Another Earth

A nice quasi-sci-fi movie starring the beautiful Brit Marling and William Mapother (Ethan from Lost). A drunk high school girl is driving home only to hear of another Earth visible in the sky. She sticks her head out the window to see it, only to strike a car stopped in the road, killing the wife and son and putting the father in a coma. She gets four years. Since she was a minor, the father never learns her name after he wakes from his coma later.

She is depressed and gets a menial job after getting out. She decides to apologize to the man so she goes to his house, loses her nerve, and instead tells him she is a maid service. She cleans his house weekly and a relationship results. As you can imagine, the former father is in for a very big, very unpleasant surprise eventually. In the meanwhile, she applies to take a space trip to the other Earth. Oh, it ends up the other Earth is identical to ours.

Very interesting premise, and I don't know how they got all those beautiful shots with Earth and its moon in all the exterior shots with such a small budget (200K). The ending was unexpected and I had to think a minute before I could figure out what it meant.


We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along
