I cannot help you a whole lot because I have not seen the movie as of yet, however I know the basic premise of it just from seeing some of the trailers, etc.

Think of the questions below when writing your essay:

-If you were given a remote control that controlled the pace of your life would you use it? If so, at what times would you use it?

-If the consequences of starting use of this remote control were that the “batteries” would run out after 3 months and you would be stuck at that time wherever you are, would you still want to alter your life for the next three months using this remote?

-In an old episode of “The Twilight Zone”, there was a man who had a watch that, when the top button was pressed, allowed time to stand still until the button was pressed again. The man eventually got carried away using this device to stop time whenever he wanted and for how long he wanted. At one of the final scenes, he attempts to use the watch to rob a bank by walking into the bank and pressing the watch button and simply walking into the vault and taking all the money. However, in this process, the watch is accidentally broken and when he attempts to resume time by pressing the button, nothing happens. So now, he is stuck forever in a world where time stands still for everyone else except him.

The question you can draw from that is would you take a chance in using either a remote control or watch that froze time if there was a risk that the above scenario may happen?

-Do certain unpleasant events in life happen for a reason? Do we need to experience them in order to grow as a person ? Is “fast forwarding” through them necessarily the best approach?

-The Powerball lottery winner just came forward and won the all time highest jackpot of one billion dollars. A billion dollars sounds really nice to you and you have this remote and have the winning numbers. Would you use the “rewind” button to go back in time and buy a ticket with the winning numbers so that you would win? If so, how would that effect your present day life and would it be for the better or for the worse?

Would you use this device to do anything else such as know the answers to a test or be able to predict the future in any way?

Those are just some questions for thought to get you started, but please word your essay in the format that the college admissions committee wants. I have just provided these questions to give you some ideas. Good luckl
