Add a star for the sake of the traditional Chinese translation

Some people say they don't understand (well, referring to Xiaoya), but I understand it quite clearly.

The story is very simple and super simple. Of course, the setting has to be rough. In short, the director forcibly set a future that can be easily traversed but is strictly prohibited in order to tell everyone that it is okay to sacrifice himself for the lover. Unable to handle the corpse of the man tracked by the implanted chip, the powerful gangster teleports him to the past to have someone from the past destroy him.

You see, no matter how you look at it, it's a mentally retarded setting.

Fortunately, the actors are very handsome. The performances of the two male leads and the second male lead are excellent, so that people will not decide to say goodbye to this theater after watching it (although it is almost a goodbye, ah 囧), it is also worth returning. fare.

As for the Chinese elements in the film, uh, including Xu Qing, well, it is basically equivalent to the fantasy in other films, although I have to admit that the first time I went to the Bund the night before yesterday saw the scenery I saw the next afternoon. There is a subtle sense of time travel on the screen, but neither Xu Qing nor China is my thing.

The advantages are not without, the plot is very tight, if you don't think that there are urine spots everywhere in the whole film, you can basically think that there are no urine spots. The time periods given by runpee are 56-60min and 77-81min. If you go out in the dark, it may not be too late, but Fortunately, there are very few people in the theater -- and it doesn't seem like there will be many.

The Chinese title of the film always reminds me of "Disc World", and this film makes me hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum hum. Humph.

Thanks LetraDeCeniza for the invitation and hospitality. PS: It's not easy to find your name. . .

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.
