Yes, it is not the Twilight movie everybody knows, so probably it's the first time I've seen it, the title of the film is "Time enough at last", but I incorporated it with twilight. Although the first part was a little bit boring, the part where Henry told his boss that his wife's preventing him from reading books, newspapers, or even the label of a ketchup got me confused, and so I wondered why my parents keep on telling me that reading is good. Then I found out that the wife's reason was that Henry got so obsessed in reading that he's wasting too much time reading than having a real conversation with his family. Obviously, the two have different priorities in life.
Desperate, Henry locked himself in a vault just to read his books. He read the headline of the newspaper and 'voila!', it came true! An explosion hit the entire land. He woke up from his sleep and got out of the vault. He searched for persons alive, he shouted but no one answered. Everything has fallen, and he's the only person alive. Although he is lucky enough to be alive, and has all the food he can eat, the cars he wanted to drive, it surely is a lonely place. He tried to commit a suicide but unfortunately, the pistol he tried to use ran out of bullets. Later on, he saw a sign with 'Public Library' written on it. His eyes sparkled for he loves books. The books were stacked, and all of his favorite readings were there. He got all the time he needs, he had it all. But the odds were not in his favor. His eyeglasses, the only chance to clear his eyesight, got broken.
How unfortunate Henry is. I feel like the video was too short though. I wished I have all the time I need to do the things I want to do. But I guess you really can't have it all. Maybe I'm still in the 'Morning' time of my life, for I'm just about to start the life I want to pursue. Not just for me, but there will come a time for all of us, this 'Twilight' of our lives. Be prepared. Twilight it is, the darkness will come soon.
