Jerome Bixby is an old school
writer of the sci-fi („Twilight zone” - movie, „Star Trek” – TV series) and his final
testimony bears that spirit of storytelling.
„The man from earth” can hardly be
classified as a movie itself, since it is basically a theatre play filmed by a
cheap camera. Casting is all „B” and „C” and the production is on the level of
TV movie endeavours. But all of that won't matter at all since the script
steals the show and awes tha average viewer offering some of the most memorable
ideas and dialogues in the newer movie history.
The basic concept of a man saying
goodbye to a bunch of friends and colleagues by revealing a shocking truth about
himself is just the begining. Story and plot thickens from that point, sucking
in philosophy, history, science and religion along its way. The outcome will be only
logical and so inspiring that your brain will refuse to stop working after the
credits.
„The man from Earth” is one of the most
original science fiction movies ever made and maybe the best „small” movie in
history of indie production.
