Personally, I wish that Oldman would have claimed to be the Apostle Paul or Peter, not Jesus. Other than that, I thought this entire movie was brilliantly thought out.
Just finished my first of many viewings, it was intelligent, thought provoking, funny, emotive, well acted, extremely well written and presented some of the most interesting ideas iv'e heard in a long time, truely fantastic picture.

@hiphopapotamus85 Yup, great film. Very enjoyable to watch. If you liked this I also recommend checking out the china syndrome..not quite the same sort of thing, but it's a thinker.
ich war angenehm überrascht als ich gestern eine "star-trek episode" gesehen hatte die auch auf dieser story, in abgewandeltelter form, basierte; "Requiem for Methuselah"
LOVED this MOVIE!!!! Seen it about 3 times and each time it sends me into a new dream. Would love to see a remake,,different angle.. a continuation.. and exploration of these HUGE ideas... WONDERFUL
Thank you to all who were involved in this movie. I stumbled onto it by chance one day and have rewatched it on almost a weekly if not daily basis - A great piece of work - calming, relaxing - relying on a great story to guide it and it does that fantastically well.
You don't even realise how easily you get pulled in until you have reached the end of the movie and are still thinking "What If". My thanks to all...
@cypherbob I agree, I think "calming, relaxing" does describe this film very well. I was surprised at that feeling but I just felt really invested from the beginning.
I was originally skeptical of this film because of its single location shot, but all the good reviews convinced me to "watch for a little bit" and ended up engrossed in John's story as much as the cast. Awesome concept and well told, great movie!
This is such a great movie, they need to re do it and make it bigger and better, like showing scenes of him back in the day, and talking back in present times to the people. That would be awesome
This is such a great movie, they need to re do it and make it bigger and better, like showing scenes of him back in the day, and talking back in present times to the people. Thnat would be awesome
It is an amazing piece of movie making. One room, few peoples and story. That movie showed that we don't need Hollywood stars and many explosions. It's all about good story and action. Seriously one of the best movies ever!
I love movies that in the end they leave you with questions such as "What if... ?".
It doesn't matter if we don't have all the answers, what matters are the many questions we are left with; questions make you think, hope, dream, wonder, doubt, etc - however, answers, do the opposite.
For all those people who believe the movie to be bad and it's viewers atheists- here's something to consider. You see, it's not a matter of whether the movie is atheistic or not. It tries to show the illusionary, restricted and stubborn world we live in and the "reality" we accept. Think about it- why couldn't the protagonist's story be true? You have no proof against it and yet you deny it.
@nani5555 Ugh. For the millionth time - extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Otherwise I could just say that a midget rules the universe from under a rock on the moon, or whatever other "things that you have no proof against."
@maulcs and who's to definitively say that there is no midget under a rock on the moon? No one has proof against it in the strictest manner... although the idea is incredulous. I wouldn't disbelieve the claim until every corner of the moon was searched...! But you cannot deny the movie is much better than 90% of the movies that hollywood produces.
Definitely one of my top 5 all time favorite movies! Not flashy, but brilliantly done... wow. Wished I could sit with John Oldman and pick a part some much deeper questions.
Maybe it's the zen training talking, but John needed a good smack of the kesaku! Whether 100 years or 14,000 years old... just conceptualizations, nothing beyond what is here right now.
@brianbixby1982 LMAO..;.i have to say your grandfather stole my idea!! lol...such a great story, you should be very very proud. With a story like this, he immediately earns my respect. I had this idea, or a variation of it, down to the buddha and jesus thing...it was quite astonishing when i watched my story unravel before me. One of those moment that your jaw just drops...perhaps great minds do think alike. Hopefully so, he is a genius :-)
@brianbixby1982 Your grandfather has much to be proud of. This movie was an amazing low budget miracle. I've told so many people about it and they loved it too! :)
the first time i watched "man from earth" the rest of the night and next day i was like... "WTF i just watched"
a masterpiece...
If i was minister of education i would force school teachers to show this movie to the kids and give free copies even if the next day many parents (teachers too) would ask my head on a plate cause , you see, it is evil to think out of the box this days...
Just watched this movie for the 1st time never heard of it, it was awesome! Loved the break down of religions. What would you do if you lived that long. This is the first movie I have seen in a long time that really sparks the scientist in me :-)
@sawyergal whats your problem with it? if found it an engaging trip, a thinking man's movie... academic... i felt for tony todd, tall black guy, i wanted him to get more out of JESUS speaking, but the fear mongers and angry fools pushed him into a lie and retraction...
that long haired biker jock dickhead was the worst and then the shrink lost it... and the simpleton christian lady... while the open minded were the most inspiring, visionary and gracious of JESUS speaking...
@MrLizardisle Actually it was the other way around. Bixby wrote it as a screen play, and Richard Schenkel adapted it for the stage. It only just recently became available for Community theater.
Amazing! very engaging movie. No action. No sex. No CGI. One location. More or less same group of characters from beginning to end. But it feeds your mind with little effort and pulls you in, wanting more. A real hidden gem among the modern carbon copies manufactured recently by Hollywood.
I'm 17 and I really enjoyed this movie, I plan on recommending this movie to my Psych teacher he would love it and it deserves to be seen. This movie is very refreshing and I almost forgot this movie took place in a cabin, probably one of the best science fiction film of this decade. ^_^
And probably one of the cheapest ^_^ It's nice when someone remembers that story telling isn't all about running around and putting in as many special effects as possible.
I watched this movie and I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY! Just freakin' amazing! A shining example of what a great screenplay can do, without special effects, cars exploding and people covered in blood. Hollywood should make more of these kind of films. BTW I'm a 19 year old Hindu from India.
I was trying to imply that I totally dig the connection made in this movie, tat points out that western philosophies are actually another version of eastern philosophies! lol
whats the big deal if you are a hindu? wats the context here? the film does talk about india but its about the Buddha and i think he had discarded hinduism and preached his own thoughts. so wats the point?
@ajitsinghsidhu Because it's kind of boring honestly. But it's an amazing philosophical movie that you should definitely see if you want to look at religion from a different angle.
A friend of mine introduced me to this film. It was one of the more thought provoking films I have seen in the past 10 years. Its sad that it didn't get the exposure that it should have. In about 90 minutes, "The Man From Earth", covers some of the most perplexing issues that has faced humanity throughout the centuries - everything from the existence of God, to the validity of religious propositions, the accuracy of our history, and if we can accurately know anything.
such a thought provoking film! I was captivated without realising until the end that the whole film was based shot in 1 location! That's what makes this so brilliant for a science fiction film!!
Most thought provoking none documentary I've ever seen.Around a year ago I watched it and immediately watched it again. Still think about it often.Could someone buy it for me on my 4255th birthday.
This movie was great. I've seen it at least 5 times. It's become like a tradition to me. To see the human psychology involved is really inspiring. It shows us the negative sides of alot of us so that we can think about it whenever we hear about something amazing ourselves. How arrogant humanity seem to be. They went along with his story in their imagination, but whenever they faced the implications, they just couldn't believe him; regardless of whatever proof he may have been able to give.
how comes this film hasnt been in the cinemas? lol itjus seems like one of those underrated films bt i came accross it by accident and it seems fab plan 2 watch it tonite or tomoro..
This movie is an intellectual feast. I do not think I have ever seen another movie in my life that has given me as much to think about as this movie.
Very little action, Mostly dialogue, it requires an open mind going in.
I watched this movie twice in a row, and again a few days later, and it looks like I am not the only person who did. lol. It is a trully great movie, and I honestly don't think I will ever be the same after having seen it.
I loved this movie BUT if you havent seen the original ending of the butterfly effect you havent really seen that movie. The VERY ending to MFE was really good BUT the 'alternate' end to BFE blew my mind.
I always screen my movies. Before i see them, see what image is there half way in the movie, then three quaters in and with this these old old folks were just sitting around in all three images! :O
Well, did that three times - had not read a thing about and then said "oh well, let's give it a spin". I am a movie-man and i never watch a movie twice within 2 years or so, but with this i watched it - watched it again 2 hours later and then a third time 2 days later.
@iikrazixx I don't think the age matters... well, if you are 'too' young, you probably won't understand some of the references. However, the key to appreciate this movie is not necessarily about the 'right' age, but to be open minded.
westchinaman name some movies that you liked.I loved The Mist,Shaw Shank Redemption,The Green Mile to name a few.The man from earth didnt do it for ME.
what the hell you talking about the butterfly effect. it was commercial trash!!! Somebody proposes a truely good film to you and you talk about rubbish like this!!! What's wrong with you.

