The Day the Earth Stood Still

Very funny set of movies, I don't need to be too serious to watch this movie, if you take it too seriously, you will die of laughter, since the aliens obtained the DNA of the earth people and turned into humanoids, I knew it was made for Keanu Reeves Made to order, you can't ask for an alien who just "degenerates" into a human being with a rich expression? Keanu Reeves' expression is blunt and makes sense. As for why the aliens want to destroy the earth, and why they suddenly cancel it, more than a children's cartoon Child's play. Deep research is a waste of time.

    So an alien cares more about earth environment than humans. Maybe world leaders should have a 2nd thought of what they agreed on at the APEC

    The movie is not as bad as the legend, at least the first 95 minutes are very good. Some of the detailed descriptions are quite standard, but the final ending is a bit sloppy (the original version I bought when I was in high school, but unfortunately I haven't watched it and I don't know if the ending of the original version is like this), if this ending can be changed to a plot and give With enough extension, the audience's evaluation will be better.

The Day the Earth Stood Still quotes

  • Helen Benson: I need to know what's happening.

    Klaatu: This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.

    Helen Benson: So you've come here to help us.

    Klaatu: No, *I* didn't.

    Helen Benson: You said you came to save us.

    Klaatu: I said I came to save the Earth.

    Helen Benson: You came to save the Earth... from us. You came to save the Earth *from* us.

    Klaatu: We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.

    Helen Benson: What are you saying?

    Klaatu: If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life...

    Helen Benson: You can't do this.

    Klaatu: ...this one can't be allowed to perish.

    Helen Benson: We can change. We can still turn things around.

    Klaatu: We've watched, we've waited and hoped that you *would* change.

    Helen Benson: Please...

    Klaatu: It's reached the tipping point. We have to act.

    Helen Benson: Please...

    Klaatu: We'll undo the damage you've done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.

    Helen Benson: Don't do this. Please, we can change. We can change.

    Klaatu: The decision is made. The process has begun.

    Helen Benson: Oh God.

  • Professor Barnhardt: There must be alternatives. You must have some technology that could solve our problem.

    Klaatu: Your problem is not technology. The problem is you. You lack the will to change.

    Professor Barnhardt: Then help us change.

    Klaatu: I cannot change your nature. You treat the world as you treat each other.

    Professor Barnhardt: But every civilization reaches a crisis point eventually.

    Klaatu: Most of them don't make it.

    Professor Barnhardt: Yours did. How?

    Klaatu: Our sun was dying. We had to evolve in order to survive.

    Professor Barnhardt: So it was only when your world was threated with destruction that you became what you are now.

    Klaatu: Yes.

    Professor Barnhardt: Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we evolve. This is our moment. Don't take it from us, we are close to an answer.
