This is my favorite scene from Forbidden Planet (1956). The invisible monster from the Id is illuminated as a result of its contact with a defensive "force field" energy barrier and "ray gun" weapons fire from the good guys.

I was 5 years old when my parents took me to this movie. I still remember walking to their car parked down a slight hill. On the right side of the street was a series of steps leading down into apartments below street level. I just knew something was gonna appear from out of the darkness and rip my body to shreds. I couldn't wait to get in that automobile and get home to safety.

Forbidden Planet was so ahead of its time, that it's RIDICULOUS. From "blasters" to "photons" to "hyper space" to "beamers" to "speeders," modern si fi films simply wouldn't be the same without it. When I first saw the young and handsome Leslie Nielson as the captain of the star ship, what a departure from his goofy detective role in the "Naked Gun" films! Whatta guy.

The Id monster and other animated special effects was done by an animator and a special effects artist named Joshua Meado ,who was lent out to MGM by Disney. He was part of the team that did the special effects on Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

You know ... the effects may look ridiculous and dated. But this ends up being one hell of a creepy scene - all because of the buildup, atmosphere and tension. You don't need crappy looking CGI monsters or jump scares to make a scary scene.
@adamklugiewicz87528 жыл бұрын
+drpapa26 When I was a kid, back in the 80s, I saw this movie and that scene scared the SHIT out of me. Even now, the half-glimpsed creature is creepy and really works on the imagination. What we can't see is far more frightening than what we can see.
@misternewoutlook54378 жыл бұрын
+drpapa26 I'm with you on that. I think CGI has added realism to fantastical beings and I know you aren't denigrating that part of it, but you are right in what really makes this scene work. When you think that the actors have to imagine an unseen terror coupled with props that aren't going to be firing anything until post-production, the whole idea is how to construct it all up dramatically. Hitchcock was very influential to filmmaking in those days and suspense was an art that everyone wanted to create because it sells well with moviegoers and critics. It still does.

Except that the effects DON'T look ridiculous and dated - not for 1956. These would have been decent special effects for the early 1970s (pre Star Wars).

A wonderful film. Not my favourite scene from the movie but fantastic all the same. Mine would be the scene(s)towards the end where the truth is slowly dawning on Morbius. Robbie detects something approaching, and the defensive metal screens come down over the windows suddenly and in quick succession. In the laboratory all those symbols are flashing, indicating the Krell machinery is using astronomical amounts of energy. Morbius orders Robbie to destroy the monster but the robot cannot for it knows the truth and shuts down; and the main door begins to heat up as the monster tries to gain entry.

I think the greatest part of this movie is that the thing that dates the special effects is the style and not the substance. They did an excellent job of playing within the limitations of what they had. Looking at those backdrops in hi def is amazing, and the minimalist creature is horrifying in part for how little of it there is. Plus, the synthesized roar is unforgettable, certainly so if you watched this as a kid.

It's funny, but this movie managed to give me chills in ways that no horror film has managed to this day. The way that they manage to establish the tension around the creature up to this point is great, with nothing more than mentions of heavy breathing followed by a swift and brutal dismemberment of one of the crew members, is fantastic. It doesn't matter that we don't see the gore from the scene, the way they treat it and the creature does a perfect job of solidifying its image as an utterly unnatural force. Even disregarding the creature itself, the mystery around the krell, and the revelation that their entire civilization was literally torn limb from limb by its own inner savagery is an utterly horrifying thought that ends up adding to the sense of dread upon the return of Morbius' id monster. The whole scene ends up being intensified as well with the conversations following the Doctor's brain enhancement, of such a being existing within every living human. It brings tears to my eyes.

The effects of the monster are still amazing even today... the ray guns, not so much. You can tell the actors weren't accustomed to miming like their weapons were actually doing something, giving the impression that the guns were pretty much firing of their own accord. And Jerry meets the definition of "too dumb to live".
@eedgerton7697 жыл бұрын
I didn't get that impression about the ray guns. It has become a sci-fi convention (perhaps thanks to other movies and Star Wars) that futuristic ray guns have recoil. We expect to see actors using them in a certain way (similar to real guns). These were light weapons that only had to be aimed. Perhaps not satisfying to us since we're so used to "ray guns with recoil" but I didn't see much wrong with the way the actors were firing them here.
