Time Crimes
Time Crimes tells the story of a man (Hector) who can travel time to time. The question before watching the film is a life under construction, voyeurism, punishment for looking the woman undressing. Is he a true hero? The concept of doubling and circular narrative. The mask and transformation. What’s the idea of the mask. Misuse of science+technology. Time travel- one little earlier like an hour.
Character: There are three Hectors. 1st Hector is not an honest man. Also, he moves and walks slow. 2nd Hector slowly learns what happens to him and can’t accept it at first. After get out from the time machine, he realizes that he’s the bandage man. He asks the woman for help but she refuses so he forces her to do. The woman runs away and he fails. He accidentally kills a woman who he thought she’s his wife. He fails again so he forces the scientist to send him back in time. 3rd Hector is the one who controls the game. He rapidly changed to a confident person. He knows what he has to do so he decides to crash 2nd Hector by himself. Plus, he tricks the scientist so the 2nd Hector will hit him. He hides his wife and disguise the woman as his wife and send her to death.
