The Man From Earth
Can't describe this without giving it away.
- tetris11 3y agoI constantly think about this film. The amount of moments that must have been lost to time. Vague memories that must me merged into innate feelings and instinct that shape John into the person that he is. Does he actually learn from his experiences, and chooses to be the man that he is? Or did his experiences literally whittle him down to the person that he has become. In essence: Is he the embodiment of a mankind that witnesses the consequences of its actions, or is he the very antithesis of it (telling in the way that he distinguishes himself from others, whilst being extremely humane in every interaction). On a lighter note: I also wonder if he can juggle and do a backflip, or if he could and these skills were lost to time. In the same way that many of us are defined by a childhood that we barely remember, I wonder if his generosity and kindness is born from a blur of unconscious experiences he barely remembers.
- huytersd 3y agoI’ve constantly been looking for movies like this one. Anyone have any suggestions?
- timbit42 2y agoNot the sequel.
- timothevs 3y agoI find myself going back to rewatch the movie over and over again, hoping to capture the emotions I experienced during the first time I ever watched it… and it doesn’t disappoint. Love the setting, the casual nature of the gathering, and how it draws you in with the premise, and always leaves the imagination running wild.

- polonbike 3y agoThis one has moved me a lot, and talked to me in so many ways. I came here to post this movie, that HAD to be in the list. No spoiler.
