"12 Monkeys" is indispensable in the classic science fiction films. Pete's neurotic act is so wonderful that it makes it impossible to connect him in this play with the "Seven Deadly Sins". The heroine can remind the audience of Sarah in "Prison Break", Bruce's eyes are deep, and the ending is moving, making people feel that this is a romantic movie for a moment .
The original work of this remake is the 28-minute "Dike", directed by the puzzling Chris Mark in the New Wave. "12 Monkeys" has a strong personalization of Gillette Trim, but also a strong religious and metaphysical color. The film contains a huge paradox: if Bruce Willis succeeds in saving mankind according to his own ideas, then he is an out-and-out mental patient who has rewritten history; if he fails to save mankind, Then he will fall into the paradox of returning to the past, which is getting closer and closer to the future, one after another in an attempt to save mankind. This is an endless loop given by Gillette Trim, and it is also an excellent sci-fi film he shot after "Missing the Heavens".
The two films have their own characteristics. "Dyke" is an epoch-making film: its way of telling stories, its shooting techniques and concepts, and its pioneering development of film vocabulary are all eye-catching. "12 Monkeys" is a sci-fi film with rich connotation. Although it does not have the epoch-making significance of "Dike", it is also indescribable .
