He points out, however, that while the &#8220;picture certainly has an interesting, intelligent premise&#8221;, the script itself (by Cyril Hume) is &#8220;very trite [and] juvenile&#8221;, the &#8220;direction by Fred Wilcox lacks excitement, the acting is stiff, and the crew-cutted, always snickering, obedient, white, WASPish soldiers are more fitting for the dull Eisenhower Era than the 23rd century&#8221;. He further argues that the film&#8217;s worst mistake may be &#8220;having [the robot] Robby (who has amazing power) relegated to comic relief&#8221; rather than, for instance, joining in &#8220;during the climactic Id vs. Morbius scene&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>While I&#8217;m annoyed by Robby &#8212; his interactions with a tippling cook (Earl Holliman) are especially groan-worthy &#8212; I actually believe the film&#8217;s <em>worst<\/em> error is its lack of (strong) female characters. <em>Forbidden Planet<\/em> immediately and unambiguously fails the <a href=\"http:\/\/bechdeltest.com\/\">Bechdel Test<\/a>, given that there is only one female character (Francis) who is thus unable to talk to another female about <u>anything<\/u>, let alone a topic other than men. Indeed, nearly all of Francis&#8217;s dialogue centers ON men &#8212; from her growing understanding of what this &#8220;sexual attraction&#8221; thing is all about, to which man she will (inevitably) end up attached to, to how she can dress in a way that will make the men more comfortable, etc. She&#8217;s ultimately little more than skimpily dressed eye candy. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"304\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis.png 720w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Forbidden-Planet-Francis-604x255.png 604w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of minor interest is the fact that <em>Forbidden Planet<\/em>&#8216;s storyline is loosely based on Shakespeare&#8217;s <em>The Tempest<\/em> &#8212; though we never fully understand why Morbius is so protective of his daughter, given that the &#8220;Freudian-incestuous elements are toned down.&#8221; Once the narrative centers on Nielsen&#8217;s exploration of Altair-IV and his growing understanding of Pidgeon&#8217;s history on the planet, however, we immediately become drawn in &#8212; thanks in large part to the truly &#8220;marvelous design of Altair-IV and the Krell underground chambers&#8221;, as well as some nifty special effects.
