At a farewell party, the protagonist confesses that he actually lived 14,000 years. Of course, he was facing his colleagues - university professors: biology, medicine, psychiatry, religious studies... Faced with the questions of these experts, the protagonist answered without any flaws. Faced with such a situation, do we believe that he really lived for 14,000 years? If it is true, how does he view human beings, and how does he view history?
What an exciting movie.
So far, I have watched three indoor drama films composed of dialogues, "Dream Meets Reality", "The Law of Survival", and this "This Man From Earth". "This Man From Earth" is the most exciting to watch. Because I am very curious, how does a person who has witnessed the entire human history view human beings, and how experts doubt how to question him. The good thing about the movie is that every university professor is very keen, and every question has a strong logic, pointing directly to the crux of the problem. The protagonist, on the other hand, can give an answer that is not logically flawed.
For example, at the beginning of the protagonist's story about his experience in the first 1,000 years, a history professor present immediately raised a question: How do you know that this happened in the first 1,000 years?
The protagonist replied: Based on academic speculation and the memory remaining in my mind,
another professor immediately questioned: Most people can't remember their childhood, but you can?
The answer is: like you, selective memory. (Consciousness means that you can't remember the whole thing, but part of it is deep in it, life's highs, underestimation, trauma...)
Another question is: what you say is the same as in the textbook.
The answer is: that's because you wrote it right.
If you don’t believe it, then you will continue to ask questions, trying to find out the flaws, such as, why don’t you age, how can you remember things 14,000 years ago and not forget?
I believe, I will continue to ask questions, how do you see religion, how primitive people think about aging and death, etc. It is very interesting.
As a result, whether you believe it or not, everyone behaves the same, that is, asking questions, and the protagonist answering.
Watching this movie, the excitement is that strong curiosity is aroused. Faced with such a person, there must be many questions to ask. What do you want to ask most? Faced with such a person, you must be suspicious, but how to find his flaws from a scientific point of view? The whole process was filled with skepticism, curiosity and excitement.
I've always wondered, if I were the one in the show, faced with a man who lived for 14,000 years, what questions would I ask him first.
The first question that comes to my mind is that everyone has such a probability that they will die from natural or man-made disasters, traffic accidents, etc., even if they don't fly or do cars... walking on the street for no reason It is possible to suddenly be killed by a car - there is such a probability of death, of course, the probability is very small, so people with a life expectancy of 80 years may not encounter these and "die well", but the problem is that in 14,000 years, facing the same probability, Is it possible to live unharmed until now?
Live 30 years and you may not be hit by a car, live 80 years and you may not be hit by a car, but live 14,000 years and you've never been hit once? Well, there were no carriages in ancient times, but there were always carriages. Not counting carriages, there were lightning strikes, tsunamis, volcanoes, rolling stones, earthquakes, wars, infectious diseases...why is the probability invalid for you?
(Later, the protagonist mentioned the Black Death in the movie...)
I like the concept of "probability" very much, so this is the first thing that comes to my mind. I think the first question that everyone thinks of may be different, because the first question that comes to mind is often the place that you are most concerned about and most interested in.
So I'm curious what is the first question that comes to other people's minds when they watch this movie.
