"Humans make the same stupid mistakes over and over again"

This sentence comes from Jesus, who once served as a preacher in history to persuade people to do good - John's meaningful words to his son in the film.

Why was he nailed to the cross? Why did he lie at the end and say it's a story?

Seeing the reaction of those people to his words, they will always be limited only by their own ideas and knowledge, by the conventional rules and concepts of human beings.

They cannot accept and understand aliens, and cannot stand anything that challenges the doctrine of authority in their minds. So they are indignant, excited, crying, paranoid, tough, and want to send this lunatic to a lunatic asylum, or to study at the Academy of Sciences.

I wonder, was the real Jesus tortured and tortured for this reason? So he didn't want to say it at first, and later denied calling it a script.

What made him feel ironic was that his very simple act of persuading kindness back then was completely overturned by countless descendants to attend the meeting, and even deified him and turned him into a person that he himself hated. The twisted thing, but instead won the whole world's convincing.

People, can never reverse the projection of others on you, your projection in the hearts of others.

People will always use their own hearts to filter everything and seek like-minded friends. No matter what your leader's intention is, who care?

When everyone thought it was a scam at the end, everyone was relieved, happy, and left happily, their friend was normal, not a superman or a god, great, he wasn't crazy either!


Woohoo, sad human beings.

    In this so-called thought-provoking film, what question really makes you remember to think after watching it?

  • Darrion 2022-03-23 09:01:33

    Wonderful movie, the screenwriter is very good, called Jerome Bixby. The movie unfolds in the form of one question and one answer, like a mini encyclopedia. It is rich in content, mentioning art (Van Gogh), prehistory, religion (he is actually Jesus) ), Medicine, Biology, Philosophy.... The audience is perfect, anthropologists, archaeologists, Christian literalists, psychologists, etc. Some find it angry, some find it absurd, some find beautiful things destroyed , Some people try to dig something, and some people just believe. Finally, people are confused, he is asked to admit that what he tells is just a story, and finally the person who asks him to admit that all this is not true is actually his son.

The Man from Earth quotes

  • Dan: Time... you can't see it, you can hear it, you can't weigh it, you can't... measure it in a laboratory. It is a subjective sense of... becoming, what we... are, in stead of what we were a nanosecond ago, becoming what we will be in another nanosecond. The whole piece of time's a landscape existing, we form behind us and we move, we move through it... slice by slice.

    Linda Murphy: Clocks measure time.

    Dan: No, they measure themselves, the objective referee of a clock is another clock.

    Edith: All very interesting, but what has it got to do with John?

    Dan: He, he might be man who... lives... outside of time as we know it.

  • Dan: A medical test might be a way of proving of what you're saying

    John Oldman: I don't wanna prove it.

    Art: So, you're telling us this the yarn

    [?]

    Art: of the century and you don't care if we believe it or not?

    John Oldman: I guess I should've expected you to... You're not as crazy as you think I am.

    Edith: Amen!

    Sandy: I've always liked you.

    Edith: Well, thank you dear.

    Sandy: Well, that's changing.
