In Time: A Blunt Reminder of Social Darwinism |
|
In Time takes into account the massive ownership of wealth by the top 1%, and the need for redistribution in a society where minutes of your life becomes currency. The fundamental aspect that our life and its quality is directly associated with wealth brings up a term which I haven't heard repeated since the Democrats were trying to take over Congress: Social Darwinism. This is something that is entirely relevant to the Occupy movement, and something I can tell is trying to deliver that message. But I hope that it can remind us of what it is the Republicans truly are trying to maintain, and what it is we are trying to fight.
Social Darwinism. That's a term that needs repeating.

the whole premise of time-to-live as commodity is fascinating
As as you suggest in your OP, it deftly makes a heart-pumping point about the 1% -- 99% thing on the silver screen at the precise moment in history when it is being dramatized in the whole of the real world
