CLIP DESCRIPTION:
After the military attacks Klaatu (Michael Rennie), the robot enforcer Gort descends from the spaceship and melts their weapons.
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.

Even 70 years later, that scene where the spaceship closes itself still looks crisp.
I was thinking the same
the ramp and stuff was puttied up and painted. when it closes they reversed the scene. I am gort and tell you this since I was there.
It looks brilliant!
......
And the tank vaporizing and smoke on the ground!
Take a moment to appreciate just how incredible these effects were for the time.
Yes. The way the tank and those artillery pieces disintegrate still looks as cool today as when I first watched this with my Dad in the early 70’s.
Especially given the time they were made. These days if you wanted to recreate this scene you could easily just use a CGI program like Blender to create the shots where Gort destroys all of the weapons, but in the 1950s those effects would've been done practically which essentially means there was more manual labour involved and possibly more brainstorming as well.
Why should I? I saw this in theater when it first came out. Got you beat.
@@donkeyslayer9879Good for you. Have a cookie.
@@donkeyslayer9879 In 1951 ?
The way the ship seals up tight ... so damn cool. No morphing, no CGI, just a massive practical effect.
❤ Soon there will be a REAL GORT .. AI ROBOT
Earliest CGI in pop culture was the CGI used in the opening credits for Hitch’s VERTIGO, (1958).
The appearance of "Gort", to me, is one of the best sci-fi scenes ever filmed!
Everyone misunderstands Gort!! He was here for a lube job.
I absolutely love how he just appears there. No one saw him walk out of the ship or anything; they just look up and there he is. The music that accompanies the surprise gives me goosebumps every single time.
@Mike Collins: Taxi Driver!
And no one heard him either. Gort and the ship both look like metal, but the film makes his footfalls silent. It's frightening how silent he is -- even his visor weapon is quiet.
It made him look much scarier than if you saw him just walk out!
WHAT DID HE SAY ? CANT FIND IT.
Full music score on Tidal - Bernie Herrmann
The way they introduced Gort that was brilliant. They had him ALREADY standing there when the soldiers looked up, that made it much more powerful psychologically. The music was brilliant as well :)
They know that they fucked up when Gort is here! And that eerie music just sets the atmosphere so well.
Billy McAuliffe If it had happened in Europe they would have surrendered before Gort got involved.
Any how... it's a great movie.
Let's try and stick to that.
Billy McAuliffe
You started your own world wars, killed hundreds of thousands of your own troops, and bombed each other's cities nightly for nearly three years before we got involved.
As I recall you need no help from us to start wars on a global scale. You only need our help to end them.
Billy McAuliffe
You started it, Captain Cranky Pants. If you want to talk trash you have to expected to get it back.
I mean, come on, why do you have to be that way?
We all came here to enjoy the movie and you want to pick a beef with a continent full of people you don't even know.
Have a little class, bro.
Do we go to the Red Dwarf page and say that the characters are great but the special effects stink?
So kick back, grab a cold one and try and enjoy the movie without making the rest of us analyze your hangups.
SpockBoy- Yes...thank Bernard Hermann for a brilliant score!
Only when the 2nd member of Daft Punk emerged did everyone run away.
"This guy's slightly chunkier silver outfit is way more scary. Let's go!"
☠️
This is in my top 10 of favorite movies.Gort is just one mean robot.Great effects for 1951,and a very thought provoking story.
I always loved how the saucer ‘healed’ up when closing itself and retracting it’s boarding ramp. That was the sexiest way to close a spaceship evar!
How they did it: The saucer openings were sealed with putty, smoothed over and painted to be invisible to a camera. It opened normally, breaking the seal. The shots of it closing are merely reversed footage of it opening, so the openings appear to seal perfectly.
Who needs CGI?
:D
- Neko Levi is best Levi.
They should get back to making movies like that with real stuff
And in the scene it's so silent! No machine sounds at all. A small detail which adds to the sense of how far beyond our technology this is.
