Didactic ending of The Day the Earth Stood Still
by Critical Commons ManagerThe didactic ending of The Day the Earth Stood still culminates in a warning from outer space for humans to shape up or face destruction by an intergalactic police force of pitiless robots, a bizarre conflation of post-WWII Cold War rhetoric and technological triumphalism.
