As the driving force behind the proposal to shoot "12 Monkeys", film producer Robert Kosberg has always had a soft spot for the 1962 French short film "Dyke". In his opinion, this avant-garde short film is enough to make a movie. Extraordinary science fiction feature film. Kosberg persuaded the film's director Chris Mark to approach Universal Pictures, who reluctantly agreed to buy the rights to film the adaptation and hired David Webber Pepples and Janet Pepples to write the script. Producer Charles Rowan decided to let Terry Gilliam direct the film because he believes that Gilliam’s style is very suitable for the nonlinear plot and time travel in the film. Before directing this film, Gilliam had just given up on a film adapted from "A Tale of Two Cities". Although the script of "12 Monkeys" was written by others, Gilliam, who has always been happy to write and direct himself, still treats Pipples. The couple’s work was fully affirmed. He said: “This is a charming and clever script. It tells a confusing story about time, madness and perception of the world. It explores madness, dreams, and dreams in a fragmented background. Death and rebirth."

Like "Closed Island," these are all imagined by Bruce Willis, not science fiction. It only adopts a closed loop structure in the narrative. The first time I watched this film was a videotape I watched in 1996 (probably). Back then, I actually thought it was science fiction. There was a report on the inside front cover of a certain issue of "Science Fiction World" in 1995, which is unforgettable.

This is a film with a reasonable plot design but overjoyed, but it doesn’t feel like entering IMDB250. It’s generally deep and the plot is useless. The montage is really good. The other is nothing. The name Twelve Monkeys is added. It’s a bit of mystery—it’s clearly used to mislead the audience, haha

James Cole: Oh, wouldn't it be great if I *was* crazy? Then the world would be okay.

Dr. Owen Fletcher: Kathryn, you're a rational person. You're a trained psychiatrist. You know the difference between what's real and what's not.
Dr. Kathryn Railly: And what we say is the truth is what everybody accepts. Right, Owen? I mean, psychiatry: it's the latest religion. We decide what's right and wrong. We decide who's crazy or not. I'm in trouble here. I'm losing my faith.
