The Movie "In Time"

Caught this last night while dodging thousand of pre-teen girls watching Twilight. Interesting tale about a world where everyone can live young forever, as long as they can afford it. People buy sell, and trade time, because if they run out they die. It has a very lefty bent, but I still found the idea of a totally new economic system interesting.

Why a "lefty bent"? Sounds like a perfect Ayn Randian/Capitalist utopia... The rich stay young forever, and screw the ones who can't afford it? You should love that.

The movie was sympathetic to the people who had to work every day just to keep enough hours on their clock.
