I recommend watching The 27th Day (1957)
I'd never heard of it, which peaked my interest as I have watched a lot of 1950's sf films. It seemed like mostly standard fare to me, very much of its time, until the resolution at the end of the film, which actually shook me. I kid you not.
Watch the film, digest what you've seen and then come back to this post and read the spoiler (if you read it before watching the film, you'll miss the point).

Motherfucker, I told you to watch the film first, now go watch it.
The film feels like the usual American 50s sf effort albeit with a very odd premise - all-powerful aliens won't end humanity due to their own moral code but they'll allow humanity to end themselves if they wish and give it the means to do so.
An intriguing idea if a little far-fetched, philosophically speaking. I don't mean the science, I mean the dilemma placed in the hands of Humanity's five representatives and the aliens' apparent motive for doing so. As plot devices go, this one is out there, way out there.
The resolution though is horrifying. Ten years ago, it would have sailed over my head but with what I've learned, about Marxism, Globalism and Malthusianism, the ending filled me with horror and revulsion.
All right-thinking people get to live, all wrong-thinking people get to die, in pain. A genocide with jubilation and a celebration as the end result. Fuck me.
This film hit me as hard as any work of fiction I have ever read or watched and it came in the form of 1950's B-movie slop. And you'd completely miss the Trojan Horse concealing pure Marxist-style murderousness unless you have learned something about how Communist utopias are meant to be created.

I couldn’t get past 10 minutes. Maybe drugs would have prolonged my viewing tolerance!
There is one part in the film that had me in stitches, fucking funny!!
Bit better than the first 2 games!

That chip looks like it's out of a BBC Microcomputer.
Don’t waste your time on this. Fact.
`I read the bookJust watched Cloud Atlas on Amazon prime, a film i have wanted to see for a very long time, fucking brilliant!!
It's a film that you have to pay attention too as it is a bit confusing in parts but as it gets closer to the end the jigsaw starts to come together. I will be watching it again at some point.`I read the book
No one believed me but they are dangerous I tell thee, dangerous
