We watched the film Forbidden Planet the week of September 21. If you have comments about the film that you were not able to share through discussion or class notes, feel free to add them here.
I was gone on friday when we started the first haft of the movie so i dont really know the whole movies but from i did see it is kinda weird, i normally dont watch sci fi so.... I think that for a movie made back then, i think it is really well done but yet cheesey!
I think that this movie would have displayed extremely advanced technology back when it came out. But now a days it just seems really fake and cannot compare with todays technology. I thought it was weird how all the technolgy caused human eror (aka the monster.) They created a machine that creates things you think of, but the monster is the evil side of humanity. His mind creates this monster to kill off the soldiers that came in and messed up his perfect life. Morbius used this monster to get what he wanted in a way. Over all it was a cheesy movie, but well put together for the time period it was made.
I believe this movie was creative because it was the first science fiction movie made. It led to many other movies that took ideas from this film. It was cheesy and outdated but the point was made and I liked it.
It must have been really easy to entertain people back in the day, but when you compare it to today i am really impressed. I don't think the plot was very well done. The movie was still vague, at least to me, at the end. I didn't get the purpose of the whole movie. Like Sam said, other sci-fi producers took this movie and its ideas to make other more developed sci-fi movies.
So i just watched the movie alien and it made me laugh because so many ideas from this movie were used in the movie alien. For example when in the end of alien there is a self destruct lever on the ship. The ideo of landing onto a new planet as a rescue mission is also very similar in the fact that they go down to find something, the ship breaks or is sabatoged some how and then an alien attacks/boards the ship. Although the in the movie we watched in class there was no literal alien, the monster seemed alien enough considering the definition of an alien is something that is not human and is on another planet. Another similarity is that the alien in the movie alien was the "perfect specimen" and indistructable such as the monster seen in the movie we watched in class.
