If there is a third part, John should be older and make-up may not save the script???

Slightly disappointed, guessed the reason: insufficient funds; filming was rushed, and the script could not reach the first part.

After watching this one, I was really speechless about the performance. Although John still maintained a sense of mystery and determination, his partner and colleague from the university were also good, and contributed to the drama that was in line with speculative exploration. But a few students are really weak, and they don't have the spirituality of Emma in the first part. The key problem is that the director wants to show that the immortal John begins to have fundamental doubts about his existence, that is, he may no longer be able to stay young, and the chances of recovery from injuries are reduced (close to normal people), because the actor It's been about ten years since I participated in the second part, and makeup is on the street? ?

It feels like a hole is being dug. It's a pity that the exploration of the students and the embarrassment of Art are too dramatic, and there is absolutely no delicate, deep and refreshing practice of the previous secret room discussion body! The whole sequel shows signs of hard work, and the director is not easy, but it adds some gimmicks and cheap impressions and settings of commercial films. For example, the high school girl who wants to devote herself doesn’t understand anything Anyone else get together? Why would such a superficial character appear? ? ?

In fact, Asian characters can be more restrained and smarter, and finally become characters with exaggerated style and chaotic logic. The black guy is cynical, and the plot of shocking others casually is also 666. The only student who is still a little speculative, a devout believer, seems to want to follow up with the last part of the secret room conversation, but what did they talk about? Decisiveness about religious beliefs? Why not just stab the victim? Because the director didn't dare to mess around, and if he stabbed him, how would he act like this?

The so-called open pattern seems to be smashed! The opening pattern of the first part at least has certain elements, which inevitably makes people spread their reverie in a series of shocks.

The end of the second part? Do you think Oldman will grow old in future TV dramas or movies (if the money can make it), I think so, and it can be filmed for decades, and it will remain in suspense???

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.
