I am of the view that Stanley Kubrick's use of classical music pieces like
Blue Danube for 2001 instead of the original music intended for the movie
provided by Alex North was an unfortunate mistake. The
use of instantly recognizable overwhelmingly powerful classical
is more of a distraction than providing an effective background
underscoring to complement the visual images. I am sure some other
choices of classical music for the Enterprise docking scene shown
her would capture the audience's attention immediately. Thankfully
not every director is like Kubrick.
