Devastating, the first word I
uttered after watching the film.
All The Time is about "the story
of a man who seeks salvation in the rubble of a ruined world."
Henry Bemis, an anti-social booklover, finds himself in the middle of
nowhere after an H-bomb from the nuclear war wiped out everyone,
except him, that exists. At first, he’s elated in the solitude that
he has gained; however, eventually, loneliness replaces this
solitude. He comes to a point of committing suicide. As he prepares
the gun he has found, he sees the ruins of a public library. This
gives him a reason to continue his existence. He has all the time in
the world to spend in this paradise of his. But then again, all good
things must come to an end. As he’s about to get the first book
he’s going to read, his glasses slipped off and shattered on the
ground.
If I were to make an adaptation of the
story, I would shift it to our situation nowadays. There are a lot of
people addicted to computer games which cause them to shut themselves
from the real world. I would want the main character to be male dota
addict. A bit of romance could be added so as to make the man succumb
to extreme sorrow after all his loved ones die. He would suffer the
same fate as Henry; he would think he found his heaven on earth, but
he’d be mistaken.
