  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

He becomes friends with one of the Eloi, Weena, when he saves her from drowning. After she dies in a fire, the Time Traveller is forced to escape from the Morlocks on his own. He does, and then takes his time machine even farther into the future to see the end of the world. He leaves again the next day, and though he says he will return, the Time Traveller is never seen again. Chapters 1 and 2: We meet four men at dinner discussing time travelling. A man called The Time Traveller is showing them a model of a time machine he has designed. He makes it disappear. Another evening The Time Traveller arrives late for dinner, dusty and tired with a About the author strange tale to tell. Herbert George Wells (1866–1946) was born in Chapters 3 and 4: The Time Traveller describes his first Bromley, Kent, in the United Kingdom. His father was frightening attempts at time travelling, how he has seen a shopkeeper and professional cricketer. Wells studied the moon and sun rush across the sky. Then he decides biology and, leaving science college without a degree, to stop, and lands in a strange world of sweet, gentle but taught for four years.

    THE TIME MACHINE by H.G. Wells THE AUTHOR Herbert George Wells (1866-1946) was born into a poor family outside London; his father was a shopkeeper and professional cricketer and his mother a housekeeper. He worked hard to gain an education at the University of London, where he studied under T.H. Huxley, one of the earlier supporters of Darwinism, and where he graduated with a Zoology degree in 1888. For the next five years, he taught science, then turned to journalism and the writing of science fiction. The publication of his first story, The Time Machine, in 1895 made his reputation, despite the fact that he was strongly criticized by Jules Verne for the speculative and romantic aspects of the narrative. He wrote more than 150 books, including The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), and The War of the Worlds (1898). In 1903 he joined the Fabian Society, a group of British socialists who believed that social change could come peacefully by democratic means, but who also favored social engineering, including eugenics and selective breeding, in order to achieve the optimum social conditions. PLOT SUMMARY The story, narrated by one of the guests, begins in the home of the Time Traveller. He is hosting a dinner party for a group of his friends, all of whom are professional men. He speaks to them of the fourth dimension and the possibility of time travel. He then brings out a model, puts it on a table, and activates it. The model suddenly disappears, and the Time Traveller tells the others that it has gone into the future.

  • Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, the Wind-Up Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, and Children of the Sky by Vernor Vinge
    Time Ships by Stephen Baxter, The Wind-Up Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi, and Children of the Sky by Vernor Vinge As you may recall, we left the Time Traveler in 1891, after just recounting to his friends his trip into the far future, where he encountered the child-like Eloi and the gruesome Morlocks, who fed on the Eloi for supper. Feeling guilty and despondent over losing Weena (an Eloi) in the dark woods of the distant future (802,701 AD), the Time Traveler, after telling his story, disappears again. Perhaps he intends to go back and save Weena? Now let us assume that one of the Time Traveler’s friends in 1891 is a writer, who takes copious notes on the Time Traveler’s tale and writes it out as a book and publishes it. The writer is H. G. Wells and the book published in 1895 (which is indeed an accurate chronicle of the Time Traveler’s fantastic tale) is The Time Machine. This is exactly where we now take up the tale again. The Time Traveler sets out once more into the future to rescue Weena. But as he is traveling through thousands upon thousands of years he begins to notice that the unfolding future does not appear the same, as on the first trip, and in the year 657,208 AD, he stops the machine. The earth is dark and cold and there is no sun or stars in the sky. His first trip—his recounting of the trip to his friends, including Wells, and the subsequent publication of The Time Machine—have changed future history.

The American spelling is with one "L", but since the traveller is a key part of the novel, we have left that spelling alone and kept it in the original format. While many of the other words have been "Americanized", the spelling of "The Time Traveller and "travelling" with 2 "L's"have been retained in their original British format. KEY LITERARY ELEMENTS SETTING There is but one physical setting for the entire story, but three temporal settings are used over the course of the novel. The book begins in late 19th century London, specifically, in the Time Traveller’s home in Richmond, a borough on the Thames River, on the outskirts of London.

  • Three Film Adaptations of HG Wells's the Time Machine a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty
    Prominent Social Anxieties Adapted: Three Film Adaptations of H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research For the Degree of Master of Arts In English University of Regina By Maxx Randell Regina, Saskatchewan July 2015 © M. Randell, 2015 UNIVERSITY OF REGINA FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND RESEARCH SUPERVISORY AND EXAMINING COMMITTEE Maxx Randell, candidate for the degree of Master of Arts in English, has presented a thesis titled, Prominent Social Anxieties Adapted: Three Film Adaptations of H.G. Wells’s The Time Machine, in an oral examination held on June 26, 2015. The following committee members have found the thesis acceptable in form and content, and that the candidate demonstrated satisfactory knowledge of the subject material. External Examiner: Dr. Philippe Mather, Department of Film Supervisor: *Dr. Nicholas Ruddick, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Susan Johnston, Department of English Committee Member: Dr. Jes Battis, Department of English Chair of Defense: Dr. Leanne Groeneveld, Department of Theatre *Participated via Video Conference Abstract My thesis is concerned with three different film adaptation of H.G. Wells’s classic novella The Time Machine (1895). These adaptations are George Pal’s feature The Time Machine (1960), Henning Schellerup’s telefilm The Time Machine (1978), and Simon Wells’s Hollywood blockbuster The Time Machine (2002). There are certain elements in the source text that I identify as important that a film should engage with if it is likely to be considered an adaptation of The Time Machine. Absolute fidelity to the source text is not a requirement, I believe, to be an effective adaptation, but adaptations do need to respect the source text, especially an admired classic like The Time Machine.
