Shouldn't be such a low score

In fact, the first and sequels are not so much about religion, history, humanities and science fiction as they are about human nature. Whether it is the old lady who feels offended and angry in the first part, insisting on letting John explain that he is fake and apologize; or the second part wanted to use JONH's story to become a big hit, but the curse turned to hate JOHN's so-called Professor friends. Not to mention the chick of the Buddha believer on the surface of vegetarianism, let's see what they have done. And what did JONH do wrong? From beginning to end, he said: I DID'T ASK FOR THIS, immortality is not what he asked for, he just hasn't given up, and he lives so diligently. Maybe he's more cautious than ordinary people, and he's lonely and lonely. But he just wants to live well. However, he suffered hostility and was targeted, and people wanted to question his existence, even inflict violence on him, not to mention the possibility of being dragged away for scientific dissection..

People are jealous of his eternal life, thinking that he shouldn't have such an endless life, or simply hope that they are like him.

So the second screenwriter ages him without exception, his wounds are no longer healed, and he is no longer the immortal body, so here, in fact, the first screenwriter satisfied most of the voices such as the so-called ruining of the original work. People’s selfishness for the existence of JOHN, people may not want to see him being mutilated, but his loss of immortality is a kind of balance for the public psychology. The second is that this may be a buried pen. Just like the other immortal man mentioned in the first part, whether the case investigated by the Bureau of Investigation at the end of the film was done by another person, (satisfying the public's understanding of how he immortalized, whether he sucked human blood or sperm Mythological conjectures such as the soul), also foreshadowed the third part. But no matter what, such a transitional film should not be given such a low score. On the other hand, some people who are eager for quick success and quick profit, they actually have no patience to think about the past, and they don't have the so-called patience to wait for the third film. If you think about it this way, maybe it should be such a low score.

In fact, human nature has always had ugly and terrible sides. I was fortunate enough to find the uncensored version, but without subtitles, so I just listened to it. In fact, what is deleted is the soul of this movie, so many people who haven't seen the full version can't understand the meaning of this movie. In the final analysis, why the film of 1 hour 40 minutes was cut to 1 hour 17 minutes, and the reason why it was deleted, exactly resonates with the human nature that the film wants to express.

Envy the first young lady who went with him, she is one of the few people who is clear and kind.

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.
