Some ideas for Oral Commentary of a Movie Assignment SAMPLE OF STUDENT ESSAY -2-(Movie:In Time-) -The Mind Map and Essay




THE ESSAY
TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE TIME TRAVEL MOVIE
            Today, technology is used widely in our life and i learn more about how much technology can make our lives different from the movie "In Time'. Movies like ‘Meet the Robinson’ and ‘The Click’ tell us about how people travel through time. These two movies used technology as their main element. Among some of the technologies used in the movies are the remote, time machine and also the watch.
            The movie ‘The Click’ uses a remote control to fast forward and stop the time. Since the remote has a many buttons, this fantastic device can  put time on fast forward by having a single click . With the remote, we can do our job fast. Within seconds, we can also know what might happen to us. Hence, we can prepare what we have to do. For example, Michael knows that his ex wife will scold him but he moved his body to the right so that his ex wife will hitanother person. Other than that, we also can stop time. By stopping the time,Michael can stop bad things from happening to him, and he can also save the lives of others. Moreover, we can also save and protect people without rushing our time and letting them know about it at all. Hence, we can be a life saver like a superhero. So, by using the remote, it is easier for us to fast-forward the time or stop it.
            Time machine would travel through time to either future or past in ‘Meet the Robinson’. We can easily travel to the future whenever or wherever we want in a short single time. Besides  that, we can know what our future would be and at the same time, we can change it to be better than the past. So, we do not have to face any problems. Furthermore, the time machine can also travel back to the past . With that, we can reveal the truth about things we never knew. For example, in the movie, Lewis agrees to help Wilbur  repair the scanner  if only Wilber tells the truth.Instead, Wilber chooses to travel to  the year 2037 in a second time machine. Thus we can also change the destiny appropriately. In conclusion, by using the machine, we can travel to the past and future by a second.
            Other than that, the watch is also one of the technology tools that is used to travel time in ‘clock stopped’. Although physically, the watch  is small and just show the time but it can speed up and slow down the time. With speeding up the time, we can skip the unwanted situation and proceed to the best destiny as we planned. Then, we can also undergo hallucination by seeing or hearing something what will happen in a few seconds forward. In the meantime, we can change it to be in a better way. Nevertheless, the watch can also function as slowing down the time for us to enjoy our best moment in a long time. Furthermore, it gives us benefits such as to finish up our homework or assignment in a short time and save our time. Hence, with speeding up and slowing the time, we can get a lot of benefits.

            In a nutshell, the technology used in some time travel movies such as remote control, time machine and watch has made me understand that technology may or may not be good for us, depending on how we use them. The disadvantage of using this technology are they affected the history of mankind. On the other hand, the advantage of using technology is we can go anywhere at anytime that we want to. The technologies have taught us to be smart and think before using the technology.
