Love looking at The Time Machine over and over again. Timeless classic. An Oscar winner for producer George Pal (The War of the Worlds). His special effects, in my view, outperforms the modern 3-D computerized work in today's movies because it's so timeless. Today's audiences will beg to differ, but when one lives a long life, it's easy to make comparisons and go with first impressions. This film has its scary moments with the time travel (wars and cannibalism), and that makes TTM the attraction, plus Pal's genius at work. Thanks for posting.
New versions with all their high technology don’t compare with a well made classic.I watch the original in a theater when I was 10 years old with my dear old dad,now at 70 I still watch this movie and it hasn’t lost its magic,for me at least.
...on a fun note, right at the end at 3:37 in the window beside Rod Taylor there's a grey object marked THE LATEST TUBELESS TV and it looks almost exactly like a current HDTV - brilliant!
I always find it interesting how space changes over time. For example when I first moved in my house in 1994 my room had barely anything in it and now the room is crowded and has a somewhat built up appearance where full shelves occupy most of the empty space.
And to think 1917 was just a bit over 40 years ago and WW2 being 20, it's jaw dropping how much it changed in just that small amount of time. Also the mechanical defect turning into gunfire was a genius transition, indeed a timeless film.
The “scariest” idea that in the in the movie there had truly been a nuclear war........and we had destroyed everything. Humans then degrading to canibilsm
I believe Artificial Intelligence will realize who the bad people are, take control and start turning the planet into a utopia for fair humans! Remember the laws of robotics!!

Believe me: in 1960, the year 1966 seemed very far away. (The first thing we looked for at that time was, do the cars look dated?) Then, because we got lulled into everything feeling similar, we saw how quickly it could all disintegrate.
Skarthi Thorgils I’m guessing the whips were originally used by the wardens, or when they evolved into the Morlocks they could have made them for use when making the Eloi go in their underworld to eat them.
That's what I always wondered about this movie LOL I mean, if he was buried in a wall of cooled molten rock I can't see anyone else getting out of the shelters!!
@VickyRenee I imagined that the Eloi were people who exited the shelters while the Morlocks are the descendants of those who stayed. It would make sense for natural selection to change people into something completely different in a subterranean environment. Morlocks also were intelligent, they theoretically could've genetically modified themselves to better survive living underground.
" This was because the kingdom did not, in so many words, move through time in the normal flickering sky, high-speed photography sense of the word. It moved around it, which is much cleaner, considerably easier to achieve, and saves all that traveling around trying to find a laboratory opposite a dress shop that will keep the same dummy in the window for sixty years, which has traditionally been the most time-consuming and expensive bit of the whole business" - Terry Pratchett, "Wyrd Sisters"
August 18 1966 was the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam by Aussie and Kiwi troops. Because of this battle, August 18th is Vietnam Veteran's Day in Aus and NZ.
This guy was from the year 1899. He time travels to 1917 18 years later. Everything was normal. 23 years later to 1940. Guy time travels to World War 2. The Nazi germany invades britain in 1940. 1940 was world war 2. He also travels to 26 years later on 1966 he sees making a building very quickly and then hears noise sounds and the machine stops to 1966 and the USSR is nuclear bombing on London.
@CesareVesdani If time continues to exist, after all matter is obliterated Of course, energy remains after matter decays But is that enough to allow for the existence of time? Complicated
My dad was a boy in the 1960s and told me how his school would have atomic bombing dummy runs by hiding under a desk and sounding an alarm Must have been a terrifying time when such an event seemed almost certain
It’s funny the movie is from 1960 and he supposed when to 1966 and still look like 1960 in the way people dress. It is funny when they try to make time travel movies they always dress like the time the movie was made with some space fashion combine
Considering that this made from May 25 to July 1, *1959* , these are 1950s fashions and not even 1960. It's glaringly off, because only the most conservative and unhip individuals in 1966, behaved anything like they would've in the late 50s.
It's really sad when you think about it. He went into the future hoping to see progress but all he saw was more war and death. The T-800 in Terminator 2 was right. It really is in our nature to destroy ourselves.
the period after ww2 is called cold war which occured between the us and soviet union....some people were afraid that their animosity would lead to a nuclear war (which is likely depicted in this scene) but an actual war between the us and soviet union didn't break out...that's why it was called cold war
Most highly improbable that even a modest, family-operated department store would use the same mannequin in their front display window over six decades. Notice the hairstyle and make up on it never changed.
This doesn't make sense; 1966 shouldn't look that futuristic. The movie came out in 1960 and that was only 6 years later. Now I can understand with the remake, where the future scenes take place in 2030 and 2037 because that was quite a stretch from 2002, when the remake was made. The 1966 scene should've taken place in like 1990.
03bgood Sure, but George Pal wanted it to feel like it was part of H.G. Wells’ original story, as he H. G(eorge). Wells ended up in 1966 (probably when the book came out in the 1800s), but I may be misguided on that part of the story that may be wrong.
We usually imagine the near future will be more advanced than it actually ends up being. From Back to the Future, we should have had flying cars, holographic projections, and hoverboards. While a couple of those things are possible in very very limited applications, they are neither ubiquitous nor practical outside of lab conditions.
I think imagining 1990 and having the budget for it would have been difficult seeing the film was made for only $829,000 - Not much even inflation adjusted ($7.2M). However the 1950's and 60's were a time of great optimism that anything was possible. So we had futuristic looking Air warden customs (from Forbidden planet) an Atomic satellite (they already had Sputnik and Telstar 1 was launched in 1962). From the look of the monorail they could have been inspired by any number of shorts (some by Walt Disney) imagining what the future could look like. Ok the Tubeless TV featured @3:36 was a bit advanced although Popular Mechanics had foreseen these in the 1950's. General Motors had produced a film featuring an computer controlled car in 1956 completed with colour computer graphic displays. But I agree with @Ianwestc that we always imagine the future to be more advanced than it actually turns out.
You may all find this interesting - projections of the future including a flat screen TV from 1954 retroladyland.blogspot.com/2013/04/but-wheres-my-hover-car-what-past.html
it doesn't actually look that futuristic, though. The only major immediate difference I noticed were the uniforms of the soldiers, but that can be handwaved as some kind of protective anti-radiation suit. Other than that, maybe the city looks a bit too "American" (lots of skyscrapers and such), but none of the technology is outside of our own 1960s. The first plasma screen TV was tested in 1964, for example.
“Oh. Please! It's not a time machine, if anything; it looks like something that Elton John would drive through the Everglades” -Penny from season 1, episode 14, TBBT.
One thing both films fail to show; the people and cars (from different eras) moving lightning fast. This version at least shows someone changing the mannequin with different dresses from different decades but in the remake, the mannequin atomically changes dresses without anyone doing it.
Just from judging the visuals, it seems like time observation is one way -- he can see the outside world, but it cannot see him or interact with him in any way. Without that feature, it doesn't matter how fast through time the machine was moving, that lava surge should have killed him and melted the time machine, or encased everything in solid rock.
@@ianwestc You are correct. If outsiders can see him in the machine, then the lava should have killed him in a split second because it means he is physically occupying the same space, but with different relative time speeds.
I mean it almost did in our timeline in 1962 two years after this movie was released. I think people forget how close the Cold War was getting to going hot between 1960-1963.
wean i go to seep my room starting to sake and i went backwards in time to 2008 wean i got here i saw myself wen i was born and my room starting to sake again and went home to 2020 and i went back to bed

