In Time

[DeeBye]

You are correct, however the movie is inherently about what the Occupy movement stands for, the 99%. While I have not seen the movie myself, I have read several reviews on the movie and they [the reviews] indicate (to me) the basis of the In Time movie is about struggling to get back what is ours by right, and uses the concept of "time" instead of "currency", but the similarities between this and the "99%" are, to what I understand, undeniable. Which begs the question, with such a hot-button topic and a correlating, fictitious analogy of a movie, doesn't it seem likely that the subject of politics would inevitably creep up in this movie thread?

I count 5 posts before the discussion had nothing whatsoever to do with the movie, and just became the same old back-and-forth between the same old debaters rehashing the same old arguments.

There are roughly 2,482 movies that have the theme of the lower class rising up against the upper class. That does not make them movies about the Occupy movement, otherwise people would have been Occupying Nottingham a long time ago.

I'm not sure about everyone else, but I can discuss a movie that contains political themes that I might agree or disagree with, without actually arguing about politics. A movie is much more than a thematic message.

RE-EDIT: I was so rude on this post. I just got home from work and read what I wrote and I'm ashamed. My apologies to you LochnarITB and to you too Deebye. I was needlessly cruel in my reply, and for that I am sorry. I will remove the mean-spited things I said have said.

I read your reply before your edit. You should have left it as it was. If I do get personally offended enough by something, I'll reply if I think I need to. If I don't reply, it's because I just don't care enough to argue the point.
