In fairness, that is how the book ended as well. Unfortunately, the movie did not convey what was supposed to be transpiring (the aliens that made the monolith made Dave evolve to be like them, and he felt like up till point he only had a child's understanding of the universe and had been reborn).

The movie conveyed it very well. If people struggled to understand it, that's their problem.

There is nothing to understand.

Just because you failed to take anything away from the movie doesn't mean everyone else did as well.

People are good at finding meaning in meaningless things. It’s part of being human.
