Although 1965 marked the enactment of the voting rights law and King's successful campaign in Selma, Ala., it also brought the riots in Watts. To many Negroes, the pace of gain was too slow and too meager. King went northward, turning his battle toward economic issues in New York City, Los Angeles...
Although some sequences are gone, most of the cutting consists of shortening lengthy shots which dwelled on slow and difficult operation of space-age machinery. Kubrick probably regrets his current job of attempting to satisfy future audiences: the trimming of two sequences involving the mechanics of entering and controlling "space pods," one-man space ships launched from the larger craft, may emphasize plot action but only at the expense of the eerie and important continuity of technology that dominates most of the film. 2001 is, among other things, a slow-paced intricate stab at creating an aesthetic from natural...
KUBRICK'S dilemma in terms of satisfying an audience is that his best work in 2001 is plotless slow-paced material, an always successful creation of often ritualistic behavior of apes, men, and machines with whom we are totally unfamiliar.

This laborious preparation may appear initially repetitive until Poole's computer-controlled pod turns on him and murders him in space, thus justifying the prior...

Still standing in the way is a thicket of props, controls and discriminatory taxes on incoming or outgoing capital. Governments often tell banks and other financial institutions where and how to invest their capital...
Lawrence's posthumous triumph as a dramatist is shared by Director Gill, whose careful casting and slow, relentless holding of long silences allow the language to flower in the mind and the subtle relationships of these numb, dumb characters to take form. Seldom in years have London audiences sat so awed and hushed as at the final scene of Mrs. Holroyd, in which the coal-blackened body of a miner (Michael Coles), the victim of a pit accident, lies on the floor of his shack while his widow (Judy Parfitt) begins to wash him, keening to herself...
