The Day the Earth Stood Still





Prompt 2) What I liked about this film was it's portrayal of the alien a man and the robot. The alien man looked like a normal human but was actually from another planet. It was very interesting to see Mr Carpenters relationship with the boy bobby and his mother. You normally wouldn't see so much compassion in an alien in a normal alien movie you would not get this type of interaction that's what caught my attention. Another scene that I really like was when the robot took the women into the space ship and kept her there so she would be safe. I also liked when the robot brought Mr Carpenter to the space ship and then was able to bring him back to life. It was interesting to see how the space man was able to get everyone's attention without having to do any destruction. this movie portrayed the aliens as civil beings who just wanted protect the universe and the earth as unstable place where anything could happen.

  1. nice post.
    however, i'd have to agree and disagree with what you said about the gort not doing much destruction. It's true that he didn't do a lot but, he did enough. He single handedly destroyed a tank, rifles, other weapons, and killed two soldiers. The reason, i feel, he got so much attention was because of his potential. The humans saw what he could do and beacuse of that they feared him, they knew in a way that if he wanted to he could deal some serious damage.
