Includes many of the trademarks of Stanley Kubrick. Among these are the narration at the beginning; portrayal of dehumanization and the dark side of human nature; the tracking shots down the length of tall, parallel walls, and "The Glare", with David's head tilted and eyes looking upwards; the scene in the bathroom; the three-way conflict between David, Monica and Martin; an obsessed hero; imaginary worlds; a journey towards freedom and knowledge; the use of classical music in Richard Strauss' "Der Rosenkavalier". Perhaps the most direct homage to Kubrick's work is when David is stuffing spinach into his mouth in an attempt to compete with Martin, and Henry yells "stop Dave, please stop!"; the dialogue is taken almost literally from the final scene between HAL and David Bowman in Kubrick's 2001: Odissea nello spazio (1968).
