The frenzy never ends

The frenzy never stops. I think it fits the theme of this movie. I think this may also be the theme the director wants to express in the second part, which is a sublimation of the first part.

Compared with the first part, the second part no longer has the pioneering brain hole of the first part, but because of this, the director expressed the views that the first part wanted to express but did not express. If the possible future third part is also counted, the first part may be just the beginning of the director's expression of opinions. Accidentally, this opening is a bit gorgeous (gorgeous in the brain hole), so that its edge overwhelms the author's desire The opinions and themes expressed, after all, discussing technology, techniques and complexity is the general way people evaluate movies in the age of excess energy.

I think films that make people think deeply are equally respectable, albeit rough at times. And this film just gives us an opportunity to rethink human beings.

Unlike at the beginning, philosophers were keen to discuss the ultimate three questions of mankind (who am I, where do I come from, and where do I go), in this era, fewer and fewer people pay attention to this topic, even philosophers People who are eating and eating have also devoted themselves to discussing those old sesame and rotten millet things. In this era, few people explore the ultimate problem.

The consequence of this is that people are either reluctant to raise their heads because they are indulged in the pile of money for the sake of reality, or they are reluctant to wake up in order to escape reality and hide in religious extremism. How precious it is at the moment.

The dialogue between the male protagonist and the Christian pihilip is thought-provoking. Of course, those lines need to be considered. The fast technical questioning will make people feel that the male protagonist is showing off his skills and ignoring the content itself. The topic of discussion itself is far deeper than the questioning skills.

People are more inclined to believe what they believe rather than the facts. More inclined to be obsessed with what you stand for, rather than the truth.

After all, as some readers have said, once a myth is established, it does not need to be perfected. People will make the myth eternal with the pretense that it is better to believe that it is not. It seems that people are believing, but in fact people only But in love.

Remember the three poisons that Shakyamuni told people to stay away from?

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.
