- CAMEO APPEARANCES -- Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Chris Tucker, Ice Cube, Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and Bruce Campbell.
ROCK SONGS INCLUDE -- Jesus Christ Superstar, Mr. Roboto, Space Oddity, Jailbreak, Riders On the Storm, Enter Sandman, Show Me How to Live. This classic sci-fi film is my favorite allegory of modern evangelicalism's twisted view of the Trinity.
PANEL ANALYSIS of this rockin' video: • Klaatu Project Raucous...
Scripturally speaking, Jesus sacrificially saved humanity from sin. Klaatu, on the other hand saved humanity from Gort (God) with a password: Klaatu birada nikto (the "sinner's prayer"?) His was not a rescue mission. It was an ultimatum. It was a threat of fire from a race of robots given Godlike power to burn those who attempt armed aggression. Stopping armed aggression seems a good thing. But how can wiping out a planets give Klaatu the moral high ground? If a man murders, would it be just to execute his family, too? This removes individual accountability. Does having the power to obliterate a planet give one the right to dictate under threat of annihilation what is acceptable behavior? This is the imposition of a vast superpower upon a helpless population. Will earth people accept having new overlords who force them to disarm?
* Is Klaatu the impressively dignified emissary he presents himself to be, or an alien supremacist?
* Is Klaatu a tolerant ambassador or humanity's new master?
* Is his message one of peace and good will or of threat of annihilation?
* Does he represent an advanced democracy or a radical police state?
* Is his talk of freedom real or propaganda to veil a coup d'état?
A strange Christ figure, Klaatu shows no tender feelings, no compassion or tears, no empathy or concern, and no interest in personal relationships or providing humans with assistance. He cruelly speaks of blowing up New York and wiping out life on earth with no twinge of conscience or remorse. Klaatu shows us a judgmental, exasperated, annoyed, smug, remote threatener, not a savior. He’s a lawgiving overlord with a genocidal robot (the God character) whom he created but can't always control. Comically, Klaatu the "messiah" even litters on the street and lies to a child about his need for a flashlight.
In perhaps the strangest plot hole in the film, Klaatu gives Professor Barnhart the formula for the development of the very technology (celestial mechanics) which moments later he warns will put the planet in "grave danger".
A Christ figure at first glance, perhaps, Klaatu reveals himself as a kind of antichrist. He sells his mission of ultimatum as a mission to save, which makes this "Christ's" theology not one of grace, but of decision. To save ourselves we are told we have to "make a decision for Klaatu." I don't buy decisional salvation or a theology of threat and fear. To Klaatu I do not say, “Yes, sir and No, sir." I don't care to repeat, "Klaatu barada nikto," either. To Klaatu and all smiling, extorting thugs, I say, "Give me liberty or give me death." I'd rather die free than to be a slave of intergalactic automatons of mass destruction on every street corner.

I have watched this film many times over the years and I never get tired of watching. The simplicity of the movie is overwhelming and the acting by everyone was superb. So much to take away from this film. If I were a teacher I would force my students to watch it.
I made the video for my Wed. nite Bible study. So I am a teacher. I didn't force them to watch it, exactly! But I played it for them to discuss on FB Livestream and Zoom. You might be surprised what the participants and I "take away from the film." Link: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html
This is Marxism, Communism and Socialism. The world has become so brainwashed that people don't even recognize it, when it is starting them in the face.
@thomaswayneward , Interesting. Perhaps it's not a coincidence that the philosophy of the evil trinity (gort, klatu, flying saucer) should resemble Marxist/socialist/communist philosophy--the philosophy responsible for more evil than facism.
I saw this movie 60 years ago. I absolutely love this rendition, especially the soundtrack.
@Cinema Ipswich Thank you.
This is a pretty fresh take on one of the great sf movies. Good choice of scenes, and the music selections are hilarious. Can't wait to see your next work.
