Movie Review : The Man from Earth

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas.  What if? What if? What if? 

This movie about a person born 14000 years ago who just never died is pretty interesting.  It is almost more of a play as the actors never leave the room.  I take it back. Its actually about people’s reaction to him and how beliefs are held close. 

Could you believe someone who said that they were 14 thousand years old?  Most of 10 or so people in the movie can’t.  Especially when he claims to be someone from the bible and that the whole Christian movement is a big fraud. 

The script is by Jerome Bixby who wrote many of the original Start Trek and Twilight Zone scripts.

This is a good flick if you are into philosophy or deep thinking.  Otherwise, skip it.
