I am listening to this for the first time for college online and it is very interesting and such a different way to read and entertain I was never big on radio shows or audio books but it is kind of fun to just listen and imagine for yourself what the people would look like and Mars and the deserted towns and hills. That is actually really cool and something I will do more of now that I have tried it! I love anything that makes you use your imagination.
I'm watching this for school and I love it!! I loved the story because sci-fi is my favorite genre. It's so great to be able to listen to the sound effects and really enhance my imagination. Love Ray Bradbury!
😢 This story should be a wake-up call for us. It reminds me of how our society is slowly deteriorating as we let our standards drop year by year. Like the frogs that were boiled alive without giving any resistance, because the water temperature was increased just one degree at a time. Atheism is taught in our schools and in the media, and the absurd is being accepted as truth. We seem to have forgotten that our safety lies in the virtue of our lives, and our strength lies in our righteousness. God has made it clear that if we will not forsake Him, He will not forsake us. Now is the time to repent and return to that God who made us free, and break the bands of iniquity that are making us complacent and careless. Faith must be nurtured daily, or it will wither and die.
Ray Bradbury had a special way of looking at the world. I've loved him since I read "The Illustrated Man." Wonderful stories with a haunting atmosphere. Also like Something wicked this way Comes.'
Terrifying. To change so completely that you forget ever having been the other way. Forget that no Earth woman *ever* had yellow eyes, that it's alien, that you're alien now. Thinking it's totally normal to have different colored eyes now, totally normal for your children to change their names. To be afraid of how you're changing, how the world is changing around you, and you're the one one who cares. And you're starting to care less than you did..... The only thing to fear is the *lack* of fear itself.
I'm 30, and I've been listening to OTR since I was around 5 y/o, and now I collect them. I've heard thousands. Literally thousands. This is still one of the best episodes, of one of the best runs of a small lived show ever. It's so deeply nuanced and layered with symbolism of Mars from The Martian Chronicles. One of the best adaptations of a story to fit its time so perfectly. But also feels timeless. Such a rare feat.
"Such odd, such ridiculous houses the Earth people built." "They didn't know any better. Such ugly people, I'm glad they've gone." "Gone? Where did they go?" "I don't know."
I first read this story in school, and while it's beautifully creepy (and haunted me for years), what I wondered then is what I wonder now: what the hell happened to the original Martians?
Probably more than any of the other B13 episodes, this story just couldn't work the same as a television episode or a movie. When Harry looks at the peach blossoms and says they're different, we don't know whether it's actually true, or if the morbid thoughts of isolation and alienation are preying on his mind. Granted the cow growing a horn is fairly definite, but everything else might just be in his head; we can't know anything for sure, because we're not seeing what's actually there. Only a text or audio story can accomplish this effect. This is one of the reasons why audio as a storytelling medium will never completely die, no matter how good the video media become.
The Wind is a masterful tale of emotional terror, but this is the most intellectually horrifying tale I can recall ever hearing. It's so subtle, so insidious; instead of a story of death and danger, it's a creeping existential threat, one which strips its victims of their very desire to defend themselves against the destruction of their very identity. At the end, their own smiling faces are the grave markers for their original lives. Absolutely bone-chilling.
"Dad, I want to change my name." "what do you want to change it to?" "Linnl!" *What the hekk kind of name is that* "Sure." edit: did anyone else's start 16 mins in?
yes i did watch this in 7th grade but is anyone gonna talk about how this is so much like the twilight zone? like the music and everything. it’s super cool i love the original twilight zones and i’m watching it right now:)
Stephen King is very talented, but Ray Bradbury is my favourite storyteller of all time. Not just his sci-fi and fantasy either. Dandelion Wine is fantastic!
It is interesting how Bradbury invoked your thinking not by being so much a prophet of Sci Fi but by using fantasy to make you think. This is the ultimate of what if scenarios where the people who come to Mars literally become Martians. I believe in the one story I think it was called the Million Year Picnic it simply says those who come to Mars will become the Martians. In this case there is a physical change that comes with it.
Oh man, I hope this is just happy evolution and not The Color Out of Space. It's pretty cool so many of you came here because you got to read this in school. For us Tennessee kids it was probably the Bell Witch.
13:30 that creepy chord progression is in like every one of the original twilight zone episodes... the melody notes are 6 4 2 1 or 3 6 1 5 ?? I am not a pianist so i cant figure out the harmonies
It's curious how the distance from Earth to Mars is stated here as 65M miles, when "The Sound of Thunder" inaccurately states that the dinosaurs were alive only 55M years ago. In this case it isn't necessarily a mistake; the distance between planets varies as they orbit independently, and the range is estimated as being anywhere from 39M to 250M, averaging 140M. So 65M is unusually close, but by no means abnormal. Still, most people seeing that specific number will think about the extinction of the dinosaurs, and since Ray wrote about dinosaurs almost as often as about Mars, I wonder if the number was picked specifically to suggest that humans are doomed as the dinosaurs once were. Probably I'm overanalyzing it.....
I read this in 7th grade and it's stayed with me--haunted me--ever since. Something about it is just eerie and hypnotizing.
It still deeply touches me.
Me im in 7 rn
thats what im doing now
If you're not read Flowers for Algernon, I'd recommend that. Don't read the novelization, do NOT watch the film, read the original short story.
@@goatednugget5782 Same lol my teacher's making me watch it
Everyone is so specific about this for grade 7, but they ain’t wrong
Must've been part of the curriculum. I wish I had it in 7th, would've Loved it! It was made for (or by) NPR.

