The Day the Earth Stood Still & Other Classic SF… door Harry Bates

I listened to the radio play of this short story and while I was having a lot of fun with the production and the actors, it became very clear to me that this was NOT the same story as the one Harry Bates wrote. It's more like Hollywood got a hold of it and shook some nonsense into it. :)

I DID have a bit of fun with it tho. That's about all I can say about that. B-movie nonsense.

Oh, and the master is gonna come and slap you silly if you don't behave. :)

Farewell to the Master door Harry Bates

The story that one of my favorite films, The Day the Earth Stood Still, is based on. The movie's better and much different from the story, but it's definitely worth a read, just to see the origin. It's a decent, page-turning read, but the ending doesn't make a lot of sense, and the tale doesn't really hold up to much analysis.

Read the story, but then watch the movie!

Farewell to the Master door Harry Bates

Surprising story. The film bore no resemblance to this at all.

The Day the Earth Stood Still & Other Classic SF… door Harry Bates

Saw the trailer for the new movie and got curious. I love the short story, Farewell to the Master, which is what the movies were based on - VERY loosely, I must say. Like so many short stories that get turned into movies, a simple, elegant tale is turned into an action flick full of political strife and explosions. (Well, there was at least one explosion in the story too.) But the message of the short story is so entirely different from either movie. The moral figures in the movies are us, as the human race. The aliens say "clean up your act or you'll be destroyed." The moral figures in the story are the aliens themselves - earth's destruction is never in the picture at all.… (meer)
