Abstract

Cultural theorist Stuart Hall writes, “almost all cultural forms will be contradictory,” and the film In Time (2011) is no exception. In Time might seem merely to be an entertaining film about an unreal, futuristic world where time has been transformed into currency. However, close analysis reveals two shockingly contradictory ideologies present within this film: Marxism and the American Dream.
