CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Klaatu (Michael Rennie) gives a warning to the human race about aggression.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in a role intended for Claude Rains), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose "bodyguard" is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in the hospital, where his wounds are being tended. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one "Mr. Carpenter" (one of the film's many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby (Billy Gray), neither of whom tumble to his other-worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as "the smartest man in the world" -- an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe). The next day, at precisely 12 o'clock, Klaatu arranges for the world to "stand still" -- he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight. Directed by Robert Wise, who edited Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) for director Orson Welles before going on to direct such major 1960s musicals as West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965), The Day the Earth Stood Still was based on the story Farewell to the Master by Harry Bates.

I'm 68 yrs. old and this is my favorite sci-fi movie of all time.
I am 65 and I remember this too, scary when the robot gets out its prison and disintegrates the guards and then turns on Patrica Neal.
If only humanity and AI could work in a logical, coordinated manner
I got to see this at the MGM grand in Reno, they showed these old films and I saw Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D there too. I was 8 and it was the early 80’s, but man was I captivated by the message and it sticks with me to this day.
What did you guys think about the remake with Keanu Reaves
Agreed. Mine too. David S. Lifton, Author, Best Evidence (4/23/21)
70 years later and this is still so relevant!
👌
Given present issues in Europe it appears Klatu's message has been forgotten, however Russian, Chinese and North Korean leadership fails to listen to anyone but themselves.
Day by day we turn our freedom more and more to the machines.
It's nonsense. Some alien race would judge us?
@@phillryan1749
Then it is time to turn this planet into a burnt out cinder.
I've always enjoyed this part of the movie. An interstellar way of saying "Don't make me come back here with the belt!"
And slap the crap out of you..🥺
Don't make me turn the ship around.
Or rather, don't make Gort come back with the mega nuke.
@notfiveo More likely the person inside the Gort suit cannot see out properly and is having trouble keeping their balance.
Ha! 😅
This is one of the most influential and powerful films ever made in American cinematic history. Klatu's speech is awesome. Robert Wise, the director, eventually directed "The Sound of Music." Amazing movie.
+Gerry Kirstein And Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which I think is grossly underrated.
+Gerry Kirstein One of most Brilliant Directors in motion film. Even an expert in sound
...and the music by Bernard Herman, who also did music for Psycho, Patton, Taxi Driver, North by Northwest, Citizen Kane, and many more.

One of the best movie speeches ever.
You are right. You are so right.✅✅✅
@@lhayatifatima8184 Thank you.
@@burtonwilliams5355 you are so welcome.🙂🙂🙂
@@lhayatifatima8184 Thank you again. Stay safe out there.
This doesn’t mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibility.
Well said
Who gets to decide what is "irresponsible behavior"?
Well, so much for humans. We are the masters of irresponsible behaviour.
Yeah I dont think its so simple. Ill have to think more about this.
@@sdelony The guy with the biggest stick...
Scientist: “Excuse me, Klaatu, but our calculations show that the Universe is expanding exponentially, not growing smaller.”
Klaatu: “Gort…Vaporize this miscreant.”
Gort: ⚡️
Michael Rennie's artistry is pure class in this film.
He looks a little like Tesla...talks a lot like him!🙂
Rennie's performance fascinates me. It's so subtly alien. His body language is, well, wrong. He stands too close to people when he talks to them, and he never looks away from their eyes. When he walks or runs he barely moves his arms. His movements are all deliberate, like he consciously thinks about what he's doing rather than acts instinctively. There's rarely anything threatening in his manner, in fact he comes across as warm and gentle. But you can see how uncomfortable he makes the people around him.
This and "Forbidden Planet" are the best -- and also most intellectually stimulating -- sci-fi films of their era.
👌 ...following Klatu's message, The Forbin Project (1970).
2001 is the greatest film of all time. Exact same story as this film, if you were paying attention.
One of my favorite 50's sci-fi films and this speech is most of that reason~!
