In Time (2011)

I like Amanda Seyfried very much, so her movie Always pay attention, even if I watch bad movies. This "Time Planning Bureau" is what I have been paying attention to. The TS version was released two days ago. After downloading, I found that the image quality was too poor, so I deleted it. R5 DVDrip has been released these days, and there are good subtitles on the Internet, so I plan to finish watching it.

The film tells the story of a man and woman confronting the Time Planning Bureau. In a world where time can be bought and sold, the poor have no time to work hard for time, while the rich have too much time and use it to squeeze the time of the poor. The protagonist is a poor man, working hard for a few minutes every day. On the mother's 50th birthday, the actor saved a poor man who had time, and got 100 years gifted by this man. He was happily celebrating his mother's birthday, only to find that her mother had died because of lack of time. To this end, he wants to avenge his mother, to find the rich man who has time. When he came to the rich area, the actor met the wealthy time banker at the casino and met her daughter. At the banker's dance party, the protagonist and the rich girl are familiar with each other. However, the administrator of the Time Planning Bureau came later, because the actor had too much time to catch the actor. The protagonist had to kidnap the rich girl and return to the poor area. The two were ambushed in the poor area, leaving the rich girl's time stolen. The actor had to threaten the bank owner to pay a ransom, but he didn't get a reply. The protagonist who had no choice decided to let the rich girl go. When the rich girl called her home, she found that the manager was about to attack the hero, so she had to shoot the manager. In this way, the rich girl was mistaken as an accomplice of the male protagonist, and was wanted together with the male protagonist. Do nothing and do nothing. After the rich girl has a relationship with the male protagonist, the two become time thieves, but they rob their father's time bank and give the time to the poor. The behavior of the two made the bank owner and the administrator very upset, and the robbers in the poor district wanted to arrest them to get rewards. As a result, the male protagonist and the rich girl fought against them. After killing a group of robbers, the hero thinks they have failed because time is always insufficient. The rich girl decided to rob her father because he has a time of 1 million years. The two quickly succeeded, and started a battle with the administrator who heard the wind. At the very moment, the actor and the rich girl spent more time than the administrator, causing the administrator to be killed on the spot, and the two won. After that, the hero and the rich girl gave the time to the poor. Because the poor became rich, several time zones collapsed, and the Time Planning Bureau collapsed. Finally, the actor and the rich girl continued to rob time in other time zones.

The process of watching this movie left me speechless, I just want to say: it sucks! The whole movie is a hodgepodge of various clichés in Hollywood. Except for the creativity of the movie-time-there is nothing new. The more you watch it, the more depressing it becomes! After watching a lot of good movies, I decided not to waste so much time writing for this kind of bad movies, just simply talk about where it sucks. First, the plot of the hero's revenge for his mother belongs to the bridge section of the bad street, and it is not creative. Second, the actor seeks revenge to find the rich, which is too extreme. As the saying goes, "You can't rely on the society if you point your back", and the wealthy people didn't provoke you. What's more, the hero is trying to change the world because his mother is dead, so if the mother is not dead, don't you still live the same as the hero? In a word, the target of revenge is too far-fetched. Third, it is a typical Hollywood routine for the actor to meet rich women. How can the actor's luck be so good? Fourth, the actor is an ordinary worker born in hardship. Dancing guns and sticks? And also very skilled, with superb driving skills? The most important thing is that he has courage and fearlessness. Do workers have hero qualities? In a word, this setting is too bullshit! Fifth, the rich girl fell in love with the poor boy and committed crimes with her, which is also a common cliche in Hollywood. If the kidnapping has the "Stockholm Syndrome" can be justified, but the rich girl and the male protagonist have only been together for less than a day, and they have forgotten their parents. This is too exaggerated! Sixth, the rich daughters are against their fathers, which is incomprehensible. This kind of rebellion, from the perspective of the plot, is very abrupt, and there is no foreshadowing. Does every rich girl have a rebellious nature and like to fight against his father? In a word, this is a rich girl who forgets her ancestors! Seventh, the protagonist has a rapid relationship with the rich girl, which makes the plot more impetuous. Two people didn't get along for a few days and got involved, and the screenwriter was too anxious! This further reflects the modularization of the film: acquaintance + getting along = going to bed. Eighth, the time manager arrested the two for no reason, and the time temptation was not enough, which seemed very unreasonable. Is he a good public servant who is dedicated to his duties? There is no explanation in this part of the plot, and there are blanks in the plot. Ninth, the hard work of a rich girl to rob her father is still too ridiculous! I don't think this daughter is born with her, so why is she facing her father like this? Her father didn't treat her badly at all, and the reason given by the plot was not sufficient at all. Is it wrong to control too strict? Tenth, the ending of the last two is very Hollywood. After a false alarm, there is a happy ending. This is a classic cliché ending. The movie took a lot of effort to get such an ending, which is depressing! Moreover, the time manager died too terribly, aggrieved. Eleven, the protagonist’s father’s bridge is of no use at all, Bai White sets a plot to make people's appetites. Twelfth, as a science fiction film of the 21st century, there are not many special effects shots, which shows the cutting corners of the film. Moreover, the scenes of the movie turned out to be a few broken houses and a few streets. The most exasperating scenes were reused! This is unclearly fooling the audience! In summary, the film has many shortcomings. In addition to the clichéd hodgepodge, there are also many forced and far-fetched settings, which really made me see the realm of bad films!

The only unique feature of the film is its conception of "time". The time created by the movie is a country of money, which makes people feel very fresh. In this country, time is equivalent to money, but it is different from time. It not only involves life, but also the value of life. However, the directors did not make good use of this idea, but used it on various clichés, turning the only advantage of the film into a disadvantage. In fact, this film can fully describe "time" in depth and discover deeper connotations. But from the status quo of this film, we know that the team of this film simply doesn't have this ability, and can only use Hollywood cliches to piece together a movie to make money.

The other aspects of the movie did not leave any impression. Costumes, props, shots, pictures, etc. are all at the normal level of Hollywood. The only thing that caught my attention was the clothes of the rich girl who showed off her figure, especially the stockings, which looked very sexy. It can be said that the dress and outfit of the rich girl is the only strength of this film, of course, this also benefits from the perfect figure of Amanda Seyfried.

In addition, I used the TS version of the corresponding R5 version to watch the subtitles of this film, which is very hard. It seems that the timeline of the TS version is much different from the official one.

The actors are equally general. The male protagonist Justin Timberlake looks very handsome, but with a heroic look, he does not make people feel poor, and his expression is not rich. In the performance, he is just completing the task. The heroine Amanda Seyfried also disappointed me. I came here for her, but her well-behaved performance is really not worth seeing. If you always make bad films like this, no one will come to you for filming in the future. However, Amanda Seyfried's beauty still exists, hey, it's okay to watch the beauty without watching the plot! But no matter how beautiful the beauty is in commercial films, she can only make vases. Cillian Murphy's neurotic face appeared in the film again, but the bad guy he played was still so stereotyped and didn't show anything special. In addition, there are several American drama stars in the film, such as Olivia Wilde and Vincent Kartheiser. They don't have many roles, so let's not talk about them.

In short, after watching this movie, you know what a bad movie is. Movies like Hollywood can be shot, which shows that it is really a film factory. Because the directors can easily misspell an assembly line production with celebrities as gimmicks and computer special effects as location scenes using previous movie segments. This film is such a masterpiece.
