What happens to John after this story? He eventually goes into space, settles on a small planet that he owns, meets Capt Kirk, McCoy, and Spock. The original writer of this story also wrote the Star Trek episode "Requiem for Methuselah", which is roughly the same story, but in space.
Thanks for that tidbit - I am going to go rewatch that episode right now!
That character never claim he was Jesus, he claim Merlin and some others.
@@sophiawilson8696 By the time he met Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, he had learned his lesson. I just thought it was funny that the guy who wrote the Star Trek episode in 1966 recycled the same idea into a different story 30 years later.
and most of the cast, had acted in some Star Trek series too :)
The Doctor on the Enterprise series is the man wearing glasses.
It's true - this is a fascinating movie. I confess I spent the whole time thinking of ways he could prove his claim, but of course, he doesn't really want to. It is definitely one of those movies that leave you wondering what it would be like to be him. "What if I had lived that long?" What would it be like to know what daily life had been like though all those aeons? What would it have been like to have seen the 7 wonders of the ancient world? To have heard people talking about Stonehenge when it was initially built - the engineering feat of all time? To have survived war after war after war ... to learn and learn and learn and come to understand all the things that had once been mysteries. Just so much to imagine!
Can't see a way that he couldn't prove his story since human scientists know everything he says, and the religious side is nonsense.
Remember he can't remember everything. So unless you write a diary but that would be only when writing became more popular.
Here's something wild: he eventually DID prove everything 300 years later after fleeing Earth when he met several people from the USS Enterprise commanded by James T. Kirk. He was calling himself Flint by that time. The episode was Requiem for Methuselah. Same author, same character!
@@vaasnaad I am going to have to go rewatch that one!
I have seen this movie twice. It is one of the best underrated science fiction movies ever made. The great thing here is... all the science is expressed in dialogue, and the special effects are, as far as I can tell, nonexistent. But the STORY! All revolving around one guy who may... or may not... be what he says he is. This is a masterpiece of cinema, and should be required viewing in schools.
right! and the story takes place almost exclusively in one room.. brilliant production!
same i has read and looking holy bible have only lot story, same than grimms brothers story or santa claus. totally only childrens story all have.
I have watched it multiple times myself and find it a very underrated and creative story.
you dont know what a good movie is.....
I have watched it twice myself, it's brilliant.
I'll add my 2 cents. This is an amazing movie with a great premise. No CGI, just great scripting, casting, direction and acting. What *would* it be like for an immortal? The same theme is found in the short story "Grotto of the Dancing Deer" and Simak's "Times last gift".
If you haven't watched this movie and like thought provoking ideas, go watch it.
I've read the story 'Grotto of the Dancing Deer' years ago, I don't know what happened to the book it was contained in, I'd love to get that book again, because it had lots of other great stories in.
Indeed. Also I think the same author wrote a Star Trek episode called "Requiem for Methuselah" with a similar story line but The Man from Earth was a great watch
@@icepicker8528 From what I have read he wrote a few Star Trek Episodes !!!!! I didn't know about this film until this appeared in my feed, I got the film and I actually quite like it, I'm not so keen on the sequel, if they do another sequel I hope they get rid of the 'religious nutter' who stabbed him, and also please that ending !!!!!!!!! I think they might be going towards a 'Cain and Able' type of thing.
Thats what you get when the script had been worked on for 38 years... Jerome Bixby started with it in 1960 and finished it in 98.
@@SuperSlapek Yeah I guess your right, mind you I suppose if someone said that they were Jesus, I suppose the religious minded might go a bit nuts. I'm not religious at all, so to me I'd ask him how he thought about how he has been remembered and written about for the last 2000 years.
But I really hope if they do a third one, please keep it away from religious rubbish.
The premise of this story is pretty much what the original premise of The Highlander was before quickenings and other immortals were added into the lore after several rewrites. The original script for The Highlander was only about one immortal, there were no others - just him - and how the story revolved on the concept of idea/theme of immortality (whether it was a blessing or a curse).
@Tracchofyre the story got changed during his many retellings of how he first "drafted" the script over the years. The one thing I remember reading was about that in a magazine that is now no longer in publication.
