Weibo Movie Review-"The Day the Earth Stopped"

1. The classic style of sci-fi movies. The opening paragraph of aliens is repeatedly repeated in subsequent movies, covering almost all the image strategies of such movies: radar stations, government responses, panic crowds around the world, and so on. 2. Drawing on the visual elements of film noir. The night scenes on the streets obviously borrowed the lighting method of noir films. When Cratu went to boarding for the first time, his face was completely covered in black. This was not only a horror effect, but also a harmless identity to him. A hint; we can see that when the electric light is lit, he is immediately lit by soft lighting. 3. The implication of racism, as the other, even though he does not have any appearance that distinguishes it from the people on earth, he is still regarded as a threat and caused widespread panic. 4. The concluding speech is for those communist countries that have just emerged. 1951 was the era when the Cold War began not long ago, the Korean War was fierce, and Soviet missiles gradually gained superiority.

The scare of nuclear war, with the flirting of humanoid aliens and milfs with children, is fun. To make a rant, in the American movies in the 1950s, there was a global power outage, and the shots were only given to the United States, Paris, France, London, and Moscow, the Soviet Union. It turns out that humans in the second world and the third world really have a very low sense of existence. Compared with the current Hollywood blockbusters Compared with the elements of China and Japan, the improvement of national strength is obvious.

The U.S. military did not like this movie and even refused to provide props and tanks for filming. This is really too much to worry about. At the end of the movie, the aliens gathered the human elites together to say something about the life and death of the earth, but what they said was a very American value: everything is good to the people on the earth, and the only hope is to do business with the people on the earth. There are no bright spots except for hitting the fifties and nuclear fear.
