I like the 1960 Version with Rod Taylor and Yvette Mimeux. Which version do you like, optional why?
when he finally finds himself 800,000 years in the future, he doesn't dream of going back immediately. He's a man of science, he is there to learn, to see what the world is like in this far flung future.But that's exactly how the character in the Pal version behaves initially. He wants very much to learn, to "see what the world is like in this far flung future". Recall how eagerly he tries to read the books in the library, to ask questions of the Eloi, to listen to the talking rings. It's only after he realizes that the Eloi are so oblivious to everything that he becomes disgusted.
It's only after he realizes that the Eloi are so oblivious to everything that he becomes disgusted.But a real scientist would NEVER get disgusted. (Or at least not so disgusted that he would voluntarily leave.) He has created the greatest invention in the history of humanity, and he decides to throw away the fruits of that invention just because they don't meet his expectations. (What colossal fool. How can someone that stupid even dress themself in the morning, let alone build a time machine?)
a real scientist would NEVER get disgusted.Well, since people get disgusted, and since scientists are people....
