Favorite scene:

Rhoda told the male protagonist that after he successfully applied for earth 2, he took her hand and trotted around the house to find wine to celebrate, opened the cabinet - took the wine glass - poured the wine, "so happy for you."

How nice to stop here, it backfired, he didn't forgive her, she gave him the chance, she met herself on earth 2 on earth 1.......

Guilt, self-redemption, I think everyone has such a desire to have the opportunity to go back to the past, talk to the old self and make some changes.

    One star for female pig's feet. The content is too soft to grasp

    Produced by Sundance, it explores forgiveness and being forgiven in a sci-fi setting. The abrupt ending is very thought-provoking. It is worth watching, four stars for the plot and one star for the heroine and director.

Another Earth quotes

  • Rhoda Williams: You know that story of the Russian cosmonaut? So, the cosmonaut, He's the first man ever to go into space. Right? The Russians beat the Americans. So he goes up in this big spaceship, but the only habitable part of it's very small. So the cosmonaut's in there, and he's got this portal window, and he's looking out of it, and he sees the curvature of the Earth for the first time. I mean, the first man to ever look at the planet he's from. And he's lost in that moment. And all of a sudden this strange ticking... Begins coming out of the dashboard. Rips out the control panel, right? Takes out his tools. Trying to find the sound, trying to stop the sound. But he can't find it. He can't stop it. It keeps going. Few hours into this, begins to feel like torture. A few days go by with this sound, and he knows that this small sound... will break him. He'll lose his mind. What's he gonna do? He's up in space, alone, in a space closet. He's got 25 days left to go... with this sound. So the cosmonaut decides... the only way to save his sanity... is to fall in love with this sound. So he closes his eyes... and he goes into his imagination, and then he opens them. He doesn't hear ticking anymore. He hears music. And he spends the sailing through space in total bliss... and peace.

  • DJ Flava: Just imagine that you're asleep, and then you wake. You're not sure where you are. You're not sure if anyone else is around. What would you probably do first? You would likely look around and say, "Hello? Hello?". You're attempting to find "am I alone?". We - here on Earth - would like to know.
