CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Klaatu (Michael Rennie) leaves a final challenge and leaves Earth in his flying saucer.
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.

Michael Rennie's speech delivery is perfect and timeless. No profanity, no yelling or shouting....just a truthful and calm delivery of the state of affairs and its consequences if people continue on their current course. The ultimate "mic drop".
Is mic dropping considered aggression?
Many of us see man destroying ourselves but nobody does anything but make it worse and with more destructive weapons. The planet is being radiated to death now. Wait I know let's try radiated COVID 😢😢😢😢😭😭🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@RennieAshit’s considered an ultimatum.
this was my movie as a kid...no crazy alien explosions or fighting space ships..he came and just dropped the mic...
Wow how old are you
Dropped the mic....i like it. Has a Family Guy feel about it.
“He came and just dropped the mic”. Phrasing.
What mic? it was an artifact, a gift for the president
ДЕНЬ когда земля остановилась 1951 старый фильм лучше чем современый
I still get misty at 0:48 when Michael Rennie turns and extends his hand towards Patricia Neal, especially as accompanied by the music. It's a brief, but perfect, moment to end the film on. How brave, caring and selfless her character was. She saved the human race.
yes, and he didn't smile at her too much or too big, just the slightest look of affection.
It's such a wonderful cinematic moment. Affection and respect between then both. I choke up watching this...
Beautiful acting. Heartfelt and inspiring.
👌 Good point.
If remade, the woman would be screaming and an anarchist. Just the facts.
We do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works!! BEAUTIFUL.
It's called Skynet.
Margaret Radtke
Says who?
"Your choice is simple. Join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration"
Ya, that sounds REAL peaceful buddy
@@jkjk701 "I will tell you what peaceful is" or else !!!
@@jkjk701 they were told, they have their freedom but the second their violence overreaches and extends to another civ they get wiped out, that sounds super fair, idk what u do in your home but you come into my home and attack my family? it's over
I pulled out my DVD of this film a couple weeks ago. It amazed me how relevant it is to the modern world. Robert Wise made a timeless film.
It's still relevant because Human nature never changes.
One if we are Capable we could learn from if Capable we could learn from
Watch it once a year.
A man comes from above with strange powers and a message of peace. He is killed but somehow revived. He gives his message again - a choice for mankind. He then ascends to the heavens.
And his second coming would mean the final judgement of humanity and the end of the world.
...and, he assumes the name "Carpenter." Just a coincidence, I'm sure!
It's a great 'what if' movie, intelligently made.
A lot of parallels to Christ. E.T. did as well!
Well noted. Absolutely, a parallel to the tale of the Christ from beginning to end. Miraculous arrival. Rejection. Working of miracles and defiance of authority, with direct appeal to the People. All the things you pointed out, as well.
This movie is timeless. It awed and impressed me decades ago as a kid, and its message to pursue peace instead of war made me hope our earth had a future. The film still has relevance today and, for its time, the special effects, costumes and set pieces were convincing.
Greatest Sci Fi film ever made. Most transcendent story line. Cinematography made full use of the viewers' imaginations and appealed to emotion and the power of the mind at the same time. Note in this scene, after Klaatu's pronouncement, the cuts to the various people in the audience--cut--cut--cut--all in absolute silence. A Masterpiece of the highest order.
Still the greatest science fiction film of all time.
Brooklyn Avenue
Message to humanity disguised as a sci-fi movie.
Depends on whether I'm watching Forbidden Planet or this movie... whichever is on at the moment is the greatest! I have both on DVD... got tired of watching the hacked up movies when they would have them on Tv.
@@tubedude54 Yes, I think Forbidden Planet and this movie stand out as the clear classics of early science fiction.
I remember it totally. 1951. We need Gort now
ON A SCALE OF 0-10 its a 12 MICHAEL RENNIE---SUPERB
You know a film is timeless when you cannot conceive of anyone other than Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal in their respective roles.
this movie is a gift of genius acting,its as modern as tomorrow
Couldn't agree more
And the late great Sam Jaffe and Hugh Marlowe were sensational actors!!!!!
Classic Sci Fi, a superb film from beginning to end, the remake isn't a patch on the original.
In comparison to what came later especially when Star Wars made everyone spend money on toys and other cosmetic items this film did sci fi brilliantly in a manner that was both entertaining and serious at the same time reminding ourselves of the flaws that have plagued humanity since it's the start of it's existence and warning about the cost of violence and resources crucial to preserving peace.
