      A summary from Earthlings

      [Who cares whether this story is true or not, credible or not.
      It is only a background, standing in the historical background of the long history,
      together with the audience, some understanding and discussion of what is known. ]


      1 About my hometown I
      lived in Little Rock when I was five years old. I walked past a gas station, a large field, and about a block to a vegetable market.
      But if I go back there today, it must be completely different, or there are...

      If you don't have such a high B, don't put on the coat of science and science fiction.

      This is not some serious and NB movie. After watching it, I feel that it is just a literary and artistic film to kill time when I am bored.
      It’s okay to call it a sci-fi movie, but it’s not so much sci-fi as a suspense in a regular suspense novel, just like I said: Look, there was a heavy rain of candy in the sky 2000 years ago, so human beings learned the craft of making candy . Can this be called science fiction? If it is put in the real life outside of the movie, it can only be used as...

      The story in the story, people believe more in the gods they made

      A story within a story - "The Man From Earth".

      He came from ancient times, was born as a caveman, and has gone through 14,000 years all the way to today. He has suffered countless plagues and suffered countless accidents. Under the strict governance of the modern centralized city, he also suffered a prison due to his identity problem. He sailed with Columbus and listened to Beethoven’s music with his own ears. There are paintings by Van Gogh in the collection and face-to-face...

      A philosophical mental gymnastics

      If you don't do medical appraisal, just analyze it from language and logic, it is really impeccable, no one can refute or question:
        ask history, John can answer everything he has learned from books, if he doesn't know, he can also say " A person can only exist in one time and space in a period of history.” It is normal to not know or understand a certain historical segment.
        Asking memories, no one can prove it. John said he had studied with the Buddha, can anyone prove or disprove...

      The most awesome sci-fi film I've ever seen, no big scenes, no special effects, no 3D. It's just a simple low-cost production, just a few of the most common scenes, a few people sitting around and discussing listening to a man grumble. But, everyone was fooled by...

      Sacrificing characters for the story is one of the expressions I hate the most. All aspects cannot withstand any scrutiny, and the skepticism of a group of American scientists is limited to such superficial issues. Moreover, compared to the same genre, the inferior and exaggerated performance directly lowered the level of the movie. This is like a pizza that looks delicious, but when you get close to it, you find that it is...

    Evaluation action

    In real life, people try to use "beyond the scope that science can explain" to explain unproven problems, and the film just cuts out the gray area between science and religion, and uses the author's powerful and extraordinary creative skills. To fill the gaps in investment and technology. The entire film also worked hard on the details of scene management, line design, character performance, props and scenes. During the viewing...

      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.

    • John Oldman: [about the food] Put that stuff in the kitchen!

      Harry: [wryly] No, I'm gonna put it in the bathroom, John.