Thank you @emitindustries8304
I am 70 and I really enjoyed this. The way you related the story and actors to the story of Jesus was amazing; I would have never noticed that. This movie is one of the very top classic sci-fi movies of all time; and for the 1950's, it was so very far ahead of it's time. This one...Forbidden Planet...War of the Worlds...at the top of the very best of the 50's.
I had never heard these other renditions of Major Tong and Riders On the Storm; also classic songs and not to be casually messed with, but I also really liked these versions.
See...even an "old dog" like me can like new stuff...LOL..!!
Well done, bert gary....!!!!
@marbleman52 - Thank you so much. I'm 63, so I guess I get to be the whippersnapper. I think our panel discussion of this will interest you. So will the description notes: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html
We at GFC thank you very much for your contribution
This a most fantastic, entertaining, and Biblical compilation !
I saw this movie decades ago, so I did not know Scripture, but I was floored when she asked him if they had the power of life, and he said, that is from the 'All mighty Spirit' ....
Great works, God Bless you and yours.
Peter, It might interest you to know: “In the original script, . . . Klaatu explains to the astonished onlooker [Helen] that ‘Yes, this is the future power of science and technology,’ but the Motion Picture Association of America’s censor for the film, Joseph Breen, determined that this was unacceptable and forced the producer to add the line ‘that power is reserved to the Almighty Spirit.’”
One of the best of the 50 s science fiction movies
Why?
I first watched this great movie in 1962 we had just visited the Space Needle at the Seattle World fair the day before. My imagination was launched into the future..Klatuu Brarata Nikto ,Live long and Prosper, and May the Force be with all of Us in this difficult time in Our Planets Life!
@Cooper James - A wonderful memory and three top ten movie lines: nice. A comment about my vid would be nice, too.
The religious angle of this movie hit me years ago. Carpenter, saving the world, resurrection, all powerful. Maybe JC had a flying saucer, and a robot sidekick. That would have changed everything.
@emitindustries8304 I doubt that God the Son would trade in God the Father and God the Spirit for a killer robot and a flying saucer.
EXCELLENT MOVIE. seen it Several Times over the years.
Still my favorite movie.👍
I love this movie ever since I saw it as a kid
Philip, please share why. Thanks.
Very clever, one of my favorite movies. The religious overtones are apparent, a carpenter who raised from the dead to save humanity. You tastefully blended it in and inserted humor. Again, I say, VERY CLEVER.
You are most kind
I really dig some of tunes you have playing in the vid!
Thx
Send Gort to help the Ukrainians ! 🙂
Hey, Gerry. Bad situation in Ukraine. I personally dont trust Gort. Heck, Klaatu didn't trust Gort. Gort, the God character in this trinitarian allegory, might kill indiscriminately---Russians and Ukrainians. What if he decides to stop a street skirmish in Kiev by obliterating earth. Problem solved, right? LOL.
Touche.
@@bertgary5916 like using a sledgehammer to kill an ant ! 😳
Well Done, Thank You.
@catchaser52 Thanks. I appreciate your watching.
I hear "GORT DEGLAS OGRASKO " great job best movie ever .
The remaking is great, man.
The message is clear. We haven't followed it. Then, the celestial intervention is coming.
Mr. C, the "message" is a threat of annihilation. Intervention? Global incineration (and the threat of global incineration) doesn't sound like a temporary deployment to help. The intent to use robots of global destruction hardly gives Klaatu the moral high ground. To me, this looks like a silent coup. It's nice to have caring new neighbors. But the film's "Klaatus next door" are conscienceless world destroyers.
@@bertgary5916 ah ha
I went to the movies on my 7th birthday to see this movie because i could get in with just a dime and 6 RC cola bottle caps. Things were so much cheaper in 1957. But not wanting to stray too far from why I am making this post, the movie impressed on me an idea that had been building since I could get my hands on a comic book or get in to see movies like this or Forbidden Planet. Needless to say I have been able to say "KLAATU-BARADA-NIKTO" since that day.