Either that, or I went through my own Mandela Effect... who knows? 😅
@Tracchofyre yep, that's how I remember the interview for the article was written. He at one time stated it was a story of only the Highlander, and how he goes through life being immortal and only added details like the quickening, etc. I forgot the rest, but I also remember how one of his drafts included the fact his original immortal wasn't sterile - and that the character every now and then attended his children's funerals later in life over the years.
I can't believe how thought-provoking this film was or why I have never heard of it before now! Minute by minute, it held me on the edge of my seat! An unknown masterpiece!
The movie is called the man from earth by Jerome Bixby I think he even wrote some Startrek episodes of the original series.
If you liked this movie you might also like the movie Primer.
They knew the earth was round. Columbus was trying to get to Asia not prove the earth was round. The ancient Greeks had already accurately calculated the circumference of the earth.
And with all the technology we have today , they still use the Greek, water well calculation .... and people like you still buy it ...
@@MastaFlex-lz2qzplease enlighten us.
There is a reason I call the 19th century The Age of Mythmaking. So many modern myths like this one come from that time.
Nope. They got it from the Egyptians. They learned from Egypt, Mesopotamia and Persia. Fuck, even the history of science and philosophy has been whitewashed to prop up "Western Civilization"...
@@JakeSmith-em5shI just did
This was done already. It's called "Highlander". There can be only One!
😂 yea but Duncan did it better 😅
Probably the last serious movie to ask these questions. Just sit there and talk for 2 hours, and it's brilliant
One novel that examines what practical immortality would do to people's lives in a group context is A Feast Unknown. An underground classic.
Do you ever get the feeling like with Jesus and the apostles. All of them were teachers in their respective fields sitting with John talking and him passing down wisdom and information. Like a loop. He ended up doing the very thing again. People he respected decided to be honest. I get the feeling the physiologist who was his son may have been Judas in reverse. Simulated killing Jim with a gun but didn’t. 😮
Changing identities every 10 years?
I would think in Modern Day you could go 20, maybe even 30 or more with the right kind of makeup (adding grey to your hair, hiring a professional makeup artist to add wrinkles, but limit your time out in public).
Hell, even make an identity as a recluse, and live 'off the grid' where not many people see you.
This is true, however due to governments government agents and sleeper sales route the country. They would be following him because everything is damn near monitor. So 10 years is approximate in appropriate for this modern daytime. And back then he probably went 20 to 30 years, but they’ll be back down to 10 years because people had a very witchcraft or witchhunt type of mentality. If you’re something different and I don’t understand then you are a demon you must be a demon. Was the mentality of many people back then, even though we’ve come supposedly far today, most people still sport the same type of mentality they fear what they do not understand.
These days it would be too difficult to fake new paperwork every 10 years: Driver's License, SSN, Birth Certificate, etc. He would have to live completely off-grid. But he'd still eventually be found out, once his DNA and fingerprints got into the system. 1 arrest, or 1 visit to the hospital, and the jig is up the 2nd time he goes, especially if it's decades apart, with his face/body remaining unchanged.
Off to a secret government lab to be locked away and studied he goes...
I think for an character like this. Probably the persone is a billionaire. He can hides himself from anything and anyone
Oh yeah this is one of the best hidden gems of sci-fi drama and great story telling. I would highly recommend it as a much watch.👍👍
This would be a realistic scenario for an immortal.
Aka DCs Vandal Savage, one of my favorite villains.
I watched this years ago. Its sad its filmed like a low budget TV movie cos the content and dialogue is a little bit thought provoking (couldve gone deeper IMO). Definitely worth a watch, but dont drift off into social media land as it requires your full attention
i think the low budget is what makes it work so well ;)
Ah yes, I remember. This is the movie about The Emporer of Mindkind (40k), and what he liked to do before the Galaxy went tits up.
I love this movie. It causes you to think. To question. To imagine.
Most movies do this...
This is such a great movie. For the most part, just a few people in a room, talking. This recap spoils it, though. The power of the movie comes in the slow, deliberate pacing.
The Holocene version is great too . Cleverly done ! Is there any more ??
