2001 analysis - part 7: More correspondences with 'Pulp Fiction'

CATEGORY: MOVIES








Top left: In A Space Odyssey, the pilot and co-pilot of the lunar lander are served food (by a stewardess) in the lander cockpit. Top right: A view of the interior of Marsellus Wallace's restaurant/bar from Pulp Fiction. Note that the red coloring used in this scene, is similar to the red of the 2001 lunar lander cockpit interior. Above left: The 2001 lunar lander on its landing pad. The shape and surface features of the lander make it appear somewhat similar to a sphinx's head and face, with the two windows representing eyes (click image to enlarge). Above right: The head of the Great Sphinx of Giza, ca. 1870's. [Image from the Wikipedia 'Great Sphinx of Giza' page, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.]








In Pulp Fiction, boxer Butch Coolidge maintains a 'sphinx-like' silence and facial appearance, while being ordered by Marsellus Wallace to throw his next boxing match.