Cool memory, @joehntr3. I was born in '58, so, no doubt I first saw it on TV. I didn't see the connection to modern evangelicalism's perverse trinity until the 80s or 90s, I guess. I created this video last year for my online, Wed. nite Bible study and panel discussion. That discussion is here: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html -- and I'd love to hear from you again. Much appreciation.
You will be spared from the five thousand lasers because we like you
Ok you adding a bunch of modern music
They ruined this when they put the music in it. Big time should have had the authentic music in it it was sufficient. I was going to share it with a lot of friends but forget it man..🤔 however the movie was fantastic and held up to the test of time. 👍
James, I don't know your age so I can't reply. If you're a teen, thanks for stopping by. If you're an adult, and if you want a reply, let me know, man.
@@bertgary5916
irrespective of your artistic choices, the excerpts from the movie
were what i really wanted to see. Thank you very much.
Your analogies were unexpected & appreciated. Plausibly, many
other people have presented the same, but i certainly didn't think
about them until now.
Understandably, you completed this trinity with the spaceship.
Quibblingly (wiktionary), the unseen e.t. civilization or some
"overmind" might be the "real/fictional father."
Wonder what logicians such as Kurt Godel (tragic ending)
might've thought of the task of programming robocops such
as Gort.
Despite my initial skepticism, this video was worth my time.
@2hcobda2 Thanks. Maybe the alien civilization(s) could be viewed as The Kingdom of Gort. :)
God bless Amen brother gary
I love you Bert Gary
*he caressed his cheek*
This was GREAT !! Funny and Funn !!
Thx
What a great picture to see in these times
Wilbert, please say more about that when you get a chance
What a fantastic camper...
Bert Gary - Job Well Done !!! Music tracks rock! Renditions I've not otherwise would have heard ! AMAZING. Your Hard Work Shows ... Bravo Bravo You hit it stone cold on the spot. Thanks Man
One more little tidbit of everlasting Joy in my life. I truly enjoyed this !!! Like a multi-dimensional time warp with a spin of WTF was that ? that was badass !
@johnmejia8836 You, sir, made my day.
Sci-fi movie gamechanger
The names were changed to protect the innocent.
Indeed, Arthur. The name Gort is a bit obvious. Helen Benson is interesting, in that it was Queen Helena who traveled to the holy land in the 4th century to identify Christian holy sites and build memorial chapel's. Regarding her last nane, Ben means "son of" in Hebrew, so Benson means son of the son. The Judas character's name is Thomas Stephens, bringing to mind both doubting Thomas and Stephen, the 1st Christian martyr. The Professor reminds me of Nicodemus, and Secretary Harley's name brings to mind Herod, who imprisoned John the Baptist as Harley imprisoned Klaatu at the hospital. Also, Klaatu's alias, John Carpenter, bears the initials JC. Do you see others?
Thanks, Paul.
@@bertgary5916 your observations are quite amazing. This story and movie could very easily be real in our opinion. A galactic police force would be needed to keep peace. We can't have a hostile race using the atom and disrupting another planet now can we?
@@arthurdrake3274 I need better sarcasm radar. I just can't tell sometimes.
Good grief, bert gary. Just take it as a delightful adventure to watch!
@aylarose1024 All universities have classes that analyze works of music, art, literature, theater, and filmmaking. I know you aren't suggesting all such classes be cancelled. Enjoying a work of art doesn't mean you can't also thoughtfully reflect on its meaning, does it?
As to your suggestion, Ayla, I appreciate it. And I can and I do enjoy the film as such. TDTESS is my favorite 50s sci fi film. It's great fun and well done. Yet, it is a documented fact that the filmmakers intended TDTESS as a "Christ allegory". It's true. I did my homework. As such, TDTESS is fair game for Christian theological/biblical analysis, dialogue, and debate.
Theology exists in contexts of human meaning and meaning making. Thus, I make videos from time to time specifically and exclusively for my church's Wed Nite Panel Zoom and Livestream discussions. I do so as pastor of Owl Rock UMC in Atlanta. My Klaatu Project video's popularity among thousands of TH-camr "strangers" is a surprise, albeit a welcome one.
