Gort
Robot
Gort is a robot from the Science Fiction motion picture classic, The Day The Earth Stood Still. This large eight foot giant was the companion of Klaatu, the pilot of the flying saucer from outer space. The most famous line in all Science Fiction motion picture is from the film:
Gort, Klaatu, barada nikto.
This phrase is echoed again in the 2008 remake of the movie, with was a great success. At it’s debut it was ranked as one of the highest grossing film of the year. Because the special effects were good, many people came to see the movie. The storyline of the new movie, match the one of the old one. The special effects were outstanding, because it all made Gort look real.
Pen & Ink Drawing Of Gort
Above is my pen & ink drawing taken from a search on the Internet. I have always enjoyed this classic film, because of Gort, and the flying saucer. Gort never says a word during the film, but his glass eye does all of it. The design of Gort is very spartan, because there are no elements to it. Robby the robot has a lot of elements, to keep the viewer amazed. However, Gort, and Robby were great at their time, and they are great today!
