IN TIME

I want to introduce you the movie I recently watched, 'In Time.' I was waiting for it to come out impatiently, but I could not have time to go to the cinema when it came out. Anyway, I have watched it lastly and I loved it. I had learned its plot long before it came out. Let me mention the plot. It is quite interesting. The movie takes place in the future. In that future, people no longer use money. They have something much better than it. They use 'time.' Time is everything. Time is your money when you went to a restaurant, a hospital,  a market,  a bakery. In addition, you earn time when working. Shortly, time is everything you need. Moreover, it is your life time, as well. You buy and sell via your time, and also you live with it. When your time runs out, you die. There is a counter on everybody's arms. Every people grow up until they are 25. After 25, their counter starts to count down and if it reaches 0, it means that you are dead. Poor people dies in the streets. However, rich people live forever! They have billions of time. Imagine a world like that! It sounds both amazing and cruel to me. It is a very creative plot. However, I think the movie needs to be improved because such a beautiful plot must be shot better. The movie is not unsuccessful but the subject is so attractive and interesting that no matter what Andrew Niccol (the director of the movie) does, I think I would find it insufficient. The plot itself is written by him, as well. So, it is not his fault but that plot should be treated better, however hard it is. Anyway, I still recommend you all to watch it if you have not yet. It is worth watching at least thanks to the plot. In addition to those, Justin Timberlake as Will Salas is one of the leading actors, if there is a fan of him among any of you. Amanda Seyfried as Sylvia Weis accompanies to Timberlake with all her beauty.  Enjoy the movie. :)

VIDEO REFLECTION

I chose this video because it is the official trailer of the movie. It simply shows what you need to see. The reason why you see the guns in the trailer is that there is a misunderstanding. People who thinks Will as a time thief are the Time Keepers. Time Keepers are responsible for preventing time thieving and punishing if it happens. However, as I said before, they misunderstood the event. Will did not steal the time. It inherited to him. Until Time Keepers understand the truth, it will be too late for reversing the things which are already  happened and the secrets which are already come to light. Actually, Will says the truth, but they do not believe him. And that is where everything starts and gets complicated. You should see the whole movie. You really should. Enjoy it. :)
