Ephesians 6:10-18 says, Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊😊
Totally admire some of these old shows where they don’t change camera angles often and just let the weight of the drama and actors reaction carry the show
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy 1917 as much as I did when that came out. I was on the edge of my seat once I realized the shot kept going and going… I was looking for the first sequence break and the movie was so well done, I don’t think I caught it. The plot of the movie is simple, but the way it was filmed and carried by the actors, it became more than a movie. ; it was journey.
@@djbusx alfonso Cuaron’s ‘children of men’ I think it was with Clive Owen is for you then. They took 13 days to prep one continuous shot that lasts a long ways and a good movie too
@mousesunset It is statistically proven to keep viewers who are not otherwise familiar with the media in question more engaged, and will watch for longer
The Twilight Zone was one of the best tv shows ever produced. I watched every episode and loved the Rod Sterling intro. Great show back in the day when tv had great quality shows.
Twilight Zone and Outer Limits are superb. I, Robot, from Isaac Asimov, was first a black and white episode of The Outer Limits and later remade in color, both episodes starring Leonard Nimoy.
@@RoyalRegimentofScotland That’s A Lie, Harry s Truman the U.s president in late world war 2 asked for permission in the 1945 to Henry L. Stimson which was the secretary of war at the time to officially name the Second World War To World war 2 and it was granted in 1945. So it’s been called world war 2 since the end of the war.
Got a feeling this took inspiration from the incident at Drem airfield in Scotland a pilot during ww2 flew over a old disused airbase but when he came through the clouds the airfield was no longer abandoned and had squadrons from ww1
You should watch a movie called "The final countdown". Where a new modern aircraft carrier is sent back to Dec 6, 1941. They find the Japanese armada on route to bomb Pearl Harbor. There is a scene where two modern jet fighters take on two Japanese Zeros. Great stuff
This particular time travel took some time but Henri Fabre (1882-1984) flew the first ever seaplane in 1910 and went to a US museum in 1975 on Concord at mach 2.
Until you recount details of older aircraft that they wouldn't know. Miniature details of battles that aren't recorded along with soldiers you served with that are in the records of the squadron. That would mess with their heads like crazy
@@MasonEverestThat's what he does, he says he was flying with his wingman they got ambushed, and they wingman happens to be these soldiers commanding officer. The pilot runs away before he gets there and steals his own plane and goes back to rift. The commanding officer gets there and these soldiers tell him what happened and say the pilots name and what he looked like and the commanding officer tears up and says that his wingman disappeared when they got ambushed only to reappear and purposely fly through machinegun fire to save him. It ends with these soldiers realizing he was telling the truth the whole time.
Serling also wrote the screenplays for *_' Seven Days in May '_* as well as the original *_' Planet of the Apes '_* in addition to that not so good series *_Night Gallery._*
A lot of the tropes of the Twilight Zone episodes have sort of made their way out into popular culture, where even if you've never seen an episode, you've definitely seen a spoof or reference to most of the twists. But they still absolutely hold up!
Twilight Zone! When you were allowed to deduce the meaning of an episode for yourself, instead of being beaten over the head with it. Super great series.
Rod Serling had to fight the suits at CBS, the censors and advertisers. It was almost canceled twice. He talks about it in an interview with Mike Wallace if you look on RU-vid. He was born on Christmas Day 1924.
Rod Serling was an amazing writer. Still watching The Twilight Zone in reruns again. BTW It was DESILU, Lucy and Desi, who produced the pilot for the series.
@paulqueripel3493 there was an accent used in older films like this that was like a mid-atlantic accent, which was a weird blend of british and american. it was used to be appealing to both anerican and british audiences
Love twilight zone. 50 episodes a season. Each with a new story. Utterly unparalleled. Now we get 6-8 episodes from a show and wait a decade for one story.
@@warzasproductions We have over 500 channels with nothing on them worth watching and most are filled with commercials for the lamest crap in the world. I bailed from Dish in 2007 and figure that I've missed over one billion advertisements by now. And now I'm being pressed to pay more and more for YT and Netflix and Amazon Prime vids WITHOUT ads. $24 a month. I tried watching YT like the rest of you for less than a day and I went crazy. Then AdBlockPlus started working right again and I realized just how bad MSM has gotten.
