We know and see Mr. Carpenters personality and figure very often, as compared to the thing whom we only see glimpses of throught the movie. Another thing that is different between the movies is that we get to know the military people a lot better in the thing, and that they all have unique personalities and are all very good people. But in the day the earth stood still, they seem that they have no purpose and the only thing that they manage to do is get in the way.
These are very good insights on the film that I didn't really think of until now. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteAnother difference is that how the scientists are portrayed. In the Day the Earth Stood, they were shown as being the people who should be control while in The Thing, it showed them as putting their curiosity before the safety of the people they are with.
