When Aliens call themselves OVERLORDS, you just know it doesn't end well.
But it does end well. For humans. It depends how you view it. The novel can make some people depressed and others hopeful.
@@UteChewb The Overmind always seemed malevolent to me, basically goes around and destroys other alien civilizations to be able to absorb them into a collective conscious
It's debatable. I feel that God creates beings to have them experience life, then when they die they get absorbed back into itself, expanding God. It's interesting. I'm not really sure the Overlords were evil. They're just doing what they've always done.
@@DrewWestPressof course you are not speaking about the Christian God.
Because we need God he doesn't need us.
And our God cannot be expanded because he is omnipresent

@@家興許 First 5 seconds of the video
Childhood's End
And they faithfully adapted the book.
Aliens: *create world peace*
Also aliens years later: *blow up Earth*
Not true - years later evolved humans destroyed Earth, because they do not need it anymore. Not aliens.
Right. That's why you can't trust those with that kind of power.
sound American to me.
@@DeLaRafi. that's not American, it bureaucratic
@@tribeval Only muricans bombed several big cities and commited genocide on several countries with weaker army. Plus they are the only ones that used nukes on other countries like sore losers. So yes, everyone who claim to help and end up bombing everything to dust sounds american-ish.
Basically, the biggest planet-swap scam ever. Well played aliens!
Where's the planet swap? It looks more to me like the farmer harvesting the mature pigs he had in his farm.
@@shakunrelhan2944 I saw the planet swap only in my mind, assuming the last scene about the planet destruction is just deception. But your interpretation is generally more correct, a bit like in the movie Jupiter.
Uh this is religious.. satan.. God etc.
Actually, base in the book, it's more like a teenage leaving home and the passage to adulthood, but the result is his/her old house being burned to the ground.
And we all basically die or lose our human forms? And can’t recreate so we’re locked in this form for ever whether we like it or not
0:02 In case anyone missed it, this is a 2015 mini-series called "Childhood's End", based on a book by Arthur C. Clarke. It's very similar to his other work "The Songs of Distant Earth". I highly recommend reading them. (If you're a Mike Oldfield fan, his album of the same name "The Songs of Distant Earth" is a great accompaniment to listen to when reading TSoDE.)
(edited to change time stamp)
Thanks.
Thats why it felt familiar.
You saved me from writing this, although I didn't know about the mini-series, only Clarke's original.
@@Gladtobeleaving fun/interesting fact - when my late husband was in the merchant navy in the 70s, he met Arthur, and surfed at his beach when they docked in Sri Lanka. I've got photos somewhere in the attic of it. (Hubby and I had an age gap before anyone asks. X)
The novel is one of the best science fiction books I have read. Excellent. The book portrays the Overlords as masters of the material world, but that is not enough, a radical idea in the 1950s. Also, they never kill anyone, but I that might have been added to spice the story up.
The Overmind seems to work very similar to the Flood from the Halo series, or vice versa.
The underlying premise is that the universe's original consciousness created other life so that it could absorb all of their experiences upon their death, in order to achieve infinite experiences.
The aversion of death that all creatures experience is designed to give the original consciousness a chance to experience fear which is an impossible outcome if we are not given our free will.
It would be interesting to know why the Overlords cannot enter the Light.
I assume the Overmind does not want their experiences to be a part of the entirety of consciousness, perhaps because the experience of their work in the universe would be akin to seeing a director with his props in the final cut of a movie. Not allowing their race to enter the Light would be the only way the Overmind could deliver a pure batch of experiences to itself.
Cool movie.
It's an extreme rarity to see a philosophical comment on RUclips that isn't just utter nonsense or quoted from someone else. Nice.
The overlords species reached the end point in evolution, they couldn't evolve any further, humans on the other hand could with a little help, fast track to a point in evolution that allowed the evolved kids to join the overmind. One of the overlords explained this in the series with a little bit of envy, whilst his species was relegated to doing the dirty work.
Childhood's End was first since I read the book about half a century ago.
@@magpiefrogfrom2556 That end point seems very much self inflicted though. We know evolution by itself doesn't work that way, so long as species continue to reproduce, whether sexually or not, there are opportunities for mutations to emerge. The fact that they are, I guess, just perfect genetic clones with only slight planned variations or do not reproduce , must mean the Overmind is putting their thumb on the scale.
