I remember seeing this movie during my childhood back in the early 50s. Out of all the sci fy movies in the 50s. This one has stayed with me. It was the best. Great special effects for it's time. Music also great it's time.😷🇺🇸
My favorite would be Forbidden Planet .. The screens were big back then so you really got a better visual effect .. The music was so different in '56 compared to other movies
@@thomasnorton2141 I swear I'm not *trying* to be an asshole, but it bothers me that someone who got to his mid 70's never learned the difference between ''it's'' and ''its''.
Thank you so much for recording and posting this. Absolutely MASTERFUL re-creation of Bernard Herman's OUTSTANDING musical score. I saw this picture as a seven-year old, and I still consider it a masterpiece that has many imitators but no duplicates. In addition to this spine-tingler, Bernard Herman composed MANY outstanding (several award-winning) film scores and a number of radio and TV compositions.. Among his credits: The Devil and Daniel Webster Psycho North by Northwest The Man Who Knew Too Much Vertigo Citizen Kane Anna and the King of Siam The Ghost and Mrs. Muir Cape Fear Fahrenheit 451 Taxi Driver The Twilight Zone Have Gun Will Travel
As a small child this is one of THE FIRST MOVIES I ever saw in a mopvie theater... BELIEVE ME.. scenes like this and the apprearance of GORT left a Huge-UNFOTGETTABLE Impression on my young mind...!!!! I STILL remember my emotional reaction ALL THESE YEARS Later... VERY Cool Video... TWO-THUMBS Up... : )
The day the Earth still from 1951 directed by Robert Wise starring Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal science fiction masterpiece excellent music score by Bernard Herrmann
In the book that Harry Bates wrote, "Farewell to the Master", the name of the robot was Gnut, and he was the Master; the ship was ovoid. This video did change a lot of things. At the very end of the book, it's written: «You misunderstand. I am the master».
I wonder if Edmund North, the screenwriter, realized before he died that he had composed the most famous phrase in sci-fi movie history, and it wasn't even English.
Well done. I thought the part was too loud where Patricia Neal approaches Gort from a distance and he's still melting the Lucite block. If it's quieter there, the next part, where he starts moving, has more impact.
Gort, Klaatu Barada Nikto....My brain ain't workin that good anymore, but funny I could remember those great words. Do you know the translation? I have not been able to stand Propaganda TV in the past few years, cause even the Golf and Weather channel are political pawns, but Thanks...I really needed that entertainment relief from the past. One of my Mom's fav SciFi's too. :)
We have a similar problem where I live. The one saying in a 'foreign' language I can always remember is from the 1981 film Excalibur. A chant by Helen Mirren which went as follows... 'Annal nadrachff, uthos besudd, dochyer dienvy'.

This really changes the sound of the "music" .. Even more creepy than in the movie .. Back in the '50s this movie and Forbidden Planet were both ground breakers for their music special effects .. I remember see both movies and that was when there were big screens / cinemascope ..
@@gregorymccollum9107 I salute you sir for your respect of copyright, a very rare thing to see. I have a question though, this film is so old now is it actually still protected by copyright after such a long time? I hadnt seen this scene since I was about 7! My god that robot scared the crap outta me back then
@@fastair8546 All I can say is that the movie has been "monetized" on RUclips which indicates to me that someone owns a license. Music is not an issue as copyright holders get a cut of advertizing $. If one gets a copyright violation too many times on RUclips one can kicked off, so I am usually very careful about this.

@@xadam2dudex I agree. Special effects were awesome for it's time. A real to robot (Robbie).
Gort scared me to death as a kid. Had nightmares and still at 70,shudder when I think of this scene.

Thank you for sharing this memory. I love hearing the thoughts and feelings of those who lived these things in their original form.
What were your reactions as a child? We're you scared or excited or fascinated--or some combination?
@@bluewater3783 CAN'T
REMEMBER.....I FAINTED! 😁
@@ammo8713 😳😊😂
Same here. I saw it when first released. I was about five.
WOW! Great work! I felt the same shivers as when I saw it for the first time!
Give this guy an award! 🏆
Excellent work on the music/sound. Very, very cool "emulation" of the theremin.
TIMELESS movie.. thanks 👍🇳🇿
Gort is perfection
The day the Earth still from 1951 directed by Robert Wise starring Michael Rennie and Patricia Neal science fiction masterpiece excellent music score by Bernard Herrmann
Best movie ever how true unfortunately we don't work together for world peace Gort is my hero we badly need him
I agree. But I think if we did have Gort he would probably have to destroy us all sooner or later.
In the book that Harry Bates wrote, "Farewell to the Master", the name of the robot was Gnut, and he was the Master; the ship was ovoid. This video did change a lot of things. At the very end of the book, it's written: «You misunderstand. I am the master».
They dindnt make enough of Gort in the remake.
I was later switched rerun in 60s still great .
I said these exact words to my math professor on final exam day!
He said he saw the movie and it wasn't going to work.
HA! Nice try. I would have given you an "A".
Great movie. Much better than the remake.
This is wonderful rendition of the score. Deeper with more emotional impact then the orchestra.
I had no idea thats where the words from Evil Dead come from! 😅
Hi Greg. I remember i had that creepy feeling with this moovie and this haunting sound in the music. Go on.
I bet if a few of these robots roamed the planet Earth human would most definitely get them some act right🤔
Masterpiece
Those guards having the sudden realization that they should have gone to work at gas stations or hauling trash instead of joining the Army.
Klaatu Barada _Coughs and splutters_ necktie
This was the inspiration of Starman from the Mother games.
WHEN GORT RAISES HIS
VISOR......YOU'RE IN A HEAP
OF TROUBLE BOY ! 😁👍
The two armed sentries were definitely rendered " Missing In Action " !!! ( YIKES )
Listen doll, he was only being friendly
That lady had more balls than I have. I would have been scared shitless!!!
I spent the last part of the movie trying to remember "Gort; Klaatu Barada Nikto"!
But you do know, it's only a movie.
@@edwardsyrek6737
REALLY?🤔. Thank God I was really worried.
Sci-fi, mystery, thriller, drama, comedy, political commentary, in 1951
The originals are still the best!
I wonder if Edmund North, the screenwriter, realized before he died that he had composed the most famous phrase in sci-fi movie history, and it wasn't even English.
If I ever make a sci-fi film. You would be the first one I would call to do the music score.
Thanks, but I am a performer not a writer. Herrmann was the genius.
Well done.
I thought the part was too loud where Patricia Neal approaches Gort from a distance and he's still melting the Lucite block. If it's quieter there, the next part, where he starts moving, has more impact.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a very hard time mixing and getting the volumes correct.
@@gregorymccollum9107: 's OK.
"Klatu - Barrada - Nicto". I hope I made myself fucking clear !
Klatu boravi nigde.. In Slavic language means.. Klatu lives nowhere.. Or everywhere
Much more than I ever knew.
"Nicto", I always thought that was a reference to nicotine. She was telling the robot to smoke a cigarette and relax. I am just kidding!
Gort never killed anybody in this movie or anyone since as far as we know!
What about the two soldiers that were evaporated when he broke out of the plastic box? Just asking.
Acceptable losses, they don't count!
Collateral damage.

Translation from Klaatu's Pocket Dictionary: "Dear Gort,

Means "Peace be Still"
Nick Toe!!! I think she said it wrong and should have been turned to dust lol! I believe Klaatu said Nick Toooo
She said it correctly. She said it just with an Earth accent.
They had computers in the 50’s?

I mixed it on my computer.
