Everything is nailed to the wheel of time
"Twelve Monkeys" is definitely the best sci-fi movie in the "Back to the Future" genre. Generally, the selling point of sci-fi movies is only the dazzling stunts, but this movie also uses the time difference between the future and the present to satirize and challenge many concepts and systems that we are accustomed to, especially in the words of the lunatic Jeffrey. It's a classic. What I admire most is the difference between the normal and the lunatic in the film. Is it "normal" to buy...

"The movie doesn't change, but our perspective has."
Seeing that many people are full of doubts about this film, I personally feel that the logic of this film is clear and simple. You can understand it as a simple description of personal fantasy psychology, and then discuss what is real? What is phantom? You can also understand it as a time travel sci-fi film to discuss deeper issues such as time and space. As a fan of "Death Illusion", I prefer the latter, because the logic of this film will be more worthy of scrutiny if understood in this way....

Excuses and can't stand the invasion of annoyance
I had a dream last night, a sudden dream of a friend, without embarrassment or bluntness, and casually joked a few words. There seem to be many more, but feel free to just remember these.
I don't know if it's a dream to remember, or a dream to remember.
I don't know if the future changes the past, or if the past determines the future.
Like the beginning, the movie also begins with a dream. This dream runs through the entire movie and is a little...

I saw 12 monkeys a long time ago, and I thought it was a classic sci-fi movie. I recently watched a few Terry Gilliam films, including Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
What a strange film, all kinds of strange ah. Has a particularly distinctive and typical Gilliam style. He was as unruly as ever. For the government, authority, system, convention, all restraints, he is always full of sarcasm and ridicule. His sci-fi world is always:
cold,
everyone is extremely lonely,...

Coinciding with the year of the end of the world
It's really interesting to read a bunch of comments.
No approval or disapproval is the result of everyone's thinking and fantasy. Maybe this is the director's purpose.
I am more inclined to the time
travel mentioned by a certain person.
There is always someone to make the change.
Maybe it was supposed to be done by the twelve monkeys, but because of James' time travel
, the people who do it are changing one by one.
Whether it 's Pete, the assistant, or...

Originally, it was exciting to watch it with a friend during the Tanabata Festival, but after seeing half of the ending, we all complained about it... =, = I feel that all the paradoxes of time travel may be explained by parallel space, and it can be a little bit more What is more...

Producer Robert Kosberg has always had a soft spot for the 1962 French short film "Dike," which, in his opinion, was enough of an avant-garde short to make for an extraordinary sci-fi feature. Cosberg persuaded the film's director, Chris Mark, to approach Universal, which reluctantly agreed to buy the rights to the adaptation and bring in David Webb Peeples and Janet Peeples to write the script. (VIA Time...

This may just be the whimsical fantasy of an 8-year-old boy, but it's also a serious dystopian fable. Compared with the witty irony and humor in Terry Gilliam's other works, although the setting of animals re-governing the world is absurd, it is also an angle of worry about the future. The style of the film is darkened and becomes much more serious, and the circular narrative is enlarged. The fatalistic color of the...

Astrophysicist: You might say that *we're* the next endangered species - human beings.
Dr. Peters: I think you're right ma'am. I think you've hit the nail on the head.
Astrophysicist: Jones is my name.

Astrophysicist: I'm in insurance.
Louie: Where'd they send you?
James Cole: 1990.
Louie: '90! How was it? Good drugs? Lots of pussy? Hey, Bob, you do the job? You find out the big info? Army of the 12 Monkeys?
James Cole: I was supposed to be 1996.
Louie: Science ain't an exact science with these clowns but, they're getting better. You're lucky you didn't end up in ancient Egypt!

James Cole: Jose - psst! Jose, what's going on?
Jose: Bad news, man
James Cole: Volunteers?
Jose: Yeah. And they said your name.
[pause]
Jose: Hey, maybe they'll give you a pardon, man.
James Cole: [sarcastic] Yeah, that's why none of the volunteers come back. They all get a pardon.