In the book, "Childhood's End", the Overlords say that their own evolutionary path has come to a dead end, but humanity can ascend to the next level. The Overlords are permitted to study the transition, but not interfere, or else. I haven't seen the movie / series of it, but in the book the Overlords never kill anyone, or let humans torture or kill animals, though they will let humans kill each other since that is their choice. And the children are the ones in charge, also the daughter is not all powerful, she is just one of many, it is the Overmind that is powerful. I highly recommend the book, even though it was written so long ago. Also, the Overlord's homeworld isn't all lava. It is under the light of a red dwarf star so there is a reddish pall to everything, for human eyes.
The part that got me was that the overlords were not able to enter the light. That they, lacked something we could do. Really brings to mind that no matter how advanced or dumb your are, you always have something that others do not.
That’s just included because no matter what higher being there is humans think they’re better in some way
We’re so self centred 🙄
@@Lelo.Machakawell not all humans think they are better than anyone else. We are all grain's of nothing blowing in the cosmos when it comes to it. We live and can not avoid death.
No matter what you believe it all ends with us falling to dust. We live die and part's move on to join the universe. We are no better than the animals that we all think are soulless. We are no better than the other world's with no life. If I was in that universe I would have asked god would you do me the honor of destroying my body so I can at least have something that is my own even if I pass on from existence. I've only ever wanted a average life. I never wanted to over power people. I never wanted to rule people. But the human race is full of people who would rather remove me from society and keep the evil growing.
@@justinemerson3704 I’m talking about humans in general which is why I said ‘we’
Besides ‘God’ or ‘the creator’ of us
Who or what else do we think is greater or better than us ???
@@justinemerson3704 exactly, majority of humans think that way
Differences between the book and movie
New Athens is something like a new Renaissance
New Athens is actually taken out by a tidal wave and it's implied that this was done by the overlords.
When Milo returns to earth, basically all the children don't look quite human and are all on one continent.
The earth isn't destroyed but rather every living being joins the overmind in a flash of light that comes after the humans rearrange the moons orbit.
NO. New Athens is *not* taken out by a tidal wave. A tidal wave hits the beaches where Jamie is wading. Karellan, or his assistant, warn him and tell him to run to higher ground. Then Karellan visits and is asked by Jamie's parents if the Overlords are monitoring humans (No), their family (Yes). This is the start of the change in the children who don't raise their hands, that's just added in. New Athens ends when the parents are walking along the beach after the ships have arrived to take the children to a safe place, because they are in danger from their own parents. The wife looks at her husband just before the nuke goes off because she too is psychic. The Earth is destroyed, leached of all energy including the matter, that's almost a quote. The moon continues on, and Karellan thinks it will be lonely now.
Book was way better, couldn't put it down once I started...
The movie produced the same emotion that reading the book in high school did: despair, as the despair of the adults whose children have grown distant and start leave them (a horrible pain as any parent would know), and despair of all the individual characters whose lives are being followed:
Ricky whose wife died of cancer, and he still misses her despite being remarried.
Elly because Ricky can't let go of his previous dead wife,
Rachael who loves Milo but her affection is not returned by Milo,
Milo who wants to know everything but can't,
Milo who later decides to love Rachael but too late because she is now dead, (this really got to me).
and even despair of the overlords themselves because they can't join the overmind as part of the cognitive melting pot like all the other species have.
Pantheism must inevitably result in absolute despair and the eternal annihilation of all personal beings! Pantheists' heaven is actual human beings' hell!
Despair that I have to read this schlock.
@@ljgittingeriii3199Why would you want individualism when you can join your original source, God, as one and have peace. Being stuck in heaven forever without any death is a kind of hell.
With Christianity, God created and calls those who are born again to be called the children of God.
@@chris-zu6sf I think you may have missed your last dose of anti-psychotic. Please remember to take your medications as your connection to reality will improve.
A space being that looks like a demon should've been the biggest clue that they were doomed.
Demons are purely fictional and can take on any arbitrary appearance you give them.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they Doesn't matter, the Aliens in this movie were absolutely evil.
@@FemboyPrince The Overlords were merely acting on behalf of the Overmind. In no way does the novel depict them as evil.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they
The Overmind itself is beyond good and evil.
I gotta say this is one of the best premises I've ever seen on here. I've always wondered if there was some crossover between our idea of angels and demons, ancient biblical events told in stories, and extra terrestrial life. Like the idea of what angels really look like (rotating rings of eyes surrounded by many, many wings and emanating light) sounds like a possibly misunderstood hologram or unknown tech. This is a fascinating exploration into the idea, and it could definitely be taken even further! Great video and subscribed!
