Beethoven didn’t write melodies in the strictest sense of the word. Not to mention Stravinsky etc...
There’s a difference between slow pacing and deliberate pacing. “Drive” for instance is an outstanding movie that is deliberately paced, almost hypnotic. Kubrick’s issues go beyond mere pacing, though.
2001 is hypnotic. Try Antonioni films on for size!
Can you whistle Beethoven? Yep.
Try whistling the first mvt of the moonlight sonata. Or the famous opening of the fifth symphony. Those are not great melodies. Its still great music.
So sorry.
Your attempted brainwashing does not work in my case.
Kubrick still produced dreck.
The first mvt of the Moonlight cannot be whistled to the point where someone else could identify it. It’s two long notes a half step apart most of the time. Leonard Bernstein wrote an article about how Beethoven did not really write melodies very well.
The alien technology at the end is not meant to be understandable to humans in their current state.
