A post triggered by the (then)current Israeli 3 week-attack on Gaza.
I just came back from watching "The Day the Earth Stood Still". I don't usually write about movies at all but, here's my interpretation of the movie.
To me, it reflects the current situation of the world. It shows how the "big guns" of the world refuses to listen to anyone else. Exactly the thing that America and Israel are doing. Israel are acting as if they are ABOVE THE LAW just because they have USA as their ally. They had ignored UN's and the rest of the world's call to ceasefire. Is this their way of plotting their revenge towards Hitler?? A re-enactment of the holocaust?? It wasn't even a Muslim who did that to them. USA too had apparently turned a blind eye towards the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Instead of intervening (which I'm sure they can), they support Israel's ruthless attacks.
Well, in the movie, the aliens came to rescue planet Earth by planning to wipe out the human population, and the human race was helpless against it. It reminds us that THERE IS a greater power in the world. One that no one can fight against. The movie also demonstrates how the human race is selfish. How they damaged the world and only at the brink of a disaster that they realised their mistake and try to change. I think it's a good movie as it reminds us that no matter how big you think you are, there is always something that is bigger than us and beyond our control. I just hope that people (mainly Israelis and whoever's in a war) will quickly realise that war is NOT a way to settle things.