But he did not keep his promise; humans are still an unruly, backward race of beings - this Earth should have been turned into as a burnt out cinder years ago.
I suppose we are still on borrowed time until we get interstellar travel.
You mean if humans still persist to be violent with other worlds as well, then this Earth will be destroyed?
@@redblade43 That's the point of this film because if humanity continues it's violent behavior then the earth will be destroyed as part of the deal.
@@redblade43 It's a shame we can't visit the time line in which an alien really did land in Washington in 1951, and see how that turned out. ;-)
Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration. We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you.
Maybe they have been taken over too, by the bad guys. Lol
Jag Girl I dont think he will answer...
@@jaggirl maybe we live in a simulation, endless maybe's
THANK YOU. WHY would they leave out the best part?!
@@jaggirl
That's what I've been thinking they have been taking over the minds of the evil left to turn us against each other.
"I am leaving soon... And you will forgive me if I speak bluntly."
A memorable quote of the movie.
One of THE greatest sci-fi movies of all time. Done in a time when so much garbage was produced. Even more impressive when you were young watching this. It's the "Rolls Royce" of post-WW2 sci-fi movies.
Good word!
“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci
That is illogical

@@siriosstar4789 And that is often unwise.
Michael Rennie....What a great actor who also played "The Keeper" in Lost in Space!
I saw Michael on a rerun of that old TV series "The Invaders".
June 2020- We could use a visit from Klaatu and Gort today..
I always felt that if we don't learn from Covid 19 a Klaatu or Gort experience may be fall us next.
Our leaders would scare them off.
@@drew8256 "Leaders".. hahaha
The message r/woooshed over your head, apparently...
Totally agree !
Gort should pay a visit to all capitals in all the countries in the world today and see how they remember the choice they were given. A great movie with a great message, far better than the remake. Thanks for the upload. Have a Happy New Year.
This is not a great message
I like the remake
@@dragonslayer9671 I grew up in the 60s, I'm 67 now, and prefer the movies from back the with a few exceptions such as the Man From Earth, 2007, about a 14,000 year old man. Just dialogue but we'll worth it. I prefer movies with good acting and a good plot, this was taken from a sci-fi book called Farewell to the Master 1940, different from the film but just as good. Take care 👍
Agreed, Keanu Reeves was wasted in that movie. The book was very good and had a surprising ending.
I am 68 and I agree with you , the Man from Earth was an excellent movie and like you said, an exception.
Timeless acting, with a timeless message.
One of the best sci-fi movies of its time.
ANY time
One of the best moments ever in movies. This is badly needed to be heard today. Humanity has to wake up before it strikes midnight!
We tried it back in the 60s. It was called MAD or "mutually assured destruction. We almost nuked ourselves into oblivion, but for sheer luck.
Iran has a cult belief that the Iman will destroy the world (I think themselves included). It is just a matter of time before they have the technology to do it. Until Iran rejects this cultism they cannot be trusted and must be prevented from achieving their goal.
January 2021...........too late, the Bells has tolled 1 already.
My thoughts exactly
Humanity is finally waking up. FINALLY. The Best Is Yet To Come.
*70 YEARS AND STILL GOING STRONG!!! 1951-2021 Great message to close this tumultuous year out with, too*
This is truly a gold.
We are so distracted by petty crap, that we miss the entire message.
+Arlington Wright If only we could find one man* to lead us all.
*He is coming, and soon. You won't like where he leads you however.
@Pola Huchwajda The Ugandan that ate people? No overpopulation problem?
Save Amazonia Forest
Ok
**Keeps browsing morbidly obese ladies**
... Sorry, you were saying?
GORT, THE MOST BAD ASS ROBOT
A very meaning message even in this day and age that if we continue to let our differences get the worst of us it'll consume who we are.
Klaatu's warning is as relevant today as it was some 60-plus years ago.
Indeed!
