I watched quite a lot of movies lately. So far In Time is the food for thought.
I like the idea of time in the movie. Time is money. The world of life and death will be determined by time, instead of money. Life in the ghetto was all about saving time and running for it, so that everyone is in time for everything. In time to get things done. Have time to live.
It reminded me when I was in high school, just like Will Salas, I always peeked on the time on my watch to see when is the next assignment or task came after the one I was working on. In reality, everybody is equal. Nobody has more time than the other. It's all about time management. But we don't earn the time like in the movie. We were given time since the second we came out of the womb to manage our time, yet we earn the money, then manage it.
We do give our time away. We give our time away to do people's favor, to clean up people's mess, in exchange to make ourself feel better. But we give our most time away to help people grow their businesses, in exchange of survival.
Don't waste time. Don't put off things you want to do, not until it's too late.
The movie is lack of character development by the way.
