Title: 12 Monkeys
Post by: Darth Joyda on August 02, 2001, 01:37:28 AM
Just saw it yesterday night.

What a wonderful movie, I must say!

It was mysterious, but in the end, everything revealed to me - every piece went into their places. You can\'t change the past, and evil wins if it won.

It wasn\'t confusing, like some say - the plot was quite easily understandable.

I\'m searching for the 12 members of the Monkey-army...
Are you ready to join the believers?

I have to check it at the time the movie came out I did not understand it seeing how I was just on a whole nother planet at the time and I was much younger. I will check it out now it has to be what 5 six years since it came out.

Is it just me or is Brad Pitt one of the coolest actors of our time. I think about it and pretty much every movie he has been in is one of my favorites. Its weird.

Yeah, I thought about that too recently. In the beginning he was just a new Hollywood pretty boy, but he\'s been lucky in his selection of movies.. He\'s actually pretty good and I enjoy most of the movies he stars in.

I took my own advice and watched it ;)

Yes, I agree, Brad Pitt was absolutely wonderful - and Bruce was, well, like Bruce usually is. But he\'s far better actor, whom was an action-movie macho, than likes of Schwarzenegger and Stallone.

But was 12 monkeys a commercial success? As movies like it usually won\'t do a lot of money - because, erm, they\'re different. Joe Public doesn\'t usually love strange and original movies.

funny,  i recently watched 12 monkeys for the first time as well on dvd...and i loved it...
same director who made Brazil so i wasnt surprised that it would be this good...
what i took from the movie was that the bad guys won...and that the present was really when bruce willis was in the underground levels with those scientists...brad pitt was awesome as usual and bruce was great too....

Well, the movie keeps me thinking. If boy sees his own death, his own future-self coming back to the present from the future, the time-cycle must be endless.

Bruce Willis\'s character can never stop existing.

It\'s truly strangely wonderful :)

thers one bit i dont understand, at the end the "baddie" gets on the plane, and sits next to a women, the women is one of the scientist people..... so did they send her back to get a sample of the plague, kill him or was it just a coincidence that she was next to him????????

A mysterious ending. And I loved it :)
