The origin of the Rain Caller I watched this morning at Bigao Studios
explained: According to the explanation in the film, it was because Lao Qiao killed the little boss's mother at the last moment when he came back to chase after him. no return.
But, the film also explained that when Lao Qiao was still Xiao Qiao, he killed Lao Lao Qiao and successfully sealed the ring, and then Lao Qiao was arranged by the rain caller to be sent back to be executed according to the contract 30 years later. Old Joe didn't kill the little boss's mother. How did this rain caller come into being? ? ?
If there is Xiao Qiao, Lao Qiao, Lao Lao Qiao, then there is Lao Lao Lao Qiao. . . Then, without Xiao Qiao, there would be no Old Qiao, no Old Old Qiao. . . In fact, the rain caller is still the rain caller, and it has not changed because of the existence of the plot of whether Joe killed his mother or not.
so, the explanation given at the end of the film is unreasonable! It's as if Joe's self-termination made the Raincaller out of existence! I believe this kind of bright ending is not what everyone wants!

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.