@@KutWrite WOW, BRILLIANT 🍷..
Still enjoyable after 67 years. Kids should have a blast watching Gort do his stuff. Bernard Herrmann's music is fantastic.
I AM having a blast. This is awesome!
That is my measure of a movie's worthiness. It can be watched 20 times, (not consecutively, of course), and it still entertains. "Casablanca" or "the Godfather " are good examples of this
Ok boomer
One of the best sci-fi ever. Final message of movie is priceless.
I also hate the kids, and I hate the music that they like!
Oops threw out my back.
I like the way Gort diss arm's the military without hurting anyone
That is the most important detail. Gort is a weapon of peace. Not of war.
Damn that was a badass flick. I was only 5 months old when this movie was made. I'm 70 now and still love watching it.
The soldiers were a bit too trigger happy after getting back from Korea
The Aliens came to reclaim their stolen radio .
Gareth Glitter lol
A 45 has a kick to it so aim low the police in my town just bought a big APC it looks like a garbage truck or it could be knocked over by a garabage truck a guy that WAS IN THE aRMY SAID HE WAS IN A TANK KILLER TEAM IF THEY RUN OUT OF ROCKETS THEY ARE TRAINED TO MAKE MOLOTV COCTAILS
Gareth Glitter
Nobody ever fired at the Robot. Makes no sense.
Gareth Glitter, nothing has changed in 70years. Americans still have the " Wild West" mentality " shoot first" don't ask questions . Amis are always right ( NOT ). no other country is as destuctive . . .
Klaatu: *Doesn't appear to be harmless*
Solider: "So anyways I started blasting"
Gort: So anyways I started Melting there stuff
Whats a solider
@@wezz-t812 They unmelt stuff that Gort has melted!
“But I don’t shoot so good so i missed”
What?
One of the all-time greatest scenes in any science fiction movie.
This can become reality for the US regime if they don't stop the endless wars
2nd greatest. "Gort Klatu barada nictoe" is the 1st. You would be hard pressed to find an American who does not know who Clark Kent is. Probably just as hard finding someone who doesn't know those words.
This is probably the best scifi movie ever, and the special effects are excellent, as is the great soundtrack. This is so much better than the remake.
the remake is a disaster.
@Jeff Mattel To each his own. By the way, I'm sure you wouldn't like my all time favorite movies Barbarella (1968) and Star Trek the Motion Picture (1979)......
@LeoS No, I saw Barbarella on it's first run here in the states, when it was rated M (not PG).
The remake is a cinema crime . Class X felony. Only an idiot remakes a masterpiece.
certainly the remake couldn't hold a candle to it. Not to mention that Keanu Reeves is no Michael Rennie.
One of the greatest science fiction movies ever made
Amazing 6 years after World War II incredible!
The music was played on instrument called Theremin
Not the music per se, but the warbling sound!
who you think you are AdolfKittler he he
Salvatore Conte yes it’s a hand-less instrument.
it's that classic 50's scifi sound...
They used the Thermin alot in sci-fi movies.
The background music was amazing! You always knew that something was going to happen since Gort was going to protect his master. My favorite sci-fi movie of all time!
Bernard Herrmann’s first scoring assignment following his permanent move to Hollywood from NY-and it’s both a winner and a harbinger of great scores to come.
My favorite of all movies. Scared heck out of me as a kid.

A classic sci fi movie, I don't care how good new ones get with their special effects and cgi, they won't beat this. A masterpiece and film making at its best!
Your wrong the movement so slow that I have time
You can improve the technology, but that's no replacement for artistry. This film is a work of art.
@@danieldickson8591 well no movie nowadays is faster efficient than ever movie create by months back in a day it Loong to make a movie
@@danieldickson8591 if you still using the same technology back in a day it will be expensive as heck
@@harrishromero6447 There's nothing wrong with using today's more advanced tech if it accomplishes what you want more efficiently. But what matters is how you use it. Many movies today are slick flashy garbage. The writers, directors, cinematographers, set designers, lighting designers, musicians, editors etc. who worked on this film were great artists, and the end result transcends the limits of their technology.
