    We watch movies in pursuit of a "movie sense". This "cinematic feeling" distinguishes film from other arts. Serial dramas, "Today's Talk", "Approaching Science", etc. appear clumsy and uninteresting in the face of "movie sense". Well, as a low-end movie fan, I didn't capture the slightest "movie feel" in this...

    A good idea, but nothing is right! The logic of the whole movie is this: Saying that someone has lived for more than 10,000 years, and then through various questions is actually perfecting this assumption. The movie ends up doing something like a rogue: Suppose someone does live more than 10,000 years. What's the point of this! If someone really lived for more than 10,000 years, it would be interesting to tell a completely different human...

    Is Production Value too rough? The cinematography and soundtrack are the same as TM's 70's soap operas, don't give me the cost-Following spent 4,000, Coherence spent 50,000, and gave you 200,000 to shoot like this? Watching a movie is the same as reading a novel, so what's the point of your...

    Humans who can theoretically live to 190 years old, why can't they live less than half of them under normal circumstances? Because we're short-sighted, we're greedy, we're stupid, we're stubborn, we believe in cheap religion, we make brain trick heroin, we rob each other and depend on each other, we build cars and spend hours at the gym, we study high nutrition Food hates fat, we create money and we are enslaved by it, half of us die of...

    To be honest, I really admire this director for having the courage to make a movie like this. When I told my friends that I was sitting in front of the computer and watching a group of people sit and chat for an hour and a half, they were all surprised. But I have to say, I agree the director's...

    I'm not offended by the peculiarity of this idea. The small cost of the film seems to be the entry point for the director to show off his narrative ability, which is disgusting. Judging from a fireplace story, it's the ultimate; for a movie, it's blasphemy. →20.3.11 Review after seven years. The man in front isn't quite right, but it's nice to find him saying it at...

    very good light

    Damn it! This kind of movie is so frustrating, the same emotion appeared when I watched "Lola, Run", I was sweating profusely by Lola's flaming red hair, but my heart was cold and cold. . I thought this subject would be mine, and I'd shoot it one day, but good ideas always come first, and I...

    Let's just have a big chat

    There is a feeling that everyone is chatting in the science fiction version, and all kinds of incredible settings, discussions, doubts, details and situational evolutions are run out on one proposition. It was quite comfortable for the second time.

    The first time I watched it, I felt very...

The Man from Earth quotes

  • [last lines]

    Sandy: You never saw your own child die...

    John Oldman: No.

  • Edith: My God, what is this? It looks like a genuine Van Gogh, but I've never seen it before...

    Dan: Is that an original, John?

    John Oldman: No, it's just a gift someone gave me.

    Edith: Still, it's a superb copy. Contemporaneous I think, may I take a closer look?

    John Oldman: Please, yeah.

    Edith: Yes, it's the same stretcher Van Gogh used.

    Dan: Hey, there's writing on the back. It's in French.

    Edith: To my friend Jacques Bon. Wonder who that was?

    John Oldman: Someone he knew, I guess.
