Lost both soul and skin

The conversations of the first professors are still fresh in my memory. They don’t need perfect shots or grand scenes. All they need is to shape an absurd character in front of us through dialogue, but their erudition is insignificant in front of time. , in front of a person who is almost immortal, their life seems sad and funny. But all this seems to be reasonable, and it is this kind of magical realism that makes the first classic. But the second part? Some sequels can at least eat their own way, and achieve "gold and jade outside, and nothing in them." But this sequel not only lost the soul, but also lost the skin. If you haven't watched the first part, this sequel is a suspense movie, but if you don't watch the first part, you don't even know the details, let alone feelings. But after watching the first part, I couldn't define the type of this film. The main point of view was also changed to the young students, and I added some feelings. After a little stirring, it became a film. The ending of the dog tail is even more uninteresting. The only climax of the whole film is the dialogue in the basement. At that time, the movie has passed nearly 4/5 of the subtitles, and most of the previous plots are not even meaningful, just life. Comprehension, the desire to return to nature, is there any more? Gone! "Without money, even the righteous lawyers will starve to death." I would like to say: "Without money, there may be no room for the director and screenwriter's imagination." But when the director and screenwriter are obsessed with money, the film is distorted . Hopefully the sequel or spin-off will have a fun and undistorted soul.

The Man from Earth: Holocene quotes

  • John: We're all burning. Every one of us. Burning with desire. We're burning with a fire caused by what the Buddha called the three poisons: greed, anger, ignorance. He taught us that we can fix this, we can turn them around. And greed becomes generosity, anger becomes compassion, and ignorance becomes wisdom. There are miracles around us all the time, he said.

  • Philip: If I can allow my faith to be shaken by the fantasies of a disgruntled college professor, I'm not really much of a Christian, am I?
