When people talk about crossing now, they always imagine whether they can change history. This kind of thinking naturally brings the problem to morality. Ryan Johnson said: "Part of the science fiction world is based on assumptions. People can have a lot of fun from it. For example, if I can travel back, would I kill Hitler? Such a moral thing. Choice is an important indicator of science fiction. However, in this movie, I will not give too many answers to such moral questions. I put all choices and explanations on the characters. Because I personally cannot give too much interpretation to such moral issues, so everything is in the movie. Most of the plot of this movie is about a concept, that is, if you want to solve your problem , Then you have to find the right people at the right time. In the movie, you also need to kill them. The title of the movie "Looper" (Looper) is the kind of self-sufficiency that creates an infinite loop People with a self-sufficient system (Loop). As an ordinary person who wants to escape, breaking this infinite loop is the only option to break the curse. In this way, it may be a bit proud and complacent, but this is what we think in the movie The content of the expression."

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.
