2001: A Space Odyssey?!
Question: 2001: A Space Odyssey!?
Towards the end of the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey", the main characteer is traveling through this pod in space and ends up going through a colored tunnel now called the "stargate"!. I didn't know how he got to this tunnel, so I looked on wikipedia and it said he went through a monolith!. I've watched this scene again, and I don't see any monolith o!.o Is there something I'm missing!? If anybody knows where the monolith is in the movie, could you point it out to me!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

From Wikipedia:
A caption reads "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite”!. Dave leaves the Jupiter ship in an EVA pod, and encounters ANOTHER MONOLITH IN ORBIT AROUND JUPITER [my caps]!. While approaching it, he finds himself suddenly traveling through a tunnel of colored light (generally known as the “Star Gate”) racing at great speed across vast distances of space viewing many strange astronomical phenomena, concluding with earthlike landscapes with altered colors!. He eventually finds himself in a bedroom containing Louis XVI-style decor!. He repeatedly sees future versions of himself, with the film's POV each time switching to the later Dave!. Finally an elderly and dying Dave Bowman is lying on the bed!. At the foot of the bed, another monolith appears!. It transforms him into a fetus-like being enclosed in a transparent orb of light, the “Star-Child”, who returns to Earth, where he floats in orbit!.
You shouldn't have to watch too closely to see the monolith that is floating in space!. He actually travels through it, beginning that "light show" sequence!. I tried to find that clip on YouTube but found only the part where he's already passed through the monolith!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