I always wondered about the garden of Eden just being a test to see if humans are rally conscious entities.
Like, how do you test if something is smart? Actually smart? Actual consciousness? Whatever you tell the thing to do and it does it its just a machine following orders. You tell an AI to draw a picture of a cat is just like pushing the gas pedal on a car. There is no true consciousness there.
So how do you test consciousness? How do you test to see if your creations are ready?
You give them the opportunity to break a rule. Machines can't break rules. Only true consciousness can go directly against what it is told.
So perhaps the Garden of Eden was just a testing ground and once they broke that rule they proved themselves to be truly human, truly alive.
Its a great book. read it.

@@himoffthequakeroatbox4320that's only one view. Others view the end of civilization and our planet as scary and unconscionable.
Read the original novel by Arthur C. Clarke back in 8th grade. It was a very creative piece of work, and I loved that twist of the Overlords' appearance. The explanation of a sort of genetic memory, or echo perhaps, was a fascinating idea. Of course what really stood out to me was how it probably influenced the Zerg in Starcraft, with the Overmind as the core of their hive mind, and Overlords being psionic minions to oversee direct operations in the field.
James H. Schmitz did it before Clarke on his Second Night of Summer.

"Of course what really stood out to me was how it probably influenced the Zerg in Starcraft, with the Overmind as the core of their hive mind, and Overlords being psionic minions to oversee direct operations in the field."
Starcraft's Zerg are derived from Warhammer 40K's Tyranids, so if anything, Tyranids were inspired by that.
@@buragi5441 I don't mean the direct thematic inspiration. Starcraft was, after all, supposed to be a 40k game before the deal fell through. I just meant the names specifically.
It has literally nothing in common with the zerg or the flood or any other sci fi race with the word "overmind" in it
Childhood's End was one of my favorite sci-fi movies (miniseries) despite it being so often overlooked and underappreciated. I strongly recommend watching it before watching past the first few minutes of this summary because the reveal of Karellen is epic.
So humans can ascend and join the overlord and maybe a new reality. The gift is so great that it makes the aliens envy it. The devil like creatures envy humans because they are stuck in this one reality and can never escape it. Well, damn. Looks like the humans who left their plane of existence can enjoy another one possibly. The devil like creatures can only know the reality they currently inhabit. It's like living in different movies or video games and experience new possibilities. The aliens only get to enjoy one game but seemingly live forever. It would get stale playing one game as the same character or watching the same movie over and over again.
It's an allegory of the Bible. The aliens are angels, the devils are the fallen angels, the hive mind is the "New Jerusalem" of Revelation," and the envy the Overlords feel is the same envy that led some of the angels to fall. The new reality is Heaven, and the Earth being destroyed is an allegory for "the Old Heaven and the Old Earth passed away."
@@rharris4736 I don't think Clarke wrote it as an allegory. In the book the reason that people fear the devil is that humans can see the future and other things, though not well, this is the thing that the Overlords don't have and that the Overmind will enhance in humanity. But humans sense that in some future these creatures will come and take away their children, and doom the Earth, which is an oversimplification of what happens. So the bible is a foreshadowing of the event produced from the occasional psychic ability in humans. Read the book, it's pretty clear.
@@UteChewb There's some merit to your statements. And I'll admit that it's been a while since I read it (Freshman year in college). But the "it's an allegory for the Bible" explanation is what I built my end-of-term Lit Paper on and it worked (98 out of 100, even from a professor who hated religion, because he couldn't deny that the arguments were at least soundly supported), so I'm going to stick with the interpretation that has worked so far.
It's a novel though, and the funny thing about literary symbolism is it changes with age, and with audiences.
It clearly projection, cuz humans will forever be weak and stuck here until extinction, mere mold on a rock
it feels like as if ascension is a way for you to log out of the "simulation"
Moral i learned: Despite how hard you may fight to go against one thing sometimes its impossible u can reach the point where there is 1% left for u to change but it just doesnt happen. Sometimes u just got let it go
They did an adaptation of Childhood's end? I didn't know. One of the most intriguing Arthur C.Clarke novel
It is really impressive how faithful to the book is this movie.
A true rarity nowdays.
THE PLANES LANDING LIKE HELICOPTERS IS SO DAMN HILARIOUS
I was expecting silly movie, but it turned out pretty darn good. Holy shiet, i didnt even expect it to turn this way. I thought the Devil Creature is just posing being good while its tailoring its evil master plan behind everyones back.
