Secretary of Defense: Why have you come to our planet?
    Klaatu: Your planet?

The Day the Earth Stood Still was an interesting movie.  I do remember having seen the original on a classic movies channel sometime back.  Keanu Reeves again makes with the minimalist dead-pan and milks a lot of drama without much being dramatic as the alien invader Klaatu.

The original involved Klaatu and his robot coming the Earth to call for the end of war, Without unveiling this movie’s plotline, there is a presumption in this movie that the human race is only willing to step up to being heroic after having already walked out to “the precipice.”

   But, Klaatu’s question of “your planet?” does haunt.  What is truly counted as our possessions? And what is our responsibility  for stewardship of those possessions?
