CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Klaatu (Michael Rennie), the alien visitor, emerges from his flying saucer and greets the Earthlings.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in a role intended for Claude Rains), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose "bodyguard" is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in the hospital, where his wounds are being tended. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one "Mr. Carpenter" (one of the film's many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby (Billy Gray), neither of whom tumble to his other-worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as "the smartest man in the world" -- an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe). The next day, at precisely 12 o'clock, Klaatu arranges for the world to "stand still" -- he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight. Directed by Robert Wise, who edited Citizen Kane (1941) and The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) for director Orson Welles before going on to direct such major 1960s musicals as West Side Story (1961) and The Sound of Music (1965), The Day the Earth Stood Still was based on the story Farewell to the Master by Harry Bates.

I love how the guys in the tanks pull out their side arms
Nice get. It was the knee-jerk reaction to fear in the USA even then.
@@russellcampbell9198 yes back in 1951
The audience is bated in a way, when Klaatu brings out his “gift” that resembles a weapon. When Klaatu is shot it makes us (Earth or US) out to be crazy and aggressive. Confusing aggressive with defensive has always been a good SiFi theme.
Yeah... “Let’s see, I’ve got an M2 “Ma Deuce” and a 90 mm main gun.....na’h, this may get serious, better draw my trusty 1911!” ROTFL!!
No trigger discipline
One of the greatest sci-fi movies ever. 1951 and it still holds up today.
The soldiers who took part in this movie were members of the 3rd Calvary Division stationed in Fort Meade. The military was kind enough to supply all the equipment and manpower for the production of this film including some ancient weapons like the .30 cal Watercooled Browning MG to the new gear being used such as the M1 Carbines and M24 Chaffee.
M 24 Chaffee tanks he? Always wonder what kind of tanks.
"The Army has taken every precaution."
*Thousands of civilians in a possible hostile situation with hundreds in the line of fire of small arms and tanks*
...and then the guys in the tank draw Colt automatics. Oh yes, very proportionate.
The military is too often portrayed as cardboard characters. Men I have served with were nothing like what i see in the movies.
With a lieutenant in charge.
lol
The Army also deploys an AA battery in order to take down the saucer if it fires upon the column.
These OLD movies are great...
ikr
Klaatu: "We have come to visit you with peace and good will..."
Army: "That's it boys! OPEN FIRE!"
We have come to visit you with peace and good will with a robot that has the power to destroy your world if it so decides. Meanwhile out of dozens of armed soldiers only one panicked and fired at the alien when he pulled out a device that could have been a weapon.
They come in peace and goodwill but they have no problem destroying the Earth and killing everybody if they don't get what they want when they want it !
Why is the army surrounded by freaking idiots?
aldof hister sounds like our own government
@@dalemiller78dm Aldof Hister sounds like a cousin of that German hotel tycoon, Baron Adolf Hilton!
1951 I was 6 years old when I saw this movie. It scared the crap out of me. Later, it became a favorite when I realized the allegory of the film. A wise and noble man arrives on Earth, coming in peace. In the end, he is killed but is brought back to life. And while on Earth, he goes by the name...Mr. Carpenter. Forget the Keanu Reeves farce..This is great sci fi interlaced with religious themes . And Bernard Herrman's great score.
I watched it on Saturday Night at the Movies probably around 1960. I was about 9 yo and it scared the bejesus out me also . Slept with my BB gun that night! In my opinion the greatest Sci Fi film ever produced.
Damn your like 80 year old
@@Luke_Skywalker1836I'm 78. Yep ,I'm old.
A Christ figure
@@wesleycook7687aging like a fine wine 🍷
Still an awesome classic in 2024 … 1951 … year I was born …
Alien dude: "we come in peace and goodwill"
'Murica: *draws weapons*
This pretty much sums up the current state of our country now especially with the George Floyd riots happening all over the place.
Kill the Aliens
Usa and russia Both evil towards aliens
@@CrossOfBayonne lmao, quit your BS. the alien in this movie is also pro-police. 😂
It also sums up human nature since no matter what country you're from people get on edge when extraterrestrial or foreign threats step on our soil.
