[bobodd5]

[sockington1]

tbhis is strange - I try to find the next part and I get some prat babbling a load of shite - what's going on ?

[animeghostgirl7]

i wanna live on a planet where diamonds is used as money XD

[sockington1]

@animeghostgirl7 you'll need pretty strong and indestructible pockets

Andy Griffith raided this movie. The boyfriend and the single man at the breakfast table were both on Andy a few times. And of course, Aunt Bea. This picture proves that Frances Bavier was fat all her life. And Billy Gray wound up on Father Knows Best as Bud, the son. NO WARS! Yeah, that's a good idea. Can you imagine putting all your money, time and knowledge in making the Earth a better place instead of fighting each other. Why do people fight so much? Why can't we take of each other?

[kenanscott24]

It's ironic that they are fearful of the space man but when he walks amongst them, they treat him like everyone else.

[JerichoDitch2]

Hi..I'm a total stranger ..can I escort your 10 year old son around without supervision ?/ sure, no problem, what could go wrong ?

[ttt8699]

Who's the smartest? Funny Einstein wasn't mentioned. He was still alive in 1951

[Adideva01]

Substitute fear for REASON!

[csmcmillion]

Where are parts 1 and 2?

[yellolab09]

Notice how the newscaster took the microphone away when he got the response to his questions about being afraid... When the alien says.." Well, I am fearful when i see people substituting fear for reason"..and then, just like fox news does now...he takes the mike away..because the goal is to stoke fear..not courage..and to not tape or broadcast anything intelleigent that's not based in fear

[KMSigler]

@yellolab09 So let me get this straight...

You see an actor playing a newsreporter who's being completely unreasonable (who, by the way, was WRITTEN to be unreasonable) and you automatically start the mud throwing at FOX? Unecessary. Just enjoy a classic film- don't start acting agenda driven, it makes you look like an internet troll.

[jay55also]

why is it,that movies can't be made like most of the ones 50 , 60 years ago? Get a decent story,get some decent actors,special effects,that's not a problem. Just don't over do it.

[HenryJonesWest]

If the kid is a longtime Washington resident,

why is he a Yankee's fan and not a Senators fan?

(He wears a NY baseball cap)

[MzSunnyJeep]

@HenryJonesWest Might be like a lot of the Lions fans. You'll see them in Chicago, Green Bay or Minnesota jersey's. If they wear something Detroit Lions related, it would probably be a bag over their heads

[yellolab09]

@HenryJonesWest

Are you kidding? do you know what kind of team the yankees had back then... the nation was filled with yankee fans..and I'm from boston

[yellolab09]

@HenryJonesWest Lots of kids loved theYankees. They had Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi berra, Phil Rizzuto..etc and no steroids. Geez.

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

This movie can still make my hair stand on end.

[VioletTeen17]

I hate how the new movie changed the meaning of this story, it went from an anti war message to a save the earth message....

[ThoughtTraveler]

Breakfast at a Boarding House in 1953. They are eating off of Fine China and have Sterling Silver Salt/Pepper shakers and Coffee Urn. AND they are wearing 3 piece suits to Breakfast.

.

Did people really dress and eat like this in the USA at one time?

.

Maybe have been so Ghettoed down that we do not know what refined dining is any more.

.

We all eat and act like ANIMALS in the 21st century. For example, I eat in my sweats...to hell with a 3 piece suit.

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@ThoughtTraveler I was the age of the kid in this movie when it came out. It (sort of) depicts the America of my childhood... or, rather, how it was supposed to be. People dressed like that to 'go downtown' to a movie or church. Maybe in a boarding house they dressed like that. But even boarding houses were old-fashioned by the early 50s. This movie is made in such a way as to focus the viewer on world peace, rather than on race, crime, class, 'niceness,' bad manners, etc.

[ThoughtTraveler]

@Axgoodofdunemaul

You mentioned how people tended to dress up in the 50s of your childhood?

.

Can you imagine eating breakfast in a Boarding House in 2010? You would be sitting across from a 350 pound woman wearing a tank top, flip flops, spandex shorts, numerous Tattoos, and talking like Larry the Cable Guy.

