The sequel is abysmal. Do not expect quality and only watch it for the "What the frick were they thinking" factor or just don't watch it.
Wait, so he's Jesus?
He was the guy the Jesus myth was based upon. Except he really did come back from the dead but he didn’t run around appearing to people.
Yes and that's why this movie makes christcucks seethe so much. Even a fictional hypothetical is too much for them
The Man from Earth is the ultimate pleb detector.
It's for people who feel "smart" after watching it without realising how fricking atrocious it is.
It's like a bad cheesy B movie from the 90s. The only redeeming factor is the intriguing backstory, literally every other film element is utter dogshit (yes, even the script)
From the mexican telenovela like acting, generic stock soundtrack, no character development, no actual dialogue just a long exposition Q&A throughout, constant boring back to back camerawork, no use of the one room, non existent lighting, a side love story pulled out of the ass, most cliche character traits, literally everything. I had to look up twice that it actually was from 2007, not early 90s.
This shit shouldn't even be a movie, it should be a book or a play. Or given to some other director because Richard Schenkman doesn't even know what a director is.
Just look at any other movie in his profile, everything is a meme (pic related)
And don't tell me they had no budget, 200 000$ is not small budget for this kind of movie. There are far superior movies with half the budget of that.
This movie has no artistic value whatsoever. It is just an excuse to make money from the story.
You will never see a renowned director admire this movie because there is nothing to admire except the concept.
Just try to compare this movie to let's say 12 Angry Men, both set in one room. The difference is almost laughable.
I like that this pasta has no actual criticism.
Sounds like you lack reading comprehension then
It’s a thousand words of “I don’t like it!”
>From the mexican telenovela like acting, generic stock soundtrack, no character development, no actual dialogue just a long exposition Q&A throughout, constant boring back to back camerawork, no use of the one room, non existent lighting, a side love story pulled out of the ass, most cliche character traits
All 100% true, this garbage is clearly directed by a tard amateur
… lmao holy shit it’s your pasta isn’t it.
There is a reason why it became a pasta.
I accept your concession
One person reposting something he wrote isn’t pasta. It’s only “pasta” when other people copy and paste it. Copy/paste -> copy/pasta -> pasta
>there is nothing to admire except
The concept is well executed. People vastly overestimate what they’d be able to do/remember if they were immortal or even transported back in time with foreknowledge.
>The only redeeming factor is the intriguing backstory,
Ah yes the only redeeming factor is the only reason people like it how very observant.
In other news people only like water when they drink it or swim in it and people only like food when eating it.
I don't know if you're aware, but there's a lot more to a movie than just the on paper plot points you know. Otherwise you can just read the wikipedia synopsis and get the same experience
The main payload of the movie is dispelling the idea an immortal would have encyclopedic knowledge of the past. He’s also supposed to be of average intelligence, so it’s a person of average intelligence written by a smart person for smart people.
You legitimately lack reading comprehension kek. Read the previous post again
Feel free to indicate what part of your post did I fail to comprehend. I mean, we both know you can’t and you think any disagreement is incomprehension.
The post says directly there's more to a movie than mere plot points. Then you again start listing out plot points. Reading comprehension please
Sometimes there isn’t. Sometimes there doesn’t need to be.
>Sometimes there isn’t
Then it's a bad movie. Better off just reading the story at that point
Your quantification of “bad movie” is “doesn’t tick all the boxes which my autism insists need to be ticked in order to be a movie.”
Don't get fricking cute with me, boy
I accept your concession.
No, I accept yours. Do not (you) me again
I’ll continue to school you.
See it’s kinda like I, Claudius, where (some of) the writing and performances make all the obvious production problems and formatting irrelevant. If you can make it to Brian Blessed being on screen, you’ll enjoy the entire series.
A good movie has to be more than just a script, that is correct.
Wrong. Another example of “the script is all that mattered” was subset limited.
Actually my bad, this movie also has a piece of shit script, so even the script is dogshit.
A movie is more than just an intriguing backstory
And this is where you give some sort of criticism of the script. Which you won’t.
I won't because I don't have time. Simple as
I accept your concession, again.

Start from Page 1 and let me know when you encounter ANY kind of good writing. Literally any
There is not a single honest soul on this planet who can call any of that high school tier generic telenovela type garbage as good writing. Not a single noteworthy sentence, reads like a random generated generic high school play.
The good writing: his memory wasn’t flawless or encyclopedic, it was written by someone who understood memory, how it works, how the prehistoric landscape would appear, and how words would generally fail when trying to describe it.
>The good writing
Where? Literally, show it. You have the entire script at your disposal and you cant find a single example of good writing, because clearly there is none.
Thanks for proving that even the script is garbage
The good writing starts when he talks about how the prehistoric landscape was endless fields with little to no landmarks, how he has no real way of knowing where or even when he was born, because it would’ve been before cartography or calendars. People today, in hellholes, won’t know their exact date of birth.
There’s tons of shit you only “know” because someone told you. The movie deals/plays with that extremely elegantly and loops around and back on it numerous times. Because that’s the core idea. He only knows his name because the sound was always “John,” but it’s still something he was told. He doesn’t know where he was born because there was no one to tell him. He doesn’t know the exact day he was born because there was no one to tell him. He didn’t have a way to count the moons he was alive because there was no one to teach him math and since the point is his IQ is firmly 100, he wouldn’t have thought it was important enough to invent math (or calendars) to do it. The point is made several times that he’s just old, not a genius, not an inventor. Even his founding of Christianity was just him relaying other ideas he’d been told, and it turned into a nightmare that ended an empire and saddled humanity with the Roman Catholic Church. And then when one of his friends is deeply upset about being told she’s talking to the historical Jesus, he calms here by telling her it was just a practical joke.
This started off great, very well-acted and with an intriguing premise, but it settled into banal messaging about how people are bad and dumb and everyone needs to believe in some form of utopian Buddhist-Christian-liberalism. The other guy being Oldman's son was also hackneyed. I wish it'd done something more interesting with the premise.
I thought he just taught the old dude.
That's because the only good thing about it is the premise, everything else is garbage
>and everyone needs to believe in some form of utopian Buddhist-Christian-liberalism.
Where the frick did you get that from?
The man from his head told him.
It's designed to make you passively suggestive to picrel, corporate conditioning
You should watch Coherence for another low budget indie movie with surprisingly high quality.
Budget primer and doesn’t even have the “holy shit we figured out time travel” aspect
More like Primer but the plot is Coherent and everyone can follow along with the plot
So primer for morons.
>is the sequel any good.
NO
The sequel is fricking terrible, it was written by a completely different person, was intended as some kind of pilot for a tv show that never happened and is weirdly enough pseudo christian propaganda?
It's really really bad
This movie was so ass, I watched it because people said it was good and it had Star Trek writera so I had faith in it, but it wass. Then I check what Star Trek episode the writer did and it was Requiem for Methuselah, which was also a piece of shit and had the same premise. If I had known that was the writer who did it beforehand I never would have bothered.
I like the idea of the movie, but the acting is... some of the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie.
