"Time Planning Bureau" is a science fiction film that wins in creativity and loses in plot, so the Douban score of this movie is only 6.9 points. The rest of the life in the play becomes currency. The rich earn eternal life, and the poor start to earn the chance of survival tomorrow from the age of twenty-five. This setting makes those who start watching the play shine. It is precisely because of this creative setting that the entire movie is full of science fiction mystery and strong sense of substitution, attracting the interest of countless audiences. However, the development of the plot is surprising, especially the hero and heroine in the play are reduced to time-stealing male and female thieves. Single-handedly breaking the class differentiation, the authenticity and sense of substitution in the film’s creation are instantly shattered, making the whole film a creative Fairy tale.
The United States is the most developed country in the world, but its social contradictions and class differentiation are also the most prominent country in the world. In order to alleviate class contradictions, film companies bring more poor people into the theater, and create civilian heroes to save the poor living in aquatic heat has become the mainstream tone of American film blockbusters. As a social critical work dressed in science fiction, "Time Planning Bureau" also inherited this style, which also caused the ending of the play to be incompatible with the class contradictions in the play. From the perspective of the whole movie plot, Will's experience from the ghetto to New Greenwich, played by Justin Timberlake, is the biggest highlight in the play, and it is this part of the plot that allows us to clearly see why the gap between stable social classes is insurmountable .
