2010: The Year We Make Contact [1984 film]

2001: A Space Odyssey was plotted by its author in collaboration with filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and then written in dialogue with the production of the movie. The mutually-informing parallel products were not identical; a few significant differences separated their plots. Clarke's book 2010: Odyssey Two is a sequel to the 2001 movie. In every case where narrative continuity forces him to choose, he follows the film. No doubt he was motivated by the hope (fulfilled in 1984) that 2010 would also be a movie, and he wanted to make the book digestible into a screenplay without extra retconning. After detecting an esoteric pattern in the '2001' structure, I wondered if there would be similar references and effects in the next movie. I believe show more there are. The central character of 2010 is Heywood Floyd, the protagonist of the early lunar "TMA-1" section of 2001. Understood via a Rosicrucian-Thelemite template, Floyd is an astronaut-initiate who becomes an adept by means of his 2010 adventure to Jupiter, in a mission to recover the lost Discovery and to advance human knowledge regarding the great black monolith at the Lagrange-1 point in the Jupiter-Io system. The Star Child who had been Dave Bowman serves now as a magus of the ineffable gods, giving a Word to humanity, who struggle to comprehend it. Floyd's 2010 expedition is a joint USSR-USA undertaking, which had become historically impossible before the end of the 20th century. Although the pacing and voice of 2010 are very similar to those of 2001, the effect of the second movie was much different than the first. Bowman's ascension had been awfully lonely. The crew of the Leontov, by contrast, produce two marriages, and they witness the appearance of a new "companion" on an astronomical scale, and even the solitary Star Child redeems an old friend in 2010! show less
