Forbidden Planet (1956) is a science fiction film directed by Fred M. Wilcox, with a screenplay by Cyril Hume.
After the film was released, a novelization quickly followed in both mass-market paperback and hardcover; it was written by English author Philip MacDonald (pseudonym W. J. Stuart) which chapters the novel into separate first person narrations by Major ?Doc? Ostrow, Commander John J. Adams, and Dr. Edward Morbius, PhD.
The novel delves further into the mysteries of the vanished Krell and Morbius?s relationship to them. In the novel, he repeatedly exposes himself to the Krell manifestation machine, which boosts his brain power far beyond normal human intelligence.
The novel also clarifies an issue only hinted at in the film. When Dr. Ostrow dissects one of the Earth type animals, he discovers that its internal structure is altogether unlike that of any real animal. The tiger, two deer, and monkeys [a gibbon, a capuchin, a chimpanzee, a howler, an ouakari, a macaque, a titi, and durukuli] are all conscious creations by Morbius and only outwardly resemble these creatures. Since the Krell?s GREAT MACHINE can project matter ?in any form?, it can create life. The Krells? destruction was, in part, punishment for appropriating the powers of God. This is why CDR Adams says in his closing speech ??we are, after all, not God?.
However, the ?machine creations? of the novelization can be said to break some canons of the film. The machine operated in real time; that is, it could not create standing matter forms independent of its operator?s will.
Thus Morbius would be tasked with re-imaging the animals any time they were called for and there is no suggestion this was happening. [And the Krell ?plastic educator?? ?Simply a 3-D image? ?But it?s alive!? ?Because my daughter is alive in my brain?] The film (more plausible comparatively) stated that the animals were descended from specimens brought back to Altair IV, BUT what about prehistoric humans?
[Commentary: Another ?animal? from the GREAT MACHINE? Morbius could?ve MADE a ?daughter? as ?Altaira? !!!]
