a movie "In Time"

Watching a movie "In Time" makes you think about the value of time.

(ok, Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfield are just too hot so you should have to watch it anyway)

In the movie, the money is substituted with time. So in order to buy something, you need to give out a certain amount of your time. 5 minutes for a coffee for example.
The country is divided into the zones, from the ghettoes where the maximum amount people can afford is one day, to the rich zones, where people live eternally, having a century on their hand.

What is the main message?

Time is limited. We know this, but we do not really put this in practice.

How many of us realize that there is a lot we can do even in a day? Try writing a "5 minutes diary" and you can feel it yourself!

We think we have a lot of time, but have we truly 'lived' even a day of our lives? How many of us will be able to accept death because they are satisfied with what they have done already?

This being said, in the movie, the system was shattered (but not completely reversed) by giving out time to the poor. Applying it to the real life, what will happen if the rich would give out their money for free to the poor? Will this solve the problem? Maybe these thoughts are partially applicable to international development.

I usually do like to see people being killed in the movies, but the scene where Timberlake finishes up a gang in a second in a super-smart-way was just breathtaking. 

The movie reinforced what I have been thinking about, but it was worth sharing nevertheless.
