The Day the Earth Stood Still

I enjoyed the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. When it first started, I didn't think that I would like it due to my mostly unfounded bias towards not liking old movies, however now that the movie is over I realize that I just because a movie is old doesn't mean you cannot still relate to its characters and the plot themes. This new realization may open up a whole new world of movies that I might also enjoy that my Grandparents enjoyed in their day. I used to have the same bias towards older music. I never tried listening to the older bands like the Rolling Stones or The Beatles, because I thought that those were songs that my parents listened to when they were teenagers, so why would I enjoy them? However, once I started listening to these and other older bands I discovered that they still sing about the same themes as are sung about today.
I thought that though some of the mannerisms, outfits, and technology was oudated, the movie was still good. I have never seen the remake that came out recently and after hearing some of the comments made in class I don't think that I will see it.
