Oh hell yeah! Can't wait to watch this when I get home

Cant lie. This is probably my favorite movie. Scared the shit out of me when I was a kid though. Started my fascination with aliens and fueled my already enthusiastic love of sci-fi

Obviously I haven’t seen your reaction yet, but I’m willing to bet this is the scary/tense alien movie you thought you were getting with Close Encounters and Independence Day. There are two scenes in this movie where Spielberg demonstrates his genius in building suspense…the intro to the first tripod at the beginning of the movie, and the aliens entering the basement of Harlan’s house. Can’t wait to watch this tonight!

Wonderful reaction :-) War of the Worlds was written by Herbert George (HG) Wells and first published in 1898. Wells used science fiction to provide an allegorical rebuke directed to the then-dominant superpower (Britain). A kind of "hey how would YOU feel if outsiders came and stomped all over you like you've stepped on so many other cultures?". Orson Welles adapted it for radio and it was performed and broadcast live on October 30th, 1938. By then the dominant superpower was the US. In 1953 George Pal produced a film adaptation starring Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. At the end of the 2005 Spielberg film, when Ray Ferrier arrives with Rachael to Boston, we see Ray's in-laws standing at the front door. They are played by Gene Barry and Ann Robinson. I first read Wells' 1898 novel in 2004 and it ends on the same story beat: where the main character is finally able to be reunited with his wife. A reunion with family. This is why I consider Spielberg's version the best adaptation. In each instance: a contemporaneous telling of a story warning against conquest.

I love the germs aspect of this movie. The original novel was written in the late 1800s when medicine was still in its infancy and written as a "what if" scenario. Great book, you should read it!

To answer some of your questions about the original story, yes, it was originally a book. It came out in the 1890s. And it is also what the radio show is based on. It actually caused a real life panic. True story. Allow people tuned in after the intro saying that it was fake. There’s a lot that was kept from the book for sure because the book is essentially just from the point of view an unnamed narrator who is spectating. Modernized and put it in the point of view of different characters, but kept the same tone in the sense that it just sticks to a few people. It was actually the first alien invasion ever told . There are a lot of things that are kept from the book like the design of the tripods, the general motivation of the aliens, and the creepy stuff like the red weeds and terraforming the planet with our blood. And of course, the famous ending it’s known for

Stephen Clarke

The War of the Worlds was a novel written by H. G. Wells in 1898 and yeah it was a radio broadcast by Orson Welles’s

scott osborne

Also the '50s movie was good to. I play the radio broadcast while passing out candy on my porch for Halloween.

You should watch the 1953 version. Great movie There was a radio broadcast in Oct 30, 1938. Many did not hear the beginning which told them it was fake and based on the HG Well book

I like it. Great reaction. Yep, that guy is Tim Robbins who played Andy in The Shawshank Redemption. I wondered if you recognized the ex-wife of the Tom Cruise character is played by Miranda Otto who is Éowyn in The Lord of the Rings. I thought Robbie making it back alive was a reach? The PBS American Experience documentary on the 1938 radio broadcast by Orson Wells (then age 23) is stunning. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/worlds/

Since you've been on an alien/ufo binge watch lately, I'd love for you to watch Fire In The Sky! Great reaction like always!
