In Reply to: RE: I'd like to add "Forbidden Planet" as a curio, and feel that "Alien"... posted by mpathus on March 20, 2011 at 11:30:11
Which would be more impressive in the amp forum I suppose.
The fantastic aural effects and basic concept of the out of control Id raise "Forbidden Planet" to a level above a curio, technicolor extravaganza methinks.
It hasn't aged all that well, but I'll bet the affect in the theater upon release was as impressive as
"Alien" was 23 years later (minus the "horror" aspect).
Tinear seems to be the only one around here that doesn't (can't?, won't?) appreciate Alien for the
masterpiece it is.

Follow Ups:
...that I loved was that it gave us a strong female protagonist.
No funky buns, long dresses or rescue needed.
Forbidden Planet scared the crap out of me when I was young. I still think it holds up well, a classic. We'd certainly never have had Star Trek as it was without it.
I loved the music/soundscapes in Forbidden Planet as well - very forward thinking and new.
I guess the 50's view that space has beauty is lost in more modern dystopian films.
Art stands the test of time.
Its interesting, but not all that hot on its own.
