In Time (2011)
Society have always been unfair, one of the reasons is taking the "best/strongest" to make the society stronger. The cost of this have always been life, something like "for a greater good needs sacrifices" because of fast changes makes societies to develop faster.
Someone will always fall behind in "value" because the societies need different skills during different times, although we can even the differences a lot more, we don't.
What if everyone had the same access to everything, why would someone do something most people don't want to? They do that today because they must, because our society is formed to be like that.
If you compare us with rest of the world where people have better and worst than us, the global difference can easily be changed aswell. But it doesn't because of every person individual "value" for the world.
As long you don't let people choose, the equation of "act -> consequence" will be easier to predict.
It's exactly the same in our society as in this movie, the only exception is that we die slower when we run out of money.
In the third world "time = life", if someone in the family gets sick, we need to invest time to cure than work.
In our society we just put money into this to confuse, it makes us blind by "giving" us power that the ones in the top controls anyway. When people starts to get more money they make things more expensive to keep it balanced.
"No one should be immortal, if even one person has to die."
Will Salas - In Time
There's a sacrifice for luxury.
