In his review “Die Young, Stay Pretty, and Watch Your Clock“, Manohla Dargis reviews the new movie “In Time”. This new movie stars Justin Timberlake(Will Salas) and Amanda Seyfried (Slyvia Weis) in a future where time is money, literally. People stop aging at 25 and then are given one year to live. Dragis mentions that this future has severe gaps in classes. Dragis states this extreme gap is obvious as the movie mentions that the wealthy “moves as slow as molasses” because they have so much time. He also states that there is some allusion to fascism and the holocaust. Dragis writes, ” invokes the Holocaust, specifically in the shots of the dead and poor who lie where they fall.”This premise is wonderful and has so many different ways that could make this movie oscar wothy. But, sadly Dragis writes that this movie was a waste of time/money.
I agree with Dragis and I thought that this premise about a future where time is money seemed extremely interesting. The fact that these people had the ability to live forever while some people had to die at asuch a young age. Also, with the fact that this movie reflected the current situation of the World. The poor suffer and struggle to make it through everyday, while the rich are in paradise. These mentions of the holocaust were also one of the several directions this movie could have taken but sadly it went with more of a “couple-on-the-run flick”. I wanted to watch this movie but sadly after reading this review and other reviews this movie is not worth my time.
