Looking at this open ending with a good fantasy, maybe John arrived on Earth 2 and saw his wife and children alive and decided not to bother, and let go of his hatred, and went to Rhoda there, hoping that he had successfully finished reading MIT's She can go to Earth One to help herself there, maybe John will end up with Rhoda in the end. And the setting of the old man in the school may just be to let the heroine look away, because she also hopes that if the hero forgives herself, she will not go to Earth 2.

Another Earth quotes

  • Richard Berendzen: It would be very hard to think "I am over there" and "Can I go meet me?" and "Is that me better than this me?" "Can I learn from the other me?" "Has the other me made the same mistakes I've made?" Or, "Can I sit down and have a conversation with me?" Wouldn't that be an interesting thing? The truth is, we do that all day long every day. People don't admit it and they don't think about it too much, but they do. Every day, they're talking in their own head. "What's he doing?" "Why'd he do that?" "What did she think?" "Did I say the right thing?" In this case, there's another you out there.

  • Rhoda Williams: If you met yourself, what would you say?

    John Burroughs: Hey, you up for a video game? Probably beat me. What would you say?

    Rhoda Williams: Better luck next time.
