      "Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind. Yes! Using that model they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next, say, 10 years. Which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind to - to determine everything I was gonna do in that period. So you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me. She knows everything I'm ever gonna do before I know it myself. How's that?"🖕

    When I first saw 12 Monkeys me, my friends and the people I work with were talking about it for days afterward trying to analyze this and that. To me, THAT is the sign of a great movie. I still have some unanswered questions about the movie,* but that's okay. I still love it to this day. I have not seen the 12 Monkeys TV show from a few years ago. Is it any good?
    * Such as, how come the voice calls him "Bob" and how come the homeless guy - who sounds exactly like that voice - knows who James is in some timelines but not in others? Was the scientist woman who sits next to the crazy virologist on the airplane at the end of the movie sent to that time to do something or is that her BEFORE she ends up being one of the scientists in the future?

Cole repeatedly says that he cannot change the future, only that he can get the virus in its pure form so that the people in the future can return to the surface.
      Of course there's also the depressing possibility that Cole really is a mental patient and none of this was real. :(

      @@BullyMaguire4ever what part is ambiguous? We start the story in the future so are fully aware that Cole is telling the truth later when he is in the mental institution. If the story had started in the mental institution I could see it being an ambiguous story. The way the plot unfolds is all about learning how the future came to be and not at all about questions of whether what we have seen previously is Cole’s imagination - that people don’t believe Cole is essential to the plot but the audience isn’t asked to question him
      I think “finding the movie in the editing” and “not being able to see the forrest for the trees” were at work here for TG. I think it says something about how a director attempts to put something of themselves into a movie that someone else wrote - TG has the creative visuals but his grasp of narrative is maybe suspect (much like Ridley Scott). TG got away with it on this one.

      Midway in the film Bruce's character Cole explains that once he had located the virus, they would send one of the scientists back in time to study it. The lady scientist sitting in the seat next to Dr Peters, that's what she was there for.

    • @matt_canon
      @matt_canon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Not sure exactly why, but he had the dream with Pitt's character right when he returned to the future from 1990, where he had been fully sedated from trying to escape the mental hospital.
      A possible explanation could be what Kathrin (lady psychiatrist) told Cole at the motel in 1996 when he said she was in his dream just then, and said he never realized it was her. Her response was "It wasn't me before, its *become* me because of what is happening." While this wasn't the case with Kathrin, it might be the case with Pitt's character. Young Cole barely caught a glimpse of Peter's face when he said 'watch it' and mostly just remembers his yellow clothes and red ponytail. -- I might be wrong, this is just speculation which the movie leaves a lot of room for.

      What I got was. ...Stowe.. Saw Bruce killed and their story would end there... But she also saw little Bruce with his parents...and KNEW he would grow in another timeline but never knowing her... But he would not die that way at the airport... because one of the scientists ladies from the future was later in the plane scene and would take care of David Morse... Hence...Bruce had done his job by warning them about Jeffrey Goines only focusing on animal freedom..NOT world extermination...so the future scientist knew who to stop...even if it meant they...the scientists would never be born into this paradox...which is what it really was... Anyway dude...thats my take and I like it.... Hope that gives you some idea... Iron Maiden rules !!!

    can someone tell me what the hell terry gilliam is talking about? The movie clearly shows that the protagonist is from the future and that the story is real. WTF??? How can you say you can't know if the protagonist is just making it up???

      Hmmmm. I remember feeling it wasn’t crystal clear, the jumping around in time. In other words, the ambiguity Gilliam says he intended seemed to come through to me. But … I haven’t seen the film in years and maybe I’d view it differently now. The steam punk-ish sensibility of those scenes where the (perhaps) futuristic scientists are putting Willis through his paces is vintage Gilliam, and I think it’s intended to message that what you’re seeing might not be quite what’s actually happening. Anyway, it’s late and I’m tired and I’m probably not making a whole lotta sense. Toodles, this has been fun.

    Bruce is a psycho with memories maybe of his father/grandfather being
    killed in the 1918-1920 pandemic of H1N1 .... the boy that fell in the
    well is him (and maybe from the hit lost his mind) and from that moment
    his mind is constantly imprisoned in the endless time loop that he
    invented to avoid a traumatic experience maybe regarding the Spanish flu
    that happened in the past that's why it cannot be altered since it
    already happened, Riley/Jones are the same person in which Riley/Jones
    has to sacrifice humanity in order for his fictional character
    (Jones/Riley) to exist in predestination paradox! Jose is the voice
    inside his head or a man from his past who also died or contracted the
    1918 flu H1N1 (reference to WW1/flu same era) since they were supposed
    to be childhood friends, remember that he was coughing in the airport
    scene as he did after returning from WW1 where he saw Jose, he actually
    doesn't exist Cole is speaking with himself! Riley in his present is the
    good doctor a fictional character that might free him from the endless
    time loop of his mind and Jones the bad doctor a depiction of the future
    Riley which doesn't let him live in the present ... that's all folks
    time travel does not exist, it exists only in our minds which can create
    fictional new worlds to avoid trauma! Also the 12 monkeys stuff is an
    input he got from the other psycho which is played by Brad Pitt, it fit
    well in his fantasies since that guy had to do with virology, a son of a
    very famous scientist ... what an input in his troubled mind which was
    stuck in the 1918-1920 flu pandemic (2nd wave the deadliest of all
    times) that almost killed 150 million people and contaminated the 1/3 of
    the world's population of that time! Adios! In the ending scene his
    subconscious warns him to kill the reason of his loop RileY!

    His Quixote film was such a piece of shit. I think his film choices have declined as his politics shot to the far left. He'll never make another decent film.

      He was far left when he made all his films. Maybe your knowledge of decent films has declined as your politics have shot to the far right.

      Quioxte was unfocused, tedious and riddled with clichés. I kept thinking it will converge and start happening but never did. With The Zero Theorem I gave up after 10 min. It was soaked in doom.