Toe the line or the authorities will massacre you?
👍
@Didi X There will always be violence in this world since it's apart of human nature whether will it be terrorist attacks or genocide to name a few
Without interstellar travel we are no threat to any alien civilization (if any exist). So really this is as meaningless now as it was then.
Gort would put a stop to superpowers bent on world domination.
A million times better than the remake with keanu reeves.
balluumm1 that was the worst. Ever.
@@wendyhardin5259 yes it was Hollywood needs to leave the originals alone .Just like The Wild Wild West with Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones it was the pits 👎yuk it was an insult to one of the best 1960's show of that era Robert Conrad who play James West even said it was an insult to him & show May 9,2020
West
@ReddNekk13 I am 66 years old & I agree with you. And if Hollywood ever does a remake of a old movie especially a classic. & does it better than the original would you let me know ok ☺ Some things in life are better left alone May 9, 2020
Sheila Davis y’all definitely aren’t biased or anything lol
@ReddNekk13 The Thing (1982) was a remake of The Thing from Another World (1951) - I don't think any reasonable film fan would say that was worse, and probably most would say it was far better.
Heat (1995) was also a remake of LA Heat by the same director, albeit scaled up to full Hollywood standards and what an incredible film it was.
The Fugitive (1993) was a film remake of the 60s TV series - I've never seen the series, but the film is one of Harrison Ford's and Tommy Lee Jone's best in my opinion (and one of my all time faves).
THIS MOVIE IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TODAY.
Um, no this would be relevant in any time .....humans have always had these issues. Wake up.
Yeah, but we haven't really been able to end the world until modern times
It was relevant when Stalin was murdering millions to enforce his idea of a socialist utopia. People had to go along with the program or be liquidated. That seems to be the message here. We are being ridiculed for showing up at the first encounter with an alien of unknown intentions with weapons yet the alien brings a weapon infinitely more powerful (Gort). Just who is the aggressor?
@@liamsmalley5556 Yes by Nuclear war👹
liam smalley how? We can’t end the world with atomic bombs. They won’t do enough damage, and we’ve had them since the 1930s anyway.
This movie is so "here and now " , first saw it in the 70's as a kid and one of those movies that a remake can't eclipse 👏👏👏
I was 6 months old when this was released. The line "At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor" AND "In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us This power can not be revoked" The first sounds almost Heavenly, the second sounds somewhat Hellish. What a choice, absolute peace at the price of absolute freedom. And this was at the height of the Korean Conflict (unresolved to this day). "Peace at any Price" Just imagine a mass shooter instantaneously ceasing to exist at the FIRST sign of aggression. ALL national conflicts ending, ALL political aggression over, "road rage" gone? It was in absolute condemnation of our most base "lizard" brain sense of survival and self importance.
The second is the best bit, it convinces the aggressor, not just suggests. Tackling all the road rage might be a bit difficult, it is going on in millions of places wherever there are people.
Also starring Sam Jaffe ... He was on the blacklist during the fifties. His role in the movie The asphalt Jungle as Doc Erwin Riedenschneider was impressive !!
A very good actor.
He also played the high llama in Lost Horizon.
Gunga Din!!
I just watched this on television this evening. For the ?? time. Over the years I've seen it many times. It's definitely a classic. Love it. The message is simple and clear........clean up our act or get our collective butt kicked. As it should be.
"A threat of aggression can no longer be tolerated".
That sounds like a threat!
THIS is EXACTLY the kind of speech / action we NEED in the world today..... KLATU BARADA NIKTU
It worries me how many people applaud the idea of an irrevocably powerful, tyrannical robot enforcer who punishes the 'irresponsible'. Remember, we just had 3 years under lockdown where visiting a friend, hugging your own grandma and even just going outside was deemed 'irresponsible'. Worryingly, some people are currently arguing that NOT allowing toddlers to 'choose their gender' is 'irresponsible (and 'immoral' according to Old Joe). Some countries are making it a crime to 'use the wrong pronouns'. Think carefully when you imagine tyrannically enforced rules - they won't always be YOUR rules.
