In Time

The film In Time is a depiction of a modern day social structure. The film replaces the concept of money with time, meaning the more time a person has the richer they are. According to the film, once you run out of your time, your time living is done as well. The people with thousands of years use their time carelessly because they have so much. This irritates the people with limited time who have to see their families drop dead before their own eyes. Henry, a very wealthy individual in the film, gives away all of his years to a person he barely even knows, simply because he was getting bored of it. This social structure insinuates to the proletariat and bourgeois society. Once we run out of money, it’s not possible to live. Everything we do revolves around money.
