War of the Worlds (2005)	comment	Note: This is about the 2005 adaptation. For the 1953 one, see The War of the Worlds (1953).A 2005 science fiction disaster film directed by Steven Spielberg, written for the screen by David Koepp and Josh Friedman, and starring Tom Cruise, Dakota Fanning, Justin Chatwin, Tim Robbins and Miranda Otto, narrated by Morgan Freeman and very loosely based on the classic H. G. Wells novel of that name.Ray Ferrier (Cruise), a dockworker living in New Jersey, is gearing up to spend some time with his estranged kids, teenage Robbie (Chatwin) and 10-year old Rachel (Fanning), while their mother and her boyfriend visit her parents in Boston. After about twenty minutes or so showing the rather strained relationship between them, metal tripods start rising up from underground annihilating everything in their path and strange red weeds begin to grow in abundance on the Earth's surface. Soon, a war between mysterious alien lifeforms and humanity breaks out, and Ray does everything he can to keep his kids and himself safe while they head to Boston in the hopes of regrouping with their family.The film is the second collaboration between Spielberg and Cruise after Minority Report. Not to be confused with two separate films released the same year, both titled H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds. Directed by Timothy Hines and David Michael Latt, both were released directly to video and were overshadowed by Spielberg's production. The David Michael Latt film even received a sequel, named War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave.

Ray has a severe one after seeing the attack start, to the point that he collapses on the floor in front of his children, and takes a minute to shake himself out of it. Ray briefly has one when he realizes Ogilvy is beyond reason. He quickly gets over it when he realizes he has to kill him. Rachel has a lot of these, such as when she sees the dead bodies in the river and when she's captured in the tripod basket.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
War of the Worlds (2005) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The initial alien invasion has many deliberate similarities to 9/11. The shot of the vaporized victims' clothes floating down recalls the paper falling from the sky after the towers went down, the shot of Ray covered head-to-toe in grey ash after escaping the first tripod, and there's a pretty deliberate shot of a wall covered by pictures of missing people. When she sees the heat ray, Rachel even asks "Is it the terrorists?" By the second act, however, the aliens then become eerily reminiscent of the American military forces following 9/11. The shots of displaced civilians marching for safety, towns and cities being in complete ruins, and the transformation of a once-healthy environment into a desolate barren hellhole bring to mind the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the chaos that subsequently ensued in the Middle East. The use of blood harvesting can also be seen as a metaphor for the numerous war crimes committed by soldiers during the war. This fact was made abundantly clear by Spielberg and David Koepp who both described the film as being 'anti-Iraq war'. The immediate aftermath of the EMP attack is reminiscent of the 2003 northeast blackout, which affected the area the film is set in. Particularly the scenes of the streets being crowded with foot traffic◊ as most transportation has been grounded and dead carsnote In the Real Life scenario, they ran out of gas due to most gas stations in affected areas being knocked offline are being pushed off of the road.

They buried their war machines deep beneath the Earth, and when they perceived the time to be right, they return for the attack. If they truly had buried them "before there were any people here" then it can be believed that they were possibly put there for insurance, in case any dominant species evolved on Earth.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: In the book, the narrator shows some sympathy for the aliens, saying their world was dying and they needed a new place to live. The film omits this, simply portraying them as monsters that want to exterminate humans out of envy and hatred. Harlan Ogilvy shares the name of Ogilvy the astronomer in the book, who isn't around for long but is portrayed as a more sympathetic and amiable character. This is because the character was combined with those of the artillery soldier (who rambles about an underground resistance but is inept and lazy) and the curate (who acts as The Load and goes insane, after which he is killed by the aliens). In the book, the narrator only knocks the curate unconscious, and he's then dragged off by the aliens. In the film, Ray intentionally kills Ogilvy to silence him.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
War of the Worlds (2005) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The military's Curb-Stomp Battle against the invaders is called 'Operation Thunderchild'. Ray and Rachel meet a deranged survivor living in a farmhouse basement; His name is Ogilvy. "Once the tripods start to move, no more news comes out of that area". The scene where the invaders use a probe to explore the house (and the protagonists subsequently hack it apart after being discovered) mirrors the 1953 version of the movie. The aliens' rampage abruptly halted in front of a church in the 1953 film. Here, their rampage commences in front of one. A panicked mob rampages to take possession of a working vehicle as in the 1953 film. When the first tripod is emerging from the ground, there's a brief glimpse of a street sign reading "Van Buren", which is the last name of the heroine in the 1953 film. The arriving roar of the tripods seems to be a reference to the triumphant "Aloo! aloo!" sound the Martian fighting machines make in the original novel. It could also be a nod to the "ULLA!" sound the tripods make in Jeff Wayne's musical adaptation of the novel. When Ray blows up the alien tripod, there can be heard a faint, electronic "Ulla!" in the same fashion described towards the end of the original novel, as the Martians die of Earth diseases. The film starts in Bayonne, New Jersey, which is only about 50 miles from the setting of the 1938 radio play of Grover's Mill. A dying alien comes out of the hatch of a tripod, similar to the end of the 1953 film where the arm of a dying alien came out of the open hatch. Additionally, the alien moans "Ulla, ulla...", a reference to the sound Martians make as they die in the original novel. The film's poster image of an alien's hand symbolically grasping planet Earth is like the title and credit sequences from the 1988-90 television series. Ogilvy's hoodie. A nod to where the Martians are described to be in their tripods.

