Seeing your own death is a good thing or a bad thing

There is a survey, if you are given a chance to know the exact time of your death, would you choose to be willing or not?

As a result, only 4% of the people chose yes, and the remaining 96% chose not to.

Knowing the time of your own death is actually a very scary thing, and seeing your own death is not just scary.

Cole saw his own death, he just didn't know it, and when he finally did, he was going to die. This is fate and destiny. This is the grandfather theory. When the trajectory of life already belongs to the past, how should I face the present and the future.

Fortunately, Cole also saw the love of his life, and the tears left by the woman he loved for his death. Just like the supreme treasure, only when he died can he see the drop left by others in his heart. tears.

This life is enough.

The comments below are high-energy spoilers, and those who haven't seen it will be detoured. The following are two interpretations of the film.

From the perspective of time travel, Cole saw himself killed at the airport when he was young (I didn’t know it), and the deepest memory is the scream of the blonde woman, running, gunshots and men in pieds Down in a pool of blood, a box full of stickers. Cole grew up to be irritable and violent, went to prison, was selected to patrol the ground without contracting the virus, and was selected to go back to the past to investigate the source of the virus that wiped out five billion humans, because Cole saw on the ground patrol The Twelve Monkeys logo, thought it was related to the Twelve Monkeys, but it turned out that the Twelve Monkeys was just an animal environmental protection organization, and the real culprit was someone else. The above insurance prevented the tragedy (of course the ending didn't play out at all).

Of course, there is also a saying that the female scientist just went back and got the original virus and is not ready to save the world. In this story, Cole played a decisive role. In 1990, he implanted the Twelve Monkey Theory for Pitt and the Doomsday Theory for the female doctor. The female doctor became a famous scholar, taking Cole's remarks in the 1990s asylum as a case, a phenomenon called apocalypse, which deeply moved the assistant of the famous medical scientist of the Pitt family, that is, the real murderer. The female doctor believed Cole's theory to warn Pete's father, the old medical scientist changed the password and was finally kidnapped, just giving the assistant a chance to steal the virus. Cole went through all kinds of hardships and wanted to stop the doomsday. In fact, he was the initiator. This is simply a real version of Inception. The tragic color in this is that Cole fell in love with the female doctor and wanted to live in the past, in the past of oxygen, ocean, and water. In the end, the two died while fleeing.

In fact, since the conspiracy theory is out, it might as well be a little bolder. Cole was sent back by the scientists to create the virus tragedy.

The so-called insurance of women scientists is not to get the pathogen or prevent the end of the world, but to ensure that five billion people will die. The choice of Cole should have a deep meaning. Apart from the fact that he happens to be in prison and is prone to violence, the main reason should be that he was present when the virus spread. Since Cole can survive, we might as well think that he has an immunity . So first indoctrinate, then deliberately sent to 90 to implant the theory, then 96 to convince the female doctor to cause a riot, and finally kill Cole decisively when he is about to get out of control and obstruct the plan. Tragically, Cole's belief in saving the world was nothing but a hoax. It is speculated from the female doctor that she seems to have seen Cole somewhere, that the female doctor may also have been sent back to the past (washed some memories?).
