OK I probably won't be a page because I only got about 3 paragraphs worth done in my rough version of that section, but any way here what I've got so far. Let me know if I need to make it any clearer. Thanks.

       To me Stanley Kubrick made a Science-Fiction film like nobody else would have or could have made in the late sixties.  He blended reality with philosophy to tell his story about the evolution of man.  Kubrick used Nietzsche’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra” and Richard Strauss’ musical motif “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” which was based on Nietzsche’s story, to help him convey the theme of his sci-fi epic 2001: A Space Odyssey. 

Nietzsche’s “Also Sprach Zarathustra” tells the story of the philosophical evolution of man.  It begins with a child that becomes a camel and the burdens of the world a placed on the camel’s back.  When the camel cannot bear any more burdens it is then transformed into a lion.  The lion then battles a dragon named “Thou Shalt,” which represents the rules of civilization. Once the dragon is defeated the lion is transformed again into a pure child, Nietzsche’s Superman. [Campbell] 

In 2001: A Space Odyssey the camel stage is represented by the ape-men developing technology to bare the burdens of life. The Lions stage is man leaving earth and fighting the dragon named HAL, which is ruled by a set of “Thou Shalt” rules in the form of computer code. Once HAL is defeated Dave Bowman is transformed into the Star Child, a form of man that no longer needs technology, which represents Nietzsche’s Superman. Stanley Kubrick used the musical motif “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” at specific point in the film to emphasize the literal evolution of man
