	HAL 9000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		HAL 9000 is also well known for a chess game he plays with Frank Poole, whose defeat is seen as an ominous foreshadowing to both the future events of the movie and the increasing dominance of machine over man.
		HAL 9000 (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) is a fictional computer/character in the Space Odyssey series, the first being the novel and film 2001 A Space Odyssey, written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1968.
		Faced with the prospect of disconnection, HAL proceeds to kill Frank Poole while Poole is repairing the ship, as well as the other members of the crew who are in suspended animation by disabling life support systems for the suspended animation chambers the crew is placed in.

		The HAL 9000 comes equipped with a general-purpose video system that follows Poole and Bowman around Discovery.
		From the moment HAL utters his first words, it is clear to the moviegoer that the 9000 series is a superior architecture: HAL's voice is decidedly nonmechanical.
		The HAL 9000 computer- an artificial intelligence that could think, talk, see, feel, and occasionally go berserk - was supposed to be operational in January 1997.

	The Kubrick Site: The Case For HAL's Sanity
		The first piece of evidence arises from the chess game between Frank Poole and HAL.
		Indeed, HAL makes it perfectly clear that he considers all human beings to be error-prone, while he is, "foolproof and incapable of error," and later he will attribute a discrepancy between himself and a twin HAL 9000 computer back on Earth to "human error."
		Of course, HAL might not have attempted a deliberate mistake, as it posed a grave risk of being caught, but perhaps he chose to do this because the moves in the game were not being recorded, except possibly by himself.

	theLogBook.com Movie Reviews - 2001
		The Discovery's onboard computer, the artificially intelligent HAL 9000, begins to show signs of unreliable decision-making, and when Bowman and Poole take steps to shut HAL down, it kills Poole during a spacewalk and tries to shut Bowman out of the ship when he goes to retrieve his fallen comrade.
		HAL also deactivates the three frozen scientists' life support units, killing them as well.
		Faced with the first solid evidence of extraterrestrial life, humankind launches a mission to Jupiter, the planet toward which the newly discovered monolith transmitted a brief signal.

	Amazon.com: 3001: The Final Odyssey: Books: Arthur Clarke
		This he does by resurrecting astronaut Frank Poole, previously notable mainly for being HAL 9000's first victim, after he'd been found adrift in deep space, and then plopping him right smack in the world of 3001 and letting us see it through Poole's eyes.
		Fans of 2001 will be happy to know that Frank Poole's body (sent out to the depths of space compliments of HAL's paranoia) is recovered and, thanks to a thousand years worth of medical advances, revived.
		Poole's search for the Bowman-entity actually moves the plot forward and provides an ending every bit as strong as 2010.

		HAL 9000 is also well known for a chess game he plays with Frank Poole, whose defeat is seen as an ominous foreshadowing to both the future events of the movie and the increasing dominance of machine over man.
		Halman helps Frank Poole infect the monolith (which it once served) with a computer virus; as the primitive life in Jupiter's clouds were sacrificed to make Jupiter into a sun to warm Europa, it is feared that humanity would in turn be sacrificed for the new life on Europa.

		Poole, however, hopes that an exception will be made for him, because his old shipmate Dave Bowman apparently still exists in some form within the Monolith on Europa, his mind merged with that of the debugged HAL 9000.
		But Poole grows restless and resolves to complete the mission he started 10 centuries ago: to investigate the mysterious and powerful black slab known as the Monolith.
		In 3001: The Final Odyssey, Clarke's third sequel to the 1968 novel and film, a spacecraft recovers Poole's spacesuited body, which has been perfectly preserved by the vacuum of space.

	2001: A Space Odyssey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The ship is manned by a crew of two astronauts, David Bowman and Frank Poole, and an on-board computer called HAL 9000, designed to function as an artificial intelligence, which sees through multiple distinctive fish-eye cameras located around the spacecraft and speaks with a warm, mannered human-like voice.
		After the apparently malfunctioning unit is retrieved it is found to be without error suggesting that the fault lies with the onboard HAL9000.
		History of the World - Part 1, Mel Brooks' uneven satire of the history of humanity, begins with a scene similar to "2001", except that the ape-men are, shall we say, self-absorbed.

	Review: 2001: A Space Odyssey
		On board are two human crewmen, David Bowman (Keir Dullea) and Frank Poole (Gary Lockwood), three cryogenically suspended scientists, and the "brain" of the craft, the HAL 9000 computer (voice of Douglas Rain), one of moviedom's famously insane electronic entities.
		Douglas Rain, who provides the voice of HAL, is in many ways the most memorable, since his words and tone humanize the machine, transforming it into a tragic figure.
		HAL is the villain, but we can't help feeling a surge of sorrow for him, and his redemption in 2010 is welcome.

	Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This scene is obviously a nod to Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey where Bowman and Poole discuss the possiblity that HAL 9000 might be malfunctioning from the soundproof cockpit of a space pod while the computer reads their lips, therefore being aware of their intention to disable HAL's higher mental functions.
		There is also a series of comedic shorts, Ghost in the Shell: Tachikoma Days, attached to the episodes on the home video releases featuring the antics of the Tachikoma mini-tanks of Section 9, involving plot points from the episodes it accompanies.
		At the same time, drawbacks are revealed in the form of "Closed Shell Syndrome" or cyberbrain autism and "Cyberbrain Sclerosis".

	Understatement and the Kuleshov Effect in Kubrick's 2001
		In the case of Poole's questioning the operational record of the 9000 series, the impatience is coupled with suspicion and even muted animosity.
		Poole and Bowman both deliver their lines rather lifelessly, and their faces show little feeling.
		HAL is not the only character who displays understatement.