I saw and bought this movie in about 2011 or so and was obsessed with the ideas, dialogue and fact a movie entirely held in a room could be so captivating. This recap blows my mind and makes me realize all the bits of knowledge I could never fully appreciate then and also nostalgic at the path of self education I have travelled. I think it's true, what he says, not only for him but maybe ultimately for us all in our time. If you told people they would die or have their memories wiped to be reborn while you plan on slipping that fate and continuing on, immortal, they would HATE you for it. It's only human. Of course they would. But I don't think immortals are happy, for all the reasons he gave and that they're bored.
If you notice in most vampire movies, the older ones slp for years for that exact reason
@@joefromdc “and all my friends were vampires
Didn’t know they were vampires
Turns out I was a vampire myself in the devil town.”
Thanks for the piece 👍🏼
A real thinker. I enjoyed this film very much. Thanks
Good sci-fi does not require special effects, just good story telling and good acting.
Stupid bit. He met Buddha and said this guy was the best, but not a mention of Jesus, who worked astounding miracles, raised the dead, and actually rose from the grave Himself, and started the Church… how could he have missed Jesus!?!?
Criminally underrated and undermarketted.
The second started well, but descended into cliche pretty badly.
Spoiler: just because you've lived thousands of years, doesn't mean you can go cheap and claim to have been Jesus.
It would have been so, so much better to have maybe seen him and then maybe ended as one of the criminals executed alongside him but have YOUR resurrection conflated into Jesus and a religion you despise form from that against your will....but that would be too "hard" and would upset a bunch of people who would almost certainly never see your movie.
Well, it might upset the bible bashers in the US but most of the world wouldn't care and still go to see it.
i'm confused.. this is what happens in the movie
I would like very much for my life to be like John's. I think it would be such a gift to live for multiple millennia. The things you'd see, the things you'd know. To exist in this same body and be a witness to the history of humankind, to watch our sun become a black dwarf eons from now has been my dream for as long as i can remember.
And Ohh, the Taxes you'd pay.
I saw this movie a couple of times, it really messed up my mind, The idea of Jesus living among us is chilling and the realisation is indescribable.
I recommend the 2nd part of this movie - The Man from Earth: Holocene
What makes life so precious is that it is limited. Failing to age & die means never having a true connection with any part of humanity.
Before the tower of babbel man lived thousands of years. Also when Jesus was carrying his cross he fell in exhaustion. A man yelled to jesus"get up" Jesus said" I will keep walking after I take a rest but you will not die until I return."
i bet the other person he met was the Count of St. Germain
Aiight
Who?
I have seen this film and it enoyed me how the 'FRIENDS' gathered as educated, civilized, Intellectuals and yet they still behave as the hated filled jelious primatives of 10000 years ago. And isn't this the real message of this film and why he has to leave.
This was a great movie, it mostly takes place in his one room. You are left wondering until the very end, then you get some answers. Worth the watch and there is a second movie continuing the story. It is good too.
There was a sequel where some high schoolers figure him out
What was that movie called I know this movie is called the man from earth. But this has a narrator in the movie the cast spoke.
we don't talk about it :/
Was a great movie and it made a lot of sense when he explained it.
Please do a break down of the next movie in this series. Very good. I feel like i just watched the entire movie.
It really was a great movie.i would have liked to see more like flash backs.
i actually had an idea for a story about a woman i knew lol who became a time traveler but by going back in time she became "immortal" and lived for 10,000 years lol would have been an epic saga for sure lol
DNA will make it harder for these types to stay hidden!
14:35 you mean "John's wife name was Nola" Right? Not "John's Mom is Nola". I had to watch this part over and over again to finally make sense. Because "John mom is Nola" Doesn't made sense at all.
My old lady's name is Nola.
@@guugleiswatching I know, the narration said, "Nola was John mom
@@spectra9954 uhhh how d'you know? I was just saying that my lady friend name is Nola.
@@guugleiswatching ok
this happened to me too! i just figured i misunderstood as it became clear from context that john was the guys dad
This is a good movie. I like it.
