The Man from Earth (2007)

The Man from Earth (2007), directed by Richard Schenkman, written by Jerome Bixby, is a movie that I would say is a testimony to story telling. It also shows the power of human imagination.

I do not want to build up excitement, which always leads to dissappointment.

I stumbled across this movie, had it for a while, then one day just decided to view it and was really taken back with the story and the simple nature of the movie.

The movie is a story telling, the main characters are all in a house around a fire listening to a man who tells them a superb story.

The summary of the movie is such - a group of college professors decide to give a send off party to a professor who has decided to move out. The party turns out to a story telling which leaves everyone in the room disturbed and confused. Hope this sounds exciting without giving away much.

Read about the movie more if you want at IMDB and Wikipedia, find it, then forget about it, then one day just sit down with a warm drink enjoy this movie. You will really appreciate it.