@@zantas-handle we're not talking about deviating from social norms or what's politically correct or socially acceptable.
Its about defending against an entity that would harm us all and potentially threaten mankind or democracy . Those are the kind of threats and actions that should be dealt with in that manner. It's about dealing with people who have interest or regard for peace, democracy, freedom or the welfare of the rest of the world. This wouldnt be about politics it would be about right and wrong
@@stargirlzx You say it's about right and wrong, but once you hand over irrevocable and absolute power, like this speech suggests, you no longer how any voice in deciding what's right and wrong. It's understandable yes to want to defend great truths like democracy and what's right and wrong, but this speech is about surrendering control to a 'Punisher Police Robot'. Democracy is dead as soon as we say 'OK, you guys are totally in control. Now please do only good stuff. Please don't destroy us'.
I get WHY you'd want to defend democracy, and WHY you want some real action, instead of this corrupt, self-serving gov't we see. But you can't defend democracy by handing over all power to an outside entity with irrevocable control - that's NOT democracy, that's a totalitarian regime. Remember, absolute control doesn't just control your enemies or fight the things you feel are 'bad', it controls everything, including you and me. A system based on 'obey or be destroyed' is not defending democracy, it is enforcing totalitarian rule.
@@zantas-handle as klaatu says nobody dare to defy the rights of others , the price to pay would be too horrible. Yes these THI GS would have total control but ONLY over crimes against humanity. This couldnt happen over nite and rules and protocols would have to be established long before something like this could be established. Youd have to stay clear of human emotions and prejudices to avoid a TERMINATOR 1 situation
The mistake is thinking that a machine AI would make society into anything but a slave state as that is where machine-like goes.
And some lunatics are seeking to build this now.
This movie was one of my many influences getting into film-making/writing, and of course Star Wars. A great film with a great message.
The remake, while predictably inferior, spelled out the message for our growng and plunging lowest common denominator horde. John Clease offered tangible hope when he "Submitted for Our Approval" the idea of our race rallying when faced with imminent demise.. He felt man shined brightest when closer to precipice . . Weather or not it is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not, I cannot support that strategy. In fact, if that's the best Clease has as far as hope goes, break out the drugs cuz we goin; down.
+Robert Erniso It reminds me of I AM ROBOT when the leader of the cybermen tells will smith that they must control humans to protect them from themselves. The aliens in this movie remind me of that as a what if.
+oscar madison Huh?
"Free to pursue more profitable enterprises."
Space Capitalism equals peace.
There are many ways to define "profitable."
Probably the only way a movie like this could be made in the 50s
He does not say in what more profitable” means.
@@danieldickson8591 Exactly, profitable could mean to gain knowledge, not just to gain money.
Profit need not be monetary. One could argue the pursuit of money is very unprofitable when all is said and done.
One part of this speech is interesting. Klattu mentions that in matters of aggression the robot force that Gort represents has absolute mastery over them. It's THEIR decision whether or not to eradicate those causing any violence. TDTESS is based on a 1940's short story by Harry Bates titled "Farewell To The Master." In it, the surprise ending comes where it is revealed that Klattu is actually Gort's slave, and the robots actually rule over the galaxy. A nice Twilight Zone style twist that the movie writers probably felt was a little too extreme for the message from the stars to live peacefully with each other or face the consequences.
This my all time, number one, favorite movie.
It’s almost scary how relevant this statement is today. After 50 years this message has more meaning now than it ever has.
Well done Michael Rennie
Klaatu Barada Nikto
This is always been my favorite sci-fi movie.