This was such a much better film than the remake, especially where the actors are concerned. The newer version benefits from certain better special effects but the storyline and acting was terrible. Rod Taylor was such a great actor. As far as the eloi are concerned there are all the sjw who fuss that there are too many white faces well thats how Wells wrote the story and I prefer to honor the authors vision than think I'm better than him and can write a better story. And as far as it goes the eloi from the original story come closer to showing the genetically modified race with its intellectually dumbed down race. They are excellent physical specimens but lack any curiosity or interest in the world around them. The hologram from the new film is interesting but I hate his attitude. For me the silent manequin calmly displaying the changing fashions is enough to help explain the changing times. I did feel the older version morlocks were a bit too backwards but at the same time the newer ones didn't do anything for me either, but if i had to weigh the pros and cons i go with the originals. The field of cone shaped chimneys the traveler emerges from was always one of my favorite scenes and the metallic looking sphynx from the original was great. The ruin where the eloi go to eat with its decaying relics is another of my favorites, the talking discs bear a resemblance to modern CDs and totally by accident capture the feel of a missing link between cds and the spinning rings. I would love to be able to do a new remake and utilize the better tech from today and try and recapture the look and feel of the older films cast, that would be a remake worth making and watching
Can't really criticize a movie produced in 1959 for that. This was all done with purely optical processing. Disneys famous sodium vapor process wasn't invented yet, so it's basically the same process that was in use since the early 40s.

I know this movie is a bit dated but there's still something incredibly eerie about those air raid sirens blasting in futuristic 1966...
It's still a classic
It was probably their way of predicting the rest of the Cold War, after all this movie was made in 1961 the Cold War just started
Laser space bombings. Satellites. H.G. Wells was a clairvoyant.
Dude, air raid sirens are the scariest sound on the planet

Good film. I loved how the Manequin is a benchmark for the changes,
I always find it interesting how space changes over time. For example when I first moved in my house in 1994 my room had barely anything in it and now the room is crowded and has a somewhat built up appearance where full shelves occupy most of the empty space.
And people die and we inherit things and more junk gathers and we don't have enough space.
And to think 1917 was just a bit over 40 years ago and WW2 being 20, it's jaw dropping how much it changed in just that small amount of time. Also the mechanical defect turning into gunfire was a genius transition, indeed a timeless film.

Oh but that would be an "upgrade" according to vegans. At least they aren't relying on factory farming anymore!

This was still the 1950s, not even 1960 (only released then).
At 2:47, my thoughts are that those Underground Air Raid Shelters were probably going to be Morlock Wells in the future.
Skarthi Thorgils I’m guessing the whips were originally used by the wardens, or when they evolved into the Morlocks they could have made them for use when making the Eloi go in their underworld to eat them.
That's what I always wondered about this movie LOL
I mean, if he was buried in a wall of cooled molten rock I can't see anyone else getting out of the shelters!!

It would make sense for natural selection to change people into something completely different in a subterranean environment.

One of my favourite films to watch when i was young such a classic
This was a great George Pal production and Rod Taylor will forever be George the Time Traveler!
Time is going by so fast that sometimes I feel as though I'm in a time machine. 2022 already.
What a handsome man Rod Taylor was💕😍
My head cannon is that this timeline is set in the same universe as 1984.
And this is the same nuclear war of Fahrenheit 451.
Loved how the movie studio recycled everything.The air raid warden uniforms were the uniforms created for the movie Forbidden Planet.

"Future" 1966 had "tubeless" TVs, well they got that one right, albeit a few decades early.
Not High definition though so a bit of a let down :)
What? No hoverboards? Oops, getting this mixed up with another SYFY franchise from the 80s.
This part always freaked me out.
Yeah me too
August 18 1966 was the Battle of Long Tan in Vietnam by Aussie and Kiwi troops. Because of this battle, August 18th is Vietnam Veteran's Day in Aus and NZ.
Maybe that was the thing that triggered the nuclear war in this timeline. The Vietnam war got worse.

Those air raid sirens were going on for days when he started hearing those high pitched air raid noise.
