Why do people not understand one of the best alien invasion films of all time?

Rating: 10/10 (27 February 2006)

I need to answer a few questions that people wonder about the film, for I am one of the biggest fans of the story..... 1.)Q. What kills the invaders?
A. Bacteria, the invaders died from the Earth's atmoshere. They were not adapted enough to our atmoshere so that after all that mankind threw at the Tripods, the invaders were kill by the tiniest things on this Earth. 2.)Q. Why didn't we detect the Tripods buried under the Earth?
A. There are 2 answers for this one. The most logical one was that the government knew about them and didn't tell us, just like with the incident at Roswell, NM. They probably didn't want panic to occur. The other is simple, the alien machines were buried far enough down that we couldn't see them. 3.)Q. Why don't we see what is happening around the world?
A. War of the Worlds is a very small, emotional film. We stay with Ray and his kids because the film focuses around him and what we see is what Ray sees. We know that the world is coming to an end, but we see it from his point of view. 4.)Q. Why didn't the aliens take over Earth when they first came?
A. Their planet must have been on the verge of dying and they looked across space to find a new world to populate. When they came to the Earth they found it nice and beautiful. Many people wonder why they didn't just take over then? Well, they placed their tripods under the ground, for they thought that they may only need them if events on their planet went horribly wrong, which they did. 5.)Q. Wouldn't the aliens detect the bacteria on our planet when they planted their tripods?
A. They might have. I admit that this is a big plot hole but to answer it with logic, the aliens might have thought that they could stay on our planet with bacteria around them. They probably killed all the bacteria on our planet and thought wrongly that they were tough enough to stand on Earth.
I really hope that these answer help you people that have seen the film and STILL don't know a lot of the film.
