    Either be more nerd or don't pretend to be advanced. The doubts of a group of American scientists are limited to such superficial questions: a little bit of Van Gogh and Hegel. Will a few Jesus and cavemen convince you? The doctor confirmed that his father died. This passage is too dramatic (although the single scene itself is already a one-act play). In short, it is a film with good ideas but not good details. Samsung...

    Single-act play, textualized, speculative enough, tough enough, simple enough, the idea catches people, and a glimpse of it opens a rich introduction to associations, which has benefited a lot from the perspective of...

    How much would it cost to save more than just making movies like this?

The whole film is like a few friends sitting around and telling ghost stories when I was young... It's quite...

    I built a platform for you to think

    Few films dare to give up plot to express ideas, not only a challenge to entertainment, but also a challenge to itself.

        It is very difficult to give up presenting content with inherent factors that attract attention. Today, when fast food and entertainment have become outrageous, it is quite...

    The Man From Earth - not as good as expected

    This movie is the most understandable movie I've ever seen. At the beginning of the story, I asked John why he left without a reason, and it reminded me of "The Space Station". Sure enough, it's a story about immortality.

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.
