Ever seen this scene in a movie?
I'll give you ten seconds to recall before you blast. No way. I'm kidding.
It's from In Time! A 2011 sci-fi action movie starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried and the bluey gooey eyed chameleon Cillian Murphy.
The movie was, fair enough, thrilling, entertaining. imdb rated it sixty-something percent, Rotten Tomatoes rated it thirty-something percent. I myself, have only watched halfway through. Not that I wasn't interested, but I actually watched it on the evening before my anatomy exam and it sent me right back to my books, freaking me out...
Can you imagine only having twenty five years to live your life normally, and the second right after your twenty fifth birthday, the clock on your arm starts ticking backwards like a countdown timer, showing you your remaining lifetime. Not just that it ticks backwards like a countdown timer, you'll also have to buy your daily needs with your remaining lifetime, like buying a cup of coffee in a coffee shop would reduce your lifetime by ten minutes. Now what if, after a day's work, you wanted to go home to meet your son and "share some time", but you only had an hour and a half left while the bus fare was suddenly raised to two hours for a ride home, and walking home takes two hours. Doesn't that mean you'd have to run home? This is what I call running for life.
Time's too precious to waste.
Don't. Waste. Your. Remaining. Time.
