time is not

This movie is what I saw when I read Eli's book two days ago, 8760 Hours of Your Year. Just had a quick look at the movie review. Many people say that this setting is awesome, and everyone can see their own time. Time is money, pay with time, etc.
It seems that we can only know its preciousness by materializing something, such as using time to buy things. When we see that time is passing, we seem to realize the importance of time, because time is hard currency at that time. But is such a world really bad? I don't think it is necessarily true. People will always keep their 25-year-old appearance and will not grow old. In this way, there should be no diseases. The difference between the poor and the rich is the difference in time. In fact, it is just a general equivalent. It seems that the primitive society is barter, and then gold and silver are fixed as general equivalents. Now countries use government credit to issue banknotes. Slowly, Internet currency has begun, and finally it may really be time currency. There is still class, and it's the poor people who suddenly get a lot of time doing the same thing as winning the lottery now. Splurge, or be completely lost. In fact, the time people care about in the movie is also the money we care about.

    In fact, this setting is superb, time is money, and money is life. But it didn't make it out, the whole film was a little confused, there were too many things to say, and the behavior of the two protagonists was somewhat random, which is a pity. It’s a bit simpler to become a time thief in the end

    1. The plot point is novel and intends to have depth, but he has no choice but to have insufficient skill. The more shallow he gets to the back, it is very awkward to look at it; 2. The dialectic between a day and immortality, some people actually don’t have a lot of time, but To be possessed by time, to save oneself is to live as one's last day.
