In time

i was fascinated by this guy's hair, but whenever i was ready to shoot, someone walked into my frame. grr.. now i tell myself this is interesting too, as you can see how different hair styles can be. but he looked interesting, and now i only have his interesting hair... :(

last night we went to the movie "in time". somewhere in some future they discovered how to turn off the aging gene, and nobody ages beyond 25. once you turn 25, you have only one more year to live (unless you already have debts; then you will have less time) however, you can earn more time, as time is the currency, instead of money. everyone has fancy green numbers on their arm, indicating how much longer they have to live. but this can change; if you work, you get paid in time. if you buy a coffee, you loose a little time. just exchange money for time. it was a very interesting, and freaky, concept. it was also funny that everyone looked 25, but some were living already for 75 years. the world, or the town -whatever, was segregated in time zones. the poor people, where everyone is always running out of time; they rarely had more than 24 hours, forcing them to live day by day. this zone has a lot of crime as people are trying to steal each other's time. then there is the middle class, and the really rich people, not caring about time, as they have more than enough of it..... (some had thousands of years). you could call them the 1%, which makes this movie very up to date. as they said; many have to die for a few to live eternally.....

i think they could have done a better job, but i guess they rather wanted to be cool, fast and fancy, than to make it into something really mind blowing (the people behind us were indeed mostly impressed by the fast and fancy parts "oh man, this is sweet, this is sooooo sweet! (and they were very much annoying us with their brainless comments)). nevertheless, it was a really interesting concept and it really made me think (im still thinking... ;) ), in a way we are already paying for a lot of things with our time, or life, whatever you want to call it. we just are not always aware of it, since we dont have such a fancy green clock ticking on our arms... hmmmm....

so i do suggest you go see this movie!
