In Time
Yesterday, I saw the movie trailer for "In Time" and I am counting down the days to go see it! It stars Justin Timberlake of course, but the plot is so creative and intriguing. The plot is about life in the near future where there is no such thing as money. Instead, citizens pay for things by time. For example, a cup of coffee costs 4 minutes of your life. Everyone has a limited amount of time and then they are "dead". However, there is a way where you could earn more time. I was very impressed by this idea behind the film because just after that short trailer, I instantly related it to my life and began to think if life would really be lived like that. I feel like the moral of this movie is appreciating your life with the time you have. I am interested in finding out how this film ends or what the climax would be because it doesn't seem like it would be easily predictable.

I saw the commercial for this movie the other day and found it very interesting as well. They are only given 25 years to live and like you said a cup of coffee costs 4 minutes which is a lot of time to them. I definitely think this will be a movie that teaches you to appreciate your life and to live it to the fullest!