I actually like the remake, and Keanu Reeves is brilliant. His acting is like Rennie's, quiet and charming.
That remake was a pathetic abomination. The WORST movie ever made!!@@russellthompson9271
The 1951 version of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" is the best, and the review was excellent.
He awaits our action, not our words... If only modern movies showed this
The sound effects are awesome in this movie.
PointyTailofSatan i
When Gort's visor retracts, for 1951 that's an awesome moment
The only effect in this movie that doesn't really stand the test of time is Gort's rather unfortunate costume. But for a 1951 movie... that's saying a lot.
A therimin was used to get the eerie sounds in Bernard Herrman's score.
@@vickyneale5216What has the pointy tail of Satan have to do with a classic film with religious overtones ? Go back to your pulpit.
Favorite science fiction movie. All around meaningful and thought-provoking dialogue.
The day the Earth stood still from 1951 directed by Robert Wise.. starring Michael Rennie Patricia Neal science fiction masterpiece still spellbinding suspenseful and spectacular.. a cinema classic
Sutil, stylish, slow paced, serene and mysterious movie, in an era of gore, and bizarre excess Sci fi. Way above the rest.
Michael Rennie was PERFECT.
Yes he had a presence about him
@@handsome-brute2666 Rennie uses several acting tricks to give the impression of being subtly alien. His movements are very deliberate, like he consciously thinks about them. He stands too close to people he's talking to, and always looks them in the eyes, never looking away. When he walks or runs he barely swings his arms. His manner is usually warm and mild, but people are visibly uncomfortable around him because his body language is just... wrong.
R,I,P, MICHAEL RENNIE. THE VERY BEST " ALIEN" EVER !! SUPER MOVIE " THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL!!! FROM (2021).
Aside from ridiculously leaving out the final few vital seconds, you certainly don't get acting of this calibre these days. Michael Rennie was brilliant.
This movie was a big influence on Close Encounters down to the ship surrounded by an audience and the final hand gesture of friendship before the ship departs.
Rodgers and Hammerstein summed up the essence of Klaatu's message in a lyric from the song "A Puzzlement" in "The King and I". King Mongkut is ruminating on the many difficulties and challenges of being a monarch:
"Is a danger to be trusting one another.
One will seldom want to do what other wishes.
But unless someday somebody trusts somebody,
There'll be nothing left on Earth excepting fishes."
Greatest science fiction ever made..
I don't know how James Cameron allowed this to be remade..
Rst28- Cameron is an asshole.
I will assume you met him personally...
What did Cameron have to do with it?
@@ariochiv He's confused, (i think) with Cameron making of Terminator 1984 which was plagiarized from a sci-fi writer who wrote a story with the same premise for the Outer Limits of the 1960s. Cameron got sued and the writer got film credit for influenzing Terminator.
Then Cameron made Avatar which borrowed some of the look of the movie from a French/North Korean! animated movie called Light Years or Gandahar- Men of Metal.
Hence the dismay by the above comment.
Gawd, that remake was awful! You couldn't even follow the plot it was so disjointed.
The facial expressions alone,,,are worth there weight in gold,,,Where are any actors who could accomplish this M,O, of performance today,,,All gone,,, Where's Hollywood,,,??
Watch Twilight Zone & Outer Limits among others, the acting was mostly done by subtle facial expressions that pretty much told you everything about the character, now it's just a bunch of pretty people with blank faces, IT IS really BORING!
Priceless memories and thanks for sharing.
70 years later, and it's STILL my favourite movie ❤️
Hard to believe it was made at the height of McCarthyism
Written by Edmond North. Original working title was when the world stopped. A meeting of producers and Edmond decided, The Dat the Earth Stood
Still." The language came as Edmond was a poor student of Latin yet he passed this street in Burbank going to the studio every morning called Klatue Street. It is still there. So he mixed the language with Latin. In Latin, Biringa meant to leave or depart.
Nice effects for 1951...and Nice message too...
You mean that a movie shouldn't be like for its effects but for the story it tells you?
A masterpiece (which should never have been remade: how could one ever contemplate remaking Casablanca for example?)! This remarkable film is of course ‘a messianic message’ and all the rest of it which other commentators have observed. But what is most interesting about ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ is the fact that the US security forces, namely the US Air Force, the DIA, and the CIA, were involved in its scripting and production…
“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci
What does that mean? It seems to me that people usually ONLY hate when they don't understand.
