Ethics in Film: Classic Science Fiction - The Time Machine November 6, 2009

In this film based on the classic novel by H.G. Wells, a scientist (Rod Taylor) invents a time machine that allows him to explore the earth's distant future -- a place of idyllic beauty that also harbors a sinister evil. Co-starring Yvette Mimieux as a docile inhabitant of the future, The Time Machine won an Oscar for its trippy special effects. Beware the Morlocks! A lively discussion will follow the film.