I will never forget when Michael Rennie introduced The Day the Earth Stood Still in 1962 for NBC's S Saturday Night at the Movies. I was 7 years old, and my whole family gathered round the old B&W tv to watch it. I wish someone could find a clip of this and post it some where on TH-cam. I have been a huge fan of sci fi ever since that day.
I remember it the same way. It was a movie "event". I don't remember the intro, but it is one of my favorites.
I remember watching that to this day
The granddaddy of all sci-fi movies
This movie and Forbidden Planet are my favorite 50's SciFi.
One of the best of all time never tire seeing this movie...lcon status forever.
One of the Best sci- Fi alien movies ever made. Enjoy watching it all the time.
2:08 -- You can see the hand of the guy on the right shaking. He really looks scared!
That was a nice touch.
One of the greatest and most important Science Fiction movies of All Time! First saw it about 1979-80 and have loved it ever since! The Music was so brilliant and memorable used later in Lost In Space!👽👾🤖🛸🌏🌍🌎📽️🎬
This is my favorite sci-fi movie. It was made the year I was born. Yes, I'm old.
I love that at the 1:00 mark the dudes in the tank pull out their sidearms. “Hmmm. Tank or .45, which should I use?”
lesson for all aliens: this is not how you make first contact with a primitive society
they tried this in 1952 Washington DC but was met with airplanes and shot them up .... humans lost a true first encounter that day. they may try again but when they deem it safer
@@OverlordZephyros I don't think the airplanes ever were able to out maneuver the objects, get close to them, let alone shoot them down
@@j.hateshisjob5137 yes but if they land then they'll be a sitting duck, cant maneuver if you not flying
@@OverlordZephyros I was referring to the 1952 Washington DC incident. I'm not aware of any reports of objects "landing" only flying through the sky and disappearing at incredible speeds.
What about the alien Valiant Thor?
Klaatu: “ I come in peace”
Cops: “HES GOT A GUN”
BootyHole Sniffer "Stop resisting! STOP RESISTING!!!"
LOL
Yep the police haven’t changed for years. Hope their interstellar police are wiser because so many earth people just don’t want to grow up, yet.
@@stormphoenix14 in the movie they say that the interstellar police annihilate the planet if any sign of hostility is detected. If so, then that's a lot of destroyed planets.
This is a great film, a classic. superbly written, staged and acted. Wonderful musical choice. I also enjoyed the parody of it in
Mars Attacks!
Tank commander: "Drive me closer. I want to hit them with my 1911."
Klaatu : we have come to visit you in peace.
Karen : I want to speak to your manager...
I’m dropping into the middle of your most important city with this large space ship you’ve never seen, greeting you with a helmet that fully obscures my face, holding up a stick at you that may or may not be a weapon, and all while you’re in the middle of a Cold War with Russia and just starting a shooting war with North Korea.
I expect you all to be calm, cool, and collected.
I’ve watched this movie for school it’s a really good film
ZincBoss what was the purpose .Was it a Science project ? May 9,2020
@@sheiladavis6523 Its supposed to have been about the anxieties American's had during the Atomic age, its very entrenched in cold war history i would look into it.
Old sci fi movies are definitely better than new ones.
That actually depends on what you watch. There are some films out that are quite decent including all the Christopher Nolen movies and countless others.
nostalgia.... but if it hit cinema now people would not go see it
This movie, debuted the year I was born.. It's my Fav all time Sci-Fi flick.. If anyone hasn't seen it, they should. I think it's Fabulous !!!...
Willie: "Aaagghhh It's a monster kill it! Kill it!"
Klaatu: "We have come to you in peace and goodwill."
Willie: "Oooooh he comes in peace. KILL IT! KILL IT!!!"
This scene also sums up human nature because no matter what country you're from people get on edge especially when extraterrestrial or unknown threats come on our soil.
Just don't release the dove of pease least we unknowingly offend them, "Ack Ack Ackackack"
Great movie, and great remake too. When will humans ever learn?
If he came today he'd ask wtf is wrong with you people!