I don't understand that. 🤔
The shape of the ship and even the music score reminds me of another sci-fi masterpiece, "Forbidden Planet" (1956).
The two excellent science fiction movies, in an era when science fiction was B-movie fare at best.
Forbidden Planet was great too loved Walter Pigeon , I hope they never make a remake of this either, another awful remake was the Time Machine the remake did not have the atmosphere or charm of the original it’s an Edwardian story and should be set and told in that era. Why can’t modern movie makers see this? Oh wait I know why because now they can CGI all the special effects but that doesn’t mean it’s going to better than the original we have seen this time and time again.
@@heidiclark190 Forbidden Planet had Ann Francis. Enuf said! As for a remake, check out the Wikipedia article.
A theramin was used for the eerie sounds of Bernard Herrman's score. Great musical effect..It was used in later Sci-fi films as well but it awed the audience first in this movie.
I love how he just fires up the drives without any warning to the people standing a few feet away. Classic.
Yeah, it's like their way of saying F-u have a good discussion.
All those people probably died in a couple of days from radiation exposure. No time to relay Klaatu's message to all the countries. Dumb move, Klaatu.
@@slaughterhouse5585 That's assuming this ship's propulsion is so crude as to spew hard radiation.
No one in the film mentions nuclear power and I'm sure Klatuu's planet had advanced far beyond nuclear power..When the scientist asks : "Such power exists?". Klatuu answered: ,"I' assure you it does. " Reducing the Earth to the size of a cinder would take more than nuclear power not to mention the means to amass that much.
@@wesleycook7687 Klaatu specifically says, when asked by Bobby about what makes his ship go, "A highly developed form of atomic power, I should imagine."
Best film ever, who else agrees with me?
I agree with you, Phil Boardman. The 1951 Version of "The Day, etc." was the best one ever made.
M Mansky certainly was, the production cost wasn’t massive, considering Gort was guy who was working in a hotel but he was tallest person around, the suit was made out of rubber painted silver. Brilliant
Not the best film ever but a classic. In Sci-Fi,it ranks near the top . It is neck and neck with Forbidden Planet .
M Mansky is it wrong that I regularly watch this maybe once or twice every two weeks? Such a simple film that I personally enjoy very much.
The music by Bernard Herrmann is really what makes this a classic. No music and this would have been a B-movie.
So many people seem to be missing the point of his statement, it was nothing to do with humanity making war on itself, as far as they are concerned we could obliterat ourselves, but if we were to try and go off our world and start a conflict with another planet we would be distroyed. Hence the robots were not political but peace keeping, do what you like in your own home, but take it outside and your toast
'There must be security for all, or no one is secure" ....Same for justice, justice must be universal or no one receives it!
Classic movie. Absolute classic. Haven't read the book on which it was based, " Farewell to the Master " . Probably should.
The book bears no resemblance to the movie.
Hard to find but worth the read.
Judging by the state of the USA right now, nobody paid any attention to Klaatu.....
"Join us and live in Peace," Makes sense I think,,great clip
And do what the robots tell you to do. Or else.
The choice rests with us. Somehow I have the feeling that we were given that very ultimatum some years ago. And that we have not lived up to the challenge. I wonder how much longer it will be before we pay the price for that failure.
Ellison Hamilton Don't worry. We have Chuck Norris.
Forever. For our design was faulty by an evil God.
I saw the movie in 1951, The US hasn't understood Klaatu's warning and choses to ignore it
The world hasn't
thank you @@rhocat362
It's a perfect ending to a fantastic film. The wordless exchange between Patricia Neal and Michael Rennie is poignant.
"...Join us and live in peace...the choice is yours, solely depends on yours..." The Great Shift of Ascension is approaching, the choice is solely depends on you and you alone, nobody else!
This speech is as true today as it was 45 years ago, nothing has changed. The warmongers still want war. Every child should have these words on the wall of his bedroom, and every warmonger for that matter.
ohdingobongo, not 45 years the movie was in 1951, I know I watched IT. then
how come Gort did not return to blast us out when Nam' started? He had his chance but nope, guess he forgot all about us.
ThunderZandor He was too afraid to face Chuck Norris.
