This movie is of great significance primarily because it happens to be an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s famous play The Tempest

In the movie Forbidden Planet we see that mankind is incapable of using advanced technology without destroying something. In the movie the technology is not the main source of the problems the crew faces in the movie. The real problem was the way mankind used technology in the movie. The best example of this misuse of technology is seen with Dr.Morbius who was unaware of the great power he gained from using Krell technology.

In The Tempest, Prospero knows what power he holds through the use of his books and spells, and ultimately uses these powers to restore order to the island. However, in forbidden Planet, Morbius’ powers are unknown to him and ultimately lead to his demise

let us take it to a bigger scale like what would happen when you’re exploring an unknown planetoid and your technology fails you or when you discover alien technology on a different planet that you do not fully understand? Ridley Scott and Fred M. Wilcox delve into these questions wonderfully in Alien and Forbidden Planet. In