I love this movie and always will
In the book that Harry Bates wrote, "Farewell to the Master", the name of the robot was Gnut, and he was the Master; the ship was ovoid. This video did change a lot of things. At the very end of the book, it's written: «You misunderstand. I am the master».
I think taking his helmet off first would have helped with the fear reaction to see he looked human and they were not facing some kind of monster. Humans are so easily frightened. Haven’t they been watching our tv emissions all these years? Best & wisest movie ever made.
(And yes, I’d be that young girl with the camera! Lol)
there are no advanced civilisations close enough to monitor the shell of radio waves that have been emanating from this planet for the last 100 years or so, and our signals get weaker the further out in space that they go. Radio searches have found no traces of alien signals and we have been searching for decades. If they do exist, they will be too far away for us to detect them.
If they saw his face he could not have passed as Mr. Carpenter. His face would have been plastered on the front pages.
I love the Louver doors in the ship! LOL
There is a clip where Michael Rennie’s character says of Abraham Lincoln “those were great words.” That was the view in 1951 but not apparently in the 2020’s when for some reason those great words have become anathema to some.
It comes with peace and good will, don’t let it get away! Break its legs!
Met with deadly aggression instead of peaceful meeting. Primitive, violent response to the unknown instead of curiosity and awe.
I have *_zero_* intentions of watching the modern version of this movie, I can't imagine it being better than the original. Also, I really hope they don't remake Forbidden Planet.
I was exposed to that one first since I was pretty young when it came out. I'm glad my history teacher showed me this.
beautiful, seen on tape, many, but many years ago.
this movie is SO much better than the remake.
I agree. The black and white makes it all eerie
Funny. In the 1950s version of The War of the Worlds, humans actually greet the aliens peacefully, only to be disintegrated.
I was very young the first time I watched it
I still think it’s a great movie plus it brings back memories form when I was young
Have been watching this and Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956...
Invasion of the Body Snatchers . Yet another great movie from that era. Remade too. Wasn't Leanord Nemoah in that one. Remember fiend without a face? Creepy.
Beautiful effects
Classic masterpiece
You knew that when Gort appeared, all hell was about happen.
I love it this timeless classic. I never knew it but I read recently that the lead role was originally cast to my favourite actor of all time, Mr Claude Rains, but he declined it due to a prior engagement. It went to Michael Rennie, who did a fantastic job but Rains's voice would have made this movie even more memorable, in my opinion.
I think physically Rennie is a superb choice ,his tall slim stature is just right in my humble opinion and as for Gort,well what can I say about him, just perfect. His lack of any features just makes him so threatening !
Rennie was perfect. I wonder if his character inspired the creation of Mr. Spock.
His very slight accent made him seem a little more unworldy.
The greatest movie ever greatest robot ever greatest saucer ever greatest weapon ever!!!
IN THE MODERN VERSION Hollywood cut off the Speech about violence at the end, the most beneficial part of the movie for the human race.
There's reinterpretation and then there's missing the point, which the remake absolutely did.
Why
@@Zincwya reboot stupidity.
@@horaciosi I also hate how 2008 Gort is just an output for dated generic special effects whereas 1951 Gort was efficient, subtle and does exactly what he needs to prove he is an infinitely superior weapon to the guns and tanks, vaporizing them and leaving the soldiers helpless but unharmed.
Love these classic films😊
as a kid it was on tv when that robot came on i ran out of the room screaming b w made it so scary and the music
I love how nobody labelled them as an "Alien" for being an outsider creature from the earth in any sci-fi film at the time. I bet Alien wasn't a famous term, until the movie, "Alien", came out in 1979
Nintendo Space Aliens...
Visiting from thousands of light years away , & speaks perfect English :(
Imagine if he took off his helmet and he was Black. As soon as he reached into his shirt he would have been shot and killed and that robot would have destroyed the planet.
I think we need something like this to happen so people will wake up and see a much larger picture.
"We have come to visit you in peace, and with good will.....and to threaten your warring asses to grow up."
I always thought the famous line was "i come in peace"
This is better than the crappy 21st century remake.
Definitely right, @notsogentleboi. who knew no one watches b&w movies anymore?
I watch the 1966 Batman all the flipping time.
