I saw it with my dad when I was 6 years old and will never forget that saucer flying over the Capitol building, and how Gork made the guns go away.

"This is a black and white movie with a strong political message, and because this film is more about this timeless message than it is some science-fiction element derived from the period's understanding of science, it manages to avoid becoming mired in its own time. In fact, its urge for world peace in the midst of roiling international conflict is just as relevant today as it was back in the 1950's. Replace the scare of communist aggression with the fear of terrorist insurgency, and the fear of atomic weapons with the fear of weapons of mass destruction of all kinds, and the film could easily be telling us a tale set in the modern day. It requires only the slightest flexing of imagination to make that translation, and being a science-fiction film, we're encouraged to use that imagination already."