"The Obsolete Man" is a GREAT episode. Another one is "A Most Unusual Camera." That one still freaks me out to this day. If you haven't seen it, do so. I can think of several others but I can't remember their names. But so many of them either made you think or would make your jaw drop. Serling was a genius.
@@zvne. The name is the, "Twilight Zone!" They are not on regular TV. Do not quote me but try to Google and see if there are Episodes you can download to watch. The topics they showed back then were, "fiction" describing imaginary events and people but 60 years later, many of the shows topics are turning into, "non-fiction!" (Real)
Classic Twilight Zone was peak television, still is. Even when you know the twist or the cliche, know that this show did it all first and so masterfully still makes it so enjoyable.
You can say that about a lot of movies and shows from the 50s-80s. Everything was brand new, no one had seen any of it before. Why do you think religious people literally rallied in the streets by the thousands during the 80s calling for the deaths of movie producers making movies like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Exorcist, and so many others? That stuff was literally never seen on film or on television in any form for any reason. That was not something religious people wanted their children seeing, so that’s why Anti-Satanism became so violent during the 80s all across the world. People were losing their god damn minds over all the “Evil, Satanic garbage” being put in theaters inside “God Fearing Good Nations.” . Nowadays though, let’s be honest. All of those original horror movies are freaking whack. Toddlers find it scary, but most kids after 10 years old are completely numb from watching videos on RU-vid of people dying in car crashes, cartel fights, etc. Compared to things that have come out in recent years regarding Horror as a Genre; those original Classics that built the foundations of modern horror look like some cheesy after-school project a bunch of 12 year olds made on a MacBook.
Such an underrated series. I loved watching this then Outer Limits right after. Best TV when I grew up. To this day, I can't get enough Sci Fi. Remember the Tank episode going back to Custer's last stand. Damn I miss those shows.❤
So basically this guy is flying with another plane but sees German airplanes and avoids death by running from a fight with German airplanes (essentially abandoning his comrade to the Germans). He goes into the future but something is wrong bc he sees the future but the problem is that this future his comrade survived and this future only exists if he followed through with his mission which was to sacrifice himself and take down the enemy planes instead of running away. Eventually he accepts his fate and gets back in the plane and follows through with his mission to help his comrade, essentially protecting the future and letting his friend survive to become a hero.
You're absolutely correct as long as the film or video game or book in question has been out for 6 months -1 year It is no longer a spoiler@@grant3933
The original twilight zone TV show was beyond excellent all the attempts to reboot it as a new TV series failed miserably we just don’t have that level of writers, directors, and actors anymore certainly not in the main networks who never understood what made the show good in the first place
Because they don't aporiciate the historical nuance. The WW1 Pilot could not have forseen the technological leap the world would make in less than 50 years. What seem fantastic ala HG Wells, is what HG Wells for saw in his famous War of the World, when talking about military aviation his name is always mention, and this man died 1 yearxaftexthe end of the WW2.
I didn't really mind the new Jordan Peele version, at least the first season. Haven't stayed current with the show, but of all the reboots, it's the best by a huge margin
My uncle introduced me to "The Twilight Zone", when I was a kid. It was way before my time. So even then, it was in syndication. But I always loved it. The time travel episodes, like this 1, were always my favorite. In fact, I still love anything having to do with time travel.
When I was 8 in elementary school my older brothers would wake me up late at night so I could watch TZ w them when it came on..... afterwards we'd go to Wendy's for a treat. And then they'd says go back to sleep french fry and dont tell Mom and Dad. I have such great bonding memories w my brothers. Even just all of us watching TV together in front of a small box.....and eventually....getting our first atari 👍🏾❤️
Stuff like this would be fun to do if my step brother were my actual brother. He’s about to go to middle school and I know in my bones that kid is going to get brutalized mentally and possibly physically by everyone in middle school because he’s way too naive and way too soft. He couldn’t finish **Moana** because the ending was “Too Scary” when the earth goddess comes out of the ground covered in magma and tries to attack Moana. I think his brain would shatter into pieces if he watched Twilight Zone lol, but my step mom wants to keep him as her little boy for as long as possible, and I know for sure she’d freak out if he watched even just something like this and it made him scared or anxious.
I'm 68 and I get so sick of things-were-better-back-then posts. The only things that were better back then are strawberries and bananas. Those two things have been ruined by farmers and consumers.
Great old series. It's called "The Twilight Zone", and most of the episodes are really good, I recommend watching the original series. Glad it's finally getting some recognition!