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@ThoughtTraveler I forgot to say how much I laughed at your description of the 350 pound woman. My girlfriend laughed too when I read it to her. Very good! And right on!

[ThoughtTraveler]

@Axgoodofdunemaul

LOL! I am glad you both had a good laugh. It would be great to have dinner with you guys and have a long talk about how it was in the "good old days". I wish you and your girlfriend peace and prosperity!

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@ThoughtTraveler I was a kid in the early 50s when this came out, about the same age as the kid in the movie. It shows a cleaned up version of Washington DC in the 50s. This is the way we would have been if my mother had her way! People tended to dress like this to go out anywhere, to church, 'downtown,' etc. People didn't guard their kids the way they do now, and yes, there was more strolling around outside at night --- no air conditioning.

[ThoughtTraveler]

@Axgoodofdunemaul

Thanks for your reply. I read them with interest. You made some valid points. I guess I would ask how you would compare growing up in the 50s and how it is for kids now. I would have preferred growing up in the 50s myself.

.

I think you are right about the Boarding House. People could NOT have a Boarding House operating now in 2010 without the Boarders trying to shoot, kill, molest,rape or steal from each other.

[TedNewsom]

This is not public domain, bud. No way, no how. You're taking a major risk. It'd be best if you kept yourself to genuine public domain titles. Fox has a lot of oney for lawyers-- and they'd win. Just a word to the wise.

[usmctanks1]

Obivously Aunt Bea shortly after her stay in the Washington, and the trauma of the spaceship landing, decided to move to Mayberry.. Her Nephew and his son needed her...

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@usmctanks1 Yes, and Tom the boyfriend went on to become an FBI informer, which suits his disgusting personality. Is anybody but me old enough to remember the boring TV show 'I Was A Communist For The FBI?' I may have the name wrong. This same actor played Herbert Philbrick, commie-hunter.

[ddd1953]

I´m a little confused, perhaps you can enlighten me. How and is what way is this film PUBLIC DOMAIN?

Even if the studio chose not to renew their copyright, it still would not be public domain until the year 2021. Then the studio could renew the copyright for another 60 years.

nice try, bubb.

geesh, web lawyers...

[merrittolsen]

actually a law student at my university (columbia) told me it is 50 years (assuming i posed the question coreectly)..and with new drugs it is like 10 years..

[50zcarsman]

Boarding houses were especially common in D.C. during WWII and through the '50s. Tens of thousands of administrative and logistics workers had flooded into the city with nowhere else to stay, and the sizes of the military and civilian Gov't apparatus had shot up. The last of the many "temporary" office buildings erected on the National Mall durign the War didn't come down until the mid-1960s!

[Axgoodofdunemaul]

@50zcarsman You're right. By the time I was old enough to notice things (c. 1948), boarding houses were a thing of the past. They were where most single people lived (I guess, judging by the references to them in songs, comics, etc.) from about 1860 to about 1930. If one of us reached across the table for something instead of say "please pass the ___," my mother would make an acid comment about somebody's "boardinghouse reach."

[ThoughtTraveler]

Hard to believe that grown mature Adults and Families actually lived in Boarding Houses together in 1951.

The Demographics of our country have so changed in 60 years.

Maybe they should bring boarding houses back....it might work in the current economy.

[ChildishWonders]

That would be awesome :D Sadly, it's not safe in this day and age, that's the great thing about the 50's, you could trust people easier.

[ThoughtTraveler]

Yeah. You said it.

The woman in this movie let her young boy go with Klatu to the park while she went on a date. That would NEVER be acceptable now due to all of the evil perverts in this world.

Sad.

[SKATERCOMICS]

i am fearful when i see people substituting fear for reason

[pacnwcomre]

@TheRastaSamurai This movie is considered one of the 50 most influential movies in America. Great subject, relevant as hell(considering the nuclear annhilation that we were really looking at).....I actually fell asleep watching the new version. What a bad sequel.

[lamardarren]

@TheRastaSamurai actually, you dont have to have a partnership with utube or 1000 subs to upload vids longer than 10 minutes. I dont have those things but i can upload vids longer than 10m. But I will sub anyway.
