It's probably the strongest part about the movie — it deals with perspective of immortality from a mortal's perspective in a very realistic way, which is normally thrown by the wayside for more simplier tropes in entertainment. Not that it's wrong to like that, it's just hard to find something that doesn't these days. It comes across more like a well written hard sci-fi story, yet it's mostly just a group of people talking.
It left me thinking about immortality from a normal human's perspective for a long time. He explains how it changed him, and where he started from. It's very compelling in my opinion.

Seeing how I change with years, I’d like to live to 200-500-1000 years old. Not because I want to live so bad, but because this is a frightening distance that is a completely wild territory for us to imagine. I’ll watch that movie (if not yet), thanks for the reference. Everything I watched before was pretty “same person tired and/or mindless”-centric, like interview with a vampire, highlander, etc. But it was more entertainment, what humans like to see at cinema, than a really deep analysis of thousands of years old beings.
Thinking that you’ll be the same after an amount of time is naive.
