Bad film, big bad film! Of course it's actually not that bad, but after I had such high expectations, I was so disappointed with the content of clear soup and water!

When I first heard that this was a film that was shot in a house, I instantly thought of 100 wonderful dialogues and shooting methods, but what the film presented was just a forum of a hundred schools or a lecture hall of the East.

The content is also nothing new. Are those people really professors? Is it really a Harvard professor? Aside from the fact that it is biologically miraculous that a man lived for 14,000 years, and his last 2,000 years are coincidentally, I don't find anything unusual about every sentence of oldman. It's something any liberal arts student who's studied high school history knows. The director seems to have arranged a conflict point, the origin of Jesus, but I think most people who know the history of religion will not be as shocked as Edith in the film. - But maybe the atheism or pantheism education I received from childhood determined my perspective.


It would be a tragedy if its imdb score is really that high. In short, the director or screenwriter tries to make the audience have a different way of thinking about history and the world, but the final performance on the screen is superficial. Since the director and screenwriter treat the audience as rigid-minded idiots, I can't blame it for calling it a cosmic super bad movie.

  • Edith: Are you sorry for some of those things you said?

    John Oldman: I'm sorry I said them.
