No, it's a movie with trippy special effects that were wayyyyy ahead of its time. A visionary movie, one of the greatest ever made. But it is not "accurate" to anything but itself. Would you say it's an accurate portrayal of the first weapon/tool used on Earth by a chimp? Would you say it's an accurate portrayal of space craft and space travel? Would you say it's an accurate portrayal of advanced AI?

2001 is a lot of things, but "accurate" isn't one of them. Just enjoy it for what it is, a beautiful, genius work of art that speaks to something greater. 

To answer your question though, look around you right now. This experience is pure consciousness. You've never known anything but pure consciousness, because that is all there is.

yeah I use to be a very passionate filmmker when i was younger and Stanley was my inspiration, he could really add depth to his art. I would of love to have spoke with him regarding his opinion on consciousness, I don't think he knew much about it despite being a very intelligent man who had a thirst for knowledge.

Disco light show = absolute godhead. I always inquire with some Abba in the background. Great movie, though.