I saw this when it first came out as a child and at 68 it STILL brings chills up my spine. When GORT appears out of the spacecraft and walks down towards crowd and that ominous eerie music starts playing and the ship seals itself up......................you just know there is going to be trouble.
Я шукав саме цей коментар! Глядача, який побачив фільм відразу після його виходу. Я хотів почути його автентичний коментар. І враження, яке справила тоді на нього ця драматична і моторошна сцена.
Дякую Вам за відгук!
Прямо відчуваю ці жахливі мурашки по спині!
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this movie is perhaps the pinnacle of all the sci-fi movies in all of movie history. The ominous music scores and climactic moments make this movie an absolute masterpiece.
Definitely one of my Top 20 Favorites when it comes to sci-fi movies.
No, Forbidden Planet is. But this is top 5 definitely.
this, pinnacle? it barely looks good enough for us to suspend disbelief.
@@gordonlekfors2708 itis not about suspending belies of making effects look real, but engaging viewers into the movie. those where the days when they had genuine plots..
It focuses on the story instead of saucers flying around. That's what makes it a superior movie.
The first time I saw this movie in the 60’s I was hooked! Nothing can take its place. I will ever be in love with Gort!!
Made by the same director that brought you the Sound of Music. Sheesh, talk about a diverse talent.
But a talent none the less
And editor of Citizen Kane and the Magnificent Ambersons
I didn't know that...
@@randywhite3947 Damn you are well researched!
And West Side Story, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and a forgotten 80’s dance film called Rooftops.
These old movies were awesome.
The very credible story, fine acting, superb music and sound/special effects make this the best (IMO) science fiction film of all-time. It really stands the test of time. Great foresight in the storytelling and in the entirety of this great film. Nice
feature is the use of Washington as a backdrop for the action. Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal
make you forget you're watching a
movie.
There's never been a robot as cool as Gort.
Maxilmillian from the Black Hole comes in at no.2
Optimus prime at No. 3
C-3PO : "I'm pretty cool. I am fluent in over six million forms of communication, and can readily..."
Gort:
@@Random_Blip This would absolutely happen.
Mechagodzilla, Fulgore, Sektor, T-800.
Best SCI FI movie ever made you just couldn’t better it, every actor perfectly cast.
Agreed. My favorite movie.👍
The original might just be my favorite movie of all time. Still so relevant today, perhaps even more so.
That slow opening of Gort’s visor is ominous. Brilliant.
It looks better in color.
Watching it as a kid scared the crap out of me! Especially later when Helen is trying to remember what to say as Gort's visor opens. I thought she was done for.
Gort is precise and methodical, never in a rush. He knows us primitives can't hurt him, and we can't stop him. Remember when he let us encase him in a big plastic box. When he decided to get out it wasn't with some massive flex or flashy explosion. He just methodically dissolved the block away with energy. Minimum effort necessary.
I fondly remember watching this movie as a 6-year-old child back in 1961 when it aired on NBC's Saturday Night At The Movies. This scene scared the crap out of me! Fantastically directed by Robert Wise, delivering a powerful post WW-II sentiment. Thanks for posting this!
Me too.Remember it clearly.
The actual line by Patricia Neal is: “Gort - Klaatu barada nikto! Klaatu barada nikto!”
Me too! I was all of 8 years old.I loved this movie. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was gonna make this comment but you beat me to it. I was 7 & at my grandparents house. They almost didn't let me see it, but got interested in it themselves! Now I own a copy & watch it whenever I want. Kinda makes you wish something like that would happen in today's times, just to give the Earth's Governments a reality check!!
Me too I was ten years old and home alone. I got my bb gun for protection!
The orchestral score, accented by the spooky theremin, adds so much to this film. I've loved it for decades.
Alien dude: “Finally I have arrived on a planet with sentient beings. I have to introduce myself to them. Oh wait I forgot to turn off the deadly killing machine I used for self defense. Let me take the remote and turn it off.”
