just a moment

I raised silkworms when I was a child. These naive worms live in a small oral liquid box. They only know how to eat and have no interest in the outside world. They still have no interest in the outside world, and as soon as they come out, they stick their butts together in a panic, looking like they want to die. At the time, I felt that they were not worth it. Now that I have wings, it would not be a waste of my life to go out for a walk and then come back to stick my butt.

In the vast desert of time, the shortness of life is only a moment, and in this moment, the difference between people is as negligible as the difference between the patterns and feathers on the silkworm. The dreaded plan is actually all by chance, the hero, the bear, appeared and disappeared, and the truth returned to nothingness, as if it had never happened. The ancients are not seen before, and the newcomers are not seen later. The only way out is to make up history. Is human society progressing? What I can say for sure is that we must have missed the best of times.

God uses eternal life to punish sinners. The wandering of the soul is not always a happy thing. The key to our happiness than the cavemen is that we are mortal. After the short wandering of the soul, we merge into the boundless, endless nothingness.

    It seems that I like this kind of drama-like dialogue and thought-provoking movies.

    The film cuts through the gray area between science and religion, filling in the lack of investment and technology with the author's powerful and extraordinary creative skills.

The Man from Earth quotes

  • Harry: [insistent] *You* are creating the mystery here obviously y'have something you'd like to say. Say it.

    John Oldman: [Hesitant] Maybe... I...

    Harry: [sing-song] Ten, nine, eight, seven, si...

    Sandy: [Chiding] Harry, stop.

    John Oldman: There is something I'm tempted to tell you I think, I've never done this before, I wonder how it will pan out. I wonder if I could ask you a silly question?

    Art: [Scoffing] John, we're teachers, we answer silly questions all the time

    Linda Murphy: [Teasing] Hey!

    John Oldman: What if a man from the upper Paleolithic survived until the present day?

  • Dan: Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice.

    Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time.

    Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock.

    Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John?

    Dan: He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it.
