‘In Time’ tells you where the time has gone

For the sake of setting give In Time five stars, not because I love sci-fi, but because the film takes the viewer to a strange and fantastical world and makes it clear that it is because of death that life becomes meaningful. How about we have a brainstorm and relate the film to our own lives?

There are always films that are so brainy that the viewer can’t help but wonder after watching them.
Today’s recommendation is one such mind-bending sci-fi film – In Time
In fact, we’ve recommended brainy sci-fi films before. In Supernatural, the heroine evolves through drugs and has superpowers. In Time, which is being pushed today, is a much more surprising setting than Supernatural.

The general setting of the story is that – in the future – humans can manipulate time and rewrite their age. At first glance, doesn’t that sound like a blast? Manipulating time and rewriting age. Who would be afraid of getting old and wrinkled? Everyone will always be fresh and young! But in reality, it’s not that simple. Just because it’s set up like that doesn’t mean that people can do whatever they want. In the film, humans are set to stay at the age of 25, and no matter how long they live, their physical characteristics will remain at 25. So, the mother and son look like they are the same age. On the street, there are no old people at all, everyone looks 25 years old. But! At the age of 25, everyone will only live for a maximum of 1 more year. This means that as soon as you reach 25, your life starts counting down. The world is too cruel to live to the age of 25 and face the threat of death.

What’s even crueler is that in the film, mankind has abandoned the old currency and instead uses time as a currency to circulate. Everything, everything has to be bought with time. One cup of coffee, four minutes. Not enough time to begin with, but it has to be spent constantly. Anxiety, panic, such emotions surround this group of people all the time. So, what can you do to renew your life and live a little longer? In the film, all sorts of people are trying to find various ways. Some by begging. Some, by robbing. More, of course, by working. But for working people, even hard work only earns them enough time to survive for one day. What to do? Those with the aura of a protagonist don’t care about that. Will, the hero, has always had a short time left to him. But one day, he saves a man who has a century of time. And this man, it just so happens, has lived long enough. He gives Will all his time while he is asleep and kills himself. Will’s dashing life began. He bought luxury cars without blinking an eye. Went to the best hotels and spent an inordinate amount of time in suites. Spent eight and a half weeks eating and tipped the waiter for a week. Meanwhile, he meets the beautiful Time Bank heiress – Sylvia. What a wonderfully strange encounter. But Will doesn’t have to enjoy the rich man’s life for more than a few days before trouble ensues.

Will is targeted as a suspect in a murder case. When the police come to arrest Will, he takes Sylvia hostage and together they flee.
The road racing scenes are simply HIGH. During the escape, Will and Sylvia develop a relationship.
And so, a male/female duo is born. Love comes as fast as a tornado. Many people complain about the fast progression of the relationship between the two protagonists, but honestly, the two stand together so eye catching. The two of them are so good together that any stills of them are superb. Especially Sylvia’s character, Amanda Seyfried. Black silk, high heels and smoky make-up, together they are unbelievably sexy. There has never been a woman that has made countless men want to die by her gun. More impressive than the romance and the face of the hero and heroine is a lesser character, Borel, the friend of the hero, Will.

Like Will, Porell goes to work every day to earn his time, and works hard for a living. After being given a gift of time by someone else, Will finds Borel and gives him ten years of his time. However, Borel was given those ten years and he spent them getting drunk and drinking himself to death. It really is a story that will silence you when you hear it. There is no denying that there are definitely a few people like Borel in life. People who have worked so hard to get what they wanted, and then squandered it recklessly after getting it so easily, costing them their lives. The outsiders see everything, but the people inside the bureau are always lost. For the sake of setting give The Time Bureau five stars, not because I love science fiction, but because the film transports the audience to a strange and fantastical world where one understands that it is because of death that life becomes meaningful.

Let’s have a brainstorm and relate the film to our own lives.

What would you do if you were living in a futuristic world like In Time, where every day was a countdown and you only had one day to live when you woke up?
