The second time, I don’t think it’s that bad

I watched the first part five times in the past week and decided to give the second part a second chance. It was really ugly after reading the first part that year. Of course, the main reason was that the first part was too strong, and the biggest problem with the second part was too much. It’s too short, I feel that the depth is too much, but the male protagonist’s immortality ability is weakening. With the development of technology, he will definitely start to show off. The different follow-up reactions of the previous professors and friends, some people feel betrayed and hate, some people hate it. Still willing to help. The different attitudes and personal settings of the students have a unified and logical plot. Too pious beliefs often correspond to madness, and there are open endings and endings, although there are suspicions for the next one and the appetite for money. But as far as the film is concerned, the ending is not bad, because our longevity has always been a "good person" image before the end of the film, but in fact, when you think about it carefully, he has been talking and telling stories and narration, and has never acted him properly. Whatever he has done, even if all the stories he tells are true, it does not mean that it is the whole truth. If someone can live for thousands of years, then his morality and life outlook will be very different from ordinary people. Don’t rush. Rebuttal, because longevity can be said to be a different life from ordinary people. On the one hand, watching countless deceased and relatives die over time will naturally be indifferent to life, and secondly, if he is Jesus, he will naturally not have God in his heart, and he will have no awe. , His wound healed quickly, he was good at it, he kept changing his identity, he had been alive for so long, how could he not try everything including murder? He is a serial killer and it makes sense. He is a piece of human history. He has experienced human beings from drinking blood to the rule of law civilization. His morality is not a penny picked from the roadside and handed over to the police uncle to start the establishment. , But from the instinct that I want to eat, I want to live, whoever stops me from eating, I will do or even eat, I am willing to score 7 points, plus one point for feelings, four stars!

The Man from Earth: Holocene quotes

  • Tara: My point is: he's a very brilliant man... with a great ass.

  • John: We're all burning. Every one of us. Burning with desire. We're burning with a fire caused by what the Buddha called the three poisons: greed, anger, ignorance. He taught us that we can fix this, we can turn them around. And greed becomes generosity, anger becomes compassion, and ignorance becomes wisdom. There are miracles around us all the time, he said.
