Why do Dan and Sandy kiss each other?
In the last scene of The Man from Earth - when all of the guests leave the house except for Will and Dan - John and Sandy are standing on the porch talking. Dan comes out and bids them both farewell, and then he kisses Sandy on the mouth. Can someone explain why?
Earlier in the movie, Sandy told John that she loves him. Why would she then kiss Dan on the mouth? Or was it just a mistake?
Best Answer
I don't believe it's a mistake, I just don't believe it's as significant a scene as you think. They say goodbye at the end of the party and Dan goes to leave. He kisses her goodbye and she kisses him in return.
There's nothing I can see in the kiss that I consider sexual. I myself have occasionally kissed, or been kissed, at the end of a night by friends like that.
So to answer your question, in my view it's not a romantic kiss and it certainly doesn't indicate Sandy loves Dan instead of John. Rather, it's more of a heartwarming "peck" - a display of gratitude and solidarity at the incredible evening they've both had, and a sign of their friendship.
