A well executed low budget chamber piece, although a little preachy and certainly satanic.Interesting that Buddhist caveman Jesus (who hates Christianity) didn't mention Muhammad, Islam, or anything related to its brutal spread. Interesting that a lot of anti-"religious" pieces end up being nearly exclusively anti-christian.And weird choice to cast a dude who looks like Jeff Ep as 14000 year old Jesus who finds a new woman to fuck every ten years. thats quite an age gap
>have to account for immortal age-gaps nowTiresome
>why is this movie centered around a "the main character is Christ" twist so focused on Christianity?
>>224205746why would he want anything to do with islam? he wanted actually good things for the world
>I CANNOT BELIEVE this man from a Western historically Christian country is criticizing Christianity! It's mind breaking! Mind boggling!
>>224205966He's asking why John Oldman didn't go on a rant about Islam, and is calling the movie 'satanic' because of this
>>224205966>>224205746i didn't even reach the last paragraph. how the fuck can you think he looks like epstein?! you are literally a faceblind schizo
>>224205927>decides to make a kino concept like a caveman who did not age past 35 into a hit piece on Christianity by making him the historical jesus so they have an excuse to lecture the audience on various reasons to doubt christianitywhat were the writers thinking? other than "how can I turn an otherwise fun concept into a deranged anti-christian polemic?" of course
>>224205966Islam had a religious obligation to read, just like Judaism. Christianity had preachers since it wasnt a requirement to read, I guess.
>>224206017It's a thought experiment. There is absolutely nothing anti-christian about it
>>224206052>lets make a brain-in-a-vat movie>oh what if the brain-in-vat guy is jesus??>*70 percent of the film is a lecture on why you should doubt Christianity the parts about him being a caveman that doesn't die were fine, but then it shifted to the writers seething at Christianity
>>224206045Yeah, I'm sure all those goatfucker shepherds from Afghanistan were reading Koran.
>Interesting that a lot of anti-"religious" pieces end up being nearly exclusively anti-christian.That's because Christian proselytizing and the victim complex built into the religion are uniquely annoying.
No one in America, other than maybe a couple hippies, ever thought about Islam before 9/11.
>>224206262It gets mentioned in the 13th warrior. He is Muslim, same as Morgan Freeman in robin hood.
>>224206183its why muslims are so high IQ LOL
>>224206262this movie was made in 2007
>>224206307Oh.I was confusing it with The Man Who Fell To Earth
This is the ultimate midwit movie.
>>224205746I'm a Christian. Still a comfy watch.RIP Tony Todd
>>224205927Christ is a central figure in Islam, too, you retarded fuckstain.
>>224205746It's great until the dumb Jesus twist. Leave that part out and it's a better movie
>>224205746I thought it was a alien movie ngl
the jesus reveal doesnt make sense as he ascended to the heavens and that was it. he didn't stick around like this dude>>224207288check out xpax its literally this but instead of jesus spacey is an alien
The Man from Earth is the ultimate pleb detector.It's for people who feel "smart" after watching it without realising how fucking 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.
>>224207710thread's over yall, he ran out of bait posts already
>>22420771012 angry men is absolute garbage, just a propaganda piece used to drill it into post-war american skulls that if they're ever on jury duty and the defendant is a nonwhite you should find any excuse possible to let him go or cause a mistrial
>>224208038can two spammers bait each other into a whole thread of sloppa?
>American calls something "satanic"
>>224205746>>224206120>>224207165>>224208424It's a Christian movie, just anti catholic. Protestants exist because the bible is pretty different from church doctrine, the historical Jesus wouldn't like catholicism. Catholics go crazy at the idea of Jesus as a real man with real ideas, but the drive of protestantism was always modernizing christianity, e.g. the real presence debate. JOHN is merely a radical protestant Jesus, the perfect manifestation for 2007 when christianity was a subject of ridicule. Not the creator of the universe or a distant god, but a real man with real ideas who wants to tell you something important. You, atheist that you are, imagined enemy of Christ, he found a way into your mindspace.
>>224208667>Catholics go crazy at the idea of Jesus as a real man with real ideaswhat are you talking about? he's seen as both a man and a God.
>>224208801His status as part of a trinity with the creator of the universe and poochie is emphasized above his real life and message. It's not that important to my point.
American Protestants are insane

>>224206262They did, actually
>>224207367KPax, friend. Xpax is a powerful laxative
Satanic? Christfags are so cringe
>>224205746>Americans be likeSome of you are still living in Satanic panic and Red Scare.
>>224207288Maybe you're thinking of this
>>224208038Must be tiresome living like this.
>>224205746Imagine being such a failure you literally have existed since the start of time and you still somehow found yourself in some shit hole house surrounded by a bunch of asshole pseuds who don't believe the one thing you try to tell them as truth. Id fucking gun em all down and go have sex while high on cocaine
>>224207710>>224208038yep, I tried watching 12 angry men recently because its another "people sitting in a room talking" movie; man from earth is good, so this one might be too!nope, its liberal propaganda; I got about halfway through it and closed the window in disgustgarbageThe Man from Earth is probably my 5th favorite movie; I watch it every few years. I don't care about the bad acting; I find it charming. I like stories about immortals and this one is the most grounded and well throught out one Ive seen. People who say its a hit-piece on christianity are just your typical modern fake christians. Also it just has good atmosphere. Some guy posted a thread about in on /b/ in 2010 and I just happened to see the thread and had the time and inclination to check it out; glad I did. Found out the guy who wrote it also wrote my favorite original star trek episode, but I only found that out after watching and liking both of them separately. Small world.
>>224210238the entire point of the movie is that he wants to stay below the radar so he doesnt have to spend a thousand years picked apart by scientists.and that his claims are ultimately impossible to prove because he doesnt keep memorabilia and, as already mentioned, takes every precaution to slip into new identities seamlessly.no baggage or contact, surviving undetected is his endgame
>>224207710Filtered
>>224205746It would've been better if he was actually lying.
It's not a good looking movie, I know it was made for pocket change but they could have at least tried to make it stylish.
>>224211710The cabin is comfy
>>224205994They both have a face with rugged features, and salt-and-pepper hair, much like a male model from a Viagra commercial. If you lack the ability to discern similarities and differences, you should be the last to call someone "literally a faceblind schizo."

>>224214936Well they made a modern sequel but they had to try and explain why he started aging
>>224214936>watch a new movieYou couldn't possibly have said anything gayer than this.

>>224215529Yes, it should be thrown in one.