@@ThunderZandor ‘Nam?? The Korean War was going full throttle during this movie. Funny, no mention of it whatsoever the entire show. But then, we KNOW who’s hands were involved with the script, do we not?? Only 4 years after Roswell?? GiddyUp TZ…🤙
One of my favorite movies.
What I love about this movie is how at the nighttime scene everyone goes home and leaves two schmuck soldiers with a jeep to guard the ship! These were the kind of movies that I saw in the drive in and everyone was busy making out and not watching the movie…
When Klaatu orders Gort into the spaceship, he should have replied "Yes Bawss" lol
I think by that, Klaatu meant for Gort to bring the girl, but by then Gort has just had enough of it all and just wants to go home.
But, the unanswered Q posed by the ending is: "WHO is the 'boss?" The aliens have ceded final authority to the automatons, lest humanoid irrationality and emotions lead to war.
Requests really... Gort was in charge. He was actually 'the master of Klaatu'. Read: 'Farewell to the Master' by Harry Bates....
Gort was the boss.
@@ariochiv No. Tony Danza's the boss.
"Continue on your present course, and face obliteration . . . possibly by your own hands."
Absolute classic
This movie, among others, about moral messages, aspects to think about how we live, largely forgotten.
Not forgotten by the annointed!
The greatest 2:30 in science fiction movie history!
This film and especially Gort are pure magic! I loved it I when I first saw this as a small boy in the 60s and love it more even now at the age of 68! A wonderful message of peace and non-violence🙏🏻
Not gonna lie, 50’s cgi is actually pretty awesome
CGI did not exist till the late 1970s,early 1980s.Vacuum tubes and punch cards just wouldn't cut it.
@@PC4USE1 Actually CGI didn't come into practical use until the 1990s when Jurrasic Park was released but back in the 1950s models and real special effects were used instead.
@@CrossOfBayonne Star Wars started the first use of CGI but it was very expensive
BEST MOVIE EVER
Love this film and this Scene!
FYI: That bogus dialogue after Klaatu is revived about life after death being reserved to the "Almighty Spirit", was literally forced on Robert Wise by religious nutjob studio execs. Wise really wanted it to appear the result of simple extremely advanced science.
There would have been an outcry from every pulpit in the land of the free if they hadn't done that. Not only that, a case could be made that without the god reference the scene violated the Hollywood Production Code .
One of the most influential films in cinema
Michael Rennie was ill The Day the Earth Stood Still and he told us where we stand...
Nathan Thompson 😂😂😂
0:17 "The decision rests with you." Yeah, and our decision was more violence, more war. more injustice, more craziness and more of everything awful.
I wonder if things would have turned out differently if Klaatu had actually come to our real Earth?
Knowing humans, no
Yes she loves him. Hey this story reminds me of those old, Marvel Atlas Golden age comics 10 cents. Love this film. In the book, Klaatu was the Robot, and Gort was the Spaceman.
Great Speech ever
Klaatu : " I am impatient with stupidity, my people learned to live without it"
Secretary : "I am afraid, my people have not, I am very sorry, I am sure it was otherwise" well Ofcourse Lol
A great movie to teach what really matters for our existance.. its the outsider who we scare of, may have to come to point out to all the idiots in this planet who cant see it obviously.. and we sure need this now more than ever.
BEST movie and MESSAGE EVER. This is the ONLY way World PEACE will be achieved
Poor Lock Martin. He was overheating in the Gort suit, and it was making his left arm twitch.
Better than the remake.
Did anyone notice that Gort's destructo beam was made by ACME? He really should have had a broom stuck to his helmet!
One of the best sci-fi films ever.
Great movie
My way or the space highway.
Wow.. 69 years AGO this CLASSIC made it's debut on the Big Screen.... Given the STATE of Global Affairs TODAY this MESSAGE RESONATES with Uncanny Accuracy more than EVER.... :{
We're going for option two - don't bother coming back Klaatu, we can manage it ourselves - save you a long trip
Which means they'll probably run into Gort or one of his brothers again one day, and that won't be pretty.
Before E.T.: The Extraterrestrial,
before Close Encounters Of The Third Kind,
before 2001: A Space Odyssey,
this is the movie that started it all.
Happy 70th Anniversary to The Day The Earth Stood Still. 🙂🤝👽
We're still waiting for an answer, humans.
