When are questionable moral decisions made in 2001 Space Odyssey (film)?
They lied to the public about the black object saying a disease had broken out. Sending so few people such a long way without decent backup is questionable. Regarding a computer as “foolproof” is so unbelievably arrogant. It suggests that human input into the design could never be blamed. HAL didn’t misuse power, he was not programmed correctly. If you want a human analogy – he was an abused child. Personally, I detest Clark’s overall ideas. Almost as much as I hate Assimov’s output. But Kubrick’s photography was startling.
