If you have never done anything wrong in your life

This is an independently produced literary film in a soft sci-fi packaging. Except for the vast majority of famous people and the many righteous devils on the Internet, everyone else has probably done wrong in their lives, things you wish you could do all over again and not let it happen. If there is another earth very close to us, all the people and things on this earth are there. Everything that happened, happened there. One day, people and things on these two earths will no longer be in sync. You want to see if your mistakes will be different and redeemed on another Earth. Such is the story.

This film moves forward quietly but not dull, nor does it have the false pretense of some "artistic films". If you don't like the fast-paced Hollywood style, don't watch this.

The actress Brit Marling, who graduated from the Department of Economics at Georgetown University, has achieved remarkable results in her first performance. She is also the screenwriter of the film. Directors Mike Cahill and Brit are former and later alumni of the Georgetown Economics Department. The background of the film is his hometown of New Haven, Connecticut. This is his first non-documentary directed. I'll be interested in the movies the two of them work together in the future.

Another Earth quotes

  • Richard Berendzen: Within our lifetimes, we've marveled as biologists have managed to look at ever smaller and smaller things. And astronomers have looked further and further into the dark night sky, back in time and out in space. But maybe the most mysterious of all is neither the small nor the large: it's us, up close. Could we even recognize ourselves, and if we did, would we know ourselves? What would we say to ourselves? What would we learn from ourselves? What would we really like to see if we could stand outside ourselves and look at us?

  • John's Son: What rhymes with "light"?

    John Burroughs: "Light"?

    Maya Burroughs: Oh, that's a good one.