Ghalaghor McAllistor Our answer is.......Chuck Norris. 😳
Soon to occur, watch the skies!
1951 : The handsome alien gave a speech about uniting the nations and preventing war. His bodyguard robot and himself flew away from the earth in flying saucer, leaving Washington D.C. without destroying it.
2008 : The bodyguard robot went rogue and turn into a horde of infectious locusts and wrecking havoc. The alien had no choice to stop the robot and leaving the earth with almost entire New York in ruins.
I know that 2008 version was cool because they casted Keanu Reeves as Klaatu. But come on, no one can get close to Michael Rennie's goosebump speech in the original.
I purposely didn't see the 2008 one. You make me glad I didn't.
A travesty
I have that movie & it won a academy award in 1951
Patricia Neal's character probably was questioned by the government.
Patricia Neal - wonderful!
I love how the movie shows people of different faith, color, and ethnicity immediately after giving humans the choice. It really drives home the point.
Best wake up humans.
...and what Mr Rennie said all those years ago still applies even today...we could learn much from TDESS...
Michael Rennie was ill
the day the Earth stood still
And he told us
where we stand. :)
And he did. We need this message again today. We'll continue to need it, until we understand it, just as a student has to repeat the course when they fail it.
And Flash Gordon was there.........
"The Day the Earth Stood Still." 1951, 2008. Repeatedly shown on British Television. H20
Love this movie!
Far, far, far better than the remake. What a mess that was.
this is my favorite movie
Ever since I first had the privilege of watching this movie I always thought that with all the conflicts in this world in which we live, that we were being watched by a higher intelligence than ours, and I sometimes do wish that this higher intelligence would come and visit us to set the record straight. And give us this very same ultimatum!! Because with what has been going on on our beautiful planet is becoming irrevocable beyond belief!! We really need something like this to make us wake up and reset the the clock, humanity surely cannot continue down this path of Death and destruction of the innocent lives women and children and families.
2 weeks later....nobody would remember what ever happened and why.
Gort get the hello in the hubcap we gotta get this thing a winging!
They need to update these space ships ... This one is so old and it has a bad molecular electrophasic graviton regenerator ...it's making so much noise
LOL I literally laughed out loud, that is clever!
A masterpiece (which should never have been remade: how could one ever contemplate remaking Casablanca for example?). This remarkable film is of course ‘a messianic message’ and all the rest of it which others have observed. But what is most interesting about The Day The Earth Stood Still was the involvement of the US security forces, namely the US Air Force, the DIA, and... the CIA, in its scripting and production.
Which is ironic, since in the movie, after Klaatu demonstrated his people could shut down every electrical device on Earth, while selectively excluding anything that could hurt someone by being shut off, the military were even more dead-set on capturing or killing him. They completely missed the point.
At what time in earth's entire history has the threat of total destruction against a nation or people produced genuine peace?
Victor Wilson Japan after Hiroshima & Nagasaki
Message to humanity disguised as a sci-fi movie.
That's what the best sci-fi does. It uses the "what if..." scenario to explore and comment on the human condition.
Movieclips, Klaatu, it is time to come back and say it again. but not to Washington, rather a neutral spot.
"You will join us or die!" -Darth Vader, probably
Some forward-thinking person stopped and thought, "He's talking to all of humanity, right? Maybe there should be a wider representation of humanity when he makes his last speech."
Such a great movie thanks so much for it
Love this movie
We sure use this guy now. First stop Chicago.
Klattu's spaceship looks like it uses some type of electromagnetic anti-gravity.
It probably uses something we haven't even imagined yet.
Bingo
I thought it used millions of carbon dioxide bubbles to life off.
I truly wish it was this simple and easy 🤗🥰😘🖖🏼✌🏻!
Live long and prosper 🖖🏼!
I truly believe that this film was a test to see the begin to change the public's attitude towards ET's and to humanize relations with other countries and races on this planet. At that time were were on a course of self-destruction, culminating in October of 1962. Kennedy sought peace with the Soviets, and a year later he was dead. The following decade was one of social and cultural upheaval, and America was never the same; nor was the world.
Thanks a lot to Vietnam & the Beetles & much later on Madonna.
The 1960s was when things really changed for better or worse since there would be unrest happening worldwide and this film warnt us early about what was to come in the future if we didn't change our behavior.
“Gort, Bazinga.”
