Science fiction films are one of the most accomplished of the art forms and can give a great deal of pleasure to sophisticated film addicts. It is not coincidence that heyday for science-fiction films is considered late 1940s and the beginning of 1950s because since that time science-fiction films started to be more interesting for people due to the situation of that period. That is why Robert Torry professor of American literature chose that time period to write his famous article about 1950s science-fiction films. In the article the writer try to explain the beneficial outcomes caused by sci-fi films. His purpose was to contextualize the historically apocalyptic visions in especially three films from early fifties: "When World Collide ", The Day the Earth Stood Still " and "War of World ". His claim was to make some depiction according to these films. As an individual person l found the writer's ideas little bit complicated. From historical and political side l liked his ideas and depiction so that people had to know the situation in the world. However, from religious and moral point of view l consider his ideas little bit egoistic .So that, according to the writer there is one God which is always want Americans' favor and there is just one civilization in the world is called America.
In ˜WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE' the writer's claim is very obvious and interesting. Devastation of worlds by a runaway star, invading planet is depicted as the global nuclear conflict between USA and Soviet Union. "The film's transformation of an invading planet into an invading star augments the specificity of its allegory "(Robert Torry 10).So we can deduce from quotation the writer mention the situation in America about President Truman's decision in January 1950,testing atomic and hydrogen bombs and conflict with Soviet Union.
Of course, from political aspect it was good event, the writer is right.
