That's why I consider it the best movie I've ever seen. Not only is it visually stunning and INCREDIBLY accurate with it's science, it can be taken so many different ways. Some say the monolith represents the idea of evolution or God or aliens. Some say the whole movie is about conception and birth.
I doubt there will ever be a movie that is as stunning in it's overall presentation and the fact it is so open to interpretation only makes it more amazing that it's nearly 50 years old. A landmark in cinema, then and now.
