The best beginning, the most trash ending

In a word: It started like a typical science fiction film, and became Bonnie and Clyde in the middle. In the end, it turned out to be the robbery of the rich and the poor in the Water Margin.

Science fiction background:
This is an era where time is used as currency. Once a person is born, you can enjoy 25 years. From 25 years later, how much work you work determines how long you can live. At 0 o'clock, you are dead! Every day you get up, you spend 20 minutes of money to buy a breakfast, an hour to take a bus, and then work to earn 26 hours, and then it takes time to buy vegetables and pay the rent. ---The time here is money, not time in our ordinary sense. Time can be put in a bank card. You can swipe the card for whatever you do. You can deposit money in the card at work.
There are several points that must be pointed out:
1 Humans should have cured aging at this time. If they cannot overcome aging and die, then no one will remain young forever, and no one will live for hundreds of years.
2 As a result of totalitarian society and oligarchy, in order to ensure that the rich can live forever and the poor can drain every drop of blood, the society that must be established is ultra-totalitarian. This social form has the advantage of preventing the poor from reproducing too much because they are immortal, leading to the short-term exhaustion of limited resources.

Let's talk about movies again: It

should be quite reasonable to describe the form and composition of the entire society from the life in the slums. For example, take the bus to check the time, change the time at work, and so on. And showing the time on your hand is very characteristic, you can see it, you and I can change it. If you buy wine, you have to check the time and so on. When watching these scenes and one by one falling down on the side of the road (hungry when there is no time), there will be a little resonance.

Then the protagonist encounters someone who has lived long enough to die. Fortunately and unfortunately, she went from District 10 to District 8, then to District 4, and then to the upper class, a little bit to highlight the difference between the slums and the upper class. Zhumen's wine and meat are smelly, and the route is frozen to death --- in this it is the rich who have won or lost a game for hundreds of years, while the poor are struggling for a few hours.

The heroine Sylvia Weis, as a person who grew up holding a golden key, was bored with her long-term upper-class life, so she has the following actions. -------I don't even believe this explanation.

People of different classes will not be so integrated, their status and common language are too lacking. At the same time, because Will Salas is handsome and cool, will he follow him after being kidnapped? You have to say that this is the Stockholm syndrome of the kidnappers. ---------This attack is too fierce. For a man, he can betray his class, his family, and his past. #烂剧情片才有的情节#, how is science fiction film possible, how is it possible.

Let’s talk about the actor will. He is brave and tricky. It is good to be able to rob the rich and help the poor, but how could there not be such a situation before? A man and a woman, driving a car, hand in hand to grab the bank,-----this is not what Bonnie and Clyde are. Bonnie’s life was already rubbish, so she jumped into Clyde’s convertible, and the hostess NND was alive and well, and she was messing with a poor boy. Explain to me the rationality of the plot.

Big loopholes:
1. As the lowest level institution of the monopoly group, the time bank has no bodyguards and no strong defensive measures.
2 Time managers are all vegetarians, so I don't know where the managers are! ! In monopolistic organizations, they don't help much, so it's not like being neutral. There are only a few fucking people in the whole society, you live so easily.

I want this pair of thief mandarin ducks to rampage across the entire area like this. It’s a deliberate setting of the whole movie, right? How else? Thinking of Justin Timberlake and Amada, how can they be attractive? right! ! !

I don't want to write anything more here. The whole good subject matter was ruined. Turned into a nondescript pseudo-sci-fi action movie.
