I loved 12 Monkeys.

Me too, but that doesn't change the fact that I couldn't tell you what it's about. (Granted, it's been a while since I last saw it.)

It was pretty simple. The scientist from the future (the leaders of the underground society) didn't want to fix the past. They wanted to cure the virus in the future.

Better to be a leader in the new future than to be a nobody in the old future.

See, I didn't remember any of that and though I understand the movie every time I watch it, I never can remember what the movie is about later.

I just watched that somewhat recently. I had no idea what the ending meant. Was it going to be fixed? Not a clue. I was too stupid to follow that one I guess.

The future people had the ability to time travel. Once they knew how the virus was initially released, they could have killed/stopped the lab assistant before he did anything.

Instead, they let him get on the plane. Remeber he flew to 7 major cities and released the virus. He'd already opened one of the virus vials and infected people at the security checkpoint. If they wanted to stop him, they wouldn't have let him get that far.

Remember at the end, the lab assistant sat down on the plane next to a woman who was from the future (one of the scientists). She was there to either contract the virus so she could take it back to the future to create a vaccine or she was there to somehow acquire a virus sample from him.

When she was asked by the lab assistant what line of work she was in, she responded, "I'm in insurance". In other words she was insuring that he completed his mission of spreading the virus.

Ah ha! I guess I didn't catch that she was from the future. Makes sense then that she maybe wanted to make a vaccine.

Now let's rip all the time problems in Butterfly Effect.

Funny enough i havent watched the first BTTF seen 2nd and 3rd heaps of times but only seen a few bits of the original as anytime they showed a movie here it was always the 2nd or third

Really should watch all the movies

Ginsu Victim · « **Reply #47 on:** May 26, 2010, 11:56:50 pm »

The first is a classic. The others are nothing compared to it. You REALLY need to watch it!

I knew it was the lady from the future, but always thought it was her younger self before the outbreak and they had her there just to show that she was a regular person before everything went bad.

Vanguard · « **Reply #49 on:** May 27, 2010, 08:25:42 am »

That couldn't be the case since she would have been exposed to the virus. She wouldn't be alive in the future.

Also, she would have been MUCH younger if it was her younger self. Remember, Cole was at the airport as his younger self and he was a little kid.

Vanguard · « **Reply #50 on:** May 27, 2010, 11:26:50 am »

Cole even said that his mission was to find the virus and when he did, a scientist from the future would come back and study the virus in its pure form.

The conversation took place in the car on the ride from Baltimore to Philadelphia if anyone wants to find it on the DVD.

Just finished watching 12 Monkeys again. After talking about it, I got the urge to see it.

The woman at the end is the future version of herself. She's not a day younger. If it was suppose to be an early version of her, she'd have to be 40+ years younger.

Also it sounds like she says, "I'm an assurance" instead of "I'm in insurance".

Vanguard · « **Reply #52 on:** May 27, 2010, 12:55:05 pm »

It sounds like "I'm an assurance". I always thought she said "I'm in Insurance" too but watching it again and even watching her mouth, it looks more like " an assurance.".

At any rate, she's the future woman, no doubt of that.

Plus, scripts don't always represent what got filmed.

shardian · « **Reply #53 on:** May 28, 2010, 09:57:07 am »

Twin/Lone Pines - I've caught that from day one.

12 Monkeys - I was young when I saw that, but I remember wanting to see it real bad. It was confusing!!! I never picked up on the future lady. I always thought the point was that you can't change the future because the future still sucks even when they are sending a dude back. Why? Because Cole remembered seeing the long haired dude get arrested at the airport even as an adult. Then it becomes obvious he saw himself get arrested and the real criminal get away. Always thought that was a cool ending and a good example of time travel. Knowing about the scientist lady...I don't know, that kind of ruins it for me I think.

Old Biff took the time machine back to the future

before young biff actually read the thing. remember he used the dust cover for the

mag.
so the act was set in motion but the events hadnt actually occured yet.

If you want to talk about time traveling plot holes, who here watched LOST? There were plot holes in there you could drive not one tractor trailer through but a dozen.

Careful now... Might be better off starting a new thread. I'd like to hear your plot holes. If you missed a single episode, there's your plot hole.

Twin pine / Lone pine: I remember talking to friends after seeing the flick and we all caught it. The likelyhood is that you guys did catch it and just forgot about it (it's a small detail). It's actually not a feat to catch it, as I recall, the old man says "You ran over my pine, you sonnavabitch" so they called great attention to it.

It's pretty common knowledge but some of you might not be aware...

They shot about 1/3 of BTTF with Eric Stoltz as Marty. The footage was supposedly destroyed but there are rumors of it being out there somewhere.

That was the biggest complaint about the DVD boxed set they released a while back - that they didn't put the Stoltz footage in.

Well, actually, the second biggest complaint.... the "framing fiasco" was the a much bigger issue for fans.

I suspect that if they put the Stoltz footage in, they'd have to pay him for it. Why bother to make a small minority of fans happy.

I'm surprised more of you didn't notice the Twin/Lone Pine thing. They call attention to the pines several times during the film. First before Marty goes back Doc says this whole thing was farmland, belonged to a crazy farmer who was crazy about pine trees. Then they show Marty running over one of the trees. They don't touch on it again until the end.

In my defense I was 7 years old.

Same here. I was seven when it came out. I sure I probably caught on at some point, but forgot about it.
