Agreed. The original message was "we can be better". The remake's message is "You are bad little children, we're taking away your electricity till you learn to be nice the animals."

The premise of the remake was ok at best. It could’ve been done better. The plot really needed to be beefed up. ‘You are killing the earth, so we are going to kill you’ Not really a good plot.

The Bernard Herrmann main theme with the theremin always gives me goosebumps. I think the film still holds up. It would be interesting to read Ray Bradbury's unproduced sequel script. The 1960's Irwin Allen TV series, Lost In Space, used excerpts from the film score in parts of the pilot and in several other episodes of the first (black & white) season. Thanks for this, and looking forward to the next part.

A really awesome scene in the opening is when the crowd surges toward the spacecraft because they were curious about Klatuu. But then when Gort surprises them as he comes out to defend Klatuu the crowd recoils in fear. Excellent film making.

Many things helped that great scene. One of course was use of the Theremin. These used in this superb film and really helped with the atmosphere methinks.

Despite the film's glaring plot holes, it holds a place along with The Thing (1951) as an outstanding adult science fiction film. Today, while special effects have improved incredibly, plot, writing, and characters have not.

Possibly the most incredible entrance of a robot walking off a ship that ever dawned the Hollywood screen. In the original movie when Gort first appears on the entrance of the space ship then walked down the flank, no other movie has ever matched that sensation since.

How did Gort get from the park to the jail without being seen and thereby causing a huge commotion and military response?
@jimb45972 жыл бұрын
I have asked myself that very question every time I watch this movie (which is frequently!!). I’ve seen this movie since it was released and still haven’t figured that small detail out. I have finally decided that, if Gort and their technology can figure out space travel and “neutralizing the earths electricity”, they can also probably figure out how to get Gort to and from the jail and back to the ship unnoticed. Still, excellent question!!

@@mydogbrian4814 No, the title is to be taken literally. It is a reference to the moment when Klaatu's people disable all electrical technology on the Earth (with the exception of instances where that would cause harm). On that day the Earth does 'stand still' for half an hour. In answer to the OPs question, the Earth stands still at twelve noon. The technology used is not discussed in the film.

"four-letter word" is a euphemism for words that are uncouth. Fuck, shit, damn, hell, all four letters. Saying "peace is not a four-letter word" means that talk of peace was probably frowned upon amid Cold War tensions and this guy wanted to change that dynamic.
