  1.  

    First act, a set of educators, i think college are helping a colleague leave but they all have an affinity to this colleague, a curiosity about his nature. I concur with Bixby, real human beings are not alarmist and in this select case, all of these are seasoned educators used to slowly thinking about something, so they wouldn't call the cops or paddy wagon immediately. 

    Why did I not guess the black leather jacket would call someone from outside first. I thought it would be billingly's character the physics or chemistry professor.

    Second act, a female teacher loves him, reminds me of that twilight zone , Long Live Walter JAmeson, by the dead early Charles Beaumont, but extended.

    I love Crude demonstration , hilarious, I am not superman. Loving Tony Todd's acting. 

    27:34 first seeing the ocean

    28:42 he studied with the buddha, and i loved the earlier birth of the vampire myth

    29:06 the first betrayal of character, leather jacket should had considered he think of being outed. Considering he called someone he is either biding time or betraying himself.

    29:38 ahh well done, he was expecting, 

    30:31 i wish i had been here from the beginning, I concur:) 

    32:16 he survived the bubonic plague, typhoid , smallpox

    32:53 good point, being immortal in a cage isn't desired

    33:33 black leather is wrong, common sense isn't insulted by an immortal being, common sense accepts tthe unique is plausible even if it can't not be explained.

    35:19 true Tony todd, but time is also the most precious thing in existence.

    35:52 exactly, the second is a human construct. an algorithmic truth, not assessed from nature.

    36:27 funny moment. slow movie but for those who like to overthink and like dialog fun

    37:21 is he lucky? that is the point of the story

    39:41 exactly, he is outside most of humanity yet still human, a minority of one

    41:46 I love that he didn't go into his past wives or children by the invasive psychiatrist

    42:50 good point, the one great chaotic moment is the "immortal man" chose to even do this. I comprehend the writer's point. It is a random idea in one of many lives. But I must admit, my long lived characters wouldn't do this, unless they wish to be caught or have their cycle of lives undone.

    43:07 he didn't think of these people's feelings before he told them ahhh, i disagree bixby.

    43:37 the psychiatrist, white haired is trying to pull off a guilt trip, i bet he was diagnosed to die soon

    44:50 ahh i knew it was a tragedy, the psychiatrist wife died yesterday
    I love it, permit me to be infantile by myself. 

    46:58 my first wedding :) funny charades

    47:54 this movie clearly couldn't make it in theaters.

    48:48 love his answer to 1292 ad

    50:04 funny, about the primitive tribe in new guinea:)

    51:03 the older woman is a hard core christian

    51:47 no way skipping the biblical figure, and now he wants to call it a night, this is what you get when you ask those who study knowledge about a person who has lived longer than common

    53:10 he is jesus hahaha! 

    53:24 sit down edith, i know 

    54:16 yes, sit down edith, lovely honesity from the biologist about his kin

    54:41 tony todd, modern, that's good:)

    55:29 ahh he is espousing the old belief that jesus learned buddhist ways. it makes sense historically in one way. Buddhism is older than the roman empire, and from the travelers, who were common at that time, labeled magi, who traveled freely in the roman empire because of the might of the roman empire... ok.

    56:41 exactly, Tony Todd, christianity was born from the multiracial roman empire. 

    58:26 good point, buddha /jesus/the christian god, may not be happy 

    59:04 you can tell this was written on bixby's deathbed, a great mortuary story. I wonder what I will write in my last moments.

    59:35 hhahaha, the psychiatrist came back:) haha soul saved:) 

    1:00:00 nice bridge, we don't need to reintroduce the old topics for the psychiatrist, his shame on leaving.

    1:00:53 great joke, nothing unusual in the path of the psychiatrist until the day he met a caveman who thought himself jesus

    1:01:46 piety is the mistake they bring to the lessons haha, he is on a roll, Bixby is enjoying himself in his last days

    1:03:10 thank you biologist, people make to light the influence of drugs, no, if he is taking a drug it isn't making him go up or down be violent or peaceful, it isn't changing him at all

    1:04:20 thank you tony todd, i don't blame you, stay calm and relax.

    1:04:55 exactly, psychiatrist, or the modern mythologies of MLKjr or Adolf Hitler

    1:07:42 Its funny , in a group called african american literary book club, do you know how many black members suggest the usa will be forever? why is that? why is it, black people who knows kemet has all other human communities by thousands of years will be bested by the usa? what are blacks in the usa afraid of?.... 

    1:08:20 how do you know?  I don't smell it. 
    exactly, you know when it will rain , all humans do. 

    1:09:20 etymology, this does happen. words matter.

    1:10:25 good acting, they are all trapped by this story of their colleague

    1:11:00 if edith says you aren't jesus one more time

    1:11:56 edith have broken down , the psychiatrist had to shed light

    1:12:49 the psychiatrist is wrong, he doesn't demand the truth, he demands the lie to keep peace

    1:13:44 he is bluffing, well done, he is giving them safety

    1:14:22 easy tonny todd:) he want to kill him

    1:15:44 it ends safe, well done bixby, he lets the thinkers get off easy

    1:16:25 exactly , the woman who lives him is right. 

    1:17:59 edith knows. she will leave it

    1:18:14 Tony Todd, a latitude in what we call reality... anything is possible
    I am going to watch star trek. and yes, good move tony todd
    Drop me a line whenever

    1:19:34 the psychiatrist found out
    easy psychiatrist , the break down. ahh well done, Bixby, ahh the psychiatrist was a man he knew. 

    1;21:45 exactly, he never saw his own child again.

    1:22:34 yes, let her decide

    hahaha, great hook, who knows, let the viewer decide.

    IN CONCLUSION
    Ok, this movie was fun, but not for the general audience. Alittle careless of him, but that is part of John's humanity, humans even long living one's will make mistakes. 
    I know this is an aside, but i love the credits , they are large enough to see and slow enough to follow, many movies have very uncaring or cheap credits.

    I say, this is a well constructed example of someone long lived revealing themselves in a paraspontaneous way.

    Just thoughtfulness.

    I didn't time index from the begining cause I was watching it side relatives , we do those things in our home, but I am glad my relatives went to watch other things as I could write more specifically and i forgot some points early on:)

      Wow that was some report.  
       

      i just brought a book which included a short story by Bixby

      @Troy thank you, I am used to this, when I read books or listen to music or watch movies I am paying this kind of attention, part of it is how I was raised with art, my two black parents didn't blockade any art from me but also showed interest so it taught me to treat all art that way, while on the other side, as an artists always trying to learn, I want to see if I can decipher messages ideas and how they are executed in the work. 

       

      enjoy the book and definitely share your thoughts:)
