So when I was a kid and it was time to clean, my mom would always put the Righteous brothers album on and we would dance to this song while we cleaned. I tried to clean my room just now and put this song on and just ended up dancing. It’s the best y’all.

via • linkSimply put, Another Earth is one of the movies you feel unqualified to write about after watching twice in a week. So I’ll just write the few things I could muster out of this indie gem.
- It’s a sci-fi. An emotional thriller. An introspective drama.
- It’s amazing what they do with a small budget.
- It’s got compelling acting with simple beauty.
- I don’t mean to sound sexist, but main character “Rhoda” is very intriguing and she doesn’t say much. Why can’t more women people be like that?
- It’s about forgiveness, reflection and ambition.
- It has original characters with complex motives.
- It’s about the universe, yet it’s very human.
- It’s very detailed. Notice the camera work, color and grain of certain scenes. (Director Mike Cahill)
- It’s from two people who actually know what the hell they’re doing and doing a lot of it. Brit Marling - wrote, acted and produced. Mike Cahill - wrote, directed and served as cinematographer.
- And finally, it has a brilliant ending that I won’t spoil…even if he took me a while to process.
To the weird few of my generation who actually know what movie this is from and watched it growing up, this is hilarious. If not, just ignore and move along.

God isn’t asking us to mope and suffer and sit by the sea in the cold of midnight for the sake of writing down useless sounds. He gave us the tools of self-reliance after all to make it straight through bad life mortality to paradise maybe. I hope. ..”
