I haven't seen the movie "Another Earth" yet, (have you?) but from the concept of this movie, I wondered what you'd do if you ever met yourself. If there was another earth out there in the universe that was exactly the same as ours and another you existed, would you like to meet him/her? Do you think you'd be able to 'see' yourself better, from a third person perspective to reflect on yourself? Thoughts?

I remember seeing the coming attractions for that movie. It looked good and I liked the concept. but I have not seen it. I will be looking for it either in my Netflix watch now list or from RedBox. I really want to see that movie.

They used to say that everyone had a perfect twin. I would be curious to meet this person. I don't know that this 'twin' would be just like me. So to watch it and reflect on myself may not be possible. I would have to wait and see what this other person is like.

I've heard of taht before. I always was curious when people said they knew someone who looked like me.. because I've never met anyone like that before. So, even in that case, I'd like to meet them, and if there is another me out there in the universe then, I think that would be very interesting.

hi lore
I will not be interested in that other me
. It doesnt always imply that he will be better off.
Now the problems why I dont want to meet him... I know, there will be more of confusions between the two of us. As both are supposed to be identical, we will be quite critical of other's actions etc which will be unhealthy. Again, if he or me is better off, I know we would try to find out the whys and why nots and this adds to the problems as we both will have un-predictable approaches to get things similar.
In short, it is surely going to be a tough mental exercise and dear, I do not think either of us will be mentally willing to undergo the exercises...

That is another way to look at it. I did wonder about that too. Like what if we say the same things at the same exact time. then, we'd alsoo answer at the same time.. perhaps we wont even need to converse since we'd know what we are thinking anyway. I wonder if we'd also want to walk in the same exact spot at the same time that we'd be stepping on eachother or pushing each other that we'd never get anywhere.. oh boy!

I think it could be fun to meet another me. At least I'd have someone who would understand my jokes. Joking aside - watching myself in third person would surely give me a better perspective too. Though, I have a good mirror in my father since I have a lot in common with him in terms of behavior. Growing up in the same household with him helped me change a lot about myself. I guess living with my exact copy from another planet would help me find and remove some more bugs in my personality. By the way, I have not seen that movie either.
