My wife and I decided to go see The Day the Earth Stood Still , which, based on reviews, we expected to be radically green. But it is much more than that. Earth pushes the mantra of deepest ecology: Humans are the literal enemy of Earth, which, the script strongly implies, is a living entity. At the very least, the message of the movie is that our moral value is no greater than that of shrimp and squid, and that while we have some virtues—classical music being one—the earth is better off with us either obliterated out of existence or rendered completely untechnological.
Today’s Hollywood reflects the cultural views of the left and the left has gone insanely anti-human. This misanthropic nihilism is usually implied between the lines, but it is the unequivocal and explicit massage of The Day the Earth Stood Still .