When Ray is blindfolding Rachel before he kills Ogilvy, Ogilvy can be heard ranting in the background that he doesn't care if Ray and Rachel are killed by the aliens. Ray would have killed him anyway, but it certainly makes the deed even more sympathetic.

People do some very desperate things in the face of an incomprehensible disaster, like the mob that forces Ray and his kids out of the car, but it's made clear they're just scared and doing everything they can to survive, and occasionally, humanity steps up to the plate, like when Ray gets grabbed by the tentacle inside the "people cage" and every single person overcomes their fear of the alien tentacle and grabs on to pull him out of its grasp. Played straight with Oglivy, who is a Jerkass from the start and couldn't care less if Ray and Rachel become victims of the aliens. Subverted in the same scene with Ray himself who murders Oglivy to shut him up and keep himself and Rachel safe.

But while the military is very quick to haul their carcasses away from the tripod the moment one of their missiles delivers the killing blow note As per the training of Javelin teams ... several civilians who stay and watch the Curb-Stomp Battle find out that where they are standing is where a 100-ton mech is about to fall like a tree, and get smashed because they couldn't run away fast enough. Tripods are somewhat analagous to human tanks. In urban environments, tanks require infantry escort otherwise they're very vulnerable to man-portable anti-tank weaponry, as seen in the film, where the tripods didn't have any alien troops on foot escorting them and were swiftly dispatched when the shields gave way.

All they or the audience ever see is the man being lowered to the ground and pinned, his legs flailing, and finally the massive war machine stabbing him with a needle and siphoning his blood through a hose. It's more likely than not that the man was killed almost instantly from the needle piercing his heart or some other vital organ, given that his legs stop moving immediately. The Gory Discretion Shot, though, leaves open the possibility that the Invaders drain people alive.

Think of it as a combination Oh, Crap! in one convenient package. The arrhythmic, alien whirring sound the tripods' huge servos make once they go on the move.

At the sight of this, she completely forgets what she was doing and just stares. When the tripods appear at the ferry, Ray and family freeze and stare. The other people around them have a similarly delayed reaction, taking at least a few seconds to start running. A more literal example comes when Rachel is stuck out in the open under the search light of a Tripod. Not that there's anywhere to flee to in that scenario. She spends the next few minutes nearly catatonic in the Tripod's basket, until Ray finally snaps her out of it.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_b58b4e3c	comment	Too Dumb to Live: The crowd of people in the first attack just stand there in awe of the tripod when it's clearly giving some rather ominous signals that it's about to lay waste to them. However, several people are seen running away a while before the Tripod fires on them. Somewhat justified, since nobody had encountered one of the tripods before that point. However, later in the film, when the military is battling the tripods, the civilians, knowing full well that the aliens are bad and dangerous, decide to stick around and gawk rather than get the heck away from there. Ironically, this goes badly for them because the military, and not the aliens, won, since they were standing too close to where the tripod was going to fall when it was brought down. The military personnel were smart enough to haul ass out of there as soon as it was evident they had scored a killing blow. Robbie has an obsessive interest in going to fight the aliens, despite Ray's repeated attempts to tell him exactly how stupid this is. Even after seeing the explosions occurring from over the hill and the military forces clearly losing the battle, Robbie is insistent he still wants to go. By all means, everybody, crowd onto a ferry to cross the Hudson, a large and attractive target from which you have no ready means of escape. The aliens themselves. They get out of their tripod in an alien planet, wearing no protective gear, rummaging through dirty stuff in a damp basement, and one of them even drinks water from a broken pipe. No wonder they all got sick.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The probing scene can be seen as one to the more famous (and infamous) scene of the kitchen in Jurassic Park. "Hushabye Mountain" is a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Rachel has a poster for The Saddle Club in her room. Robbie also has Dragon Ball Z toys on his shelf. Rachel is flipping through the channels and the first thing you hear is "Moon Gorgeous Meditation!" According to Steven Spielberg, one of his daughters is a huge Sailor Moon fan, so she gave the idea for the reference. "The Secret Box" episode of Spongebob Squarepants is shown on TV. The use of hand grenades may well be one to The Tripods, a trilogy of novels inspired by (and would be considered a sort of Spiritual Successor to) the original novel. Ray's posture just after Rachel is reunited with her mother at the film's end, is the posture taken by Ethan Edwards just after he reunites the abducted girl with her family at the end of The Searchers. One of the aliens poking about in the cellar causes a bicycle hanging on the wall to crash to the floor, as a allusion to Spielberg and a subversion of E.T. (and the Amblin logo).

