| DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951) | |
|
|
An unidentified flying object is circulating the earths atmosphere at a speed of 4000 miles per hour and people begin to fear what it wants. When the flying saucer lands in Washington D.C., soldiers surround the spaceship and are extremely nervous. As the aliens exits the space craft, they says that they have come in peace and then raise a strange metallic object. This triggers a solider to shot the alien who falls to the ground and as a result a giant robot appears from within the spaceship and begins to eliminate all hostile objects. However, the alien orders the robot to cease destroying the human weapons and is helped by the humans. At the hospital, a creature looking like a homo sapien appears from within the space suit and he wants to see all the leaders of the world, which is explained to be rather difficult due to the ongoing Cold War. The Day Earth Stood Still is a frightening science fiction story where the concept of aliens appearing on earth is reversed to what is more popular in cinema. The story keeps the audience chained to their chairs in suspense which also can cause the audience to loose itself in thoughts. In the end, the cinematic experience proved itself to be fantastic. |
