Interesting Movie Quotes

The phrase is a stereotypical phrase that has been used when it comes to aliens and any other matter that concerns them. Though the true origins of the words is totally unknown, there have been early references to such phrases as early as 1647 when people began to realize the possibility of there being other intelligent beings out there in the universe which was subject to growing interest in those very years. In the works of John Milton, Paradise Lost, there was a notion of the concept when the angel discusses with man the possibility of life on the moon.
The phrase may have been concocted by the many famed movie makers and writers for it instills fear and curiosity that the words “Take me to your leader” has been so much a part of most science fiction films that deal with aliens and the supernatural. Scientists are just beginning to study the possibility of sentient life on other planets like the earth amidst the billions of stars that are in the universe. There may indeed be such life though not in the forms and shapes we expect them. SETI has been constantly working to find signs of such intelligent life feom space by listening through large radio telescopes for signals that may have meaning. Though no solid facts have been ironed out, the mere statistics of the universe and the many other stars which may have such planets as the earth is a truly enticing idea indeed.

Another remake of a classic, the movie has aliens and machines that are meant to destroy the earth using alien technology far advanced than what we have on earth. Though greatly expanded on, the movie has environmentally conscious beings who travel to earth bringing with them technology we can only dream of. Curiosity is quickly turned to fear as that technology turns against us disintegrating anything on contact. The original story had humongous giants sent to earth to kill everything that moves. Klaatu played by Keanu Reeves, is an alien who is dressed as a human sent to study the people and culture of this earth trying to study and learn as much as he can. Gort is an indestructible alien which does all the destroying takes clues from Klaatu as to what to do, created to patrol the universe to keep the peace. Klaatu dies in the end but not after passing down the words “Klaatu Barada Nichto” which is to be spoken to Gort to stop him from killing off the human race.

The outline for Wall-E looks somewhat like this: “Disney and Pixar join forces for this computer-animated tale about a wide-eyed robot that travels to the deepest reaches of outer space in search of a newfound friend.” The year is 2700, and planet Earth has long been uninhabitable. For hundreds of years, WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) has been taking out the trash, and collecting precious knick-knacks in order to stave off the monotony of his dreary routine. Little does WALL-E realize that he has recently stumbled onto a secret that could save planet Earth, and once again make the ravaged planet safe for all humanity. When highly advanced search robot EVE makes friends with WALL-E and realizes the value of his remarkable discovery, she excitedly races back to let the humans know that there’s hope for their home planet after all. But after centuries alone in the world, WALL-E can’t stand the thought of losing the only friend he’s ever known, and eagerly follows her into the deepest reaches of space on the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, the friendly trash-collecting robot who has always known what he was made for gradually begins to understand what he was meant for.

This is the most excellent film of 2008 so far, and if Wall-E doesn’t get listed for Best Picture (not just the cheap cop-out Best Animated Picture) then I’m going to throw a total fit. This is a beautiful, smart, touching, hilarious and damn cute movie that I’m going to see at least 4 more times in the theatre. It is the best film Pixar has ever made in my opinion… and the most complete one too. I appreciated this movie.

The Sci-Fi/Action Thriller, The Terminator has produced some macho quotes that have found a good place in today�s everyday repertoire of spoken words. The Terminator 1, gave us the quote that started it all, “I�ll Be Back”, spoken by the android, who traveled back in time to correct the past for a better future T1. In the next film The Terminator 2 came a newer and better quote, “Hasta La Vista Baby”, that again stuck and is used by many for many a guys needing a macho exit from tricky situations.
As we can see, these quotes are added to our everyday phrases as if they were already there however unknowingly. We tend to re-live the moment when placed in a situation that was similar to or that evoked the same feeling. Some even use it as punch lines to break the ice. I mean for whatever reason that the said quote stuck it’s there to stay.