Vaporization of the material in question is what happens with most explosive devices. A 180-200 pound human being flash-vaporized would create an explosion as powerful as multiple sticks of dynamite...denim just isn't made to survive that. The heat ray was an explicitly antipersonnel/terror weapon. For structures and armored targets, they use a Wave-Motion Gun, which shreds everything in front of it.

When Ray and Ogilvy witness a Tripod harvesting blood from one of its human captives, the scene is mostly blocked by a tractor. All they or the audience ever see is the man being lowered to the ground and pinned, his legs flailing, and finally the massive war machine stabbing him with a needle and siphoning his blood through a hose. It's more likely than not that the man was killed almost instantly from the needle piercing his heart or some other vital organ, given that his legs stop moving immediately. The Gory Discretion Shot, though, leaves open the possibility that the Invaders drain people alive.

While Ray gets his children to safety, we don't see anyone else on his street evacuating, so it's likely that all of them died in the attack. There are multiple children in the crowd at the ferry, which is soon capsized while the rest of the crowd is massacred. Regardless of whether they got aboard or not, their odds of survival don't look good. Ogilvy also mentions he had a daughter Rachel's age who was killed by the aliens.

This basically sums up their relationship for most of the movie; neither of the kids pays any attention to what he tells them to do, he knows barely anything about them and he clearly has hardly any real relationship with either of them.

War of the Worlds (2005) / int_eea06f9a	type	Artistic License â€“ Cars
War of the Worlds (2005) / int_eea06f9a	comment	Artistic License â€“ Cars: You won't be able to get a 1993 Plymouth Voyager (or any fuel injected car with electronic engine controls) that had just been bricked by a massive EMP running again just by replacing the starter solenoid. At the very minimum the Voyager's engine and body computers would have had to have been replaced. Given how even parked cars got their electrical systems fried by the EMP even though they were powered down and had their rubber tires insulating their bodies from the ground, its highly unlikely that Manny would have been able to locate a good SMEC and BCM for the Plymouth Voyager, install them and get it running again in the short period of time before the tripods attacked. Also, Manny showcases that the Voyager's starter was fried to a crisp by the EMP attack, which honestly defies explanation, as well as how its radio is still functional. You could argue the whole "replace the solenoid" line was simply an Ass Pull from the writers. To that point, the film depicts Ray as owning a 1967 Ford Mustang, a car that has no computers in it, has an entirely mechanically operated powertrain and in theory likely would have still functioned after the EMP attack, even if it required popping the clutch to get it started in case the EMP fried the starter in the same way it fried the Voyager's starter. Ray could have utilized the Mustang as a getaway vehicle and generally avoided this trope. Its handwaved by the writers in that Robbie took it for a joyride and it nonsensically died during the EMP attack, despite the aforementioned. Minor example - Ray honks the Voyager's horn by hitting the center of the steering wheel. On a 1993 Plymouth Voyager the horn is operated by buttons on the bottom steering wheel spokes.

Whether it's being confrontational with everybody but his sister, rebelling against authority, or wanting to attack the aliens head-on with no consideration for feasibility, risk, effectiveness, or what it might mean for anybody else, Robbie's entire motivation at all times seems to be to go on the attack. Invoked practically verbatim by a Marine lieutenant, ordering the forces under his command to hit an (offsceen) tripod at the battle at the hill. In this case, though, it's not due to one of the usual underlying causes of the trope, but as a Heroic Sacrifice to try and buy any time he can for the refugees trying to get clear of the aliens.
