You have to admit the success of this movie. . .

One more star for the sake of Lao Bo and 囧 Joseph.
It was said that the screenwriter was quite self-deprecating at that time, "About the time-space paradox, we won't discuss it, we don't understand it anyway, we just want to make a low-cost movie that looks a bit dick to pretend X to idiots. Before two-thirds of the time, few people could guess the ending, right? Yes, it was the ending that was so vulgar that you would dare to dare to be so vulgar. How many people could have guessed that Lao Bu and Xiaojong would take on such a bad movie together? Coupled with such a vigorous publicity, it is guaranteed to scare the audience into the theater and watch the first half with anticipation. We are very successful, aren't we?"
Well, they did succeed, at least I didn't dare to stand up and shout because I was afraid of being beaten. Refund~~

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.
