Okay, so normally I'd put this under the "Movies" post, but I'm going to try something different. I edit my older posts sometimes, but I don't want people to overlook things that I've added just because it's an older post and you have to scroll down far. So, I'm just going to make a new post. Anyway, I found this trailer while I was browsing around on IMDb, and it really struck a chord with me. The movie is called "Another Earth" and from what I can tell, it's about a lady who accidentally killed this guy's family in a car crash and tries to get to know him because she feels guilty. But, this film takes place in an alternate reality in which another copy of Earth and everyone on it has been found. So, there is this contest where if you win, you get to go to this second Earth and meet your double. And, if I interpreted the trailer right, the lady wins this contest and is going to apologize to the guy who's family she killed. But, this film isn't just sci fi. It seems to be more of a drama, and it looks like it hits pretty much all of the core elements on my list for a good movie: guilt, redemption, a little sci fi here and there, complicated pasts... in short, it looks REALLY good. Sorry I kept babbling on, but at least skip all of the above text and watch the trailer.