Because it was based on a properly written book, and not a brainfart of some hollywood producer.
That's essentially what it was. No one thinks there the bad guy but when you go around murdering planets, guess what? You are.
@@grantpflum6844 reminds me of the main plot in mass effect...
@grantpflum6844 morality is subjective though. It's why they came to earth for so many years prior. Humans had to "accept their fate". Which is thr basis core belief of every major religion. Blindly believing is the only way. Great blend between the contemporary and the science fiction. Good science fiction creates conversation in the parking lot.
@@grantpflum6844 so galactus
As the old saying goes. if it's too good to be true, it is.
This is really cool and really scary
The idea of a hive mind and loosing ones individuality it only the tip of the iceberg
But also seeing the whole earth blow up like it never existed
Only the animals saved on a zoo remains in a other star system many light years away
Our music, art, scientific and math discoveries, history, wars, humans ourselves
All gone in an instant
Thats terrifying
To you perhaps terrifying, but to the Masters, they can always make more humans.
Agreed. That thought is both scary and depressing, but somehow slightly calming too. Sometimes I feel Humanity carries too much weight and forces too much Meaning on ourselves.
So cool i would do it again
@@BruceLeon83 everything is inherently meaningless humans make up their own thing, thats why this "force too much meaning" happened
Mere molds on a rock
I may be ignorant of how things are within the consciousness. But I'd think that all of our art, music, and stories gets to finally be shared with everyone else.
I love the idea of aliens looking like the devil, or even like angels but in the scary biblical accurate way. Not enough science fiction movies using this concept.
Also, I love the shot at 16:50 with the children flying into the sky with their arms spread like crosses. Sure, people will joke about t-posing yaddayadda very funny but I think despite the subtle goofiness it's still an amazing, obscure and outlandish idea and gives me Evangelion vibes
I find it rather silly and illogical. How does anyone know what the Devil looks like, let alone that it exists at all? The images of angels and demons are products of human imagination.
The only interesting aspect of the devil look-alike, is that humans of the ancient past had already been visited by Korellan, which inspired their images of the devil. I think the adoption of Christian iconography in the writing was a conceit to appeal to a Western readership.
@@aliensoup2420 I don't think it was explained in the movie, but I think it was a surprising "Oh hey, look, aliens are actually devils/demons/angels, so that's where all that stuff came from" moment I didn't expect from the movie at this point, even though it's a low-hanging fruit. It's not very deep or super interesting in this movie, but I still like the concept.
@@aliensoup2420 It was explained in the book that takeover of all the children by the overmind created sort of psionic echo that traveled across time itself carrying images of the overlords together with fear and despair of dying humanity.
A few centuries of creative interpretation later christianity was born.

@@narniaknight Childhood's End. By Arthur C. Clarke. One of the most beautiful and terrifying books.
I think the Harvesters would've been a better name for them. They're harvesting the life that they created into their collective consciousness
That's not really what happens to humans in the book or the movie. They don't join the overmind as the recap suggests, humans become their own independent 4th/5th dimensional species. The Overmind is essentially a doctor (in the sense that it directs the 'birth') and the Overlords are like midwives. What was discovered is this is the only path of evolution that works, all other paths lead to galactic violence or self destruction, and the overlords are actually an evolutionary dead end. That's why they assist the overmind willingly, they are allowed to study the process and they are trying to overcome their own nature as an evolutionary dead end. So basically the overlords cull the dead ends and free up their planets for other species to take over (it's implied in the book they were responsibile for the dirty work of the "flood" from the bible because the species on track to take over the planet was a violent one and humans have a genetic memory of the event from a past ancestor) and they help birth the new ascendant consciousness into the next world.

childhoods end is an ugly story that tries to put a positive spin on the genocide of humanity.
Dude, that plane isn't "landing!" It's being gently lowered by something that has power over gravity!!
I haven't seen the film, so I don't understand what's going on. But I DO know that for an aeroplane to remain aloft (VTOL excepted, but irrelevant here anyway) it needs to generate lift over its wings, which can only happen when there's enough airflow over them. This means that if it wants to stay in the air, it NEEDS to also be moving forward.
This aircraft ISN'T moving forward at all, instead appearing to just be hovering in the one spot, being lowered ever so gently. That implies the defiance of gravity.
What a fucking nightmare.
Okay, but if they are aliens and not demons why do they keep reacting badly to the holy cross?
Lozzz why are you dump. Do you thinks demons react to cross in real life?
