"In time"... The ultimate exploitation of capitalism

Trudie 2021-10-18 19:51:43

First of all, I declare that I am a fan of Justin Timberlake. Then turn to the topic. When exploitation entered the highest level, when the money and labor of civilians were not worth mentioning, the exploiters focused on the time limit of each person's life. This is how tragedy inevitably started with a genetic modification. Everyone’s freetime is set to 25 years, and every second after that is bought. So the corpses of the poor are everywhere, and the rich will live forever. Will, played by the protagonist Timberlake, is a representative of the bottom-ups. When he was 28 years old, he had only a dozen days left in his biological clock. So he went to the bar to borrow a drink to soothe his sorrows, and unexpectedly met a tired of one of the pioneers of the human transformation project. The pioneer gave him all his time and committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. Will, who had suddenly gotten him for a century, went around doing good things like winning the lottery. After giving it to his good friends for ten years, he remembered that his mother was waiting for him to earn time. So the biggest tragic climax of the film began. Wei Ma, who was left for an hour and a half, couldn’t pay for the two-hour bus, had to run to the appointment, and then consumed her last moment when the mother and son rushed towards each other. In seconds, he fell into his son's arms. At that moment, my whole body convulsed, and a powerful grief and anger attacked my upper brain, not only because of the mother and son: as a new Chinese socialist successor, when I was a child, I heard that various people at the bottom were squeezed like weeds before liberation. Growing up in tragedy, the symbolic meaning of the innocent mother who ran out of her life in the running, in my eyes, the white kangaroos born in peace all around could not realize. Dramatically, a fat white ghost girl suddenly giggled behind me, because everyone was silent at this time, and the laughter was exceptionally abrupt. What's so funny about this! No matter how old-fashioned the plot is, if an innocent person dies, whoever laughs is brain-dead! Of course, there are a lot of B people who are brain-disabled in this realm. I, who can usually tolerate it, yelled very impatiently: Shut up! The people around also turned around and stared at the fat woman. So everyone continued to watch the movie. Then Will vowed to take revenge and let the capitalists pay their debts, so he changed his face to the top, won a hundred years of gambling to a thousand years, and then seduced the daughter of the big chaebol that he was about to enter the house. . . . . . . . Of course the nasty bad police appeared at this time. He took almost all of Will's time and said that he was a descendant of the Revolutionary Party, so he deserved it. With the cooperation of the capitalist's daughter Sophia, Will kidnapped her and escaped the control of the police. To avoid too many spoilers in the later plot to make a long story short. Will and Sophia established a revolutionary relationship because of the like-mindedness. They robbed the bank of time and distributed it to the poor. They fought vile police bosses and gangsters all the way, and finally they were taken out of Sophia’s father’s one million years and put them on the market. The police boss is driven to a dead end. Fortunately, Will saved his life before. At this time, he took back the time he gifted, and the police boss fell to the ground. hint). With dozens of seconds left, Will and Sophia couldn’t see the supply station. Sophia insisted on giving Will his time, but he rushed to the police car parked not far away, successfully making up the time and running again. To Sophia this time, of course, Sophia caught up with the life-saving handshake, they made it in time. In the end, the black deputy chief of the police station disbanded the Time Police, and Will and Sophia became thieves in an unsupervised world, robbing time and fighting for socialism. Generally speaking, the plot is very moving, especially the mother section. Although the latter is a bit clichéd, Timberlake and the cute heroine still make the audience interested in watching it. The big bug is not in the plot. Compared with this year's headless and brainless science fiction, the plot this time is full of flesh and blood and depth, and the bug is in the hardware. In that era when people's life span can be controlled, the room where everyone drives a gun and lives in a car. . . . . . There is no difference from the moment. The only difference is that a time card machine is installed on each chargeable item. In order to save money and time to achieve quick start earning, the director did deal with the special effects concisely and concisely. People who like to watch special effects don’t care about this movie. It depends on the computer scene or holding the avatar. It depends on the choice of action. A team However, because this movie deeply exposes the bloody capitalism and the importance of human rights and freedom, in my eyes it is 8. Good movie above 5/10. Of course, I am a supporter of Timberlake, and I can watch everything he shoots.

In Time quotes

  • Henry Hamilton: How old are you? In real time?

    Will Salas: 28.

    Henry Hamilton: I'm 105.

    Will Salas: Good for you. You won't see 106, you have too many more nights like tonight.

    Henry Hamilton: You are right. But the day comes when you've had enough. Your mind can be spent, even if your body's not. We want to die. We need to.

    Will Salas: That's your problem? You've been alive too long? You ever known anyone who's died?

    Henry Hamilton: For a few to be immortal, many must die.

    Will Salas: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

    Henry Hamilton: You really don't know, do you? Everyone can't live forever. Where would we put them? Why do you think there are time zones? Why do you think taxes and prices go up the same day in the ghetto? The cost of living keeps rising to make sure people keep dying. How else could there be men with a million years while most live day to day? But the truth is... there's more than enough. No one has to die before their time. If you had as much time as I have on that clock, what would you do with it?

    Will Salas: I'd stop watching it. I can tell you one thing. If I had all that time, I sure as hell wouldn't waste it.

  • Fortis: [as Minutemen are holding people up against a fence] Nobody goes anywhere. You all know who I'm looking for. I'm looking for whoever gave this man a month!

    [Holds up man's clock]

    Fortis: And I'm going to clean the clocks off of everyone in this hellhole until someone says something I wanna hear!
