I have been a huge sci-fi fan since I was a child. Mysteries and UFO exploration were all reading books that I grew up with. On my 16th birthday, my first love girlfriend gave me a copy of "Earth" by L. Ron Hubbard. Killing Field", this novel was later remade into the movie "Earth Battlefield". The greedy, evil, and somewhat hilarious Tell in the book was interpreted by John Travolta as a "tunnel with a hot head" "The curly hair is strangely familiar, and this film finally lived up to its expectations. At the Golden Raspberry Awards that year, it won the
worst film,
worst actor (John Travolta), and
worst supporting actress in one fell swoop. (Carrie Preston-----John Travolta's real-life wife),
worst screen partner (every actor with John Travolta),

My best memory of my first love was ruined like this. Since then, I have paid close attention to all sci-fi movies but kept my guard up. The subsequent development of sci-fi movies has also confirmed my worries. It's getting more and more dazzling, but it still lacks the true spirit of science fiction, because watching a blockbuster such as Starship Fleet and Star Wars is actually not much different from watching the history of ancient Rome, but from Hannibal leading soldiers across the Alps The mountain has become a starship and the outer space is folded and traversed. From the warring golden horses to the opposing starfleet and ion cannons, they all lack the true sci-fi spirit in my heart. That spirit actually only needs an idea, an idea , or a kind of concern, it should be an urbanite written by Xingxin who has died but was still sent to the company by a robot to wash his face, brush his teeth, and a car, or a robot written by Asimov who is smart enough but still fails to escape the test. Unfortunately, such good stories are rare. However, I finally found another one - "The Man From Earth".
This is a very simple film, six Harvard professors say goodbye to a resigned professor John. In ten years, John's face has not aged. After being asked by everyone, John finally told him frankly. In fact, he is a caveman who has survived for 14,000 years. He practiced with the Buddha, sailed with Columbus, and Van Gogh gave him a painting with a pen and a message. Every time the people around him questioned his youthful appearance after 10 years of settlement, he would withdraw and leave, changing his identity and wandering again. Under the shock, his colleagues, including 6 professors in psychology, geology, biology, history, etc., asked various professional questions. John always answered fluently. When everyone was on the verge of collapse, John laughed and claimed that this It was just a joke, so everyone reacted differently and then scattered.
The film has a gorgeous ending. In the film, the 60-year-old old Will, who has always been the most fiercely opposed to John from the perspective of spiritual science, accidentally discovered at the last minute of the film that John was his father, who left him and him 60 years ago. Mother. This is pretty much the best ending I've seen in two years. Because the entire film has only one scene in John's cabin, and all the plots are all dialogue, so when John says it's just a joke based on his vast knowledge, you can easily have the famous pain at the end of the Flying Fox Gaiden, Miao Did Yifeng's knife cut or not? Can John say it's true or false? Fortunately, this ending answers everything, and also elevates the film from a group drama in a wooden house to a thoughtful sci-fi movie.
