Man From Earth

I watched the movie and here's the thing I cannot stand about these kinds of films. Coincidence is one thing, but... SO MANY?

What particularly bothered me the most, was you had a guy who was his child, that the child couldn't recognize?

I have relatives I hadn't seen in 30 years, that I recognized without much of a problem.

As an exercise in philosophy, there were some good points, but when you get right down to it, it was Highlander without the beheading. Imagine Connor McLeod being a pacifist, and here you would have The Man From Earth.
