STUDIO SYNOPSIS:
"The Day the Earth Stood Still" is 20th Century Fox's contemporary reinvention of its 1951 classic. Keanu Reeves portrays Klaatu, an alien whose arrival on our planet triggers a global upheaval. As governments and scientists race to unravel the mystery behind the visitor's appearance, a woman (Jennifer Connelly) and her young stepson get caught up in his mission – and come to understand the ramifications of his being a self-described "friend to the Earth."

SPIRITUAL POINT OF VIEW
(continued from the visual review)
IN THE MIDST OF CRISIS —COMPASSION! Thurgood Marshall once said, “The measure of a country's greatness is its ability to retain compassion in times of crisis.” And, it is this measure of compassion that Klaatu experiences through Helen. It changes his plans to annihilate the world. In the midst of crisis —compassion! And compassion leads to change —change-of-heart, change-of-direction! The essence of TDTESS is this universal truth which is at the center of all good religions and philosophies! And, every good human, alien or otherwise! When we finally love our neighbor, and love our enemies the earth will truly stand still.