I missed the move they put in class (7th grade) so now I'm looking for what they watched, I am never going to the nurse again😂
This is one of my favorites by Mr Bradbury! Simple using the mine and a good imagination is a plus! Very relaxing to me!!
taught this to my 7th graders years ago, absolutely LOVED IT!
Brown Bear you migth have been my middle school teacher. Beacause I remember a middle school teacher putting these on cassette.

Kitty Kat agreed
I was mad when I had to listen, but it brought the story alive. So fun to listen to an old serial-type presentation.
I agree. This story's amazing!
Stay golden. Or become golden.
Hi is there somewhere to watch this? It is really eerie and has a message for us earthlings
A great writer of very thought-provoking and cautionary tales, story-telling in a flowing, poetic style, His writings are always a good read.
I wouldn't exactly call Bradbury a "great writer". I like some of his stories, but some are degrading and trashy.
@Fred-mp1vf Thank you. I haven't read all his works.
I've listened to this one a lot over the last few years. One of my favourite adaptations of Ray's stories.

this story is creepy and scary....
especially the end
I love it. They became one with their planet, as it should be.
i have to read AND analyze this 30 minute videos 1 DAY before it's due. THANKS A LOT ELA TEACHER

The story "There Will Come Soft Rains" will always stick with me.
Thank You Ray Bradbury! You could always take what might have been another good story and make it into something epic! :)

I've been listening to the 13 since the mid 80s. My aunt recorded them on her boom box from Maine public radio . The whole family had copies of them.
I had the original cassette tapes of this production. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Im here because im watching this in school and im bored so this is why im typing this lol I hate school and im in 7th grade its the worst
yeah i need a movie, i cant just listen to audio. Its 2019 so this is doodoo to me
This is one of the best books I have ever listened to
I am in the 7th grade in Saudi Arabia’s and surprised that people from around the world are having it too
One of my two favorite Bradbury 13s. :-)
Stuck in online learning so I'm watching this LOL

I wondered the same thing!
Read the Martian Chronicles or listen or watch by Ray Bradbury. He tells you what happened to the Martians.
they could be humans that came to mars before but turned into martians and probably died
If you get any ideas on what happened to them let me know I'm thinking they left
Hi i am from 2020 ........ watching this because i have test tomorrow grade 7 I HOPE THAT I DO GOOD IN THE QUIZ AND GET FULL MARK
I hope you do well on your test. This is one time you get to study with your eyes closed. ;)

watching this for school
9 years since I first picked up a Ray Bradbury book.
Definitely my favorite.
we just learned about this in 7th grade lol so I came to check it out more.
We were reading this story in class today..got a test on it tomorrow..btw great story!!!
Interesting debate. I'd agree with the 'evolved-earthling' contenders.
my class had this whole debate on wether the earthlings were hijacked or if they evolved
This was scary and awesome at the same time a little bit of changes you know
Here I am watching this in quarantine for grade 7
I read this story long long ago. I wished I could go then. I haven't changed my mind.

Nahh, 2020 now✌
Probably the first science fiction story I ever read when I was about 12. Loved it then love it still.
the only thing that can forestall the terror of slowly becoming martian is a "nice earth breakfast," made by carla.
Continental breakfast at that
wunderbar!!
This sounds like something you would hear on the fallout new vegas radio
Bit creepy at parts, but that was only because of the way they were talking. Great story. not my number one, but great story.
