Book vs. Movie: The Time Machine (1960, 2002)

[@bldrgn]

I like both versions, because they both bring something to the table. And the 2002 version the overarching paradox of why he can’t change the past coming to fruition near the end of the movie makes the ride worth it. and there is also one that came out in the late 70s called. Time after Time where the author Herbert Wells chases Jack the Ripper through time definitely worth a watch.

I love the musical score for the 2002 version.

I really feel like 2002 movie left me with an empty feeling after it was over. It felt unresolved. At least in the book it had a better ending.

I don't agree first time I ever watched movie bizarrely. I felt Guy Pearce character destiny was to save humanity😸

Will you do more of H G Well's works, like The Invisible Man or The War of the Worlds.

Great video! Only feedback I would give is that the music is a little loud and distracting at times.

JUST in case! You don’t do videos for me, right? But JUST in case this inspires you, I’d love to see: “Sense and Sensibility”, “Howards End”, “Vanity Fair” - the way you format these is just amazing!

My favorite book from Wells.

Futurama's "Late Philip J Fry" was best adaptation to film.

[@rogerlynch5279]

Yes, the version of 2002 had been directed by SIMON WELLS ! a Great - Grandson of H.G. Wells. Fun Fact: As his famous Great - Grandfather he does not believe in " THE NATURAL SUPERIORITY OF THE CAUCASIAN RACE " as it had been common in his time, hence he used many Asian and African based people for acting in the movie. Just mentioning it because I heard often people complain about this talking about the 2002 version

I find your lack of comprehension of the novel's main theme somehow ... naive. You missed the fact that Wells used his novels to understand and also criticize his society, that of Victorian Great Britain. In "War of the Worlds" he confronted the self-righteous Britains with the horrifying impact of colonialism when a supreme civilization invades and exploits an indigenous culture, this time Great Britain itself. And in "The Time Machine" Wells criticized the harsh separation of upper and lower class. Here, the cozy Victorian citizen learned about the result of this caste society: A future society of two classes: one slave-like underground culture that works and feeds the upper class that live likes in paradise or elysium. But the high society also serves as food cattle for the restless workers. Both depend on each other. Both have no conscience since the strict cast rules have become unquestioned and totalitarian. Though the main character sides with the Eloi, he is also depressed about the transformation of the working class. Now compare this development to the current trend in our recent culture: The intellectual elite becomes more and more naive to practical work and economics, also indulging in a vegetarian movement while the lowest class of workers are caught in the growing unsecure temporary employment sector, indulging in a mass consumation of flesh food (Trust me, I've seen this tradition too often). So, regarding both movies, I must conclude that the older movie still confronts us with this dark development and clearly reveals the reasons for this. In the newer adaptation this warning message has been eradicated and replaced for a simple good vs. evil story. A failed, emptied adaptation.

I always love HG Wells, but im here because the last movie ( is a shame , to all mankind, have only two of this brilhant master pierce project) but, as a seeing, i came here from the past, by a beloved song by IRON MAIDEN - " CAUGHT SOMEWHERE IN TIME ", and a fan made movie clip, with the second movie, i just loved (a clip, not a 2º movie ate all), but the drama of the traveling, as a my self drama, make us wonder ! dont you ??? Is my 24 h/day, unfortunately

Ironically, novels of H.G. Wells inspired Adolf Hitler's Nazi atrocities and Serbian Halloween of 1990s to consider how Europeans had lived in dank castles for centuries of how even Queen Victoria had to burn garbage for illumination.
