I grabbed a few DVDs from the local thrift store this week but I didn't notice this was a "bootleg" until I got home.

Somebody put a lot of effort into this. #forbiddenplanet #dvd #retro

“…there are enough blatant Shakespearean parallels for the movie to be considered an adaptation. In turn, Gene Roddenberry never openly admitted that Forbidden Planet directly influenced Star Trek, citing instead E.E ‘Doc’ Smith’s Skylark stories and NBC’s Wagon Train. However, Roddenberry’s biographer, David Alexander, noted a production memo acknowledging the film’s influence… many view it as an unofficial pilot or a prequel set in the same universe.” #moviesz #ForbiddenPlanet

Hoy se cumplen 70 años del lanzamiento de la película Forbidden Planet. De mis películas favoritas y una de las mejores películas de ciencia ficción. La primera vez que la vi me voló la cabeza (no sólo por lo jovencito que está Leslie Nielsen, sino porque Hollywood se solía tomar la ciencia ficción en serio). Vale la pena volverla a ver cada tanto, ¡un clásico!
