>LAUNCH THE MISSILE NOW!
What did he mean by this?
Great thread
>>70971237
How the fuck did he have the authority to launch that thing anyway?
>>70971450
the general had the authority delegated from way higher up, if it got too much the general would be able to call the strike and sacrifice everyone for the rest of the u.s., when masley grabbed the radio the nautilus thought it was the general
>>70971450
He was pretty high rank iirc
That or the radio he was on was secure/confirmed
He's actually saying "Launch the missle, Nao!". Kent Mansley was actually a Chinese spy looking to start another World War and was willing to die in a fiery explosion to ensure it happened. When he realizes the giant is still there and is capable of stopping the missle, he panics and tries to escape ("Screw our country, I wanna live!"), but is stopped by actual American soldiers.
The scene where the Giant sacrifices himself is an allegory for the Cold War. The missle is an allegory for Russia, and the Giant represents America. The two collide in space, but ultimately it's the Giant who wins, thanks to his selflessness and him being willing to help others, which represents America's role as the protector of the world. The Giant reassembling in the snow is an allegory for how we bought Antarctica from the Russians.

It's a shame this movie did so poorly in the box office. This is a classic.

Mansley either got life in prison or executed. Those are some pretty serious crimes he committed .

Never thought about that. He fucked up
>>70972018
I like to think the 50s government made him an MKUltra test subject.

Honestly it's probably for the best that it didn't succeed. Can you imagine a sequel?
>>70972018
Yeah that's some serious shit impersonating an officer, disobeying orders, there's got to be something in there about falseflagging.
>>70972285
I'll be honest, I did definitely want a sequel when I saw this, but yeah probably for the best. Not even sure what the sequel would be about. There is that deleted scene that shows the Iron Giant is actually part of alien robot death squad though. Something with that might have been cool
>>70972290
Don't forget unauthorized launching of a nuke on home soil and desertion
>>70971237
never in the history of cinema a character have done literally nothing wrong as Mansley
i never got the hype around this movie even as a kid
