Title: The Man from Earth

So, I've watched this now and I think it is honestly quite amazing. It's very different from any movie I've seen in a long time, but the story is just so good that even if it only takes place in and around this small hut, and there are only seven or so people in the movie, it still works amazingly well.

I'm of course into the whole theoretical discussion about how it'd be like, what one would feel, think, behave and so on and so on about the whole concept, so I guess the movie strikes me spot on.

Best film I've seen since the LOTR series ended I think.

Just watched it.  Some interesting ideas.  Have to say the writer and I share a lot of ideas about early Christianity and the evolution of the church.

I could post some epic quotes, but I think they'd spoil it a bit too much :)

Would have been a lot better with some better actors, too.

Marvelous!

Really, really great fun.

Some interesting ideas, and a few concepts that make you just grin and think for a little bit.

Well worth watching. It's only a short one anyway...
