Atheist movies: The Man From Earth

Post by Chinaski » Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:00 pm

Anyone seen this? Don't want to give away any spoilers, but it's pretty awesome. Strong atheistic message.
Is there for honest poverty
That hangs his heid and a' that
The coward slave, we pass him by
We dare be puir for a' that.

According to Wiki...
The movie gained recognition in part for being widely distributed through Internet peer-to-peer networks and its producer publicly thanked users of these networks for this.
So I would have no compunctions about obtaining it via such methods, had I the urge to watch it... :tea:

I enjoyed that film. The premise is certainly something I've thought about in detail ever since hearing about the wandering Jew when I was young.

I loved how their susceptibility to belief fucked them over, especially in relation to their other, previously existing beliefs. :ask:

I downloaded this the other day and watched it in two sittings yesterday and today. What a cracking little film! Very moving in bits too! See it if you can!

This film could easily be done as a play.
