It would be more appropriate to translate the title to "The Day the Earth Stood Still". The poster is also a bit exaggerated, and the aliens are almost identical to humans. Including anti-war propaganda films under the cloak of science fiction, using the eyes of aliens to see the suspicion and selfishness of human beings, using the mouths of aliens to preach the principles of peaceful development and the warning to prevent aggression. Science fiction movies are given fairly realistic cautionary themes under the specific historical conditions of 51 years.
