       🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc.Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

       There's quite a bit more - the genius hermit who lives on a desert planet with a droid; the use of the word 'blasters''; the similarly angled ray beams; and, if I'm not mistaken, this is the 1st film that has a spaceship travel beyond light speed.
