Has Anyone Bought Today And Had Problems Watching The Day The Earth Stood Still 1951 Release Today?

I bought The Day The Earth Stood Still {2008YR.} with bonus 1951 Release Today. The 2008 version worked great, but the 1951 release version does not play, and when look at the back of the dvd it shows REL. Does it suppose to show the Rel on the back of the disk too like the front of the disk? I am just wondering if anyone sat down and tried to watch their 1951 version and could not watch it today?

I Need The Subtitles For The Day The Earth Stood Still?

I'm watching a screener of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (2008) and it does not include the subtitles to the conversation with Mr. Wu. I was wondering if anyone had the translations or could point me to a full script of the movie so that I could locate them myself. I would really appreciate it as I'm a little lost without the subtitles. Thanks a lot!

20th Century The Day the Earth Stood Still (Blu-ray)All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie, in a role intended for Claude Rains), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose "bodyguard" is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and heis ordered to remain in the hospital, where his wounds are being tended. Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he poses as one "Mr. Carpenter" (one of the film's many parallels between Klaatu and Christ). There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, Bobby (Billy Gray), neither of whom tumble to his other-worldly origins, and seeks out the gentleman whom Bobby regards as "the smartest man in the world" -- an Einstein-like scientist, Dr. Barnhardt (Sam Jaffe). The next day, at precisely 12 o'clock, Klaatu arranges for the world to"stand still" -- he shuts down all electrical power in the world, with the exception of essentials like hospitals and planes in flight.

Losing patience, Klaatu slips into the human world, adapting a false identity and living at a boarding house where he meets a smart woman with a conscience and her inquisitive son. Both mother and son soon find themselves embroiled in the complex mystery of Klaatu, his message and the government's witch hunt for the alien.