I saw this when I was about 8 years old and loved it ifact this was one of my favorite sci-fi films. I also loved War of the worlds, to me they are both great I wouldn't be able to pick. All though times have changed ,I tried to watch it with my 10 year old son ,Ya I had him at 46 he thought it was horrible and boring. Kids today need great special effects. We had to use our imaginations We played Astronaut,army,baseball from sun up to sun down with a taped up baseball and one bat with a nail in it. lol now the ball fields are empty and all the kids are playing playstation. sad. When I was a kid Gemini and Apollo were going on, there was Vietnam and riots too so it wasn't all a bowl of cherries, but I was a kid so those things seemed non existent to me.
The first true science fiction movie. What a classic.
They had many Sci-Fi movies before this one although this is one of my favorites.
The first "true" science fiction movie. As in, not a B-movie monster flick, or a pulp serial.
I guess one could say that Metropolis was the first true science fiction movie... but I don't think that one really holds up today. This movie does.
@@ariochiv came here to mention metropolis. Reply did not disappoint.
Le Voyage dans La Lune (1902)
Today that little speech from Klaatuu would be labeled as totalitarian and fascist - behave or be destroyed. But try to consider the time this film was made. WW2 had ended only a few years ago, millions dead, many in the audience had lost loved ones in the war, Europe, Russia, China and Japan were devastated. Klaatuu's message made sense to them. The way things are going we may need Klaatuu to return.
This movie may be old, but it’s message is timeless
Anyone here in July 2021? Classic film I loved as a kid 😃
Me too! I watched this movie when I was a girl, of course it was doubled in Italian, so I could understand it all very well. Interesting to listen to the original English speech. Greetings from Italy!
2024 !!
Still watching.
Alien:"you must unite as humanity and avoid aggression! "
Humanity:"these aliens is a space Commies shot it boys!"
That is a brilliant joke. No genius.🤣🤣🤣
The reason Sci-Fi films of this era especially this film are so beautiful and iconic is because there was no incredible effects to support the movie, at least not compared to today So instead they resorted to dialogue and this movie is coated in it.
Great ending to a truly fine film. This said a lot about what was happening
in world politics at the time. If this really were to happen we'd be obliged to get along. A great message and one the world at large
would benefit from.
. . . I am 68 also BINGO . . . i feel the same . . . Hope where there is none . . . Thank you Robert Wise
I sure wished that there was a spaceman like him that exist with his robot as we need peace on earth, not war or violence.
paralyze The pent. . .n, and peace is near
the remake was never a patch on this Brilliant movie for it,s time
Yowzer! This movie is one of the coolest ever.
"Mr Carpenter helped Professor Barnharht with his arithmetic too!"
LMFAO!!
We need a Gort now to stop all the madness. Maybe we will all work together.
The way we've been acting, we're likely to do so much stupidity that Gort would conclude we need to be exterminated.
Going only after the aggressors that would eliminate all war. Now I'm not saying there wouldn't be oppression inside countries, just no war between countries. That is the beginning of peace.
@@55Quirll Their solution of a police force of robots with complete authority over aggression is actually ingenious I think.
@@nefersguy Agreed, not the governments of this planet would go for it but many of the citizens would. Loved the movie, not the reboot.
"The test of...higher authority is...the police force that supports it."
some trivia to see the guy in the suit with the gloves off google in "Gort without gloves" during filming they almost killed the guy because he had acromegaly was very tall and walking up and down the ramp ruined him--you can see him shaking. There were 2 suits for obvious reasons one with a zipper up the front-the other in the back. The guy was never the same again and died soon after. Also in the book "farewell to the master"--actually GORT is the master. They say when you get back to your master tell them nice things--Gort says you misunderstand I AM the master. That was the final line of the book.
Glad someone else read the story. Chilling line, wasn't it?
A great short story, I am remember it. Sad about the actor who played Gort.
It looks like he died eight years later.
Thank God she had a good memory. She SAVED the Earth 🌎!
In the novel this movie was based on the robot speaks in the last lines "... tell Gort that Klaatu's death was an accident. Gort replies, "You misunderstand, I am the master." "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates
Tim Burr Brilliant story.
