In the recent outbreak of the epidemic, I have long heard of the movie's name, and the weird red and white posters have always been the reason why I never forget it. After reading it, I felt a little brain-burning. After reading a few high praise long reviews, I decided to sum up and talk about it.
The general rule that runs through this movie (or most movies of the genre through time and space) is that history will not change as the protagonist travels through time and space. On the contrary, talents who travel through time and space are an important factor in shaping history. In other words, sending people back from the future is the reason for the unfortunate history.
This paradox of time-space causality and the sense of shock when uncovering this paradox is the fascinating story of the movie.

#1. Sorting out the plot flow
The Twelve Monkey Legion has nothing to do with the spread of the virus. It is just a radical organization that protects the abused animals in the experiment. The real virus releaser is the scientist's assistant, the one who believes in the revelation.
"The earth will usher in its end in 1996 due to the virus epidemic" This is the main content of the revelation. The heroine in the film studied the enlightenment and found that for a hundred years, someone had been bizarrely conveying the same "will". She was quite famous and made a public lecture. After listening to the assistant, she was even more convinced that she was chosen by God to end. A person of human history, he chose to comply with the "divine will" to complete this revelation.
Obviously, the enlightenment is due to people's time and space shuttle in the future.
In order to save mankind, future survivors sent out "volunteers" time after time to travel to the past, intentionally or unintentionally warning people at the time that there would be a virus that would destroy mankind in 1996. These supernatural events that have occurred in all ages have become "revelations."
Future is the past.
#2. About future scientists
I have seen some people say in film critics that in the future era, scientists are the ones who really have real power. Compared with the words the heroine said to the professors in the mental hospital in the 1990s, the opinions in the film and the The three-view framework seems to be continuously digging into the energy...
What is normal? What is faith?
#3. Look at the sea
There is also a unique, charming and profound point in the movie
Cole repeatedly mentioned: He wants to live on the surface, like songs from the nineties, breathe fresh air, and see the sea. He was desperate to save mankind, but he was also nostalgic for this era. He wanted to be with the people he loves. These simple and simple life pursuits were extravagant hopes that he could not achieve. He travels through time and space time and time again. Reality and illusion, mission and freedom make him weary and trance.
But how can the organization let him escape? On the night he said he wanted to stay, he was taken back without warning. Even if he was instructed and knocked out his teeth, he still could not escape the ubiquitous surveillance...Brad Pitt played the role, in the nervous twitching and excited Chen What is revealed in the words is not the breath of freedom.
#4. Hue style
The film’s grayish-yellow color, fragments, apocalyptic texture, and many mysterious and strange shots came into being. I really like it inexplicably.
#5. Reincarnation and Hope
At the end of the film, at the end of the airport duel, the heroine knows that Cole has witnessed all this. When her eyes searched among the crowd, that meaningful and gentle smile gave people new hope in Cole's tragedy.
He is still the kid who laughs like a child when he hears A wonderful world! Or is he looking forward to his simplest hope, loving the female psychologist, loving the sea, loving the fresh air, loving Florida, loving this beautiful world?
ps. I delayed for seven days and finally finished writing Liao hhhhh, but it was a bit messy, so I marked the serial number subtitle
The pps. virus outbreak was very far away to me before. He was just lying in the contract "except for irresistible factors such as war and virus". Now it seems that this is force majeure! I have paid my tuition! Not allowed to enter the country! It may even be combined with IELTS! fall!
Come on, come on! Go China! Go Wuhan! I also go! Everything is back, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well!
