Speculation about the reason for suicide without self-harm in the ending and a little bit of complaints about the film [spoiler, be careful

The first is a little bit of speculation about why it is not the use of self-harm to delay the time to give Lao Qiao a corrective punch but to commit suicide:

1. If you are self-harming, you can only choose the arm. If you choose other parts, it will be fatal or impossible. Delay the time.

2. The self-harming arm is just to delay time. After that, it will definitely be necessary to make another shot, whether it is for oneself (reality) or for oneself (future). Between these two shots, even if Old Joe has only one hand disabled, there is still another hand that can pull the pistol trigger. In such a short time and a short distance, Sarah may not be able to run away or unload before being hit. Take off old Joe's arms. And-

3. The shotgun may need to be reloaded with both hands before it can be reloaded, and the one-handed reloading speed is extremely slow. It’s too late to make another shot before

Lao Qiao shoots. If we don’t even have time to commit suicide, I will pay the lady and break the army; 4. Even if there is no need to refill, based on the distance between Lao Qiao and Xiao Qiao (?), Xiao Qiao will use it only for rookies. The chance of a shotgun hitting Old Joe is extremely small, let alone incapacitating him, let alone injuring Sarah by mistake.
And it is impossible for me to take the gun with one hand and beat the hand of my gun to be completely crippled, and it would be even more troublesome if he failed to make Old Joe drop the gun-that is to say, according to this risk, he would have to commit suicide in the end. ...

5. Run over? Try to narrow the distance and shoot later? Are you running around the bumpy field to see if your distance is shrinking fast or the gun fired faster?

6. After delaying time, the ideological education and other finishing work of Old Joe are too troublesome and there is a risk of failure. It is not as clean as direct suicide. . . .


7. [LAST BUT NOT LEAST] [MOST IMPORTANTLY] You need a lunch box to be worth seeing. Perhaps the director didn't think so much and just wanted him to die, and the rest of the arguments would make the audience round.




Tucao about the movie:

1. The unreasonable TK ability is set up to be abrupt and out of order.

2. The early Rainmaker runaway gave me the full sense of sight of the X-Men Phoenix.

3. The frog croaking light is used for early warning and contact, not for feeding (just let it go, it’s not a room service light!

4. At the end of the bed scene, why is Xiao Qiao naked and silent on Sarah’s bedside smoke afterwards!" men and women full of role reversal sense of violation and okay!

Looper quotes

  • Older Joe: This is a piece of indentifying information on the Rainmaker. He's here. He lives here now. In this county. And I'm gonna use this to find him. And I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna stop him from killing my wife.

    Joe: Fuck you. And your wife. None of this concerns me.

    Older Joe: This is gonna happen...

    Joe: It happened to you. It doesn't have to happen to me. You got a picture right there in my watch? Let me see. Show me the picture. As soon as I see her, I walk away. I'll fucking marry someone else. Promise. So when I see that picture, that fog inside your brain should just swallow up all the memories, right? She'll be gone. If you give her up, she'll be safe.

    Older Joe: Give her up?

    Joe: Yeah, give her up. You're the one who got her killed. She never meets you, she's safe.

    Older Joe: You don't understand. We don't have to give her up. I'm not gonna give her up. I'm gonna save her.

  • Joe: There's a reason we're called loopers. When we sign up for this job, taking out the future's garbage, we also agree to a very specific proviso. Time travel in the future is so illegal, that when our employers want to close our contracts, they'll also want to erase any trace of their relationship with us ever existing. So if we're still alive 30 years from now, they'll find our older self, zap him back to us, and we'll kill him like any other job. This is called closing your loop. Eh, you get a golden payday, you get a handshake, and you get released from your contract. Enjoy the next 30 years. This job doesn't tend to attract the most forward-thinking people.