Soldier: blast the remote away.
I guess you missed the part of the movie where Klaatu explains that Gort isn't a servant... that Gort is an autonomous enforcer.
Calling Klaatu, a dude shows your level of development of Humanity, now to hospital
Absolutely one of the best sci Fi films ever made.
Agreed! This, the original Thing from Another World (1951, though the 1982 remake is good as well)), War of the Worlds (1953), and Forbidden Planet (1956) are in my Top Five.
@@Mrgaunt1 Agreed.I have to add 2001.
No one messes with Gort.
No one messes with Gort's pal Klatu.
Bill & Ted would have Melvined him.
@@lewisner Good joke.
He takes action against the aggressors ,no preferences
@@lewisner Yeah they would have, but I'm pretty sure Gort is junkless, so no go.
Every time Gort showed up, you knew some serious stuff was about to happen. And I love the way the movie started straight out of the gate with the ship landing!
Still a classic after all these years lessons can still be learned
Even after all these years it is still the best scifi film ever made.
I love how hundreds of people just run like hell with one look at Gort coming down the ramp. And that great music. So simple and yet so scary.
Possibly the only comical scene in the movie because of how fast the people ran.
@@Isaac-gh5ku Sped up footage can be hilarious.
It does say something about military discipline, that those soldiers didn't break and run when Gort started disintegrating their toys... sorry, I mean weapons. 😉
One of the coolest scenes in movie history. The robot walking out. And the music. Man and his petty war machines.
Like War of the Worlds a few years later, this movie is a kick in the nuts of our arrogance over our vaunted technology.
For many, many years,
Gort was displayed in a shop window on La Brea Avenue,
in Los Angeles.
Eastside, South of Olympic Blvd.
Visually and with its special effects, "The Day" was ahead of its time. It still looks advanced. Gort was certainly the most terrifying space weapon ever imagined. Bernard Herrmann's musical score was superb, brilliant.
Gort was Seven Feet Tall and Could Vaporize Anyone, who was trying to Hurt Klaatu or The Spaceship
When you watch Klaatu communicating with his superiors in the spaceship, he doesn't activate controls by pushing buttons, or even touching pads. He just gestures across panels of lights. There's an elegance to that which we can't match even today.
It gave me chills when Gort just suddenly appeared on the ramp when the soldiers look up
Me too, he appeared out of nowhere
Best movie ever! Predicting the future since 1950.
I have watched this classic more times than any movie I have ever seen. I worry about anyone who does not appreciate the genius of the film. The simplicity of it and the levels of meaning are absolutely brilliant. This one is a 10 out of 10.
Maybe 11 out of 10.
I agree!
The SFX were top notch for 1951, absolutely unreal!
You don't mess with Gort.
Great old classic,,This and Forbidden Planet
Let's not forget Colossus: The Forbin Project
Oh Sure AngelRobbie just dissarmthemvermin , oh right hagtrollverminpirate"queenO'vermin" , I AM ALPHA&OMEGA DEATROYER , I AM TO TOTAL DESTROYthemvermin IN TOTO ! ! ! !
Two of the very best. Ever.
Ahh the glorious interositer! What a machine!
@Ben Finny - The remake was pretty damn good as well, + Dakota Fanning.
This was a great movie.
Brings back memories. One of my all time favorite movies.
The remake was cr*p compared to the original.
The original movie had heart, it had empathy and compassion and hope. The remake was cold and soulless.

The newest film is not as bad as people make it out to be.
This is a great movie, so far in the special effects back then.
One of the great sci-fi.... watched it as a kid and was awe struck
the soldier that shot first has a future in law enforcement
typical yank shoot first ask question after.

@@davegregory4291: While you lot hold our coats and collect the medals from your decadent, inbred, parasitic "royals."

@@gregtestagent: Yes, that's the sad part. The movie professes UN world domination, but for the whole universe. Power would corrupt aliens as easily as it does humans.
