The more lacking, the more thirsty, the crazier and more terrifying

Strictly maybe 3.5 stars~ The
"two rings"
time ring reciprocates infinitely between Joseph and Bruce, simple and easy to understand; the causal ring is the highlight of the film, relatively hidden, it begins to appear in the second half of the film and the end is revealed, which is Bruce's intention. Going back and killing her wife’s childhood version of the raincaller, but finally let us discover that it was Bruce who made good boy Joe the dark raincaller. The second causal loop is formed under the background of the time loop. This is roughly the main logic of Loopers. It's just that Lao Mei made fatalism so clear by accident.

However, what impressed me the most in the whole film was not the half-cool logic, or the few thriller shots of disappearing fingers, nor the few special effects that Xiao Qiao roared like X man.
And it was the little boy who was snarling and restless, whose slowly calm expression in the comfort of his mother's love and words shocked me. The power of love is so strong that it makes everything quiet and good. And the less it is, the more craving and crazier it becomes, the more terrifying it becomes. . .


What puzzled me in the film was Bruce's anger. . . You can only go back and forth in time. Isn't that a prerequisite for you to enter? How can I unilaterally break the contract because of my dependence on love and thirst for love, and still feel rightly angry. . . It was your greed for love that harmed your woman. You knew the end long ago, but you promoted this unwillingness to love and then turned it into anger and spread it elsewhere, so there is a causal reincarnation. . .

Spit 2 points. . .
1. The Bund like this made me feel so embarrassed. For a few seconds, I thought I was watching a spoof short film. . . That big Mazda billboard. . Oh, hi,
2, Joseph's sex scene is too much, right? . . Dare to have something to do with the plot, or add a little more foreshadowing, otherwise I can only understand all the reasons as the emptiness and loneliness of the woman, and the man will directly go without pushing it. . . This is too embarrassing. .

    Time travel + Bruce Willis, this has to make people compare this film with 12 monkeys.

Looper quotes

  • Older Joe: My memory's cloudy. It's a cloud. Because my memories aren't really memories. They're just one possible eventuality now. And they grow clearer or cloudier as they become more are less likely. But then they get to the present moment, and they're instantly clear again. I can remember what you do after you do it. And it hurts.

    Joe: So even when we're apart, you can remember what I do after?

    Older Joe: Yes, but this is a precise description of a fuzzy mechanism. It's messy.

  • Sara: This is a Remington 870. One blast could cut you the fuck in half.

    Joe: In half. Yeah, that's telling. You're holding a gun, I say I'm not afraid, so you describe the gun to me. It's not the gun I'm not afraid of.
