All the Time Reaction and Adaptation



Time has come

                ‘All the Time’, a movie which portrayed a banker, Henry Bermis, who is of much addiction in reading books with a sad ending was for me a good movie to reflect and adapt on. The movie ended when Henry Bermis—the protagonist—broke his eyeglasses and lost his eyesight making him unable to read the books in the devastated library, that was after a great explosion happened and only him survived.
                My adaptation would not focus on the concept of the ending of the story because I find the ending fantastic realization. I prefer updating the flow and the whole story perhaps with the same situation/realization at the end.
                And it would go like this: A man which I’ll name John has a wife with two children. He is devoted and very committed to his job that it came to certain extent that he’ll risk anything, anyone just for the sake of his job. There come a point when a great extinction of human beings due to a once in a life catastrophic event—a very strong earthquake with great tsunamis afterwards. He was ordered to go to the peak of Everest for some studies and research there when the catastrophe happened. It spared his life thanks to his work but the thing is he is the only person left in their place; everyone including his family was all obliterated by that deadliest disaster. Just then he realized that he missed his family, that he longs for their occurrence, but it was already too late, he can never resurrect them. His life became worthless. Time had already passed, and once gone can never be back again. It is not a movie that you can rewind if you wanted to watch it again. The word is ‘to treasure something’, as long as there is time cherish it because time will come that these opportunities wouldn’t be knocking again on your door asking for you to grab it just because you missed it.
                I guess that would my adaptation and comprehension as well of the movie. My adaptation is quite simple and too dramatic, but I guess we can get lesson out from it.
