Second best line in the movie: "Klaatu, let me be frank with you.". And who knew it was going to be a Fez movie? A double Fez movie.The Day the Earth Stood Still is one of my all time favorite movies and when I was a little kid, I memorized the words that saved the world from Gort the robot, just in case I would have to save the world one day - Klaatu barada nikto! It's burned into my brain. I've never had to save the Earth, but just in case...
It's very much a cold war SciFi movie - all about the Earth messing up itself and the aliens coming to warn the Earth as long as they just stay at home blowing each other up, that's OK, but now that they might start spreading war to Outer Space, well then! Our good buddy Gort is going to hang around to make sure that doesn't happen.
It's also very biblical with Klaatu taking on the name Mr. Carpenter and then dieing and come back to life - ya know, kinda like Jesus? A morality play, eh what?
Gratutious Sam Jaffe as the fake Einstein with his excellent fuzzy hair. Super duper Theramin music and on the BluRay DVD, excellent extras about it and the making of the movie, etc.
If you haven't seen this movie, you don't know nuttin' about SciFi!