*even though it might be weird to watch in 2119 from the year the first colored batman show came out over 2 centuries ago from 2119. LOL
2:02 The two soldiers took their pistols out, but they have their machine guns (?)
As a fan of this movie there is a flaw. Such technology could have sent a radio/tv type message prior to landing. To just land without any preamble like this could be interpreted as aggressive.
Is this where Daft Punk came from?
All the weapons and the crowd surges forward.
The civilians are advancing out of curiosity since the saucer is the focal point of this situation.
I love this kind of movie about UFO they don't make it any more even if they make it with high level technology yet it looks cheap
They remade this movie in the 90's.
@@danzervos7606. I wouldn't exactly call it a remake, that travesty of a movie just used the name!
Disagree, watch Arrival
1:41 we have come to visit you in peace and with good will
In other news today, 278 spectators viewing the spaceship were killed in crossfire when the military surrounding opened fire on it..
It’s not Mr. Klaatu, just call me Klaatu. Great line haha
if you had been Klaatu, would you come out of your space ship, see about 500 army guys all pointing guns at you, then walk right up to them and hold that metal gizmo up and push a button, causing the gizmo to suddenly SPRING OPEN?...He might as well have just hung a sign around his neck that said "please SHOOT ME"......I mean, what did he EXPECT would happen?......the right thing to do would be to say "i come in peace...this is a gift from my planet to yours"....THEN walk up to them and give it to them...
You're absolutely right. He also emerged wearing a helmet that made him look extremely menacing. That was unnecessary since he could breathe earth's atmosphere. Furthermore, he arrives on our doorstep un-announced and un-invited and we're just supposed to take his word that he "comes in peace." For all we know, he could have been a fugitive from an advanced culture intent on conquering earth like Commander Xavier in "Galactica 1980" or the Visitors from "V."
HA HA HA!!!....Its funny how all those old movies have tons of holes in them, but when they came out, nobody really noticed them....I'm currently watching the old Universal Monster horror movies and man, every 5 minutes something hokey happens.....LOL...Frankenstein is actually comical now.....
Hmmm, I'm not sure that's the point the writers were trying to make and why it nearly never surfaced. It showed how quick we are to jump to the wrong conclusion that something unknown is 'a weapon'. I'm not saying these movies are perfect. An example is why were they going to the professors house to be safe when in fact the professor was already at the ship along with all the other dignitaries? Probably has something to with the editing too.
You are probably right about the writers' intentions. Regardless of that though, you have to admit, what Klaatu did was stupid. He comes from an advanced civilization, totally unknown to the Earthlings. He comes walking out of his space ship, has a hundred military guys with guns trained on him, and he is too naive to notice?....he just walked right up to them and shoved that gizmo into their face without saying a word. Even if he had taken his helmet off to show the Earthlings that he looked just like them, that might have helped SOME....He just asked for what he got.....I find it hard to believe that a man from an advanced civilization didn't even anticipate the possibility of hostile reactions from the Earthlings. I guess Klaatu never watched the countless movies that we have where stupid humans always rush to VIOLENCE as the first reaction to anything they don't understand....hahahahah
The thing about these old movies is, when they came out, either i wasn't born yet or i was just a kid. When you are a kid, you don't try to reason everything out....it just looks cool and you love it....when you grow up and watch them again, you ruin it for yourself by noticing stuff in them don't make much sense....
Love this movie thanks so much for it
Human mentality . . . looking for intelligent life on other planets and then when an alien life form presents itself our first instinct is to blow it up instead of communicate
I'm of the certainty that if there are indeed "aliens" out there with the technology to travel between galaxies, bet the farm they all agree on one thing:
Avoid planet earth completely. Yes, it is inhabited but regrettably, not with intelligent life. Stay away!
Let's visit a planet in the midst of military conflicts and fear of global war, and where they never have seen an Alien before. Also don't contact them before you do.
Keep your suit on for no reason so that you look strange and that they cant see your face, and if they are armed then point at them with something that could be a weapon...
What could possibly go wrong?
That worked out well in Independence Day
A circular crowd with machine guns aiming towards the middle. Ahh! What military tactics.