The music was so awesome in this!
Classic scene from an all time classic
This scene is one of the iconic moments in American film history. And this movie is one of my all-time favourites.
I loved this movie so much, around 2005 I got the idea of contacting Billy Gray and invite him to lunch for a reminiscent chat about his experience with TDESS. He kindly replied to my e-mail but declined saying, “Thank you, but I’m very happy in my reclusive lifestyle.” But he did comment on how well he thought the movie has stood the “test of time” with its anti-nuclear message. He seemed very nice.
Special effects are pretty incredible considering that this was 1951.
It was the work of skilled and creative artists.
Probably the best sci-fi movie of its time....also The Thing, Them, Forbidden Planet....
I love "THEM"!
@@usmale4915 Me too! I watched it again not too long ago, and then it struck me how certain elements in it remind me of one of my top favourite films: "Aliens".
The Thing was too cool. Howard Hawks new how to inject casual romance into action films.
@John Sergertson ... yes, War of the Worlds for sure.
I'm glad my history teacher showed me this. My first exposure was that really bad remake from several years back. I like this take on Gort a lot better. Much more efficient and subtle like I'd imagine a war machine infinitely more advanced than ours. Quickly disabling the human weapons harmlessly.
Dude, Robert Wise was something else as a director. The fact that the man who directed this movie also, directed “The Sound of Music” & “The Haunting” is pretty wild.
i love the older version of the day the earth stood still
Same here in fact in comparison to the 2008 version the first is a lot better.
NOTHING EVER BEATS THE ORIGINAL. just that simple !
John Smithe take off your nostalgia goggles, this movie is really outdated
I don't know... I liked the original "The Thing," but Carpenter's version was better... not just because of the effects, though they are very effective. The story is better and the indefinite ending is thought-provoking.
Shrek 2 and Halo 2 anniversary disagree
Well it could if you weren't needlessly comparing things.
@@neroidius6915 The practical effects aren't as slick as today's CGI, but they match well the tone the film was going for. Otherwise the script is smart, the acting very capable, the direction top-notch, and the themes timeless.
I still watch this movie from beginning to end. I have respect for old black and white movies. Because they paved the way for what we have today.
love the sound of the Theremin .... the music when gort comes out of the space ship .. cool :) the sound of 50s sifi :)
One of the Greatest SciFi movie EVER made alongside War of the Worlds (1950s version) there's such a feel of terror and menace in both films, and the character acting and storytelling are finely done. Two Classics in the science Fiction genre.
I love how everyone runs when Gort appears.
Gort is incredibly intimidating.
AND YOU WOULD TOO!!! 😱
Yeah these days they would whip out there phone if not already recording
The greatest scene from the best movie (and my top favorite) and greatest story of all time. Unstoppable, unbeatable technology, on par with the Krell in 'Forbidden Planet' or the Martian war machines in the original 'War of the Worlds', and put to such great use to pound into an ignorant humanity some long-overdue ultimate humility. Oh, see how they run and scream as the master enforcer steps forward.
The movie's only shortcoming was that he was not shown a bit more like this, in fulfilling his intended role.
I love this take. :)
0:50
Director: "Ok, now, everyone run! No, i said RUN! Walking quickly is not running! I need you to - oh, for God's sake, you know what, fine! We'll just speed the film up in post."
Ah, nothing helps clear the park like a giant killer robot from outer space backed by eerie music!
This scene stunned me when I first seen it.Outstanding direction,use of camera angle and music.Gort in no hurry.He has all the time he needs.Our time is in question.
Poor English. Forget watching movies & learn to speak & write correct English. "I first SEEN..." should be "I first SAW...". Study grammar, boy, grammar.
This film is outstanding for its time
And is my favorite. Film critic.
These special effects are so good, I can’t even do them XD
You could do them
You'd be surprised at how inventive and resourceful the special effects artists of the past had to be. You couldn't just punch whatever you imagined into a computer.
