In Time - Man with a million years

1 Million years would be $136.314 trillion in todays money, Here’s my very rough estimate.

Lets start by using the scene where the main guy gets a cup of joe and it costs 4 minutes. If we compare this to the average cost of a cup of coffee today, which is around $4.90, we can estimate that 1 minute is worth about $1.23. This is calculated by dividing the cost of the coffee by the time it costs in the movie ($4.90 / 4 minutes = $1.23 per minute).

But here’s the thing, the movie is set in the future, specifically the year 2169, so we need to adjust for inflation. If we assume that prices rise by an average of 2.5% each year, we can calculate the future cost of a cup of coffee using the formula for future value with inflation:

Future Value = Present Value * (1 + inflation rate) ^ number of years

Plugging in our values, we get:

Future Value = $4.90 * (1 + 0.025) ^ 146 = $1,038

This means that, if the average annual inflation rate were to remain constant at 2.5% from 2023 to 2169, a cup of coffee that costs $4.90 in 2023 could cost around $1,038 in 2169.

With this new cost of a cup of coffee, we can adjust our conversion rate to about $259.50 per minute (since 4 minutes was the cost of a cup of coffee in the movie). This is calculated by dividing the future cost of the coffee by the time it costs in the movie ($1,038 / 4 minutes = $259.50 per minute).

Now, to calculate the value of 1 million years, we first convert years to minutes (1 year = 525,600 minutes), which gives us 525,600,000,000 minutes for 1 million years. Multiplying this by our adjusted conversion rate ($259.50 per minute), we find that 1 million years could be worth approximately $136.314 trillion in today's dollars. This is calculated by multiplying the total minutes by the value per minute (525,600,000,000 minutes * $259.50/minute = $136,314,000,000,000).

Salut salut!

This is a great movie despite Justin Timberlake

The plot of this movie is bullshit. If we ever invent immortality, we would just stop making babies, or at most just keep making them to replace people who die otherwise. It doesn't make sense to invent such a system as in the movie, people would just revolt against the government. If you only have hours to live, what do you have to lose?

Movie name

The dialogue in this movie sucks

There are three envelopes, labeled 1,2, and 4.

immortality is quite possible, but not as a human being. you must cross the rubicon fisrt.

He was 100% right.

Imagine a movie where someone actually chooses a random code for a safe and memorizes it as the safe holds something important

Neither of them are wrong.

"Everyone wants to live forever... For a few to be immortal many more must die."

"No one should be immortal if even one person has to die."

The villain is right. Everyone wants to be the exception. Everyone is the hero of their own story. You can't just expect people to accept defeat. To concede to a life they view as inferior to what the could have. There are always going to be people willing to kill or die to achieve the life they believe they deserve.

The hero is right. No one should have that power if the cost is the suffering of others. Everyone should get the same equitable chance at life and happiness as everyone else. There shouldn't be exploitation for the sole benefit of an elite upper class. Lives shouldn't be devalued to a value of pennies on the dollar.

What's the solution?

1. Unlimited resources. Assuming you could exist in a world with unlimited land and resources, it's possible for everyone to be immortal without restriction.

2. Population restriction. Assuming you don't have access to unlimited space for growth and resources to support it, you have to stop reproducing so that your immortal population won't strain the available resources.

Both of these options allows both the villain and the hero to achieve their ideals. You'd think population restriction would be pretty simple. Guess not.

the math doesnt math in this movie😂

So he's just conviently forgotten how he tried helping his bestfriend, by giving him some yrs, and that fucker pissed it allaway and drank himself to death

Notice how compelling the arguments are from the "villain," with only quaint emotional platitudes and gunwaving from the "heroes."

He's right. There should be hierarchy because there otherwise you get chaos

Yeah... Pete Campbell, you've lived enough.

I liked this movie. I also dislike JT as an actor. He's really not good.

It's odd he would still have the physical mannerisms of an old man.

His speech definitely has some truth to it. Sure the million years could help people in the lower zones, but as it does they will aspire to have greater lives; to have more time. Greed will fill them and they will find anyway to fulfill those desires. It's human nature. 70%+ of lottery winners go bankrupt. The same people who managed to live with credit card debit and paycheck to paycheck without going insolvent somehow go bankrupt after winning millions. A perfect example is given in this film with his friend who dies of alcohol poisoning when given to much time. This movie really is great isn't it?

Uh… the bad guy is absolutely correct.

A million years would give 10,000 people and extra 100 years, hows that upsetting the balance lol.
