One of the first components to analyzing how Robert Zemeckis uses time throughout his movies is understanding the two-different time based theories. The first theory of these two involves the more commonly used definition of time. Mary and John Gribbin are the authors of the book Time & Space in which they describe the two definitions of time.

The movie, “In Time”, has a very sudden and abrupt that could have made the movie slightly unenjoyable for some of the audience. In the original ending, Will Salas and Sylvia Weis are seen getting out of a car before they are about to rob a bank Bonnie and Clyde-style, and after a short dialogue between the two, the credits roll. This is not how most would envision the perfect ending to satisfy their minds, so that part was cut, and this is the new, brain-pleasing ending.

(Art Gallery of Alberta, 2015) With unifying the disparate fragments of timepieces, demarcating and minute by minute, ‘The Clock’ is created as a 24-hour video with coherent real time. Christian Marclay’s capability of applying cut-up method plays a vital role in creating a feeling of fictional to watch ‘The Clock’. The viewers will not notice what time actually is. On the contrary, they are able to feel like the film is about a mosaic of moments with a brand-new story. In some scenes, the time is just glimpsed in the background which is irrelevant to the following action. Sometimes, the running out time gives a poke to the entire dialogue.

In the case of Allie and Noah, her family separated them due to their discriminative issue of financial stability. Allie was sent away to New York, for college, and to engage with people that her parents felt were a proper social environment of upper-class style people. After 7-years had passed, Allie saw Noah's picture in the newspaper and felt the need to go back to Seabrook Island. Allie felt she needed to see Noah, to have closure of the past relationship they shared, but instead of closure the love rekindled and she was faced with the dilemma

It is 2017, and Donald Trump is the President, no matter what people think about him he is leading our nation. Hillary Clinton gave him a good run for his money, but she did not accomplish the end goal, which is becoming President. Years ago it would not have been heard of for a woman to run as President. Over the years women have been accomplishing a lot, specifically women in literature. Women have always been doubted and held back from what they truly can accomplish because of this women have worked harder to make their voice heard and their work recognized.

Time is also a theme element found in Arrival. Arrival revolves heavily on time. Travelling a nonlinear way. A paradox. Examining Louise’s nonlinear experiences relating back to experiencing time in a nonlinear manner. The film plays with the idea that time bounces around between timelines perhaps that time itself flows more mysteriously and circuitously than we fathom. As an illustration, one of Louise’s opening lines is “learning to appreciate life’s moments, live outside the bounds of time” (Arrival). Maybe life on earth isn’t all there is to exist. One in which time is a pool that can be traversed in all directions, shifting our perspective as well. In other words, timelines move from past, present, and future challenging the nature of

Love, both in its reciprocated and unrequited forms, and jealousy, are the main topics here, but they never achieved a real climax or even a sense of purpose, failing roundly to boost a film that started high-powered and ended crawling.
