John's freshman

From 2007 to 2017, it is another ten years, John should go again, but John is getting old. This man from the earth watched it last year or the year before last. I remember that he was serious when he watched it, and he was completely immersed in it. The whole movie was only completed in a small room. There were no other scenes. Several people sat together and bragged. Bragging. But with that kind of attraction, I still remember that I was shocked for a long time after watching it. In fact, this second part reminds me of Wolverine. There are many similarities between the two protagonists. Two people who will never grow old and die are going to die in the end. Regardless of religion or art, death is an eternal topic, although this second film is really regrettable, because the omniscient and omnipotent man has also grown old, and he has almost been believed in him for more than ten years. People are killed. I think the movie actually contains a kind of criticism of religious fanatics. Even if Jesus is standing in front of you, can you believe it? In fact, I feel that movies can attract people's thinking in many places, such as caring for humans, reflecting on environmental damage, and so on. I don’t think the reason for the low rating of this movie is the movie itself. It’s because everyone has a lot of ideas about John. It’s because everyone has a John in their hearts. The first movie leaves everyone with a lot of room for imagination. But the second part confined this character to the screenwriter's own thoughts, which is different from everyone's ideas and does not meet everyone's expectations for John, so some people say that this sequel is unnecessary. John finally got old, but John didn't die. I think John will usher in his own new life, even if it is death. I read some Tibetan books of life and death during the holidays. The content is very obscure, but I feel that it is a bit like the content shown in the movie. People will usher in death eventually. You must learn to face it instead of avoiding it. You must prepare for death. No fear. Even though John is 14,000 years old, I don’t think he is ready for death, but when he realizes that he is getting old, he has already started to prepare, even though there are still many disappointments, so I think the second part is A new life for John, just like the name of the movie-the new era

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.
