another earth

1. The part that the professor gave to Rhoda, a bow, a hacksaw, a melody around the universe. The saw is a destructive tool, but it becomes a musical instrument in the film, showing a constructive side;
Rhoda's confession to the professor, the temptation to confess the accident sincerely and directly. As long as we dare to admit and face up to the other us that exists, in the film, it may be called daring to face up to and accept our own decisions, and maybe we can be free.

2. Whether it's the trembling of fear or the silence of self-blame, and the cowardly escape, all the extreme loneliness, pressure, remorse, kindness and love are silent under her black hoodie. Her figure and aimless fingers clearly express her consciousness in the only clean exterior. She doesn't have to say anything, she doesn't have to do anything, just standing there is a story.

3. Redemption stories are always varied, but never so new. Underneath the sci-fi appearance is a deep motif. The girl who has never shown a smile wanders in self-punishment and confusion, sometimes looking up to see another self on another earth, whether she is also watching the moment her life changes What about yourself?

4. A film that is narrated in the way of making news records, 90 minutes, no special arrangements are made, the rhythm is also slow, and news materials are inserted from time to time. In the form of a mirror, express that we exist at the same time as the other us.

    [Depression] Destroyed an earth, and the film, which is also a sci-fi drama, created another earth, but it was equally desperate. This is actually a story of redemption. On another planet, there is another you, and there is a second chance, but the result is the same loss. Sometimes emotional and fresh, sometimes rough shoulder photography, talented girl Brit Marling is well-written, and next year, it will be a hit with Alan Page's [The East] next year! ★★★★

    The picture quality is not good, the heroine is beautiful.

Another Earth quotes

  • John's Son: What rhymes with "light"?

    John Burroughs: "Light"?

    Maya Burroughs: Oh, that's a good one.

    [Loud crash]

  • Richard Berendzen: In the grand history of the cosmos, more than thirteen thousand million years old, our Earth is replicated elsewhere. But maybe there is another way of seeing this world. If any small variation arises-they look this way, you look that way-suddenly maybe everything changes and now you begin to wonder, what else is different? Well, one might say that you have an exact mirror image that is suddenly shattered and there's a new reality. And therein lies the opportunity and the mystery. What else? What new? What now?