FYI, none of my vids are monetized. They are there for free for all to see, and I welcome all viewers to like, dislike, or ignore them. Even though you seem not to have liked this one, I appreciate your viewing and your comment. Thumbs up!
If interested, our panel discussion of my Klaatu Project is here: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html
Loved it
Thanks, Deb!
Brilliant !!
You are too kind. But I'll take it!
"Join us & Live in Peace or; FACE TOTAL ANNIHILATION.." The STATE fixates? I don't think so!
The STATE DICATES? I DON'T THINK SO! TELL GORT to stick it; WHERE THE STARS DON'T "SHINE"
Neither do I.
Agreed.
Thank you Bert, that is all.
I not remember all this but it been 70 years
Yeah, it's been a few years. You might find the information in the description helpful
THE DECISION RESTS WITH YOU
@arthurjacobs4974 - Decisional salvation is a crock.
Five thousand lasers!
Friggin" Music Rocks !!
Do you know how many bad covers of those songs I had to listen to to find the good ones? Excruciating! Lol
Thank you.
I regard replacing the original Bernard Herrmann compositions with today's trash as unforgivable desecration of a brilliant cinematic work. If I'd heard "Klaatu Barada Nikto" repeated one more time I'd have upchucked! Once was enough for Gort but modern media seems to revel in monotony!
I meant no offense.The purpose of the video was to lampoon modern evangelism's desecration of the trinity. Appreciating lampoonings requires a sense of humor. Understanding the point of the video requires more than a 30-sec attention span.
So recut it to have the original theme music please ...the modern themes are not welcome. My opinion of course.
Understood.
I was of two minds at first. Realized Bert has created a version for those that can't stay still for 2 minutes.
@edward liquorish - My Wed nite Bible discussion panel is only one hour. It took 30 mins to introduce it and watch it, and then they discussed it for 30 mins: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html
She was so pretty in this movie.
I have the DVD and I’ve seen it maybe about 30 times! Awesome fin for his time!!! 👍
@Alberto A Franklin - You think it wise to trust Klaatu and Gort?
Well done!
Thank you.
Awesome movie. Dated campiness, but still a great movie. I'm one of the eleven people who even really enjoyed the remake with Keanu. Great video. Love the soundtrack. Great take on it with the Bible verses and humor.
But this one has a deeper message to o let us thinking of the nonsense determination of us to go directly to self destruction.
@Mr. Chinchilla: But in the film, it is not the humans who are determined to self destruct. It is an alien landing uninvited who threatens humans with imminent global incineration via his robot of mass destruction. What's the "deeper message" in that unconscionable threat? How did the Borg put it? "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."
@@bertgary5916 Whoa! Hawking isn't the only person who questioned the wisdom of attempting to contact any denizens of the ether. If they're anything like us, uh-oh! There is the argument that any species that has learned to traverse the vast empties of space would have little use for the negative traits which plague Earth humans. But I rather enjoyed L Ron Hubbard's take on that in 'Battlefield Earth' (the novel, not that god-awful movie, although that is enjoyable as a terrible movie that's so bad it's good), where the alien Psychlos intercepted Voyager 1, I think, whichever surveyed Saturn and shot on out of the system. We had provided a map for them to follow back, the Gold Record, and the metals and alloys in the probe indicated good mining on Earth! So, they drop drone ships in the atmosphere and flea-bomb the pesky vermin in the way on the surface. Yeah, us, exterminated.
Of course, talking Hollywood takes, that possibility has to be reviewed, but the reality we are facing indicates otherwise. Whatever species or multiple species have been buzzing "our planet" apparently have their own motives, and are in no hurry to explain. And anyone who doesn't believe that something is really occurring in our vicinity, well, must disagree. Too much in our sky, too much from our space probes, too much on our moon, and the stuff sighted around our sun is mind exploding. We are the infants, and maybe those things have always been there. Don't know, but doesn't change the fact that many highly accomplished people have seen these "things."
Our science and technology is infantile in comparison.
