The Day the Earth Stood Still is a Robert Wise. Science fiction movies were very popular in the fifties and sixties. But this one has a very special atmosphere.
Peace is the message, brought by someone from another planet. Well, it is more than a message, it's a warning. World leaders must stop violence and wars. Or else...
American cinema is more fascinated by power and wars than peace and harmony. So, films like this have a stronger impact.