I went into this movie without knowing anything about it...Blew my mind. Great movie. I didn't like the 2nd one.
great movie
makes you think
wasn't a fan of the doctor but he did add to movie. they did cut part of his actions in the recap
not action adventure just a warning if that's all you like
hard to find on streaming now much like dogma. need to get a dvd of it if it exists. i had to get a foreign copy of dogma as it's been removed from english speaking countries it seems
There is an episode of the original Star Trek with exactly the same premise. I don't remember which season. That was the mid 60s. That was long before Highlander. Obviously a very popular premise.🖖
😂 Barron will get it all, and take great delight in flipping the birdie to Don Jr, Eric , and Ivanka. 😂😂
This movie only chatting but fascinating..not boring make us thinking what if..
The only problem is they're trying to establish Buddha before Jesus, but Buddha was after. For a guy that learned to be smart and the silk road existing, the writer has left out a large chunk where he would've me Confucius.
It seems that Bhudda's time was about 4 centuries before Jesus.
@@Loukyan Yeah a big plot hole there, when the Buddhist religion is only 2,500 years ago. So it would then create a 1,500 year absence.
@@growlusnotneeded3251Christianity is only 2000 years old. Buddha existed before Jesus. This is fairly common knowledge. You are mistaken.
the issue is that even if someone like this really is in existence, all the religious lies and explanations made over the whole timespan formed us humans to not believe whats real, we believe an "idea" of something bigger than us. Everything would just fall apart and the whole cardhouse would collapse and result in chaos. Imagine how the strong religious countries would react to such a revelation. It would be devastating the entire base of their infrastructure of believing^^
I have no doubt if Jesus returned and was proven to be really the Son of a diety the catholic church would have Him killed - along with all the other religions. They're all about money these days and nothing else. Look at all the money they have, but they still beg their believers for more. I believe in God, I just don't follow any organised mainstream religions any longer - I follow my own road.
Relax, it's just a movie, lol.
Really? So, if tomorrow everyone comes to know there's no God or no heaven/hell, everyone would turn into murderers?
The "strongly religious" would just ignore anything that contradicts their beliefs, including a supposedly immortal man who supposedly helped start a religion. I'm not picking on the religious in particular. Believers in pseudoscience or certain political views can be just as intransigent.
You need to watch the SECOND movie then, because it shows what would happen almost blow-by-blow as you suggested.
Religion makes more sense if it was just an old person with wisdom of the ages tried to help, and like now, the government and power system attacks anyone trying to change or take away their power. Then their story just gets twisted over time.
Of course it does, because that's the only way your human mind can accept it. Some people have had real experiences with God.
How much sense does the absence of religion make to you?
@@txcaviaha
There is a way that makes sense to a man. It leads to death. Read the scriptures. It will tell you who Yeshua really is. He is your king and your savior, not some fantasy wish-fulfillment straw man. You don’t want to know the truth because you love your lies and Sins more than your Maker.
@@johntessier8064he never existed. And the maker doesn't care about so called sins.
Immortal: Do not speak to me about religeon, witch! I was there when it was created!
I loved that movie, but alas, as is so often the case they did a sequel which destroyed the "Dream" of the movie.
I remember watching this movie; I really enjoyed the story telling for such a low budget. Going into the Jesus part is a bit jarring. It's pretty telling this is someone's "opinion" of what they think about Jesus is about. It's the one part that should have been scratched. He's an average guy who lived through all of history, except for that time he was Jesus and tried to teach people Buddhism (or something). Otherwise, it was good for a movie with such a low budget it had to rely 100% on story telling. Which it does well.
Sadly they made a terrible sequel to this movie, which is totally not worth your time.
I remember I watched the first 30min of that movie but you don't need to watch the movie to know who was Jesus in reality.
He was just a man who created a different religion just to stand up against the Roman Empire.
Then the Romans found out about him, executed him and all his followers who were martyrs were taken to Rome.
On the way to Rome, these martyrs spread the story and gained more followers. When these martyrs were executed at
the colosseum, the movement gained even more momentum to the point that even wealthy and high ranked people in Rome would join it.
And that's pretty much it 😅
If this man was talking I'd think he was talking metaphorically and philosophically about all of this stuff. I wouldn't believe him though.
Sometimes less is more. The entire movie was just a conversation at a house, yet it's one of the best-written sci-fi movies I've seen. Don't bother watching the sequel. It sucks.