@WhiteBeard SkyDaddy - Forceful comment. Thanks for watching.
Your opinion appears to be that aliens have been buzzing earth for some time for unknown reasons. I use the word opinion because it has not been proven that the evidence (some of it produced by the US military) of what appears to be oddly shaped craft behaving oddly ARE alien craft. Nations and militaries (including ours) continue to investigate what these videos and radar images show, and what credible eyewitnesses are seeing. Called UFOs and now UAPs, the “U” still stands for unidentified.
One can believe UAPs are alien craft. One can have an opinion they are alien craft. But, for something to be factually proven, one needs incontrovertible evidence. Investigation-wise, these phenomena remain unidentified. Thus investigations continue.
My opinion: I think it's possible that some of these aerial phenomena are alien craft. It's also possible that none of them are. They could be unexplained natural phenomena. They could be optical illusions or equipment artifacts. They could be manmade craft. They could even be human time-traveling craft coming from the future to study earth’s past.
I agree with you that we have credible witnesses who have seen “things”, and we have electronic data that shows “things”. Right now, given the evidence I’ve read and seen, those “things” remain unexplained. Meanwhile, everyone is free to believe, speculate, argue, and opine about it. I wonder: when it comes to UAPs, how far away are we from the day when the unidentified become identified?
For me, the underlying question is: How hard is it for the universe (or multiverse) to produce life? How tough is the “life genesis filter”? Some count the many galaxies, stars, and planets and proclaim with certainty that the universe is teeming with life. This is an opinion. It may be true. But it also may be true that life is so hard to produce that it took an entire universe, or even an infinite number of multiverses, to produce life on one, and only one planet. I lean toward the latter. That’s my informed opinion based on the books, lectures, and online videos of Paul Davies, Brian Greene, Stephen Hawking, David Kipping and others. I could be wrong. I remain open.
@@bertgary5916 We are within 99.99% agreement, reserving .01% margin of error from writing down thoughts. Talking about Hollywood UFOs and aliens always brings me around to what's going on with that currently. Sorry. Very short explanation, I was with three friends back in 1985, we were house-sitting one's uncle's place. Waiting on him to open the door, I noticed this "thing", machine, craft, floating out of the neighbor's yard into his backyard. The other two saw my attention and noticed it and we were calmly watching it, but when other buddy raised up from the door and saw what we were fixated on he started to freak! (He was raised in a very fundamental Christian environment) Very close, less than thirty feet away. It was obviously a machine, like a wingless wedge shaped jet fighter, but jet black and no insignia and it was floating, very slowly. It destroyed our realities. But I have to admit that yes, Earth people may very well have built that thing. My guts say otherwise, but that doesn't make it so. The other part that adds doubt, we acted completely out of character afterwards. All we had to do was move a little to keep viewing the thing, but we looked at each other, went inside and sat down and started eating and watching some eighties movie. We never spoke of it, to each other or anyone else, and the fellow keying the door completely occluded the entire event from memory. I know because I asked him at our ten year school reunion, and again earlier this year. The other two remember, but like me they struggled with the recall for years.
All right, sorry about that man. Didn't really intend to go off into that, but it's only the most incredible thing I ever saw, and I've seen some amazing stuff. It's not like it's an uncommon story anymore though. The mundane everyday setting gave the whole thing a very surreal quality. You know, BAM! There it was. And WTF?! An understanding of others comes from such an experience, because what are everyday ordinary people supposed to do with such knowledge and memories? Like I said, shattered realities. Certainly changes perspectives of what is possible and impossible.
Yeah, I like movies too man. Lol
I love the take on this and the blend of music is exceptionable it makes it all the more enjoyable

Ok. I think. Do you expect an imminent global catastrophe? You don't have to answer that, Greg. This is not a trap. I'm really trying to understand.
I think we could do with a visit from Klaatu and Gort right now !
@theShowman - And from Stalin and Mao, too, I guess? You really want a visit from an alien threatening the incineration of the planet with a robot of mass destruction? BTW, just in cased you missed it, the point of my vid was theological. A comment on that would be welcomed.

