The Day The Earth Stood Still... The name itself suggests something creepy about the movie. We all think that it's a sci-fi thriller and walk in the hall. But We are all disappointed. Even if you get free passes, the movie isn't worth the time you spend. It's nothing but crap.
But... there may be other ways of looking at it. Rather than considering the movie as a Sci-fi thriller look at it as a philosophical movie. All the aliens, there space-spheres(?), which incidentally look like blown up models of marbles I used to play as a kid, are a metaphor to all the evil things on the earth. The representative of The President of the United States (aka "the eyes and ears of the president and the vice-president") is a metaphor for ... The President of united States. Keanu Reeves is a metaphor to the UN and UNICEF etc. etc. who are hopelessly trying to establish peace. jennifer Conelly is a metaphor to few honest people going about their business without hurting anyone. The irritating kid represents the confused "rest of the world". With this frame of mind, if you watch the movie, it really isn't all that bad. Despite the funny iron-man, with a light bulb in his head, which disintegrates into alien bugs (the man not the bulb), the movie MAY still make some sense. So go and try to pretend to like it.

sensor networks....yeah right...:D....n u forgot 2 mention dat too....
After Abhi-shrek's comment I am going to propose my other theory as well. I am trying to (scientifically) explain the final scene where in the iron man disintegrates into alien-bugs (thats Abhi-shrek's term).
The iron man is actually a big chunk of sensor network nodes with some mechanical limbs. In their dormant state these sensor networks cling to each other to form the iron man. When activated, they attempt to solve the Hamiltonian path problem in parallel. The objective is to destroy everything in their path and come back to original place. In the closing scene while the sensor network nodes are executing their assigned task, Keanu Reeves sends a SIGKILL to shut them down. Now, considering current state of sensor network technology, this may notbe all that futuristic. Comments/criticisms are welcome!!!
hmm...so is solving the hamiltonian path in parallel == destroy everything in path and come back to original place....:D
waoh...iska matlab most ppl who do write those ACM papers on computational theory r basically plottin 2 one day benefit the sensor network community..n the overall picture is 2 consume anything n everythin in sight....oh n also btw...plz clarify wher do these alien bugs defecate...n wat do they defecate...
No they dont defecate... They fart .. so we cannot notice that in the movie.
