Gort (The Day The Earth Stood Still)
Gort is a fictional humanoid robot that appeared first in the 1951 20th Century Fox American science fiction film ''The Day the Earth Stood Still'' and later in its 2008 remake. His depiction varies between film adaptations. ''Farewell to the Master'' comparisons The inspiration for Gort appears to be loosely based on the character Gnut, from "Farewell to the Master", a 1940 ''Astounding Science Fiction'' short story written by Harry Bates, used as the basis for Andrew Phillips's screenplay. In that story, Gnut is a moving green metal statue that is apparently attendant upon Klaatu, but in the terminus of the story is identified as the eponymous "master" over Klaatu. Gnut is described with a much more human appearance, with musculature and emotional expressions. He is described in the fourth paragraph of the short story as tall. Comparisons are made between Gnut and robots, but only as a means of differentiating from the crudity of those built by humans while Gnut app ...

Viscount Gort
Viscount Gort is the title of two peerages in British and Irish history. Gort is a small town in County Galway in the West of Ireland. The original title was in the Peerage of Ireland and is extant. A viscountcy with the same title as the Irish peerage was then conferred in the Peerage of the United Kingdom to John Standish Surtees Prendergast Vereker, 6th Viscount Gort, a later Lord Gort. This gave the distinguished descendant a subtle personal change of status, whilst preserving the heritage of the older title. The United Kingdom title, however, became extinct on the death of the original recipient, who remains perhaps the most illustrious bearer of the older title to date. A post-World War II unqualified reference to "Lord Gort" will almost always be to the sixth viscount. Viscount Gort, Peerage of Ireland The title was created in 1816 as an advancement or 'step' for an existing peer. John Prendergast Smyth, 1st Viscount Gort, John Prendergast Smyth had already been created Ba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
