The most impressive thing about the twelve monkeys is when James was sticking his beard in the airport toilet, he heard bystanders say, "they" won't let you go, when you don't belong here, they roared hysterically, 1996 is his present, He wants to stay here. Because there is his obsession here, there is what he longs for.
The elder James died because of the act of saving, and in the end he could not be seen as the sea with the heroine. He, who was supposed to be a survivor, became a victim and stayed in this dying world. When he was young, after witnessing the shooting at the airport, his obsession with the heroine reappeared. After 30 years, he will be selected again because of this obsession and will return next time. it's always you. It's always you, everything is because of you, so I come back again and again and try to stay here again and again.
Back to the movie itself. In 2035, when the male protagonist went to the ground to collect insect samples, he saw black bears, lions, birds in the clothing store, and angel statues. In 1996, other forms of black bears, lions, angels, etc. appeared in other forms such as advertisements, stone statues, etc., regardless of reality.
In recurring dreams, the person who carried the suitcase changed from Jeffrey to his assistant, whether his presence had an impact on the past, or did he travel to meet Jeffrey in the 1990s and have an impact on the dream.
There are also a large number of doomsday prophets who appear repeatedly in the play. In Revelation 1362, the priest predicted the doomsday 600 years later; in 1996, the priest who met the hero and heroine on the street was also talking about the doomsday. He also recognized James and said "you are one of us". The self-proclaimed futurist who appeared in France in 1971 claimed to be looking for a virus, and the photo is identical to what Jose looked like in the 1990 battlefield where James and Jose appeared. In addition, there is an old man who has always called James Bob. When James said he had seen him, the old man asked if it was 1872, and James answered 1996.
1996 concentrated all the contradictions. The future people are not only from 2035, but also from after 2035. They not only appeared in 1990, 1996 and so on, but also appeared in 2035. Future people from different futures, for their own "future", and at the same time ensure that "history" remains unchanged, and supervise travelers who travel through other time and space. After being gathered together, "history remains unchanged".
The only thing that has changed is James, whose future and destination have always been in 1996, not for others, but for his own persistence. For James, Future is history.