This episode and the installment starring Cliff Robertson as a 19th century wagon master who travelled 114 years into the future were excellent examples of relatable time travel stories. The RAF pilot saves his comrade-at-arms and the wagon master saved his son from dying of pneumonia. Good stuff!
I loved this show. I'm 70 now. But I remember the gentleman who introduced it. And the ending with the music Should bring back some of these show. Including the Adams Family. Loved Lurch, it and granpar 😂😊
One of the best Twilight Zone Episodes, ever. The actor who played the RAF pilot actually had a role in Elizabeth Taylor's "Cleopatra." That's the kind of talent Rod Serling had in his amazing show.
Actor Kenneth Haigh (rhymes with vague) was a well-known face on British TV in the 60s, playing Joe Lampton in the TV version of John Braine's novel, Room at the Top, called Man at the Top. Playing support roles in films like Cleopatra, I doubt he would be known in the US.
@@IUsedToBeSomeoneElseX As an actor myself, I think that British actors are superior to their US cousins. I truly believe this, although it might raise a few eyebrows in my circles. Whenever I see a great British thespian in any American film, it ALWAYS brings up the quality of the movie a notch, in my opinion. For example, when I first noticed that the cast in Ridley Scott's original "Alien," when saw that both John Hurt and Ian Holm would be in the picture, I KNEW it would be great... *and it was.*
It's nearing midnight this side of the pond and I'm too old and sleepy to make a cogent, or even coherent, reply. So I shall acknowledge your response with a thumbs-up and wish you, what must on your side, (depending on time zone, of course) a very good morning!
My great grandmother was actually born in 1900. She lived through WWI, the 1933 Depression, WWII, the Korea War, Vietnam War, Apollo Landing, the assassination of JFK, RK, MLK, Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Madonna etc. Almost 100 years of history.
She very well could have known civil war veterans as well. Crazy that leap in technology within a single human lifetime. She grew up with a hitching post for your horse rather than a garage as well!
My gran was born in 1883 and died in 1982 my mother her youngest baby girl had passed away in 1980 up till then my gran was fit as a fiddle I'd bring her up for her glass of Guinness 😂 she'd have four or five sometimes she'd sing a song walked around no bother but once my mother died she lost all interest in Life so I lost both of them in two years STILL miss both of them think 💬🤔 of them most days as I'm getting on myself 😊 strong women they had a tough Life my gran had twelve kids delivered over forty she was the woman they'd call if a woman was given birth at home a midwife if you wish as grown ups they'd always bring my gran 🎁💝🎁 Christmas presents every year 😊 take care Dublin Ireland
I hope you were able to spend a little bit of your lives together so that you could've heard such legends from someone who lived through it. I'm 63 and all of my grandparents were either passed or very elderly when I was born, but I still know a lot of my family's history. My grandmother traveled in a covered wagon from Illinois to Oklahoma to settle with her family when she was a little girl.My grandfather had been selected to study in Vienna,Austria's School of Medicine in1916 ( they had married and had two sons by then) but all travel to Europe by then had been banned. So many things happened. My dad remembered his father came to the schools and took out all five boys and drove them downtown where there were crowds of people shouting and banging on the doors of the banks. It was Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the day the stock market crashed. My grandfather wanted the boys to see history being made, and he wanted them to witness " panic mentality" or "crowd mentality" and how it can turn reasonable people into non- thinking followers, and that leaders must be aware how quickly it happens and creates chaos. My dad was only five years old that day.
To elaborate on my above comment, the Depression affects our country like nobody's ever seen. There was no such thing as Food Stamps,Tanif, HUD, WIC, etc. Yes, certain Job Corps programs arose that did indeed feed a lot a lot of hungry little mouths, but the Dust Bowl and migrations to California to be complete ly taken advantage of ( a man labors from sunup to sundown at the orchard where's he's employed. That's alright he's proud, feels he' s truly able to take care of his his family. They're eating their supper , grateful to the Lord for this bounty, and he asks Ma "Ma I believe I use a little more food. Today wore me out, and tomorrow we're supposed to cover even more trees!" And she says "Well, son. There isn't any more. I took the $1 you gave me from yesterday and it took every single penny for today's food" This, of course is a paraphrase from John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath". Family depended on family. Strangers depended on strangers. My grandmother kept a big pot of soup going all day on the kitchen stove back burner, and a pot of coffee all day long,too. Men would come to the back kitchen screen door and knock asking if she had any work to be done. Either way he got a hot meal and fresh coffee. He'd thank her and be on his way.
