The narrative require sound now? I think you might be confusing it with narration.

While I agree with you, he also does have a point that the concept of "narrative" is largely foreign to 2001.
gangler:
Is it? That surprises me. The concept is pretty all inclusive. Does it not tell a story at all?

Yeah, I uh...I don't have an excuse for that.

I would say it does not. I would even say it makes no attempt to do so. Instead it attempts to present a series of visually stunning sequences which can be interpreted in conjunction with the novel to form a story, but no story is inherently present in the film.
No doubt many would disagree.
I will acknowledge that several individual scenes do effectively tell part of a story, but no overall story is formed and I genuinely believe it was not the intention that one should be. Regardless of this I still consider it a directorial masterpiece. I believe Kubrick achieved what he set out to do, which appears to have been the creation of an experience rather than a narrative.
There's an audience for that.
It just isn't me.
Aww... my postcount increased, and I'm not an Emoticontraindication anymore.
