A sci-fi suspense film with a tense plot and logical calculation

Avis 2022-04-20 09:01:02

To review it again, in science fiction movies like time and space return, the logic can be said to make sense. The suspense is solved at the end, and the plot is fascinating. There are still loopholes in the plot, the toothless man James always hears calling him Bob is himself, but if he died in that world in 1990, how could there be an old him? How could he give advice to the young him if he didn't get old? The second, the female doctor said that she knew him, and the only explanation was her one-stop photo, which was her confirmation that James was not a lunatic. But it seems unreasonable to know him all the time just by looking at it, but we don't need to set logic so strictly. In a story that is itself a science fiction, science fiction cannot conform to reality.
Brad Pitt did a great job in this film, he played a lunatic very well.
The most amazing thing about this film is that the origin and development route of creating the destruction of the world are advanced layer by layer. It takes James, the female doctor, Brad Pitt, his father, his father's assistant, all five of which are indispensable, to finally lead to the destruction of the world. This screenwriter is really amazing.

    "The Embankment" and "12 Monkeys" have their own merits. I still prefer "The Embankment". The theme music of "12 Monkeys" is very nice.

    A circular theory, one report pays one return, no matter how to change the incentive, the result has already been produced. I personally think that both the beggar and the little boy are James. When Catherine started to give a speech, the director focused on the signing ceremony, and the laboratory assistants were already very eye-catching at that time. In the middle of the movie, James sees Jeffrey who said "watch out" to him between half asleep and half awake. At the end, it is the science of the future taking off with the laboratory assistant on the plane.

12 Monkeys quotes

  • [James Cole found a spider and knows he's got to take it with him, let's it crawl over his hand while deciding what to do with it]

    Jeffrey Goines: You know what crazy is? Crazy is majority rules. Take germs, for example.

    James Cole: Germs?

    Jeffrey Goines: Uh-huh. In the eighteenth century, no such thing, nada, nothing. No one ever imagined such a thing. No sane person, anyway. Ah! Ah! Along comes this doctor, uh, uh, uh, Semmelweis, Semmelweis. Semmelweis comes along. He's trying to convince people, well, other doctors mainly, that's there's these teeny tiny invisible bad things called germs that get into your body and make you sick. Ah? He's trying to get doctors to wash their hands. What is this guy? Crazy? Teeny, tiny, invisible? What do you call it? Uh-uh, germs? Huh? What? Now, cut to the 20th century. Last week, as a matter of fact, before I got dragged into this hellhole. I go in to order a burger in this fast food joint, and the guy drops it on the floor. Jim, he picks it up, he wipes it off, he hands it to me like it's all OK. "What about the germs?" I say. He says, "I don't believe in germs. Germs is just a plot they made up so they can sell you disinfectants and soaps." Now he's crazy, right? See?

    [James Cole finally takes the spider into his mouth, Jeffrey Goines is either too deep into his talk or unimpressed by this and continues his talk as if nothing happened]

    Jeffrey Goines: Ah! Ah! There's no right, there's no wrong, there's only popular opinion. You... you... you believe in germs, right?

  • James Cole: Look at them. They're just asking for it. Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out.

    Jeffrey Goines: Wiping out the human race? That's a great idea. That's great. But more of a long-term thing. I mean, first we have to focus on more immediate goals.