Bob Hope? Lol. He couldn't carry on an everyday conversation, let alone tell a joke, without a script. That's part of the reason Johnny Carson hated having him a guest on The Tonight Show. Hope's writers were the geniuses, not him.
What an odd observation. Although Bob Hope appeared on Carson's show many times, Johnny disliked the format that Hope insisted on. He preferred giving Johnny a list of questions set up for Hope to come back with his "classics". Seems that he really wasn't that quick at ad libs. But a strange comparison nonetheless.
@@roberthamill2451 I wasn't comparing, these were just the ones that popped into my feeble little mind. Three was all I could muster. I should've named Gene Roddenberry, but he's beyond those. He tackled all the social issues of the time, and about the only sci-fi writer who presented a rosy future. One example. With one person, he shattered 5 TV barriers: rascism, sexism, stereotypes, glass ceiling, class/social rank. Lt. Uhura. First non-black role, blacks were all servants, subserviant. She was an officer--glass ceiling, responsible position. Truly equal--sexism, rascism, stereotype. Thx for reply
This episode gives a great view of the time travel loop. The pilot leaves a soldier but presumes he’s died when he couldn’t return. Somehow travels to the future/alternative time line. Finds out if he didn’t leave the guy to die he’d become this big time commander. Ends up getting back to his past, where he saves the guy, the pilot dies in the process, but the guy he saved does becomes this big time commander. Not because the pilot went back, but because that’s how it always happens. There was no alternative time line, everything he saw that involve the guy he left behind had already Happened, he already saved him, he just didn’t do it yet. lol.
Twilight Zone is goated imo. It hits every mark for me and manages to handle a lot of stories and feelings that people are afraid to portay, these days. I haven’t watched the entire series yet but there’s some episodes that genuinely shocked me and gave me such an intense feeling of dread. And there’s something about the old quality and the production that just works so well with the format and it adds a lot to the charm of the whole show.
Not just that, but Rod Serling was a man who really understood what humanity is, what humanity can and will do, and the times in which we lived. He could really make you look at yourself and the world around you and make you go, "Oh, crap." Such a marvelous storyteller and an insightful man.
Rod Sterling drew a lot from his war time experience in the 11th Airborne in the Pacific. He wasn't liked by his First Sergeant and ended up doing a lot of land mine clearing.
The actor/ time traveler is also in The Beatles ' First Movie 🎥 A Hard Day's Night. I believe it's a scene with George and discussing what all the "Cool" kids would be wearing. George disses all of it. 😂😂😂
That show used to scare the peanuts out of me when I was little!! The one that sticks in my mind, is the little girl who fell through the wall next to her bed (another dimension). She kept calling for her parents, and they couldnt find her 😢.
Some actors yes but we got some Gems luckily. Daniel day Lewis, Leo, Joaquin phoenix to name a few. Some acting is timeless. Plus this show is considered to be a top 10 show of all time
I find the pilot looking at the photo of the jet bomber really adds to his dawning horror. No one in 1917 would have ever thought that such a plane would someday exist. In fact, around 15 or so years before 1959, it would have seemed impossible for jet propulsion to be viable.
Seems to recall a story of some senior pilot type, after seeing a demo of a jet aircraft, just stood there staring at it and mumbling 'its got no propeller' or something like that. Even though he knew what it was and what he was coming there to see, actually seeing it was mind boggling to him.
Twilight Zone is honestly one of the best shows of all time. original ideas, amazing stories, iconic episodes and it’s hosted by the legendary Rod Serling. i feel like you never see anything like this anymore in 2023
I remember every episode from their first airing, And I only recently learned that Rod Serling had received medals for being a war hero, All his episodes were classic morality plays.
Holy hell these actors were so fricking good! The timming the expressions the relutancy and the military jargon. Even if it was a prank from the superiors u need to act that way
Take all the shows from 1959-2023. Only a few of them can be considered good enough to be in the same league as the original Twilight Zone. I remember visiting my aunt in NY and sleeping in my cousins room (who was a bit older than me). He had a small tv in his room and he put on this show I had never watched previously. It was the Twilight Zone. The local station was running a weekend marathon of them. My first episode was The Masks. It creeped me out to see their deformed faces, but I stayed up all night to watch them.
