Exercise 6
Listen to the woman talking about her favourite film and complete the notes.

2001: A Space Odyssey marked a turning point in science fiction film. I've seen it three times and I have got a lot out of it even though it originally came out in 1968 When it first came out, a lot of people did not like it, they couldn't figure it out, they found it strange and confusing. At he Hollywood premiere of the film a lot of people walked out. However, it became very popular, particularly among young people. It's not easy to explain what the film's about. I suppose it's to do with an alien civilization but you never actually see any aliens. The film starts,about four million years ago. It is about a group of cavemen who find a big black block. It's really a strange kind of machine that has been deliberately sent to Earth by an advanced alien civilization. Anyway, the next part of the film happen four million year later in the year 2001. Two more of these strange, black boxes have been found on the Moon and a scientist goes there to study them.
