Blog #21 - The Time Macine

In the film The Time Machine, the theme of time travel was present. It made me question the place of time travel in our society. In the case of this movie the main character used the machine to go and see what the future holds and what lessons he might learn so he can pass on the knowledge. He also used it to go back and help the people rebuild their society. I think that in our society we would use it for negative and selfish reasons. I don't even think that we should have any business going into the future and past even to learn from it because I believe that everything happens for a reason and we shouldn't be altering history to make it to our liking. I thought that the storyline of this movie was very clever in the way that it went in a loop and then went back into the future. Besides that I thought that it was a pretty decent movie. The monsters that lived underground were creepy and freaked me out.