Whoa you sound wise Dickson how old even are you?!
@@ngnate1915 Sixty-three.
Best Scifi robot ever, with the brilliant Bernard Herrmann score
Robbie from Forbidden Planet probably comes in second.
I'll never forget my father watching this when I was little.
Great movie. Far ahead of its time.
The guy's expression is priceless when he takes a second look.
The remake of this classic film sucks big time! 1951 picture is so far ahead in awesomeness .
The final scene in the original where Kalaatu addresses the world leaders is a classic.
U B Rt.

No
This prehistoric movie? How was it ahead of it's time when it's so damn old?
Love the message of this movie!
And the warning!
The script was the star!
Human behavior has got to change! Or it will be changed for us!
Changes aren’t permanent.... but change is!
Perhaps the most intelligent script from 1950s sci-fi films
Don , you are the first to mention the movies 'message' The US, mostly has Not got it. thank you
what an intelligent comment....it seems you are 1 who GETS IT! UFO's are REAL....and they have been watching us for eons....they are from another "higher"" dimension...but they can visit this dense lower vibrational dimension(Earth) anyTIME they choose.....
One of the greatest opening scenes of all time. It is the equivalent of the first time the audience sets eyes on Darth Vader in Star Wars and I am betting Lucas was very familiar with this scene.
Vader wouldn't go one round with Gort.
Great cinematography for an old sci-fi movie. Man I love old sci-fi movies.
Little know fact. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the spaceship and it was his idea to have it organic, with "healing" hatches and ramps. The interior is in part inspired by his Johnson Wax Administration building.
Sidney Frederickson
,
For real?
He is also the grandfather of actress Anne Baxter!
That's how Thomas Bangalter got so powerful, he went into the past and took weapons, then in 1999 became Daft Punk
no pls
😂😂😂
He was Daft Punk in 1993
interstella 555 - this scene would be awesome with the daft robots coming out of the ship as well come to think of it.
This must be in anyone's top ten Sci fi movies. Love this scene.
One of the greatest sci-fi classics
Gort was pretty restrained. Didn't valorize the crowd just some weapons to make a point and a signal to stand away from the downed spaceman till he got further orders from Klatu . A pretty good algorithm for crisis programing .
But immediately after Klaatu was killed, the kid gloves came off, and the first armed soldiers to approach Gort were vaporized.
@@danieldickson8591 He also knocked out another two unconcious while Bobby was searching the UFO area.
Gort had light sensors on his surface (his back, face, and presumably all over). He had a monitor on Klaatu that told him whether he was alive or dead, and a location finder.
Many of you will also remember Michael Rennie (Klaatu) also played in Season One of Lost In Space in a 2-part episode called "The Keeper".
He played an intergalactic zoo keeper who wanted Will and Penny for his collection. Great actor now long since passed, R.I.P. Mr. Rennie.
He also played in two episodes of The Invaders.Good actor.Looked like a cross between Charlton Heston and Peter Cushing.
Lots of television work, especially as the lead in the television series (loosely) based on the novel, The Third Man (1959-65).
also played the captain of the Titanic in the first episode of Time tunnel.
@@vincentfalsaperla yessir, Irwin Allen woulda been a blast to hang out with... Recently, started checking out old Time Tunnel episodes I’d never seen. I love that show, has to be the most amazing hi-tech series of all time...
Still a good classic movie
Best Alien Picture, PERIOD! BTW, the soldier's double-take is so natural.
One of the greatest Science Fiction films ever and an iconic scene in Science Fiction history!👾👽🛸
My great uncle showed me this movie 10 years ago... his funeral was last night
Your uncle seemed like a great person. I’m sorry for your loss.
:( ❤️

👍
I even love just listening to the sound effects for the laser scenes
There were two Gort costumes. One with a zipper in the back when it filmed from the front and the other had a front zipper when it was filmed from the back. Gort was played by a doorman at a Hollywood restaurant who was super tall and was hired by the producers to play the part.
