Ok, so Slyvia has just seen her Uncle fried alive by the Martians, witnessed a huge battle where she no doubt saw many soldiers loose their lives, been in a plane crash, then cowered in a ditch as three war machines destroyed the wreckage of said plane and hovered close by. Yet two minutes later she's cooking eggs for Dr Forester. Couldn't he have cooked the eggs himself and let her rest? What a complete and utter ba***rd!  |

Lol!
I always thought actually that two fried eggs was a bit of a rubbish repast for two people who'd been through what they had. I'm guessing that Sylvia wasn't much of a cook..
Surely there must've been better stuff around the farmhouse?
Anyway, they didn't get to eat it in the end because a dirty great cylinder landed on the house.

Everytime I fry eggs I keep looking out the window waiting for the house to get hit by cylinder.
Only joking, but serious that scene always comes to mind when I'm cooking eggs.

maybe she should have cooked some beans on toast as well.
It's also amusing that Dr Clayton Forester can theorise on Martian anatomy. Martian technology and Martian Optics. But cooking two eggs for a woman...well even that defies the scientific brain.

I think she said she didn't mind as it kept her mind off things. Good, let the men decide how to be wiped out by an alien race and do the cooking woman!

I love that scene. It's my favorite of the whole damn film - if not the whole 1950s genre of science fiction itself.
It says: 'Sure Martians have landed, your family gets zapped, and your plane crashes. There's also total chaos and society has broken down. BUT, despite all that, men and women will always stay the same. A man works and thinks and a woman is there to set up house and cook for him'.
Total 1950s ideology about the US family. Nothing subtle about it.

She should have said,
"How is the fight against the Martians going Honey?"
"Oh not well, they will be in LA in a week" he replies
"Ohhh..does that mean no oscars this year, I wanted to see what Liz Taylor was going to wear"

It has the same thing as harry potter, which is when times get hard eat some chocolate I mean that is just asking for fat kids.
But eggs do help, well they help me cos my house mates are anti eating eggs as they are dead chickens, which is funny when we have a chicken for sunday lunch, bloody geordies!
