A movie as profound as 'K-Sex Stranger' and 'This Man From Earth'

Within our lifetimes, we are marveled. As biologists have managed to look at ever smaller and smaller things and astronomers have looked further and further into dark night sky, back in time and out in space. But maybe the most mysterious of all is neither the small nor the large, is 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 can stand outside ourselves and look at us?
Our lives are full of wonder, biologists see smaller and smaller creatures, astronomers look farther and farther, into the black night sky, into time, into The universe, but perhaps the miracle of miracles, neither big nor small, but us right in front of our eyes. Can we recognize ourselves? Even if we could, would we know ourselves? What do we say to ourselves? What will we learn from ourselves? If we could get out of our bodies and look at ourselves, what would we say to ourselves?
These lines are my favorite and the center of the film. Maybe there will be another earth, another self, but how does that affect us? Just like a person looking in a mirror, you can look at yourself in the mirror from outside the mirror, but if you try to step over it, the mirror will also fall apart!
Watching this movie reminds me of "K-Sex Stranger" and "This Man From Earth", the style is really similar to K-Sex Stranger, and I like the style of music very much~~

  • 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.
