Floyd to the Moon when the flight attendant walks up the aisle upside down. This was filmed with a stationary camera bolted to a set that revolved, so the actress was always on the bottom as the camera turned around her.

• In another scene, a pen appears to float through space until the stewardess plucks it out of the air, an effect accomplished by taping the pen to a clear glass plate held in front of the camera.

• Voice-activated computers, flat-screen monitors, tablets, Siri and Alexa, and HAL’s ability to play chess are among the far-sighted novelties in the film that later became commonplace.

NUGGET OF KNOWLEDGE Many of the scenes of the expanding galaxies, as Dave was passing by them in the StarGate, was nothing more than paint being funneled down a tube and pouring out into a glass container full of water with a camera beneath to capture the effect.

• In the 1st century AD, Roman men as well as women used cosmetics -- lightening their skin with powder, applying red pigment to their cheeks, and painting their nails, though you'd hardly want to use their form of nail polish today -- a nasty mixture of pig fat and blood. They also painted their heads to camouflage bald spots!

• Princess Leia's "Star Wars" hairdo, which she referred to as "hairy earphones" and a "hair don't," was inspired not by bagels but women of the Mexican Revolution.

• Pound cake got its name from its original ingredients: a pound of butter, a pound of eggs, a pound of flour and a pound of sugar.

• Beat author William S. Burroughs' novel "Naked Lunch" was supposed to be called "Naked Lust."

He decided to change the title after fellow Beat writer Jack Kerouac mispronounced the original one.

• In 2009, 59-year-old Italian neurosurgeon Claudio Vitalae had a heart attack in the middle of performing a brain surgery. He powered through it when he realized his patient would never recover if he stopped, despite the urging of his staff and his chest pains worsening. Half an hour after finishing the surgery, Mr. Vitale had an angioplasty, later telling the press, "I'm not a hero, I only did my duty."

• The production’s use of so many makeup personnel actually delayed work on other films throughout Hollywood due to a shortage of artists.

• Roddy McDowall played the part of Cornelius, a chimpanzee. He suggested to his companions in makeup that they should frequently add tics, blinks, and assorted facial gestures to add a sense of realism and keep the makeup from appearing mask-like. McDowall reportedly drove home with his make-up on after filming concluded each day in order to shock other drivers on the freeway.

• Charlton Heston, in his lead role as human, utters a line adapted from George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” (“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”) saying, “Some apes, it seems, are more equal than others.”

• Producer Arthur P. Jacobs enlisted several journalists to play background apes. This was a clever way of ensuring that they would write about the film.

Answer

Weekly SUDOKU

• The movie was so popular that it spawned numerous sequels, series, books, and merchandise. All five original “Planet of the Apes” movies were number one at the U.S. box office when released.

King CROSSWORD

• The 1968 film “Planet of the Apes” had a hard time making it to the screen. Nobody wanted to make a “monkeyman” movie. Even the author of the book it was based on, Pierre Boulle, thought it would never make it as a film.

Director Franklin Schaffner even spent $5,000 making a mini-film to show that the actors in full get-up weren’t just guys in ape suits. Then in 1966 the movie “Fantastic Voyage” became a hit, and suddenly studios were calling for sci-fi. Richard Zanuck at 20th Century Fox signed on.

• Rod Serling, creator of “The Twilight Zone,” was hired to come up with the screenplay, but none of his versions resonated with the director. Writer Michael Wilson was brought in to help. Wilson had been blacklisted by Hollywood’s McCarthyism in the 1950s, having been accused of being a communist. Subsequently his script for “The Bridge on the River Kwai” (also written by Pierre Boulle) went uncredited.

• Wilson punched up Serling’s script, adding humor and racial tension. On the surface, it’s a movie about a man in a city of talking apes, but the subtext also served as an allegory to the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

• The man hired to design the ape makeup for the movie was John Chambers. After World War II ended, Chambers worked at a veterans hospital where he helped design prosthetics and facial restorations for disfigured soldiers. He made a name for himself by working on shows including “The Munsters,” “The Outer Limits,” “Lost in Space,” and “Star Trek” where he designed Spock’s ears.

• The makeup for the movie cost less than $500,000 out of the total budget of $5 million, but producers made everyone think that it cost a million because they thought it was good PR—and it was.

• At its height, the movie’s production required around 100 makeup artists, wardrobe workers, and hairstylists to be on set to get all of the apes in costume and ready. For some of the larger scenes, there were around 200 actors to get in full ape garb.

When the production started, it took six hours to put an actor into full ape makeup including hair, brows, ears, mouth, and hands. This eventually became more streamlined as the work progressed, with Chambers whittling it down to just a bit over three hours. Chambers won an Oscar for his work, which was presented to him at the Academy Awards by a (real) chimp.

You also can put a bit of the lip balm on a tissue and use that instead.

• On June 27, 1939, one of the most famous scenes in movie history is filmed -- Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara parting in "Gone with the Wind." Director Victor Fleming also shot the scene using the alternate line, "Frankly, my dear, I just don't care," in case the film censors objected to the word "damn." The censors approved the movie but fined producer David O. Selznick $5,000 for including the curse.

• During World War II Heimlich served with the U.S. Navy in China where he was the chief medical officer on the southern edge of the Gobi Desert. After seeing a soldier die of a chest wound because he couldn’t breathe, Heimlich designed a special chest drainage valve that allowed blood to drain from the chest cavity in order to give the lungs enough room to re-inflate. He also developed a cure for a previously incurable bacterial infection of the eyelids that was causing blindness throughout the region. His innovative approach was to mix an antibiotic with shaving cream and apply it to the affected area, and it worked.

• Heimlich was the first to describe the abdominal thrusts now known as the Heimlich maneuver, describing it in an article published in the periodical “Emergency Medicine” in 1974. Just 18 days later, a retired restaurant owner in Seattle used the procedure to rescue a choking victim.

• Performing the Heimlich maneuver involves a rescuer standing behind a patient and using his or her hands to press upwards on the bottom of the diaphragm. This compresses the lungs and exerts pressure on any object lodged in the trachea, hopefully expelling it.

• The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross originally recommended a series of sharp blows to the back to dislodge obstructions, but now they recommend first the back blows and then the Heimlich maneuver. However, the Heimlich maneuver is not recommended for people who are unconscious, for children under the age of one year, or for victims who have drowned. ...cont'd
