Kaatu witnessed how humans love through Helen and her stepson Jacob. Because of this, he thought that humans can really change the world for the common good. So, Kaatu went back to sphere. He left; leaving a big responsibility to the human race.
REVIEW
The Day The Earth Stood Still is a movie for all ages. Scott Derickson (director), has weaved the scenes properly.
And the lesson of the movie itself is very appropriate to the current situation of our "home". Basically, the movie aims to be an eye-opener to humans. Especially nowadays, we tend to be careless. Thus, wounding Mother Earth. What must we do? ACT. Take part of evironmental programs like Earth Hour. Think about this: Do we want an alien to invade our planet because of our carelessness? Well, I hope your answer to that is NO. Also, I hope that everyone will be awakened and take steps.