such a thought provoking film! I was captivated without realising until the end that the whole film was based shot in 1 location! That's what makes this so brilliant for a science fiction film!!

This movie was great. I've seen it at least 5 times. It's become like a tradition to me. To see the human psychology involved is really inspiring. It shows us the negative sides of alot of us so that we can think about it whenever we hear about something amazing ourselves. How arrogant humanity seem to be. They went along with his story in their imagination, but whenever they faced the implications, they just couldn't believe him; regardless of whatever proof he may have been able to give.

This movie is an intellectual feast. I do not think I have ever seen another movie in my life that has given me as much to think about as this movie.
Very little action, Mostly dialogue, it requires an open mind going in.
I watched this movie twice in a row, and again a few days later, and it looks like I am not the only person who did. lol. It is a trully great movie, and I honestly don't think I will ever be the same after having seen it.
I would recommend it to everyone.

I loved this movie BUT if you havent seen the original ending of the butterfly effect you havent really seen that movie. The VERY ending to MFE was really good BUT the 'alternate' end to BFE blew my mind.

I always screen my movies. Before i see them, see what image is there half way in the movie, then three quaters in and with this these old old folks were just sitting around in all three images! :O
Well, did that three times - had not read a thing about and then said "oh well, let's give it a spin". I am a movie-man and i never watch a movie twice within 2 years or so, but with this i watched it - watched it again 2 hours later and then a third time 2 days later.
IT'S SO FUCKING GREAT!

Utter Bullshit, I am under 18 and I loved it. Truly magnificent, thought provoking and intelligent film.
ginkgonk122 2 years ago
@iikrazixx I don't think the age matters... well, if you are 'too' young, you probably won't understand some of the references. However, the key to appreciate this movie is not necessarily about the 'right' age, but to be open minded.
