How's that for a first line?
That's how The Day the Earth Stood Still begins. Unfortunately, the alien, Klatuu, is greeted by the earthlings with fear and then violence. He is taken to a hospital, but he escapes and lives among the humans for awhile. He has a purpose for his visit to earth. He has come to warn us about our ways. Earth is on its way to self destruction unless it learns to live in peace. He also tells what his people have done to ensure peace on their planet. There was a remake of this movie in 2008, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly. I haven't seen it, but now that I've seen the original, I just might make it a point to.
Sadly, Klatuu's message is still as true today as it was back then. A classic must see.
