What are some films about the unrelenting, never ending, all destructive force of time?

Zodiac

I think the most disgusting part for me is how often "time" is seen as something positive in movies. People grow wiser. They become happier. Sure people die around then but they still become better people than at the start before the time skips.
Something that portrays time as something sinister and soul-crushing would've been great. And I can't name any really.

It's literally what you and OP are looking for.

We have to quantify aging somehow.

You do realise that this is immediately disproved by the existence of time crystals, right?

>>80232861
I hate this film so much but this.
>>80233973
But it isn't a theory. We've created time crystals.
>>80233732
I knew some retard would say something like this the second I read the OP
If time runs out where does it go?
>>80234107
up
and away
There are only two things that last forever. Time and death. Eventually, when everything else is dead, time itself will die. Then, at last, with the only thing left in existence is death, death itself will also die.
>>80232861
My first thought actually. I want to slit my wrists now.

Who else /afraid to die/ here?

I'm still waiting for that Godwin's Law subtheory about how some autist will eventually mention Dark Souls or Bloodborne in any unrelated discussion.

Ah, Crow's theory:
Some annoying pseudo-intellectual reminds us of a theory regarding a subject cropping up "given enough time" despite the fact that, with enough time, literally every word that will ever exist will be spoken.

When you die, having lived or not has no matter.
FOREVER YOUNG
I WANNA BE FOREVER YOUNG
>>80234899
Fuck that song. I still feel sorry for my old music teacher when she put that on and you could see the small touch of regret and despair on her face.
>>80234899
>tfw 6 years old and that song still giving you chills about the rapid inevitability of old age and death
>>80234259
I welcome the idea of death. Honestly, not even trying to be edgy. I don't act like it in real life, but I really wanna get this living shit over with. I'm not religious, but I still I feel like death comes with answers.

The Time Machine
>>80234259
I used to get really anxious thinking about death and stuff when I was about to hit 30.
But now at 32 I don't think about it that much.
>>80234259
Every couple of months the terror of nothingness after death creeps into my room and gives me a mild panic attack, but I always brush it off and immediately feel much more alive than I have ever been previous to that moment.
>>80234259
unless you're retarded, you're afraid to die by default. That's how you made it this far.
>>80235534
Doesn't it mostly go in waves? When I became 20, I thought my anxiety for death that I felt strongly during my teens completely gone. And now as 25 I feel it come back stronger than ever before.

>When I became 20, I thought my anxiety for death that I felt strongly during my teens completely gone. And now as 25 I feel it come back stronger than ever before.
Literally me, you are not alone. Didnt have a single "episode" from 18-22, then BAM they started coming back. I think I've matured enough to be able to handle it better.
The Shawshank Redemption
is not the final message of course, but it's a strong threat that the immates prefer to avoid, they'll either die inside or feel tossed outside unable to adjust to the changes the world experienced while they were locked.
>>80234259
Growing old is scarier to me.
First there is the regret. You are old and can't go back in time. Your opportunities are fewer and fewer the older you get.
Health problems. You might get health issues that will make it hard for you to move and will make you feel pain ALL THE TIME.
You might become incontintent.
You might get some kind of cancer that will require painful treatments.
Or you might develop dementia.
Being at the mercy of strangers to care for you.
Also there is the constant dread of dying any moment from a heart attack or brain bleeding.

>yfw afterlife
>>80234259
it's hard for me to accept that I'll never get to experience anything ever again
not being able to look, feel, think, hear ever again
I had general anesthesia once, it was as if I had blinked and hours had passed, I imagine death will be something like that as well
>When you realize that life is just the means of decaying DNA desperately attempting reproduction before the DNA hits great decay and kills the host only so it can live on in the child
Our DNA is like a virus. And we're the hosts that are meant to keep it alive. Only instead of just a capsule like a common virus, our DNA builds great creatures of thinking and feelings. And it throws us away just as easily.

>tfw to intelligent to obey DNA
>>80239820
I wish that argument worked on me, but I can't help but feel fear
guess it's an irrational fear
>Dying is like before you were born
I mean, that's not exactly true. Before you were born you didn't exist. Your consciousness and energy were never put into being.
So where does that energy go when you die? It can't be like before you were born, because there was no "you" before you were born.
>>80239867
kek
literally me!!!
>>80231116
This is the perfect movie about the unrelenting, never ending, all destructive force of time cleverly disguised as a children's movie.
>>80231149
I think this
>>80234259
I think that few people are afraid to die, and that mostly what haunts their minds is to die slowly, or painfully.
>>80240152
But the energy did exist, the only difference is that right now you are conscious, but when you die you'll return to the unconscious state you where when you where unborn, and your energy will just go and be part of other things. By the way, we gain and lose energy at all times, so there's not like an energy that's ours.

You didn't have a very good education, I assume ?
how do i die without upsetting my family lads?
>>80235219
They involve perpetual motion rather than working with time, nor are they actual crystals.
It'd be like flicking jello, but theres no initial flick, and the jello undulates for eternity.
>>80239584
This. Not even being able to think "fuck I'm gone and I can't come back"
You're just gone. Just the same as before you were born.

You have to wait, otherwise you will utterly ruin the rest of their lives, leaving them to think that it was all a waste.
>>80231254
I just catched it on TV in my country
>>80234259
I'm not afraid to die. Seeing other people I know die is scarier
>>80236313
This. I've always secretly treated old people with respect not because I was taught to, because I can think of few fates worse than watching yourself forcibly become a worse human being, perhaps not mentally, but physically.
All the dreams you had of doing amazing things, all of the little attractiveness you might have mustered up. Your skin is wrinkly and disgusting, you can't lift a goddamn thing, you stink of death. Even if you're a physical badass who tore shit up in your youth it'll all just....get drained from you.
I constantly live in fear of the last 20 years of my life when I look and feel like shit, but no longer have the capability of doing something about it.
Women? You can still bed beautiful ones if you're rich or charismatic. But they'll never look at you the way they looked at you 30-40 years prior. You'll never keep them up at night, genitals tingling with the thought of you.
It's a stupid thing to complain about, I hate a lot of the things you can't do as an old person anyway and don't do them NOW.
But there's something about the lost opportunity for change or growth that's really tragic about growing old. Even death isn't that scary. Imagine if you could live as a young, healthy person all the way up until your death.
>>80231257
I also think it wasted the potential of the idea but that the film was still good.
Just feel like the complication of the film wasn't a real complication. It was like a first world problem.
"like oh I have to choose between my kid or seeing my dad again" fuck you! No one else here has a choice! Okay!
>>80236313
This right here. Completely absurd when you realize that we're built to only be useful and resilient and strong for the first 30 years of our life (if we're lucky), and then slowly disintegrate for the next 50 years.
Nature intended for us to be killed off after we breed, just like every other organism.

Once upon a time in America.
>This fucking threadI've already been dealt a bad hand and only just recently started getting my shit together.
>>80234259
I used to, but I don't give a shit anymore. I actually welcome it.
I used to see death as this sad and painful moment but now I see it as some kind of sweet release from suffering.