Ikr. Even Arthur c Clarke was born and raised in a culture that thought the cross had magical powers.
Something wasn't right.
Sad this is probably how people would behave. Prefering to suffer rather than enjoying true peace.

One of my favorite books by Arthur C. Clarke.
Taking the criminal guy's soul and bringing back to life that poor boy is something you DON'T wanna FAFO
I remember watching this years ago.
Do you remember the name of this? Ty.
@maym2282 Childhoods end
So if I sum up, God is a Lich Supreme who raises his own cattle?
4:02 ok this is where the writing goes off. There is no way a dealer is going to shoot a kid in a friking wheelchair, come on dude.
Imagine that it's not an alien doing this, but an Artificial Superintelligence. Now add to the mix a touch of "Her" (Movie).
You can now understand how an AI might takeover. No bullets or terminators needed.
You're welcome.
Why dont they say the name of the movie or series? Am i missing something?
Combine lore
I'm genuinely confused.
So the Aliens aren't BAD, but theye not good, theyre like the center of the universes "Minions". They themselves cannot "ascend" so they "help" others ascend. Ascending is technically death, but it's a new form of life entirely?
bad take or?
Hahah. I love the devil reveal.
If the overloads had such compassion to waste large amounts of energy/time for - what would be looked upon as a bug (Milo), or lower (or even a speck of dirt) - then they would not wipe out entire planets without remorse. The premise contradicts itself.
The book explains that it was all about the children rising to the next level of evolution and enlightenment. The overlords were simply messengers and workers for a higher power and travelled the universe for eons helping multiple species to manage the same transition.
@@brucethompson7214 That still does not explain the huge waste of time and resources for one "bug". The motivation for doing that is the contradiction.
@@larrycanupp411 I guess the force that controlled the overlords was as mysterious as our 'God.' I meant look at all the illogical bat shit crazy stuff in the bible?
man i love this series so much, such a good story ^^) highly recommend this to anyone who hasnt seen it :)
Wat is it called
@@forrestfrantone childhoods end ^^)
Overlords: No more wars.
Lookheed Martin: wut?
A certain Austrian man would be happy to see the children’s hand movements 😂
🤨🤨🤨
It's such a powerful book. So sad for the aliens. Sometimes, absolute power is not enough.
Ah yes, a child figuring out how alien tech workd when brighter minds surely won't lol
This miniseries was truly one of my favorite of all time. For those of us lucky enough to watch it, it was unforgettable. Charles Dance gave the performance of a lifetime as “Karellen.” 👍
Title of the series is called "Creepy alien liberty takers park their filthy space ships above us without even asking first (2010) "
The sheer hubris on Mankind on display...
This is based on Arthur C Clarke's book, "Childhood's End". The one thing that really bothered me was the fact that they changed the spokesman from the UN General Secretary in the book, to some farmer from the Midwest in the miniseries. Why would they choose him from all the people in the world? It doesn't make sense. There seems to be a trope about the protagonist having to be some down-to-earth white male from the Midwest. If the story needs it to be that way, OK, but don't strong arm a character in for no good (plot-wise) reason.
Because politicians have baggage. I think it was a wise change. People don't trust politicians. I mean the appearance of the overlords is alarming enough.
@@theuglykwan Farmers have baggage too - all the beliefs from their podunk town and ignorance of the wider world. There are good politicians with a wide knowledge of negotiations and world affairs who would be better fits to handle a world-changing event than some hick who probably had never been out of Kansas. I certainly wouldn't trust him. The show was a US production and they decided they needed a US protagonist, so they went with the standard trope of using a someone from the Midwest.
Honestly changing from a politician to a farmer wasn’t that bad of change choice, it sort of makes sense as someone already said most people nowadays don’t trust politicians. The big change that irked me more than anything was the condensed time frame, in the book the overlords waited 50 years before they showed themselves, they wanted humanity to grow accustomed to their presence and guiding force before they appeared to the world as they truly were, they wanted to make the earth a paradise for a reason as it was the mission entrusted to them by the overmind. The mini series didn’t really make the new “Golden Age” the way the book described it, I was hoping to see more of that era as it sounded interesting in the book, I wish they would have kept a few more plot points from the book but what we got wasn’t terrible just not as good as it could have been.
well they tried, but luckily Saitama was there to kick their leaders ass
Strong story
I'm just saying, if aliens who have mastered intergalactic travel show up, we're 100% going to be doing what they ask. It would be like a modern warship landing on Sentinel Island.
