If time becomes a commodity

The core inspiration of this film is if time becomes a commodity. If so, the capitalists can live longer, while the poor can only wait to die. It's really become a life without money. And time is actually allocated by a few government officials and capitalists (this is actually impossible, in this case God is impossible). If you think about it from the perspective of political economy, those who master time should protect the lives of some people, so that they can To create wealth, but not too many people, it will take time and cause confusion. Who will die first? Naturally, there are people who have no time (the poor), so wouldn't this be the survival of the fittest?

The hero and heroine in the film embody anarchism and egalitarianism, and the overflowing benevolence is also wrong, which is equivalent to letting the government distribute the money to everyone.

According to Marxist analysis, the commodity created by labor is greater than the cost of labor, which creates surplus value. However, in reality, labor costs are difficult to measure (labor costs are not wages, but the minimum wage squeezed, which is the most basic need to maintain workers’ physical strength), and if time becomes a trade item, then it is easy to measure. The product that creates more than one hour in one hour is surplus value. That's how the capitalist's million years came.
