1) Why is it called loop killer:

There is a killer profession called looper, which specializes in killing people sent back from the future by future gangsters.

In the future, when the gang wants to terminate the contract and erase the criminal record, they will send the killer back to the past and let the past killer kill the future self.

In the present, the killer kills the future self and can enjoy life until 30 years later when he is caught and sent back to the past, and then killed by the past self.

2) There is another loop in the plot:

A kills himself who was sent back, retires to enjoy life, and meets the woman he likes.

It was not until 30 years later that A was to be captured by the gang and sent back to the past for execution, and his woman was brutally murdered.

The hated A escaped after being sent back, and wanted to kill the gangster B when he was a child, so as to prevent his woman from being killed in the future.

The future A then killed B's mother in revenge. From then on, B went down the evil road with psychological distortion, and became the boss of the gang after 30 years and sealed all loopers including A. A was to be captured by the gang and sent back to the past for execution, and his woman was brutally murdered. So a loop is formed.

When future A is about to kill B's mother, A discovers that this is a loop. Only by committing suicide can future A disappear, B's mother will not die, and B will not go astray.

So, A committed suicide.

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.
