Who can tell me

I have to say that after watching the twelve monkeys, it feels like a nausea in the stomach, and there are a lot of things that I want to vomit. First of all, a movie with a great theme. People were almost extinct by a germ in 1996. Only 1% of the people still exist, but they can only live underground. People hope to return to the ground to live, but there are still such germs on the ground that humans cannot live on. In order to find this germ, a group of scientists sent our protagonist back to the past to search for these germs and bring them back for research.
But I have never understood whether the director wanted to create a story in which the world had been destroyed and James went back to get the germs, or all the illusions of two mental illnesses. If it is the first one, then why did the group of scientists still teleport the wrong era (1990.1920) after teleporting the wrong era for the first time, how did James return to the future underground from the past, and every time James What was the voice that called him Barbie before going back? How did the "beggar" whose teeth that were no longer able to go back had all been pulled out at a glance see that James is the man from the future world? If it were all the fantasy worlds of two lunatics, then the person in the future world gave James a real gun in the end, and the city before the outbreak of the germ, the order of the place where the scientist’s assistant is going is exactly the same. , Wait. The director gave so many loopholes without filling in them.
If the director fills in these loopholes, this film is really a good one.
