Yes, five stars, you read that right! Although I like Keanu, I'm not blind to the point of being insane. What I love is this movie!
There are a lot of philosophical things to think about here. First of all, let’s talk about the old women of the Ministry of Defense. When facing the unknown, whether human beings should cater to or protect themselves, this scale is difficult to grasp, and it is like a gamble. In fact, most people in life are like this old woman from the Ministry of Defense. When encountering unknown things, they are reluctant to accept, avoid, and attack. Therefore, the evolution of human beings is so difficult. Just imagine which evolution was not born out of controversy and slander. of!
Second, talk about kids. This child actually concentrates various characteristics of human beings, such as love for his father, rejection of his stepmother, selfishness, arrogance, etc. These are the true interpretation of the words of the Chinese undercover agent, and it is also the emotion between him and his stepmother. Moved the alien Neo.
Third, talk about aliens. On behalf of the universe, he wiped out the people of the earth, because you made the earth riddled with holes, and caused other creatures on the earth to be devastated, and human beings killed each other ruthlessly and bloody. The production of this film shows that a small number of people have realized the current state of human beings and are dissatisfied with it. Human beings not only need to develop, but also need to develop sustainably, which urgently needs to be changed.
Finally, let's talk about why this drama has such a low rating. There are three main reasons, too philosophical, no love, and the protagonists are not together. Here again reflects a shortcoming of human beings - it is estimated that the director hopes that human beings can introspect, but it seems that the wish has not been realized - cheap. Every time people watch a blockbuster movie, they say, I know that the hero and heroine can be together in the end, and I know what it is. This time, I will give you a less dramatic conflict. You feel that the power is not enough. What do you mean by not being cheap!
In a word, I especially love the director of this film, because after taking away the violence and sex, not only does the plot not appear empty, but it allows people to have more room for reflection. So don't mind that most people don't like this movie, because most people are idiots!

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.