The scene where the people run away looks choppy. What caused this was the director thought the didn't run fast enough so he had every other frame cut out.
The Special Effects and The Gort Robot and Ship Sequences are Way Before Their Time, The Day The Earth Stood Still, No Power, World Wide for One Hour
1951: Alien; "We come in peace!
Humans; Shoot him!
Also humans; Hang heads in shame....
1996: Alien park huge space ship over New York City.
Humans dance on roof of skyscraper "Welcome to Earth, aliens!"
Aliens; Vaporize all humans!
Geez...We never seem to get it right, do we?
Alien:"we come in peace ✌! "
Armies:"peace?.... That alien is INSANE!!! Shoot it boys! "
1951 to today: Americans still kill first world-wide.

1:01 I just KNEW little Johnny would want to get a look.
Hope it’s worth watching,about to watch it online.Especially at a time when there are so many ufo sightings.
Goodnight, Vienna.
like how close ppl get
I hope we don't actually respond in this manner when they do reveal themselves. Especially when the alien says , we have come in peace and good will...
with a book..."To Serve Man".
Independence Day showed us how "peaceful" they are 👾🛸
I used part of this in a sort of rock video I made for Wed nite Bible study! TH-cam didn't like my use of movie clips very much (you and hundreds more have done it and didn't get blocked), but I petitioned. This made for great discussion as a "Christ allegory." How the filmmakers thought it was subliminal confounds me. Ha! Much appreciation. ---Bert
I like how his face is just photoshopped into the helmet
We have come in person so you know without doubt the message we bring to you is real. Your frailty of mind we understand. No weapons will be allowed outside of your planet. We mean you no harm. But you now must know all life outside your planet is protected. Your desire to explore space is welcomed. You primates have now reached a point of concern for other living creatures outside of your planet. You are welcomed to continue your exploration. But remember you are being watched. If you harm other life forms outside of your planet we will deny future exploration until you have evolved further... Peaceful coexistence and respect are the ruling for all living creatures outside of their
World!!!
My favorite movie. Just a minute ladies and gentlemen I think something is happening 🛸
Good flick
1:57 Uh, guys, you have a _tank._ The pistols are kind of a downgrade. There are plenty of other guys who have small arms pretty well covered.
Tip, if you're talking to jumpy people with guns - don't pull out a device that makes a sudden movement looks like a weapon. You'd think a race that's prime objective is to prevent aggression would know that.
Klaatu comes in Peace, I came for the comments, lol...
Eccoli, guardate in cielo, arrivano !
Translation: Here they come, watch the sky.
Great capture my friend.
guys manning a tank, backed up by 500 mates with rifles & machine guns, pull their side arms! HAHAHA
Bad when alien movies weren't ruined by Hollywood.
Perfect circle of friendly fire
Alien: _Where's Walmart?_
If a flying saucer landed in Washington DC now it would have crushed a couple of homeless people asleep in the park.
One of the greatest sci-fi movies of all times. Imagine how this movie amazed a kid when it came out. What's funny...they allow all the civilians to surround the spacecraft that is also surrounded by armed military. What happens when the shooting starts? :-))
the crowd whips out their concealed AR-15's and opens fire...that way nobody will be left standing except Klaatu ... the Army won't kill him that would mean there wouldn't be an enemy to get more congressional funding to fight the murderous aliens...the people would just start shooting in panic mode
" We come in Peace" ........ yea Sure.
Michael Rennie was ill.
such a classic!!! The remake was shit!!
+ConcreteSurfer420 The film makers try to be too clever, an exact script remake simply set in today's world, would have been awesome, just imagine M1 tanks, snipers and Apache helicopters surrounding the saucer and a slightly updated Gort. AND use slightly updated original music!
Yeah Tom Cruise is SHIT
Not for the first 20 minutes, it wasn't.
oh yeah thats right...sorry, my bad...tom cruise still is shit...then i don't guess they have ever remade The Day The Earth Stood Still, right?
ConcreteSurfer420 all remakes are shit
Except for ducktales
ahh humanity. the only intelligent species in the universe who would pull a gun after somebody says they come in peace
