"The day the earth stood still"

"The day the earth stood still" ... Last week, I went to a nearby cinema and watched this movie. Initially, I was attracted by the title which for me, it means that the day when the earth stop rotating (is there any other ways of intepreting this title on first sight?). Secondly it was because of Keanu Reeves, whom I like very much.

In the movie, he, as an alien (named Klaatu) claim that he is "a friend to the earth". Note that he does not say he is "a friend to mankind". Due to the impending global crisis, he is going to destroy mankind and all the buildings in order to save the earth because there are not much planets that can have creatures. The renowned scientist has to convince him to give chance to mankind.

Rather than sharing or commenting the quality of this movie, the purpose of this blog is about sharing the message behind the movie. Are we the friend of the earth? Obviously, the movie want to show that the earth is in crisis and in fact this is what happen to our earth now. If this condition persists and if no further action taken to change it, the earth is going to destroy and human being will come to end fo the world.

Perhaps, you would say there is nothing we can do and contribution by small group of us has no effect in the effort of saving the earth. In fact, we can do a lot of things to save our earth. Energy saving can be one of the efforts that we can do.

Why? -> Energy waste is polluting our earth.
How? -> The simplest example is , the less fuel you use, the longer the life of the earth (while waiting the invention of transport that does not require fuel!!).

We should understand that our earth is in crisis now. It can be noticed from the disaster that happened around us and the extreme weather that we faced everyday. Although the effort is so tiny, we still need to do it and we should promote it to our friends, family, colleague and etc. as well. For sure there are other efforts that help to save the earth like reuse, recycle ... The earth will not "stood still" for more than 500 years if everyone of us taking the effort NOW!
