    When the man found a new diamond, he was eager to talk to the general, "I don't care about the world." "You're going to marry a hero." , others are panic and out of control. We should be very fortunate that the aliens are so friendly! The issue of age, this film always feels related to the Cold War. There are always small bugs, political satire, special effects, hanging...

    It was wonderful to watch when I was a child. I still have videotapes at home. I don’t know how it feels...

    From the idea, the plot to the special effects (if that can also be called special effects) are very second-hand movies, I am hesitant to waste time watching the remake...

    Putting this story 50 years ago, I admire the imagination of the people at that...

    This film is one of the earliest alien science fiction films in the 1950s. It was adapted from the short story "Farewell to God" by Harry Bates, the former editor of the famous science fiction magazine "Amazing Stories". Seventh in the "Nine Best Science Fiction" films of all time, ahead of his own "2001". The concept of peace conveyed by this film and its insight into the dark side of human nature make it independent from other sci-fi films of its...

    The music is really good, but looking at the movies from many years ago with the eyes of modern people, you can only shake your head with emotion. When it comes to describing aliens, people on Earth are too imaginative. In addition, did EVA borrow a certain line from...

    The concept and mentality of the Cold War was subtly integrated into the film. The story and the level of excitement now seem to have no...

    This was a very important sci-fi turning point in film and television, and many of its contents were quoted or referenced by countless subsequent films. Personally, its beginning is really similar to the beginning of "Stranger in a Stranger", but it's far less exciting. After that, there was a lot of superficial American humor, and I didn't catch it...

    toss. The encounter with the aliens alluded to the international situation at that time. The skepticism of a fat woman clearly represents the thinking of some...

    I remember watching it when I was a child on a Sunday night translation program at Central China. If I were a viewer in the 1950s, it would have been quite shocking at the...

    Open eyes for "World Police" Brother America~

    I saw the remake first, and then the 51-year-old version. Due to the unsatisfactory changes in the plot of the remake version, I originally had high expectations for the old version, but in the end it was a disappointment.

        After all, it is a product of the Cold War period, and the film is still...

    Today is not as good as before

    Excluding the technical gap of nearly sixty years, this movie is much better than this year's remake of the same name.

    The only flaw in the setting that damages the overall structure is that the military's alert to flying saucers is too weak (two hapless sentinels come and go). As for the final...

The Day the Earth Stood Still quotes

  • [Klaatu is revived by Gort after being fatally shot]

    Helen: I - I thought you were...

    Klaatu: I was.

    Helen: You mean... he has the power of life and death?

    Klaatu: No. That power is reserved to the Almighty Spirit. This technique, in some cases, can restore life for a limited period.

    Helen: But... how long?

    Klaatu: You mean how long will I live? That no one can tell.

  • Reporter: I suppose you are just as scared as the rest of us.

    Klaatu: In a different way, perhaps. I am fearful when I see people substituting fear for reason.
