Liberals? i beg to differ. the revelation at the end of the movie is that Gort and the off-planet army of robots are actually police with the power to destroy any sentient being that steps violently out of line. basically its saying we've set up a police state that can destroy us because we can't trust ourselves not to do it - this is very far away from a Liberal doctrine. the film also very much reflected the time it was made with the fledgling United Nations seen as a force that could step in and keep the peace between nations... although i don't think anyone thought the UN would take such extreme measures as those depicted in the film!