Bert, are you okay up in your head? Do you know who you are?
This was 1950s contactee George Adamski's favourite movie. He said it accurately depicted, physically, the extraterrestrial human beings he interacted with.
I looked up Adamski's claims. I see some similarities between his Nordic- looking aliens and the actor who played Klaatu. I don't find his claims credible, however. Do you?
@@bertgary5916 Well, Adamski’s photographs and films have never been credibly debunked. To the contrary, recent advances in photographic technology have actually confirmed their authenticity. Danish researcher and professional photographer Rene Erik Olsen published a highly detailed book about his findings in 2018, along with the astounding discoveries he made from the modern enhancement and enlargement techniques which are now available to authenticate the detail in photographs.
The book is called: ‘The George Adamski Story - Historical Events Of Gigantic Implications.’
If you say so.

Kinda brings into focus the whole issue of religion and god right? Seems like they were a no show.
Yes, from what I've read and from what they said in the documentary, "Making 'The Earth Stand Still'", the Christ allegory was intentional. John Carpenter and Jesus Christ share the initials JC, and of course Jesus is thought to have been a carpenter by trade, although that is a mistranslation of the biblical Greek word tekton which just means builder. Carpernter (Klaatu) comes from above to earth using biblical words like peace and goodwill. His robot, Gort (the God character in the allegory) demonstrates unearthly power, as does the ship (the Holy Spirit character). Klaatu, the robot, and the ship (the film's trinity) alarm the authorities. They guard the ship; they shoot, arrest, grill, and then hunt Klaatu; and they encase the robot in a plastic prison. The position of Klaatu's dying body in the street is the classic crucifix pose. And there's more. All of this is to say that the subliminal biblical allegory wasn't as subliminal as the filmmakers intented. As you say, the religion and God issue comes to the fore. In that sense, far from being a no-show, the "religion and god" angle was integral to the show. But, in at least two other ways that come to mind, you're right about the no-show. First, I read about a lastminute change in the resurrection scene about the power to raise the dead: “In the original script, . . . Klaatu explains to the astonished onlooker [Helen] that this (restoring life to the dead) is the future power of science and technology, but the Motion Picture Association of America’s censor for the film, Joseph Breen, determined that this was unacceptable and forced the producer to add the line ‘that power is reserved to the Almighty Spirit.’” So in the original script, the "Almighty Spirit" was indeed a no-show. Imagine! A Hollywood censor added God to the movie. Second, in my estimation as one who has studied and taught the NT Gospels for decades, the filmakers created an allegory of evangelical fundamentalism's warped yet pervasive view of the trinity, not the actual Trinitarian God of the Gospels. In this sense, God is also a no-show. Thanks for the thought-producing comment. My livestream/zoom panel discussion of this issue might interest you: th-cam.com/video/M6nhLlrk250/w-d-xo.html
Was Truman President maybe
She was Kathryn Janeway's great great great great great grandmother.
I checked this. Seems Neal and Mulgrew are unrelated, And there's the math problem, too: It is impossible for someone only 50 yrs older than you to be your 5th great-grandparent. My 5th g-gs were born 300 yrs ago.
Bert I’m in love with you
This is Great Sci-Fi. The Remake was a Joke. L.L.&.P.
If you mean the 2008 remake, I absolutely agree.
Bert how dare you say klaatu is Jesus but also COMPARE KLAATU TO LENIN
Not sure what I just watched, but it is enjoyable. Maybe next time with a buzz on
How did he escape from the hospital?
@Carl Falk - Most hospital escapes are done with "intensive care". Sorry for the bad humor.
Comparing klaatu to Jesus and also dictators, what an odd comparison
Klatu Barada Nickto
@richardwilliams473 - I see you know the sinner's prayer. :)
dommage ce n'est qu'un film (que je revois parfois dvd) mais le "message" n'a pas touché "le grand monde"!
