Ask HN: The Man from Earth
I saw the movie a couple days ago and it really impressed me. Everything in this movie happens in a little cabin where one guy tells a story to some of his friends. Still its probably one of the best movies I've every seen. What do you think about it?

Whoa! I didn't even know about this campaign. How is it not fully funded :(
thx just done.
Great movie. It goes to show that, just like in video games, graphics aren't that important.
The producer even thanked piracy for spreading awareness of the movie:

One of my all time favorite films. One of those films which you wont notice how long it was on for and no hollywood effects or sets to keep you watching, just a good script.
This movie felt a lot like a 90 minute Twilight Zone episode -- and I mean that in the best possible way.
It's also cool to see a science fiction movie succeed or fail entirely on the storytelling. Special effects seems like a solved-problem these days, storytelling, not so much.

The movie is pretty awesome.
A fun fact is that when the film got released, it was poorly received in the box office. Some time later, people started torrenting it and spread the word. The cast are said to be actually surprised when they get recognised from The Man from Earth since, as far as they thought, was fairly obscure.

I totally fell in love with this movie too. Thanks for the reminder, I think I will watch it again tomorrow!
I've watched it at least 50 times. Absolutely one of my favorite movies. Before that I enjoyed the Star Trek: TOS episode he wrote, based on the same concept. The movie was great and the casting was almost perfect. I'd love to see what's possible with a big budget.
I loved this film!
It is one of the only films in recent years that i truly enjoyed. And not a single explosion or special effect!

It impressed me as well. Watched it completely by chance. Thought provoking premise.
Yes, good film. Reminded me of 12 Angry Men.
