Will: Excuse me. You need to get outta here. Somebody's gonna clean that clock.

Hamilton: Yes!

Will: I mean, they're going to rob you. Going to kill you. They can't take that much of time and let you live to tell about it.

Hamilton: Yes.

Will: I don't think you understand, you should not be here!

fortis and raymond (in time) blurbs

warnings: gangsters, mentions of violence, suggestive (i guess)

imagine being will's younger sibling who hasn't reached 25 yet and fortis decides to take them as collateral for rescuing henry hamilton from the bar. even if will doesn't come back for you, fortis can just wait for you to reach 25 and steal your time. and in the meantime he has a pretty young thing to keep his bed warm.

or you're a regular person who was isekai'ed into the the universe and the timekeepers are baffled by you not having a clock. raymond gets charged to take you to new greenwich for the doctors and scientists to experiment on you to see if they can stop the clock for everyone. somehow word gets out of your existence and you get placed in protective custody with raymond as your bodyguard and he has to supervise your every move so you dont get killed. cue the "there's only one bed" trope

again with the isekai concept. what if it's fortis you bump into and he realises he can sell you to the big shots in Greenwich to turn back the clock. you get sentenced to death cause the they feel threatened by your existence and fortis decides he'll keep you instead

this is such a niche blurb but I've been brainrotting over this movie since secondary school and i hate how i can never find fics/recs for this character alex pettyfer played. it's been like 6 years since i last wrote fanfic so forgive me for being rusty

Cillian Murphy movie storms Netflix Top 10 and it's not Oppenheimer

A Cillian Murphy has been getting a lot of love on Netflix recently, but it's not what you might think.

'Cillian Murphy's Oppenheimer may have dominated the box office, but Netflix subscribers have been loving a very different movie of his which was released back in 2011.

According to the latest Netflix top 10 details, movie lovers have been watching the sci-fi thriller In Time and it currently has an impressive spot at number four on the list, behind the likes of Accused and Love At First Sight.

In Time is set in a dystopian future where people are genetically engineered to stop aging on their 25th birthday. Everyone has a timer on their arm which shows how long they've got left, and "time" has become currency, so the wealthiest people are effectively immortal.

The official plot teases: "In a future where people stop aging at 25, but are engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. Here, Will Salas finds himself accused of murder and on the run with a hostage — a connection that becomes an important part of the way against the system."

Cillian Murphy plays the role of Timekeeper Raymond Leon, a former resident of the ghetto who escaped and became a Timekeeper, a key part of the movie.

He's joined by an all-star cast including Justin Timberlake who plays the leading role of Will Salas and Amanda Seyfried as Sylvia Weis, who is kidnapped by Will and becomes his willing accomplice, using her knowledge of her father's business to help take down the system.

The movie was directed by Gattaca's Andrew Niccol with cinematography by Roger Deakins, who won an Oscar for his work on the brutal war movie 1917.

Audiences and critics appear to be somewhat divided on In Time though, with the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer indicating that it has a critic approval rating of just 37%, making it "rotten".

However, audiences were slightly more favorable and have given it a score of 51% based on over 50,000 individual reviews, so people definitely have strong opinions when it comes to the sci-fi movie.'

Watching my favorite movie again...

[onceandfuturechimera]

It really kills me that I never see anyone talking about In Time (2011) on this hellsite. Its genuinely one of my favorite movies, but its also fantastically anticapitalist, in the most intentionally scathing way it possibly could be. In order to illustrate just how fucked the system is, In Time replaces money with time which is a fantastic metaphor given that wealthy people value money more than they value life itself. Like, this movie really said "for a few to be immortal many must die." Kinda like how in order to be rich you have to exploit and oppress millions of workers? One of my favorite things about it is that In Time is complex, it has dynamic characters and interesting storylines, but its still a fast-paced and entertaining movie. Yeah we have Will Salas, the man who grew up with nothing and wants to break the system, and we have Philippe Weis, the man who comes from time and doesn't care how many people have to die for him to remain on top; but then we also have Sylvia Weis, who comes from time but, after meeting Will, begins to understand how corrupt the system is and joins Will in his attempts to break it down, and we have Raymond Leon who grew up in the same place Will did but who unlike Will bought into the system and decided to become a Timekeeper, a cop. Raymond and Fortis, who steals time, are important examples of how people can be manipulated by the system into aiding the system in their own oppression. Even though both of them came from nothing, they found a way to make time by doing things that directly contribute to the agenda of those on top. And of course, I'm sure part of the reason I dont see people talk about it is at least a little to do with the fact that it got absolutely railed by the critics. Their main criticism seemed to be that the metaphor was "too obvious," which i guess would be a concern if you don't want people to come to the realization that this incredibly horrific and oppressive system is literally just capitalism. Anyways, please go watch In Time (2011).
