our time There is a Mexican romance-drama with a sign of science-fi. The film revolves around Nora, played by singer and regular Latin Grammy Awards Host Luco, who is shown a mind behind making a time machine with her husband Hector played by Beni Ibara. Hector sees him as a loving companion, while employees of the National Autonomous University of Mexico see him more as an assistant to Hector. They try for additional funds for their project, and invite the dean of the university for food. Dean prefers dinner prepared by Nora, but does not pay attention to his scientific opinion.
Nora finds out how the time machine work is done, physicists travel on time from 1966 to 2025, and face the 21st century miracles. The catch is to hide its scientific success from the world. Nora and Hectares learn about new techniques in 2025, try on the latest fashion and even try to find a way out of the current.
Hector finds it difficult to adapt to women with equal rights, while Nora enjoys experiences and continues her talent. By traveling on time, one can imagine that the main character had a complete change for multicultural social development. The film was shot in Mexico City and one can appreciate the production design in the 1960s, depicting the city.
In 2025, Hector feels that other people see her as an assistant to Nora and try to prove her price. In a conclave where Nora is a guest of honor on International Women’s Day, he cuts his speech with his ‘manplaying’ input. Their speech does not get applause, but the audience shows their opinion that appears as aggressive for women.
When the plot focuses on feminism, it reflects the power of women in today’s world, unlike the 60s. Nora finds its voice and is capable of accepting the progressive mentality that values ​​women. He finds out what patriarchy means and re -defines the old methods. He finds out that gender roles have changed and women are capable of expressing themselves and becoming independent. What happens to his character arc was the most expected. The husband leaves Nora in the future and goes back on time to free her. She writes a letter stating that she is creating her success and is lucky for more and more things. The film ends on a separate note, although after living a life full of achievements. His wrinkles faces reminded me of the 90 -year -old character in the film. Camphor and sonsWhere Rishi Kapoor did extensive makeup and looked like someone whose face was swept away due to a food allergy.
To call our time A science-fi film will not do justice to other science-fi films, as the conspiracy does not consider the audience enough. The film makes the script, editing, visual continuity, lack of music along with chemistry, it makes it with its message.
Our time is currently streaming on Netflix
