As relevant as ever

Hi Everyone,
It occurred to me that if Klato and Gort came to Earth today they would find the situation even worse than it was in 1951. Three times the population and three times the problems...very depressing. Klato and Gort...we need you now...!

I sooo agree, rsgre.

Can't we survive together on this planet with a little more civility?!

I'm watching it now for 243 millionth time. And you are SO right. Especially now.

Klaatu barada nikto.

...And hurry!!

(Civility would be pleasant, but what we really need to do is stop hating and killing each other.)

I too was thinking how relevant this film still is as I watched it on Saturday. Although I think that Klato was more interested in what danger the earthlings posed to other planets rather our squabbles with each other.

Absolutely! It's more relevant today than ever. Did the producer have a crystal ball? I just watched this film today and was totally awed by it. Great movie!
