Chandrasegrampilli, I believe, modulo spelling. By the way, anyone knows the real name of Dr Chandra ? I recall his real name is longer, like Chandrasekhar or something. Robert Merkel Yeah, in the book, Dr Chandra says something like "I would have though that by now, any fool would know that HAL stands for Heuristic ALgorythm" (modulo thranslation, I don't have the original version). User:maveric149 Might well be the case, I haven't seen the film, but Dr Chandra definitely denies it in the book.

That was from the book and not the movie 2010: The Year We Make Contact, right? I only read the book 2010 once, but have seen the movie 7 or 8 times and can't remember that statement form the film. "even getting one of his characters to deny it in the sequel 2010 Odyssey Two" It was only when they found out that HAL was going to go apeshit and kill the whole crew that IBM pulled out of the project and all the logos came off. There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens. Quote IBM was the original contractor for much of the computer interface design on the film. HAL = IBMįor anybody who still believes that this was a coincidence, here's what Doug Trumbull had to say about IBM: GLaDOS is a much more malevolent character, though, from what we're told of her HAL was basically driven to his acts by human idiocy.

For your consideration, it is found here:
I think a summary of its findings may be a useful addition, but I hesitate to make any changes myself. Specifically, it documents with frame enlargements and analysis Kubrick's borrowing of a scene from the 1931 film version of Frankenstein while relating it to broader themes in 2001. I have written an article which attempts to demonstrate the link between HAL 9000 and Frankenstein's monster.
