Forbidden Planet (1956)

Forbidden Planet is a 1956 American science fiction film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, produced by Nicholas Nayfack, and directed by Fred M. Wilcox from a script by Cyril Hume that was based on an original film story by Allen Adler and Irving Block. It stars Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielsen. Shot in Eastmancolor and CinemaScope, it is considered one of the great science fiction films of the 1950s, a precursor of contemporary science fiction cinema. The characters and isolated setting have been compared to those in William Shakespeare's The Tempest, and the plot contains certain analogues to the play, leading many to consider it a loose adaptation.

Forbidden Planet pioneered several aspects of science fiction cinema. It was the first science fiction film to depict humans traveling in a faster-than-light starship of their own creation. It was also the first to be set entirely on another planet in interstellar space, far away from Earth.The Robby the Robot character is one of the first film robots that was more than just a mechanical "tin can" on legs; Robby displays a distinct personality and is an integral supporting character in the film. Outside science fiction, the film was groundbreaking as the first of any genre to use an entirely electronic musical score, courtesy of Bebe and Louis Barron.

Forbidden Planet's effects team was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects at the 29th Academy Awards. In 2013, the picture was entered into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, being deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Tony Magistrale describes it as one of the best examples of early techno-horror.[11]

Forbidden Planet is an American sci-fi adventure techno-horror movie produced by Nicholas Nayfack and directed by Fred Wilcox, released theatrically by Metro Goldwyn Meyer in 1956. The film follows the events of a starship crew travelling to a distant planet's colony to investigate inactivity. Once there, they discover two survivors and a dark secret. The film also features Robby the Robot, one of the first examples of a famous robot in Hollywood, who would later appear in other movies and shows. Forbidden Planet serves as an inspiration towards the FMP due to it’s settings and characters, but mainly due to the poster, which is one of the most iconic movie posters of the 20th century, and can serve as an inspiration for how I do a poster for Aphrodite.

It’s a smart strategy, one that can be leveraged through the book’s excellent discussion guide. Instead, they portray Brian’s situation as a matter of groupthink that can be rebooted through small steps. Ludwig and Barton understand classroom dynamics (Barton is especially good at portraying how children gauge the attitude of their peers and act accordingly) and wisely refrain from lecturing readers or turning Justin into Brian’s savior. Justin, a new student, is introduced to the class and things seem to turn around for Brian. Brian is a quiet student and his classmates don’t notice him much.
