113 OP
(Anonymous) 2008-12-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)The plot of the 50s original doesn't really apply today. It was made during the Cold War, and issues that were important then -- like confusion about nuclear power, and going into space for the first time -- are not the same today. Likewise, the message in the original, (Don't bring your nuclear power into space, because we don't like fighting.) wouldn't be well received today.
So they "updated" it to have modern issues. The environmental crisis right now seems pretty logical to me, anyway. There have been a lot of movies lately with the same message (see: WALL-E, The Happening). I thought this movie pulled it off pretty well without being too preachy.
As for the "This is not your planet." thing, I think he was implying that he thought the planet doesn't BELONG to anyone.
Anyway, all my personal opinions. Haha.
Re: 113 OP
Yes, actually, the message DOES apply today. We still have nukes, and many more countries--some of them very volatile--that have them. And we're actually going further into space than before; and have space stations... so that part applies just as well, if not moreso.
The environmental crisis right now seems pretty logical to me, anyway
According to WIki, the plot of this movie involves the idea that:
"humans shall be exterminated so the planet – with its rare ability to sustain complex life – can survive"
Yeah, that's pretty much bullshit. We can't destroy the damn planet, no matter what we do. Even if we changed the environment so WE couldn't survive on it, other lifeforms could, and the PLANET ITSELF would be just fine. So this is just a crappy argument made by people who confuse "environment" with "planet".
