First of all, from the point of view that Joe's feelings can act on the old Joe, it is not a parallel space. But old Joe enjoyed it for 30 years after closing the ring. If it wasn't for the parallel space, it wouldn't make sense. He should have encountered the same thing at the time.
The initial setting was that people could not kill people casually in the future, which led to the work of the ring messenger, and there was a reason for the continuous transmission of time and space. But when the killer went to catch old Joe, he blindly shot and killed Xu Qing just because the figure outside the window flickered. Could it be that the killer's thinking also came back at this time.
Old Joe came back to check the birth date and found three babies. The birth rate in the United States is really low. If thousands or hundreds of them are found, it is estimated that he needs to be busy.
Old Joe's love for Xu Qing made the closing ring that he should have faced calmly turned into a lost ring. The purpose of his return is very clear, to find the rain caller and get rid of it, so as to avoid Xu Qing from being killed. So he doesn't care about his own safety, which is why he did it despite struggling to kill the dance girl. But Joe is obviously not. After he lost the ring, he always wanted to kill old Joe so that he would not die. So the incomprehensible thing about Joe, who finally saw through the ending, shot and committed suicide is that he didn't want to save people, so why would he want to stop the Raincaller from growing up. Xu Qing had never met him, and old Joe was what he always wanted to kill, so whether the Raincaller was dead or alive had nothing to do with him. A man who has been working hard for his own life, finally committed suicide with a gun. The only reason can only be that he has feelings for Sara and Cid. So if the killer has feelings, he is already dead.
Cid has an Orphan Grudge version of maturity from the first conversation with Joe. This mature temperament makes people shudder. The acting of the child is quite remarkable.
In addition, the first time Joe used silver ingots for money was RMB. This is in America. Is the renminbi in circulation as an underground currency?

Trivia:
1. The director originally planned Joe to live in Paris in his old age, which is why Joe can learn French. But it turned out that they couldn't afford to shoot in Paris, and if they insisted, they would have to shoot the Paris scenes in New Orleans. So the location was changed to Shanghai, because Chinese investors were willing to cover their expenses in Shanghai.
2. Emily Blunt agreed to the filming invitation halfway through the script, and she didn't even know what her role was.

    The old stalks who have chewed and chewed are meaningless.

    In the first half an hour, it looked like a well-designed time travel drama. It suddenly entered an unintelligible stream of rural life in the middle. It then evolved into the opening sequence of "X-Men 3 The Rise of the Black Phoenix", and finally ended with a certain version of "Butterfly Effect". .... The director has a unique pursuit of style, but seems to have a mastery of the genre film.

Looper quotes

  • Older Joe: My memory's cloudy. It's a cloud. Because my memories aren't really memories. They're just one possible eventuality now. And they grow clearer or cloudier as they become more are less likely. But then they get to the present moment, and they're instantly clear again. I can remember what you do after you do it. And it hurts.

    Joe: So even when we're apart, you can remember what I do after?

    Older Joe: Yes, but this is a precise description of a fuzzy mechanism. It's messy.

  • Sara: This is a Remington 870. One blast could cut you the fuck in half.

    Joe: In half. Yeah, that's telling. You're holding a gun, I say I'm not afraid, so you describe the gun to me. It's not the gun I'm not afraid of.
