Power in Andrew Niccol’s In Time

This was in 2169, after the age of 25 the person was genetically changed so as not to get aged. One year after someone's 25th birthday, he will die unless he works hard. It is managed by a bold green digital watch embedded in the forearm of everyone. After this birthday, the watch starts a countdown, when it reaches zero, people "time out" and die soon. Also, there is no physical currency, but now money is given as a sense of time.

As a storyteller, Andrew Nicole is eager to solve exciting themes such as Gattaca, real reality (Truman show), celebrities in the Internet era (S1m0ne). Eventually, Nicole's first movie "King of War" since 2005 has a typical premise - people over the age of 25 must pay the world for their existence in every second - I stumbled inside. These ideas are very clever, but this sentence is not particularly witty. Justin Timberlake is trapped in a society in which the rich are basically immortal and the poor are kept watching their lives become shorter for each purchase, but good is a desperate minimum bet It is. (4 minutes for a cup of coffee, 30 minutes for a bus, etc.) After being taken to a mysterious benefactor for a century's talent he began with beautiful society people ( Amanda Seyfried) Romance, his father is the key to the entire currency system. I repeat. )

In addition to disliking self-promotion, there is another reason that Andrew Niccol is not a surname. The end of the Truman show, or Stephen Spielberg did not write about that story. In 2011, his last movie, In Time, had a budget of $ 40 million, even in the domestic market did not fail. However, he continues to acknowledge that it is a long-standing challenge to carry out the project through his career. "For me, these ideas are expensive and can not fit in molds," he said. "This is the worst combination, you can go to the studio with ideas that are not expensive ideas or types, but this is not an expensive and unimportant idea.The studio is afraid of new ideas, old My idea is scary so my life will always be difficult.
