Movie Examination: The Day The Earth Stood Still – As Pleasant As The Real McCoy?
Science fiction movies are a treat for many people. For those that like a good science fiction movie, there’s nothing better than a believable story with good writing and decent actors, along with a story that has a powerful metaphor that can be understood in terms of current events. The remake of “The Day The Earth Stood Still,” is such a movie.
It’s acceptably recognized that a lot of of the science fiction, extraterrestrial incursion type cinema in the fifties and sixties were similes for the ever increasing and overhanging risk of sheer demolition due to nuclear war. The initial movie addressed this straightforwardly, as the invading aliens came to give Earthlings a forewarning to either end fighting or face the rage of the aliens. Genuine to the original, the aliens came as council of a planetary coalition of sorts. But the Earthlings were in danger of not being integrated owing to their wicked habits. In the initial movie, the iniquitous habits were conflict and nuclear stockpiling. In the remake, the nefarious habits are biological mistreatment of our own planet.
Our parable starts out with several scientists being rounded up by some armed forces or management persons, we’re not sure which. They aren’t told the exact purpose, only that there is an looming danger, and the management officials aren’t sure what to make of it. The scientists are amazed to find out that there is some entity hurtling towards Earth, and if it isn’t blocked, it will readily obliterate everything.
They all brace for bang, and of course nothing happens. The article turns out to be a huge space craft. And as the representative exits the space craft, (and is customarily shot by some trigger happy soldier) we meet the notorious Gort. The giant robot who is the emissary’s guardian. They take the envoy to a management hospital, where he is to be interrogated.
They get a few answers out of him, but he isn’t here to satisfy questions. He is here on a truth discovering task. Is the Earth worth saving, or not? This is his mission, and based on how he is treated when he initially arrives, his inborn answer is that the Earth should be given a fresh start. And by giving the Earth a fresh start, he means to slaughter all the people, and let the Earth slowly repopulate itself. Not good news for the current Earthlings, to be sure.
But a surprising thing happens to this seemingly solely logical creature from outer space from who knows where. The a range of people that he meets on his run from the establishment convinces him that Earth folks are pretty decent, on an individual level. He concludes that because people are good, we deserve a second chance. But unluckily, events have been set into action which he may be powerless to stop. He tries for a settlement, one that may be inconvenient, to say the least, but is much better than sheer annihilation. This remake stays fairly true to the real thing, yet introduces a few novel elements. All in all, it’s worth seeing, but not worthy of a spot in your own individual library. This one is categorically a rental.
