If you have the time (I did last night), go read Nathan's fantastic essay, "A 'Close Reading' of Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.'" Nathan had never seen this movie until recently, so he approaches it with fresh eyes. The fact that he found it to offer such rich food for thought is icing on the cake for the rest of us.
