Magneto Childhood Biography

The worldview of the film is well built, so that the science fiction film is half of the success, but there are still flaws. The first problem is that the dead end of this cycle has no logical starting point. Everyone is a victim, and everyone is a cause and effect. The second question is, how can the same person come into contact with each other? According to classical time-space logic, no one can appear twice at the same time and place.



There are even more problems with the plot. First, the plot is high and low. After a series of tension, a long period of emotional preparation suddenly began. Although this preparation is necessary, it makes the movie dull. Secondly, except for a few main characters, the other supporting roles are very thin and obscure. Needless to say, Xu Qing is just a vase, which is needed for American films to enter the Chinese market. A coffee such as Jeff Daniels also used soy sauce, and the purpose of the character image is not clear.



The background of the story is also unclear. Has the US economy collapsed? Is the dollar completely dead? Everyone started to use hard currencies like gold and silver. However, the renminbi is still strong. This kind of apocalyptic plot failed to fully unfold, and the so-called tramp has also become a story background like a zombie. Originally thought that there would be a magnificent second half, but with a turn of the pen, it became the childhood biography of Magneto. It's a pity.

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.
