Time in Time

The short film is somehow hard to believe. Yes, it can happen but there’s just too much fictional stuff going on within the film. Nevertheless the concept and storyline is really something to commend about. Analyzing the movie we could see how technology was seen to be so powerful that it can wipe out an entire place in just a matter of minutes or seconds. This just shows that back then people believe that it is modern technology that could change and rewrite our whole history, society and politics. Science back then was portrayed to be the top of the power triangle.

If I were to adapt the movie to modern times, I would prefer to use a protagonist of a much younger age because I find it bizarre to see an old man still not knowing what is right from what is wrong. A teenaged boy on the other hand is a character that can be really manipulated easily because of its traits of curiosity and rebelliousness. I would change also the problem or habit of reading books into playing since for me reading is something that isn’t considered to be a bad custom instead it is a practice that everyone should consider. I would change the wife into a mother because ever since it is the mother who teaches their children moral values. .However I would retain the part where everyone vanishes and the boy would still be like Mr. Henry Bemis that realized that he already has all the time he needs to play but then comes the breaking of the glass part where he realizes that all the time that he has is useless. The boy then would wake up and realized the mistake that he has done. He hugs his mother and the movie ends.

Above all, I would highly recommend everyone to watch the video. Maybe after that most of us would realize what are the things that we should be really giving our time to. Time indeed is not gold, time is priceless so we should make every moment of our lives count. Who knows, one day we might wake up and see that everything is too late.