Contentez-vous que ce ne soit qu'un film. Sinon, vous seriez l'esclave d'un vaste État policier ou mort. (Be glad it was only a film. Otherwise, you would be the slave of a vast police state or dead.)
This video is better than the original movie which It copies. The video is funnier, more clever and thankfully shorter than the movie.
Thanks, Phil.
Wasn't the Metallica cover from the same album featuring the song "The God that Failed"?
I don't know, but it's these guys: th-cam.com/video/d_YkgoRl8jU/w-d-xo.html
If you're right, that's both appropriate and ironic
WTF is the music
@Roland Keith - Are the songs and info about them not in the description?
Why we haven't seen any aliens lately of course when they brought his peace the military shot them
I don't understand. Punctuation might help, if you want to repost, Leland. Who are "we" and "they" and "his" and "them"?
Slow it down..you are making a joke out of a great film.
Wesley, i can understand why you would say that, but you're wrong.. I'm not making fun of the film.. The filmmakers Intended It to be a Christ allegory. This is documented. Their allegory, however, models and serves an atrocious and pervasive modern evangelical view of Christ and the Trinity. As a theologian, I am lampooning that, not the film. I suggest you read what I wrote in the description and watch the Panel discussion we had on this video. There you will see trat I bear no malice against the film.. It is my favorite sci-fi movie from the fifties.. Coincidentally, it's also the perfect vehicle for challenging modern evangelicalism's unholy view of the Trinity.
Shit always pretends to help.......lolol
You got it.
You've destroyed this classic - thumbs down 👎
Thanks for the thumbs down. I'm not one who ever really bets, but I'll bet you three things: 1) you are unaware of the Christ allegory intended by the filmmakers, 2) you didn't watch my entire video or read the description, and 3) you didn't view the companion panel discussion on modern evangelicalism's twisted view of the Trinity. Why so serious, Jet? Why no shirt? :)
@@bertgary5916 I don't care about your motivation nor your excuses. The comment stands because it's fact. You destroyed this classic in the name of click counts and ad revenue.
Respectfully, Mr. Jet, you have no facts. You have an opinion, hyperbole, and false accusations. Here are the facts, not opinions or excuses: 1) I've been the pastor of Owl Rock UMC for 12 years and I'm 63 and live in Atlanta where I was born. 2) When covid hit, we began livestreaming and zooming worship and Bible studies; I uploaded these recordings to TH-cam. Even though we've returned to meeting in person, we continue to Zoom and Livestream and upload to TH-cam. 3) I made the Klaatu Project and other videos for Bible study discussion only. 4) None of my videos are monetized---zero---including the Klaatu Project. I don't know what ad revenues are and I don't care. I've never made a dime on any videos, and I never intend to. Click counts are meaningless to me. 5) All I care about is using Zoom, Facebook, and TH-cam as a means of maintaining pastoral relationships and facilitating Christian education and theological conversation. 6) It is not a fact that the movie is destroyed. It exists. I own a copy. You just don't like how I used it. You have a right to that opinion. You gave my vid a thumbs down, and you've made it clear you don't like my use of TDTESS. I hear you loud and clear. There is no need for hyperbole and false accusations. Will you please stop. Thank you.
Who's the greatest man on Earth!?
Who's the biggest sexist in this film!?
Robert was Wise
Thanks for the comment. Not sure what it means
crap sound track ruins the feel
@LTColZero I hope I destroyed the feel.
Just stupid- horrible kid stuff- “ O wow, I can use different scores- I’m 15!
@Evan Torch - I was 15 in 1973. Ironically your comment sounds exactly like what a 15 year old would write.
PLEASE stop this ridiculous "Music"?
This is drivel! 🤣🤣🤣
@Follower of Julian - How nice for Caesar that he doesn't have to defend his pronouncements.
A very stupid film.....!
DJA, I'm interested in what in the film you found to be stupid.
This is stupid
@tomlambert Just because you didn't understand it doesn't make it stupid. And, BTW, "that's stupid" is not an argument.
