2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) has that famous match cut but what about the mirrored scene with the pen floating in space? placed back in Floyd's pocket we get the progression: the pen is mightier than the sword. Force may progress technology but its narrative that drives existence
Kubrick creates a false POV shot right under our noses. HAL's POV is established in monitor shots; all from plausible angles. Kubrick's POV is established in similar shots without a monitor. Just before Poole's death we get a HAL view of him emerging from an impossible POV angle.
This final POV monitor shot is not from any pre established angle that would reasonably belong to a HAL camera eye. It's a free floating POV shot pre established by Kubrick's camera, not HAL's...
This confused or switching POV plays heavily at the end of the film. The more overt POV switch belies a modal shift from established auteur POV to a free floating non "owned" POV. The traditional narrator/protagonist is obliterated and now we have POV without authorship.
The last we see of Bowman as "man" echoes back to a mirrored scene in the beginning. Our "ape" looks down into our right before discovering bones as a weapon. Bowman looks at a pool of spilled water and then discovers his mortality and ultimate transition into the Starchild.
