I did, and I enjoyed it, and in fact the original movie became a bit of an obsession for me. I watched a video that explained the meaning as related to tools and man's use and relationship with them.

I can't find it now, but this article gives a good overview of the concept with quotes from Kubrick backing the idea up. I'm still a pretty faithful Kubrick fan, with exceptions.
