What don't you get about 2001?
It's a pretty basic story which I understood perfectly well when I was 11 or 12yrs old (I might have seen it before then but I can't remember).
My strongest memory of Eye Wide Shut was remonstrating with the couple having sex behind me in the cinema (it wasn't even during an erotic scene).
It was a regular Odeon cinema too.
How grotesque.
Perhaps "not getting it" was the wrong terminology. I followed the plot well enough, but I do feel like I'm still missing something.
