Reddit reviews The Man From Earth

The Man From Earth is a slow-paced cerebral film about a man who is 14,000 years old and meets with his colleagues to tell them his truth. Through the film, it turns out he was the man who traveled the middle-east speaking Buddhist teachings of peace and fellowship with one another, and that - to his dismay - became the legendary myth of Jesus.

The Sequel is "Man from Earth: Holocene" and it's 20 years later and his fanatical students find out he was "Jesus" and abduct him to torture the truth out of him.

The whole idea behind both films is that he is simply a man who is connected to the Earth and can never die. He hates that his teachings of Buddhism were taken out of context and used to create a religion that has brought death, destruction, and pain to the world. It's a subtle but genuine anti-religious pair of films with hints of environmentalism and stage-play settings.

If you have Amazon Prime, both are available to watch free.
