After around 12 hours resting, I felt as reborn! While having a quick breakfast, I played one of the movie that I downloaded yesterday, titled "The Man From Earth" (Note: This is not a good choice for Christian and Buddist because it might be a sacrilege).
Another great science fiction story from Jerome Bexby after "It's a Good Life", "For The Twilight Zone", "Requiem for Methuselah" and etc for the series of Start Trek.The story starts with a history Professor, John Oldman unexpectedly resigns from the University, his startled colleagues impulsively invite themselves to his home, pressing him for an explanation. But they're shocked to hear his reason for premature retirement: John claims he must move on because he is immortal, and cannot stay in one place for more than ten years without his secret being discovered. Tempers rise and emotions flow as John's fellow professors attempt to poke holes in his story, but it soon becomes clear that his tale is as impossible to disprove as it is to verify. What starts out as a friendly gathering soon builds to an unexpected and shattering climax.
It's a one and a half hour story, no high tech scene, no monster, no magics, no wars, but the supernatural and fascinating conversations among them, across art, science, history and religion, made me stay still to the end.
It's a great story, better than Golden Compas, I rate it 8!
