Why do we love science fiction?
Daily movie sharing, there is temperature, depth, breadth, just waiting for you to pay attention! @Eight Precepts Say Movie m
Because of cool special effects? Because of the magic and imagination of future technology? Or is it because there are many doubts in the heart about this world?
Perhaps for Mark personally, the biggest charm of science fiction is to make people think.
The feeling of constantly getting closer to the truth and the brain running at high speed is addictive.
What I want to recommend to you today is a sci-fi "blockbuster" made for only ten thousand dollars - "The Man from Earth".
This Man From Earth The Man From Earth (2007) Director: Richard Schainkman Starring David Lee Smith / Tony Todd / John Billingsley

I don't know if the person who Chinese translated the name from that time was inadvertently inserted or witty as me (really faceless).
The translation cleverly avoids spoilers, but the word "earth" here should be translated as "cave."
So many people have been subconsciously thinking that the male protagonist is an alien, in fact, there is no half-dime relationship.
With as little spoiler as possible, let me tell you:
Why is this science fiction movie with a whole film as a main scene and all the plot unfolding through dialogue being worshipped as a god by countless science fiction fans?
The film starts less than ten minutes ago and raises the most central question of the whole movie -
If someone lived from the Paleolithic to the present day, what would he be like?
To explain, that is, if someone lived about 14,000 years.
Normally, it's just a small talk topic, and it's not even particularly interesting.
But throughout the film, countless careful machines are set up from the beginning, pointing all the problems in one direction.
The male protagonist, a professor at the University School of History who has been teaching for ten years, suddenly has to move.
Give up on your friends for many years, and a career that is on the rise.
The reason for moving is unconvincing, and at first glance you know that there is something difficult to say.
A painting suspected of being van Gogh's original was found in the man's luggage.
On the back is also written "To My Friend" in French.
There is a hunting bow for hunting in the man's home.
Find Paleolithic antiques in the corner at your fingertips.
The most important thing is that the appearance of the male protagonist has hardly changed in ten years.
Of course, if it is a group of ordinary people to talk about this matter, it is not interesting.
But the friends of the male protagonist are all high-level intellectuals with a complete world outlook and rigorous academic thinking.
Archaeology, History, Biomedical and so on.
Rest assured, although I have said so much, I have not even finished the first ten minutes of the plot.
The whole movie can be said to be a movie supported by the screenwriter.
Compared with the science fiction blockbusters that now invest hundreds of millions of dollars, this movie that does not even have 5 mao special effects has really touched many science fiction fans.
The night talk of the hearth, the wandering of the gods, the philosophy of religion, the eloquence.
The birth of science fiction is derived from the never-ending thinking of human beings, about time, about human beings, about technology, about thinking itself.
The authentic charm of science fiction is also reflected in the fierce collision of ideas between the creator and the viewer.
In the end, the ending is semi-open, and you can choose to believe or not to believe.
If you believe it, some of the identities of the male protagonist are enough to subvert many people's three views