If immortality was real, it would be both a gift and a curse
There was a Star Trek episode with the same idea.
It's a great movie, I've seen it more than once. I also saw the sequel which is ok.
I've seen this movie. Definitely worth watching. As I recall it, it poses the question of - if Jesus returned today, he would NOT be what people l expected. And we probably would neither believe or accept him. Because, he'd be a man of NOW, Not the biblical, fictional person we believe he was.
He couldn't and wouldn't meet all our expectations and demands of what we THINK he SHOULD be. OR actually WAS.... Catch the movie if you can.
The movies pretty good it's worth the watch

So good❤

Actually watched the 2nd one first and then the first one about a month ago. Strange movie but pretty interesting.
What if you leave me alone, and i wouldn't tell this unsual story that i live 25,000 ago 🤣i bet you will call me crazy
Great movie this one.
Languages change often, English sounded like Yiddish, even modern English has changed throughout my life, since the early 80s. Math is the only language that’s a constant and that’s because it’s not created bully humans, It’s a constant / it’s stable in the creation of all.
Math did bully . Google discovery of irrational numbers and resulting deaths by Pythagorean sect
I'm sorry, but English has never sounded like Yiddish, especially older versions of English that don't have the Middle English vowel shift.
Lol then why is my daughter doing math in dots now instead of actual numbers? I never learned that in school cuz it didn't exist so yeah math can also change
The "original" English would have sounded like Frisian. Even to this day, one can construct sentences in modern English and Frisian that are grammatically identical, using identical vocabulary (albeit with small spelling differences) and clearly mutually intelligible.
Yiddish would have a few similarities but it's not one of the Germanic languages that's actually all that close to English.
Your daughter is using dots probably because common core or whatever has replaced sucks.
I used to teach primary school in rural California. Taught 2nd graders math. Tossed out the books and lesson plans and had them learning the bare rudiments of algebra by the end of the school year after going through arithmetic, including long division. Kids can learn a LOT more a LOT quicker if you make it fun, don't condescend, and they have gotten enough exercise to sit still and absorb the lessons.
I absolutely love this movie! I always try to get other people to watch it. It really makes you think
I love this movie, and its sequel.
Immortality is false when you can die… I’ll watch on an comment again.
loved this movie, one of my favorites.
Fantastic story. Worth the watch.
....don't watch the sequel. It was bad and makes a mockery of the original.
Both the movies are directed by the same person. Richard Schenkman.
But written by different people.
So now, this theory about Jesus may not be so far fetch.
What’s the name of the movie?
What movie title is this I seriously want to watch this.
This was a good movie, although the sequel not so much.
Excellent movie
The issue I'd have with living forever would be the age I'm stuck at. Imagine for a moment your a one hundred or one thousand year, let alone longer; Infant, two year old, preteen, teen, etc. etc. etc. Imagine having to live in a hospice forever when your too old to do anything but drool, and mumble, let alone wipe your own ass.
Muy buena película que atrapa desde el inicio ✨
Loved this movie. It was a damn shame how bad the sequel sucked.
So he was the old man's father.
One of the best ultra low budget movies. Unfortunately the sequel is one of the worst.
great movie. one of my fav.
14000 or 4000? Video said 4000 right?
good movie, but life is far more interesting when you know the truth of it.
title please
Technically it wasn't Rome that he lost to, it was the Pharisees. The Romans were merely the executioners.
And the Sadducees. They were called that because they were sad, you see.
Not as fun as it sounds...
Emotionally exhausting...
It is one of the most unintelligent movies I have seen ... and as a consequence, feels endless. It answers prejudice with prejudice, and ignorance with more ignorance.
Basically Jesus was a Buddhist...
Should never have opened his mouth
He must be the one who remains 😂
6:58 PM 10/14/2023 I never seen this movie but what was crazy with him talking? The fact he claimed to be jesus christ in bible or talking about living forever (cheating death)?
Really liked this movie. Very interesting.
38 is the lifespan the human body was designed for.
Which seems to be working quite well for the Russian army these days.

Who’s to say it’s fiction? A great many things haven’t been explained throughout history.
Hollywood is 99.999999% fiction. Especially the films they make where they say “based on a true story”.
