What strikes you about the film?
What really struck me about the film was the complete distrust from the United States to any foreign things. When the alien came to Earth, and basically as soon as the alien got out of the ship, the United States military shot it, even after it had said that is meant no harm. This film showed how much the Cold War affected the United States. Their fear of communism instilled complete distrust to basically anything foreign. At one point in the movie when the radio was on, talking about the alien, and all of the people in the house were downstairs, the grandmother said, "I bet it's from them." In this scene the grandmother was talking about the Russians. When she said them, she said it with a tone of complete disgust.
