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~~

    It's okay, independent and fresh concept, but I don't like this kind of small production

    Tell a story of self-salvation under the setting of sci-fi, simple and simple

Another Earth quotes

  • Richard Berendzen: In the grand history of the cosmos, more than thirteen thousand million years old, our Earth is replicated elsewhere. But maybe there is another way of seeing this world. If any small variation arises-they look this way, you look that way-suddenly maybe everything changes and now you begin to wonder, what else is different? Well, one might say that you have an exact mirror image that is suddenly shattered and there's a new reality. And therein lies the opportunity and the mystery. What else? What new? What now?

  • Rhoda Williams: Maybe they're up there. Maybe not. Maybe.