If you enjoy short stories of "super" robots, Isaac Asimov's "Victory Unintentional" is a good one also.
Yes, I remember that and it was a brilliant ending, there robots created man, here man created robots. Which really came first
I just love Michael Rennie in this movie ....fabulous actor
You got to figure that 71 years ago in 1951, the tensions between Soviet Russia and the Western nations were considerable. The Red Scare was in full force, and it seemed reasonable for the writers of this film to use an OUTSIDE force so powerful, it could threaten ALL of the world (should we decide to continue to "squabble" amongst ourselves). This was a brilliant concept to be used in any sci-fi movie then, or ever since IMO.
way ahead of its time. contemporary in every way.
Love the movie always!!
Gene Roddenberry always said this was one of his top favorite films. This was Star Trek before Star Trek was Star Trek. How prescient.
Well Gort! The jury's in! Time to create another burnt out cinder...
I sometimes ask myself are we ready to join a galactic community if there is one.And the answer is always NO.
As always, giving up all of your power to an entity in the name of security, gives you no freedom at all. You can’t have all of both, one of those things has to be sacrificed.
I believe the issue here is what kind of power, and what kind of entity. These robots act independently only in cases of aggression. You see here that in other matters, Gort clearly defers to Klaatu. And unlike organic beings, the robots are incorruptible, and have no other desire or ambition.
Great Movies of the fifties Michael Rennie and Patricia O Neal
Patricia O'Neal's character's role in this film is an incredibly strong one for this era in Hollywood movies.
I like Keanu Reeves the remake of this movie sucked
Did anyone notice that Aunt Bee was reading the comics section and there was a scene of Klaatu does anyone question that? It was on the news in the funny papers
The scene was out of kitchen table but they're all talk about the Spaceman and Aunt be like I said had a newspaper interesting
This movie came out only 6 years after WW2, how fitting.
And with another raging in Korea.
Love this movie!!
THE VERY BEST SCI-FI MOVIE EVER !!!! MICHAEL RENNIE' R.I.P. THE BEST ALIEN IN MY OPINION. GREAT SCRIPT TOO !!! R.I.P. TO THE CAST WHO WERE IN THE MOVIE. FROM U.K. 2O21).
Simpler and better written than the remake.
Would love to see Gort patrolling the streets of NYC, Chicago or Portland these days.
YES YES YES!!
Like the First Robocop 1987.
Anyone else notice Gort's arms twitching? This scene took so long to film that the actor inside the suit who was a frail man named Lock Martin began to lose feeling in his arms.
Great movie, its still important for our time now. Very clever made. Better then the Remake, even it was also a good movie. Its a pity why here is not the whole movie, such legendary classics they never show in TV now anymore. But thanks for uploading the clips, better then nothing
people always say sci fi movies from the 50's-90's are so cheesy but god they do deliver strongly on the message...
"The Day the Earth Stood Still" Good lesson to those hard headed minions to learn for which is similar to what's coming...
Avau Watson If our galaxy has other inhabited planets and they are capable of faster than light travel between one solar system to the next then they're probably already aware of our planet due to our radio broadcasts and their level of technology. Which is why their probably leaving us alone (aka we haven't presented them with a threat and if we're smart we never will).
Debonair Damsel Good thought, but we've been under ETs' protection since Atlantis and more reinforcement since after the atomic bomb we dropped in Hiroshima. They use portals to get to us in few hours instead of lightyear travel per say. Watch Pope Francis' speech in Sept and US financial announcement in Oct, the five planetary alignment in Nov, etc, they are all tied together to the main event coming soon. Take care yourself. Love and Light to you.
+Debonair Damsel Well, that all changed when we first detonated an atomic bomb on a populated area more than 70 years ago. Now it seems we DO have their undivided attention ever since that monumental yet tragic event. They still know well enough to keep just out of mind and sight to much of the world population (until we finally awaken as a whole to the fact that we are not alone and have never been alone in this universe), but you can certainly feel their influence behind the scenes concerning our governments and their ever-changing agendas.
