GREAT BOOKS: The War of the Worlds
มุมมอง 6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A look at H.G. Wells and specifically his novel, The War of the Worlds and its influence on the future, and its initial intents.
What is bro summoning a tornado this scene was kind of confusing🤔
RIP Donald Sutherland 😢
And the magnificent voice of Donald Sutherland.
First saw this 30 years ago (while channel surfing with DUCKMAN on the USA Network). Still freaks me out.
I cringe when someone asserts that, in the 1953 film, the Martians are "flying." Close watching tells us that is incorrect. The "legs," according to the scientist-hero of the movie, are actually made of magnetic flux (or some other kind of faux-scientific gibberish) thus supporting the machines, as they would be with mechanical legs of the original story. Indeed, the legs are seen briefly as the Martians first emerge from the initial pit; an effect abandoned for some reason (probably money and time).
Its crazy how the anmimation and special effects in 1988, looks worse than the 1950's film XD
The spirits are stronger than your power!
1953 tripod
1988 tripod 5:00
Why does the head Martian sound like John Houston? 👽👾👾👽🛸🤓😎✌🏻
I guess it wasn't in the budget to show another of their classic war machines. Though it isn't nearly as silly as that time they took the weapon off of one and put it on a car of all things!
As cheesy as that episode was, I still liked it, especially since 3 of the members of Platinum Blonde, who are one of my favorite 80s bands, appeared as members of the biker gang. But I agree, it was a bit silly attaching the heat ray to the back of a hearse (and now it shoots a straight laser beam instead of a heat ray?)
Maybe the straight laser beam is like a power saving mode for the weapon?@@mysticwolf75
This is corny as hell, but I love the design of the ship.
You're serious? Well, who'd invoke enough innovation to put Native American folklore into an alien film?
@@TheMightyN I like the ship it’s a great tribute to what the tripod ship would have looked like in the classic film.
This was one of the best episodes.
Yeah, then season 2 was craptastic.
@@DanielAppleton-lr9eq 100% agree.
@@mysticwolf75 Even if the aliens used human hosts that ended up looking like extras from The Walking Dead, season 1 was still reasonably good. You don't piss on it to try to make it better ! This series could've lasted a few seasons longer.
@@DanielAppleton-lr9eq I think it would have, had Sam and Greg Strangis been allowed to see their plans for the series through. Unfortunately, when Frank Mancuso Jr. took over production for season 2 (after he, himself, admitted to never watching season 1), he totally ruined it.
@@mysticwolf75 See ? Another suit who tosses canon into the crapper then basically substitutes THEIR OWN IDEAS & doesn't give a dog - fart about the original vision - although the movie that the 1st season was a continuation of wasn't HG Welles' vision 100 %, either, I guess.
Why all the human sounds ailen after riding the flying mahine
Cause those people aren't human.
In the series, aliens took over human bodies.
MY GOD, IT IS A FLYING MECHINE
It is not flying machine is similar to mantapod from 1953 the dofference is 1988 has visible legs and 1953 has electromagnetic legs and the lights color
@@Burn-mq6iw A LOT of science - fiction ships are triangular or nearly triangular in configuration. The people who report " alien spacecraft " supposedly see variations on the same shape. It's leaked into the subconscious ( Not saying that it's REAL. That dog isn't going to hunt here. ) from fiction.
It was actually filmed on horsell common.
dang the 1988's where weird
Yea, no kidding, Sherlock
@@entityv.2830 What are they going to say about the 90's to the 2020's, I wonder ?
Great series, season 1
This is the first time in any fiction I've seen Supernatural forces take on Extra terrestrials. Pretty remarkable
First time for everything! To life immortal!
@@bryansillman3240 We need more of it.
My god
@@entityv.2830 I know right?
Yea
I didn't read the book, actually. Now. After having scene this (and kudos to Donald Sutherland wonderful narration), I truly WANT to read this classic!
It's amazing more people aren't into this stuff...It's fantastic!
0:04 0:13 **Funny Man Sounds**
thank you for making that!
to life immortal
Perhaps the best novel ever...my favorite film based on this is the 1953 version (the plane was the Northrup YB-49 "Flying Wing"...only 15 were ever produced)
Thank you so much! Please upload more great book episodes
Interesting design.
Thank you for this bbc documentary of 1990 . I love the powerful voice of Robert Southerland . Love from Kashmir
The Learning Channel aired this series, back when TLC took the 'Learning' part seriously.