+PeekaPeep All is well! It's only for the good of all. What we created here on Earth could have shaken and destroyed our world, and would effected and shaken all the multiverses around us. We are all part of one Universe. It happened much earlier eons when the Atlantians destroyed Muldek planet which was part of the 144 planets of the system we belong too. Now, it's only 143 left, then eons later when we developed the atomic bomb that you've mentioned that exploded in Hiroshima Japan, that had seen and alarmed other galaxies nearby us. They were surprised for 3D humans with lower frequency could develop such scalar weapon thus as. They were alarmed because what we do here on our planet could threaten and spread to their world as well, just like the movie said. You've gotten it right there though. Thank you. Much love and light to you.
PeekaPeep...sorry to inform you, but, we are ALONE! There will be no end to us and our planet will go on, and on, and on and on!
I remember going too see this movie for 35 cents and a box of popcorn and a Pepsi in total 50 cents and we watched it 3 times spent all Sunday afternoon watching The Day the Earth Stood Still ! Our Sunday Treat !
There must be security for all or no one is secure. Very, very true. 🌎🌏🌍🌌🖖🏻

Such a good,simple movie. Everyone can enjoyit, and the message
This speech is as true today as it was 45 years ago, nothing has changed. The warmongers still want war. Every child should have these words on the wall of his bedroom, and every warmonger for that matter.
Makes me feel so comfortable this film.. love it.
'If you threaten to extend your violence, we will turn you into french fries.'
😂
More like charcoal sticks.
And then we showed Klaatu the historical documents, and his reaction after seeing the destructive power of the Death Star was, in a word, incredulous.
Not only could these humans defend themselves, but they could bring destruction on at least the same scale as the robots.
Amazing movie.....
"Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection. But we do have a system... and it works."
This quote has stuck with me for over a decade. I screams humbleness. This is how this character earned my absolute respect.
I'd like to borrow that robot and introduce it to my neighbours.
Words of comfort from an outside source, its better to live by peaceful means than die in a pile of ashes, Klaatu: "take our advice and know these things," "we must break a few eggs to make an omelet, and if we need to break your earth to make peace. So be it"!
Anyone who thinks Gort is not that powerful should know this. He is powered by a fusion reactor capable of producing a beam that is three million degrees
Watch what he does in less than a minute to the military hardware in the opening of the film.
I must have bern 4 years old when I first saw this movie with my mother
Wait, they entrust their entire defense to robotics? Isn't that shortsighted? What if the robots gain sentience? What if a third party hacks into them and turns them against their creators? For a so-called "inferior" species, humans would at least be wise enough to see the folly in such an idea.
Shhh... just listen to the alien on TV, the writer behind his words totally know's best how to solve all our problems!
I'm 74 years old,,I remember seeing this the first time,,still one of the best sci-fi movies ever !
Me too! 72 years old . I was home alone and watched it on Saturday Night at the Movies. Scared the daylight out me, slept with my BB gun. Michael Rennie as Klaatu was one of the classiest , coolest portrayals in the history of cinema. Glad to hear another old timer enjoyed it also!
Feels like a spiritually "burned-out cinder" now. :o
The actor who played the role of the scientist also played the role of Dr Zorba in the tv classic Ben Casey.
And the movie Lost Horizon and Ben Hur, Sam Jaffe had a long career.
Mike drop after Klaatu leaves
Nothing left to be said. The message was starkly clear.
With the recent hearings on UAPs and non-human intelligence, this really serves more as a warning to us than it does a powerful theme.
Interesting that he used the name Carpenter, too. So many levels to this great movie. Without the time he spent with the mother & child changing his mind, the interstellar policeman would’ve burned it all down.
Michael Rennie was perfect for the part of Klatu.
